The address puts the restaurant on N Florida Ave, which suits a quick breakfast stop or a meal that stretches longer.

A place that stays open this long has to serve different kinds of visits in the same dining room. Some guests want an early plate and are back on the road fast. Others stay for a slower meal and finish with pie. The address on N Florida Ave keeps that choice simple, because the stop begins with the road, then moves straight to the table.
