Thoughts
Solid but not spectacular. The soup was tasty and the burger was juicy and well-cooked. The service was relatively prompt and our waiter was nice and conversational. The place feels a little cramped, but that just adds to the diner atmosphere; the prices aren't dirt cheap, but you definitely won't be overpaying for anything. The menu is full of traditional Italian dishes and a variety of pizzas, so I'll have to sample those at some point, but people seem to drift towards the traditional diner food (burgers, chicken fingers) and breakfast foods (served all day). There's good variety in the menu and I don't recall having anything bad there; all-around, it's a good place to eat and it's open until 2, just in case you need a quick meal during a study break.
Recap
Pros - Good food, cheap prices, little variability
Cons - Somewhat limited menu, quality ceiling is only so high
Overall - It's not the Princetonian, Americana, or Mastoris, but it's a good diner. If you're not looking for something too adventurous, this is the place for you.

good pancakes and crepes, for cheaper than IHOP has even with a discount, however the cheesecake had to be the worst cheesecake I'd ever had in my life.
Always reliable for some delicious chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream! (Plus you get your food a lot faster than at IHOP!)
