AI Summary

CBD retro American diner where the chicken and waffles and burnt-butter pancakes live up to the hype

Retro American roadside-diner styling. booth seating, playful menu names and a buzzy, packed-out brunch crowd on weekends.

Retro diner decor and booth seating, a text-when-ready waitlist system, and steak-and-unlimited-fries deals on select nights.

Leans into a nostalgic American roadside-diner theme rather than a specific heritage cuisine; several reviewers compare the vibe to classic US diners.

Reviewers call CBD pricing reasonable for generous portions, especially the steak-night specials, though a few flag $25-32 plates as pricey for inconsistent execution.
