“ I went to Westside for the first time last weekend- MAN had I been missing out. We had a big group so it was a bit of a wait but it was worth it! Our whole table ordered the Hungriest breakfast, which came with SO much food. (Seriously, we started stacking dishes on top of cups to make space.) The bacon was cooked to perfection, and the pancakes were SO fluffy. I also ordered the dill pickle soup, which was some of the best I've ever had! Our server was so kind, and very easy to get along with. We will absolutely be back! ”
“ Loved this place. Delightful and cozy. Taylor was a lovely waitress. I had the 9th Street consisting of eggs, choice of bread, choice of meat and potato pancakes. It was so very satisfying and delicious. The place gives off a charming village eatery vibe. 10 out of 10, would recommend. ”
“ Good food. It was super busy in a Saturday morning and there was a wait. It was worth it. Everything was tasty. I loved the Belgium waffle. The quiche was just okay. The breakfast quesadilla was really good. Service was kind. The ambiance is a classic, small diner. Wouldn't recommend for really large groups. ”
“ We are in from out of town and our hotel had a less than favorable offering for "breakfast." I'm glad they did!! I said let's pack up and head towards home and we'll let Apple Maps help us find a diner on the way. It was busy as expected for a Sunday morning but the hostess greeted us and sat us immediately! I had the special and my husband had the burrito. Servers were attentive and kept our coffees full. The potatoes were perfection!! ”
