Best hamburger and fries in Media. The burger is a generously sized quarter pound and the fries are thickly cut, have a firm consistency and traditional flavor. Very happy to have this neighborhood joint getting after it with a humble attitude- nothing fancy, reasonable prices and fast service.

Cute restaurant, a very small menu but basic and great. The sandwich was ok, eggs could have been cooked a lot longer, and the roll could have been toasted. Was hoping for more special coffee options considering it's a cafe. Super quick service and the staff are really nice. Very clean and organized. The soup was really good and HOT. Definitely consider giving this place a try! The prices are great as well

We love the food! The pot roast sandwich is incredible! The chicken salad on the cross was great! Chips with the sandwiches would really add to the lunch. Don't sell the bags of chips individually ...just add the chips onto the plate . Chips always complete a sandwich!

This place just opened and I was happy with the service, food and atmosphere! This is a perfect place to visit if you're around the area in the morning or if you're a juror. I know that the Delco Courthouse has a cafeteria, but you'll want to spread out a bit to a more comfortable place that's just a block away. I had the Egg, Meat and Cheese sandwich with turkey sausage and sourdough bread. It was so delicious! I highly recommend visiting!

This place made us feel right at home. We were in a bit of a rush but still decided to dine in—and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, and the atmosphere had such a warm, neighborhood vibe. The chef even came out to ask how everything was—something you don’t see often anymore. It felt like they genuinely cared. We’re visiting from Chicago and honestly wish we had more spots like this back home. The breakfast sandwiches were unbelievable—the Philly-style American cheese they use? You can’t replicate that! Perfectly grilled, gooey, and packed with flavor. Also loved the French toast sticks with strawberries on the side—crispy outside, soft inside, and just the right amount of sweetness. Such a gem. We’ll be back anytime we’re in town. Pro tip: Even if you’re short on time, sit down and soak it in—it’s worth it. In and out in 20 minutes!
