We came here because of the hype and it was real. We loved the cast iron pancakes the most. It soaks in an amazing syrup with the biggest scoop of butter on top.
The French toast was tasty and they use a brioche bread, so it is flaky. Not my favorite but still a great option! Another top contender was the American Cuban sandwich - all the fillings were cooked, which was great for my pregnant self. I was in love with the sandwich but the fries were to die for! The seasoning and the cook on them were perfect. Loved the ambiance and would highly recommend for anyone to come to eat here!!

The server was super friendly and food came out within 10-15 minutes despite it being busy. We only waited for 30 minutes for a table of 3 but there’s so much to walk around and do that it didn’t feel like a wait at all.

Best fries I've ever had , we had the Cuban and frita sandwich and they were amazing . The duck croquettes  were freaking delicious.  The guava gimlets were very refreshing and delicious and unfortunately the flan was also the best I've ever had but I know they're secret ( amazing) and all with a side of excellent service and great
recomendations .

Chug’s Diner came highly recommended by The Infatuation and has been featured in the Michelin Guide for three consecutive years, so we had high expectations—and it delivered!

We visited at 10 AM on a Saturday, and even though the place was packed, we were seated in under two minutes. There are a handful of vegetarian options to choose from, which was great. Here’s what we tried:
•	Phyllis Broccoli Breakfast Hash: This dish was a standout! The broccoli was perfectly charred, and the stems blended beautifully with the rest of the ingredients. The sunny-side-up eggs were a great complement. I topped it off with some red hot sauce, and it was mind-blowing. A wonderfully curated and flavorful dish.
•	Artichoke and Spinach Croquetas: Another hit. Served on a small plate with salted crackers and lime (an unexpected touch), the lime added a zesty freshness to the creamy croquetas. Pairing them with the crackers was surprisingly delicious. A creative and well-thought-out dish.
•	Cast Iron Pancakes: These came highly praised, so we had to try them. They reminded me of gulab jamun, a familiar Indian dessert, with their sweetness and texture. While rich and indulgent, they’re best shared with a group due to their heaviness. A nice one-time treat. Would I try this again? No

The vibe here is fantastic, and the outdoor seating is especially charming. Overall, this place is definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

A solid 4.5/

Very MID. Everything is cooked with tons of oils and seasonings, very very greasy. We ordered the frita patty, pan con bistec and cast iron pancake, and everything tasted very mid and just greasy. Quite disappointing.
