It's been a good while since I've been here, but since learning they're open late, I decided to come back and give it a try. I'm always on the hunt for late night spots in the city with good food and Grubstake checks all of the boxes. A cute little spot on Pine, You could probably pass this place and not notice what it was. Once you step in, there's a very cozy feeling. Quite a few tables and booths, but there's also a countertop. You have the option of ordering online or you can ask for a traditional menu in order through a server. Once we sat down, we are immediately greeted a staff member and were given water. Ordering online is super easy. A couple things that I would definitely recommend: • Onion rings • Grilled Buffalo Wings Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. I had the cheeseburger and it was so juicy and perfectly cooked. This place is a real gem! Parking can be a little bit difficult but definitely would recommend coming here. Staff is super friendly and food comes out in a timely fashion!

Great experience at this restaurant. The standout dishes were the burger and loaded wedges, which were cooked to perfection, and the cookies and cream milk shake, which was creamy and delicious. The only downside was that we had to pay upfront, but this did not significantly impact our enjoyment of the restaurant. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for its great food and service.

Surprisingly tasty little diner based in old tram car. Open until 3am if you're having a late one. Wide choice & recommend the Philly steak cheese on French roll.

Guy Fieri ate here and guess what I see why. Was delicious and very nice service. They were fast with the food and drinks as well. Me and my husband shared a steak dinner and was perfect. Highly recommend.

If I could I'd give 3.5 stars, that's what I think it deserves, not because it's terrible but because the only time I'd go here is for those 3am occasional nights out. The food was decent and the environment was calming because of the artificial garden on the ceiling. Beats Denny's IMO.

The place is quite nice and there's nothing wrong with the service but the burgers are overpriced and not that good for the price. Moreover if you want to add a side of fries to your $17 burger, you'll add $6.5 and it won't even be for a full plate. The clam chowder however has a better price/quality ratio than the rest.

This place is just ok, food was ok, and the ambiance was ok. Pricey likely for what it is. But if it was 2am I probably would have thought it good.

Food was delicious. Made to order. No precooked garbage. Fast orders too. Best place for some late night home made foods. You can taste the love the chefs put into their work. Will be coming back every time I have a late shift.
