Always Amazing! Their house creamy Italian (I bought some to go) is the Best, their French Onion soup..wow! And oddly enough (I know some people will cringe) their Liver & Onions ..as good as my Dads!

Chris Siwinski

Try the Farmer's Omelet with sausage , a side of scrapple, and a coffee at 2:00AM. Damn good.

Robert Edwards

The French toast is the best. The cream cheese omelette with tomatoes and chives is amazing.

Jason Velykis

The eggs Benedict are the best in the city ... they don't have them all the time but when they do you need to order them. Now.

The Traveler

Wife had the French onion soup and corn beef special she said was good. I had the Popeye burger.The taste was good but it was on the small side. I would return but order something different next time

Nick Sweetman

Fantastic service & staff ; helpful with providing options and making suggestions. Cinnamon Raisin French toast was fantastic! Cash only .

Tim Bovitt

The French Onion soup is a must have, along with the French Toast .

The Dining Car & Market's chicken croquettes stole the spotlight for a segment on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. Order them and find out why.

Every first Sunday of the month they serve Eggs Benedict. Perfect thin ham and REAL Hollandaise sauce .
