In that tongue-in-cheek blog, "Stuff White People Like", one of the best entries is that of getting up at ungodly hours on a Sunday morning, and waiting forever for a really good Sunday breakfast. Wagon's West could've been on their mind when they wrote that, as crowds seem to snake around for blocks as one waits for a table at this no-frills, working class diner.\r

Even with a Thousand Island (not Russian dressing) Reuben sandwich, this version knocks the socks off of any other restaurant's, being unrepentantly high-caloried. The waitresses seem to be transplants mostly from New York and Jersey, a mixture of rude and ready. Think Soup Nazi, but wearing eyeliner.\r
