Very good! This is the best matzo ball soup I've ever had! Overall, it's a nice and friendly place. I only discovered it about a year ago, thanks to my wife who raved about it. Since then, we've been going back and haven't been disappointed. I can't give it 5 stars, even though many things deserve it. In my humble opinion, restaurants sometimes try to offer too many items, which can lead to some being just 'okay.' However, I've never had a bad meal here. All the classics are great—burgers, breakfast dishes, gyros, and soups.

I ordered the Cajun burger, expecting a bold burst of flavor. Unfortunately, I was disappointed as it only had a mild hint of Cajun seasoning and didn’t deliver the intense flavor I anticipated. It wasn’t bad, but there’s definitely room for improvement. I also requested my burger to be cooked medium, but it arrived medium well. On the plus side, the burger was quite large. My nephew ordered a burger cooked medium, but it came out medium well. I sampled my son’s Cuban panini, which had good flavor but was a bit dry. Everyone else in our group seemed satisfied with their meals. Overall, I would rate this diner three and a half stars if that option were available.

I chose a random place to eat while driving to NYC. It's definitely a no-frills diner, but the meal I ordered—the Greek platter with seafood bisque—was quite tasty. The milkshake, however, was just okay. I would definitely return for the Greek platter again.
