A great place to have breakfast. The people are so nice and they take our/your health very serious. We had the best omelet ever today, very tasty and fluffy. I highly recommend it.

What a delightful and friendly place! Not to mention the good home cooking (I had the Hot Beef Sandwich with mashed potatoes) and multiple pie offerings (had the cherry... they had run out of Strawberry for the day) that I would have gladly tasted all of them. The cherry was great, tasty crust, not too sweet. Have you guys thought about offering a pie flight... 3 or 4 different two bite pieces per plate...? Just thinking...

Great little diner in the heart of Pontiac, IL. Lunch is fantastic, and so is their breakfast (which they serve all day). A great little spot to eat when taking in the sights of down town.

This place is a hidden gem (literally a hidden gem; hard to find!) We loved the atmosphere and decorations. Overall, Great food and service. Best of all, the price couldn't be beat. We had breakfast for 4 people (coffees included) for under $40. We'll be back. I highly recommend this place if you want good food and/or like saving money

Breakfast was good, biscuits and gravy exceptional. The place was packed, so it took a bit for the food to arrive, but worth the wait. Prices were very affordable. I ordered half order of biscuit and the Friday $2.99 egg and hash brown special. Great meal for under $6.50.

Stopped here for an early lunch after visiting Pontiac museum. We ordered an omelet and french toast. Both were very good. Our server was friendly and prompt. There was one drawback. We were seated towards the back, near the counter, where people were picking up food. That's fine except people were bumping into our table, a couple children were playing and knocked over things on our table, etc. Just too close, I think.

The Postal Burger was good and so were the cheese balls. Not the best, but it hit the spot. Overhearing another table, the cooks should probably wear hair nets. Good price on Miller Lite at $2.50/bottle. The waitress during the day shift was great. My biggest issue with this place is that it's too quiet. No music at all when we went. I usually try to avoid places like that as it's uncomfortable.
