It's healthy. Yeah, it costs more than a Denny's but the ambience is much better--NYTimes readers, profs, berkeley posthippies--and the ingredients are healthier, fresher, mostly organic. I love going there when I'm flush, been going for 10 yrs. Waffles are superb, chicken sausages supreme, omelettes tasty and made with veggie-fed eggs; their on-premise bakery is excellent. Lunches are great too. It's like homecooked food, only healthier. I walk out full without stale oil gurgling in my esophageal tract, which I hate to say happens at both Denny's and Ole's. I love the diners but that oil revisiting my throat means it's old trans fat oil. Not good.

Award Nomination: Best Breakfast Ever

This IS a local favorite, but I can't understand why. Berkeley-ites flock here on the weekends for food that is basically everything that Denny's SHOULD be (eggs cooked right, bacon not under or over cooked, it's clean, pancakes are OK too, coffee very average.)

BUT, you pay through the nose for food you could probably get at Denny's too. There are places in Berkeley that cost the same amount but deliver MUCH better food. Not worth it.

Award Nomination: Biggest Ripoff
