Very small old house with a seating for ? 25? We stopped in for lunch (3 people). We waited out on the sidewalk, put our names on a tablet and waited in line. It was a nice sunny day. No shade.
We decided on burgers and a BLT. It was good american-fare, without any surprises. The beef was good but I couldn't help think that I could've made the same at home. It was served with crinkle potato chips and a pickle. I had to ask for condiments. I wanted something interesting, I suppose. The BLT was just that, a big piece of bacon etc on toasted white bread. Just okay. Maybe breakfast is more interesting but I suspect...the attraction is the portion size and not the originality.

The place is very small and the parking is by meter on the street, mostly.

If you want fresh food, Matt's is the place. They use organic eggs. They buy their bread from local bakeries. The jellies are from local farms. Their pork is flown in fresh from Iowa. Orange juice freshly squeezed.
The daily special is generally an egg scramble that includes some meat, peppers, etc and changes every day.
The first thing you'll notice is the potential hour long wait (mostly on the weekend). Don't let it scare you away.
Price is fair, you pay a little more because of the quality. The pricing is certainly NOT a rip-off.
It's a diner, so it is kid-friendly.
Breakfast is served all day and the long line is non-existent after 10am on weekdays.

Good food, but a bit overpriced. Being a native New Yorker, I appreciate how small and cramped it is in there.
