Old school diner with inexpensive, hearty fare. The staff are terrific. This place has been around for seventy years.

Excellent breakfast food that is SIMPLE. Word to the wise… this place is cash only. We had to go across the street to the atm at family dollar. The place itself is dated with very limited seating. There was only one table out of the entire restaurant that could accommodate 4 people so we got lucky today. We will definitely return to Irvs!

Friendly neighborhood breakfast spot. Food is good but just little higher than some other similar diners in 5 mile radius. Free parking in lot across the street otherwise it's street parking by meters at a quarter for 30 minutes. Overall a great greasy spoon local diner. Thanks Dan for awesome breakfast & Paul for quick friendly service.
