Hollandaise Diner also serves three classic breakfast dishes, like the Hungry Diner, that comes with two strips of bacon, two eggs, two sausages, baked beans and pancakes.
Starving Artist is known for its frugal and friendly all-day breakfast service and for its killer waffles. Seriously, if you haven’t tried them yet, you must!
