What Deanna Larson doesn't like about Happy Chef:
This is our go to place when traveling. Our service was outstanding. Food could have been better but it was clear they are under staffed. This place needs a little TLC. View all feedback. What User likes about Happy Chef:
Nice diner, friendly service, good food, Jill has a great job. You have just opened new hours to 6 instead of 7. Was 100% why I chose them over other diners in the area. An early booker, glad they were open at 6:00. View all feedback.

Just make sure if you order breakfast, that you ask for jelly for your toast because it isn't on the table and waitress doesn't bring any..
