The Man, The Myth, The Boss

While he’s the Uncle who has been in the biz the longest, Uncle D has recently been promoted to Grandpa, and he’s damn proud of it!

For the diner, he’s the one that keeps everyone in line—whether it’s the kitchen crew, the regulars, or the coffee pot that somehow always needs refilling. Growing up as a farm kid in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, Uncle Daryll learned early on that a good meal and a strong cup of coffee can make or break your day. That’s why he’s dedicated to serving up hearty breakfasts, hot coffee, and just enough bad dad jokes to make you roll your eyes before your first bite.

Ask him how he takes his eggs, and he’ll tell you “without complaint.” Mention how good the coffee is, and you’ll probably hear, “Well, I didn’t brew it myself, but I bean thinking about it.” And if you don’t finish your pancakes? “You butter do better next time.”

With a firm handshake, a watchful eye, and a love for a well-cooked plate of bacon, Uncle Daryll makes sure everyone at Uncles' Diner feels like family—whether you’re a first-timer or a daily fixture at the counter. Just be prepared to laugh (or at least roll your eyes) while you eat!

Uncle Al has been doing this whole “uncle” thing since the ripe age of two, so don’t think you can pull a fast one on this guy. He’s behind the scenes keeping the gears turning, the griddles hot, and the coffee flowing. While you might not always see him, trust us, you’d notice if he wasn’t around.

Did we mention his guts? Literally. When he’s not making sure the diner runs smoothly, Uncle Al is out perfecting his frisbee game—some say he’s got the best throw in town. He knows how to have a good time, whether it's on the field or kicking back with friends after a long day.

At the end of the day, Uncle Al keeps the chaos controlled, the kitchen stocked, and the good times rolling—because what’s the point of breakfast if you’re not having a little fun?

The youngest of the crew, Blake joined the Uncle Club in 2020. He is the life of the diner—if there’s a conversation happening, he’s probably at the center of it. With social skills as strong as his coffee game, he’s the guy who can talk to anyone, whether it’s a first-time visitor or a regular who’s been coming in for years. But don’t let the charm fool you—he’s one of the hardest workers around, always hustling to keep things running smoothly.

When he’s not keeping customers entertained, you might catch him playing jukebox jockey around town and showing off some truly questionable dance moves. And for all those wondering—yes, he’s single. So if you’re looking for a guy who can serve up a great breakfast and a terrible two-step, Uncle Blake might just be your guy.
