A weekend Tripadvisor reviewer reported having to wait at least 15 minutes for a table, describing the diner as busy with servers moving in a 'frantic' pace even as they praised the red-velvet and blueberry pancakes (Tripadvisor). That kind of weekend crunch tracks with the diner's reputation as a popular neighborhood breakfast stop rather than a quiet sit-down spot.
Outside of that specific reported wait, the diner otherwise functions as standard walk-in service with no dedicated queue system; the 15-minute wait appears tied to weekend brunch volume rather than a constant daily line (Tripadvisor).
