The Scene
The homey interior features countrified decor with exposed brick walls covered in quilts and knick-knacks, and a cow motif prevails without irony. Friendly servers offer helpful suggestions and guide diners through the popular list of daily and nightly specials. During nice weather, a few outdoor tables offer prime Upper West Side people-watching on Amsterdam Avenue.
The Food
Popular breakfast and brunch menus are comprised of wholesome and old-fashioned food: Irish oatmeal, perfectly fluffy omelets (named after New York neighborhoods) and bacon that's extra thick and lean. Pumpkin French toast and chocolate-chip coconut pancakes come with real maple syrup and strawberry butter. At dinner, the quesadilla of the day is a popular starter. Entrees consist of cozy culinary Americana like mac and cheese, fish-and-chips and a classic meat loaf with mashed potatoes. Made-from-scratch desserts are a sure bet for ending the meal with flourish.

This place is perfect on Sunday mornings. The neighborhood knows this, so go early as locals will flock to it

I ordered a burger, with additional cheddar cheese. I was seated outside for there's no room inside and it was a very hot day. However, burger was GREAT! Bun was toasted and still hot. The beef petty was juicy and well-cooked. It was a mouth- watering and until now. Waiting deserves it.
