Easily one of the best Diner's in the area for breakfast.
The prices are reasonable, and they have the service down to a science, the waiters are friendly, they run the food out quickly, and they check on you often. Dinner is not the best choice here, I got the Pork Souvlaki, and considering it is a Greek Diner, it wasnt that good.
The food is good, but I am compelled to post a warning. If you have food allergies, you may have to think twice about visiting, especially if you're ordering takeout.
Specifically, cautiously, kindly and repeatedly requesting for a certain item that you are very allergic to not to be included – does not suffice, because somehow it will still be in your food order. Also, this place is the only dining establishment that punishes you for not taking up more of their time, because when you order takeout the portions are MUCH smaller than they are when you dine in house. The issue is they still charge you the same – although the portions differ.
Approach at your own risk.
Might I add, when you dine in house, the servers and busboys are extremely nice and professional!
As diners go, I think this place has a great lunch deal.
For $9.99 you get soup, choice of about 12 items and a drink. I usually get a chicken salad sandwich which is huge, and after that cup of soup is more than enough to fill you up- plus they also toss out the obilgatory cole slaw and pickle – I dare you to finish it all!
Never been in here for breakfast though as it is not near my house- service is great at lunch. Big parking lot.
I firmly believe that there are hits and misses at every restaurant and dining establishment. In this case, I think I had one of these instances. It breaks my heart not to give diner food a better rating, but it is what it is for this particular time.
The coleslaw that was given to us was good, so I had high hopes that this would be a great dining fair experience…
We came here for dinner and ordered the fried calamari appetizer. First wrong choice. The batter of the fried calamari was completely unseasoned. I never put salt on my food and I had too in this case. The marinara dipping sauce wasn't bad, but, how can you not season the flour? Seems like an elementary mistake.
I ordered the buffalo burger as my entree, and the buffalo burger is not what I got. When the server brought it to my table he kept calling it the 'deluxe' burger and I didn't claim it as mine until every one else had their dishes. There was not one shred of evidence that this burger had anything to do with buffalo seasoning/sauce. The burger was a plain burger with onion rings on top and tomato and lettuce on the side. No buffalo sauce or anything. I'm too shy to send back food so I stuck with it, just adding a ton of ketchup to compensate for the dry burger.
One redeeming quality was the fact that I had subbed our regular fries for waffle fries. And their waffle fries were fantastic. In such, if you could imagine a perfect waffle fry and what it would be like, that's what these were.
On the upside, my dining guests, my sister and her boyfriend both enjoyed their meals.
I don't think I will come here for a long time in fear of choosing and receiving the wrong food.
Nice looking diner. Place was empty when we came. They were closing at midnight but weren't rude about us eating right before they closed.
Tried the baked clam shells, the calamari, and waffle fries. All were good.
Topped it off with a banana split sundae. Yummy.
