We love this place. Huevos Ranchero's rocked. Chicken and Waffles were the bomb, Greek Salad and Crab Cakes. Heavenly!

Found this place looking for somewhere off I-95 and saw it had been on TripleD. The food was amazing! Best meatloaf I have ever eaten! Great turkey plate. Rockin' mashed potatoes! Quick service by smiling and hospitable servers. Do not pass this one by!

Have been trying to find time to visit this location after seeing the Triple D episode and also hearing from friends and colleagues about how great it was. Went here for lunch last week and it did not disappoint. Portions were huge! My lunch partner got the "Big Fish" sandwich and it was huge! I got the chipolte fish wrap... More

As a tourist passing through visiting family I have to agree! Eat here and you will be pleased but be prepared to wait 20-30 minutes if your party is more than... More

My husband and I saw this restaurant profiled on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, and had breakfast here during a weekday visit to Jacksonville. I'm glad we were there on a weekday, as I can't imagine how busy it would be on a weekend. We had no problem parking, but I'm guessing on weekends it can be a challenge. I had... More

You really have to try this place. They serve breakfast and lunch. Very clean inside and out. It is a typical diner and fantastic food. Make sure to read the entire menu, because they have so many different plates to chose from. The servers are super quick and ready to please. The kitchen is open and you can see the... More

They do have good breakfasts.....Eggs Benedict was excellent. Large sandwiches for lunch. Hard to get in...there's usually a wait of at least 20 minutes....more like 40 (on a Saturday morning in the Mandarin location). Walked right into the San Marco restaurant around 9:50 on a Thursday morning tho.

We usually get here early for Sunday breakfast (before 8 AM) to avoid the Sunday crowd. Their service usually is fast and accurate. The food is good 'ole diner food with a bit of style and a lot of flavor. Eggs Benedict is always well-prepared. I see lots of patrons eating Fried Chicken and pancakes for breakfast. Too much for...

I think there is way too much hype about this place only because it was on a TV show. That doesn't make it good. I've been here several times, for lunch and breakfast. All of those times it has just been average. Nothing great. The stuffed french toast had no flavor despite being the talked about dish. Not the first... More
