The Story

The scent of griddled pancakes and strong coffee warmly greets you as you step into Handy’s, a true blast from the past. Every nook and cranny of the retro parlor promises a comforting, hearty meal, from the crispy bacon to the fluffy stacks. It's a sweet, unpretentious slice of Americana, where every bite feels like home.

    Handy’s, thank you for this truly amazing and delicious American experience! We loved the food, owner’s warm welcome and being surrounded by the history of this place. If you’re not sure how you like your eggs prepared, chef knows over 10 styles;)

    Searched “best Ruben” and Handy’s popped up. The owner made my Ruben fresh Bread toasted to perfection. Sauerkraut and dressing the right amount. Added flavor but didn’t take away from the star of the dish- the Pastromi. Great quality, cooked perfect. Huge sandwich. Fries were crispy. Great friendly place. Definitely would come back and support a local business that makes great food

    Such a hidden gem! We had a wonderful breakfast and great conversation with the owner. You don't come across places like this anymore🤍 Great company & food what more do you need! The boop on the nose sealed the deal for us, we felt right at home! Can't wait to come back

    Phenomenal, it's a tight venue, and you can see the chef cooking everything. 60 after tips for 3 people, everything was delicious. Got the Chuck Norris to share with friends
