Had a couple Jack and cokes before I realized I'd have to have 15 more before even beginning to feel them. Couldn't taste any alcohol , just a small splash. To bad , otherwise good atmosphere.

At first glance, it looks a little run down but the inside is far from that. The servers were genuinely kind and the atmosphere was calming. They also seem tocelebrate the holidays I was impressed with their decorations. Being from NJ, it reminded me of the east coast. I ate theoatmeal with bananas and raisins and it was delicious. This place is awesome!

Their menu is extensive and they have a full bar. I ordered one of my diner faves a triple decker (known atEffie's as the house club) and holy cow, it was fantastic. Real roast turkey not the slimy deli version on sourdoughwith bacon, shredded lettuce, tomato, and mayo. I immediately wanted to come back the following week to order it all over again,but unfortunately, Effie's is out of my way. Maybe I will become a monthly regular, though! Also had to try theirchocolate/vanilla cake (forget the name), which is made fresh daily, and it was heavenly rich, indulgent sugar bomb of mydiner dreams.
