Glendale Diner is the old school tri-state diner that you visit in your dreams. With quarter jukebox machines at every table, and a waitress that's probably been in the business for years, dining here makes me feel like I'm in the cast of Goodfellas (that's a compliment).
The diner has your standard counter and booth seating. We sat down and thumbed through the laminated menus. Standard diner fare: breakfast foods, burgers, wraps, seafood, dinner, etc. Prices are typical, though I was expecting it to be a bit cheaper since we were in Glendale. I got the corned beef hash breakfast, and Rus got mozz sticks and the New York burger.
We were quickly served our coffee and coleslaw and a delicious crunchy pickle. Water came out soon thereafter, as did the mozz sticks. These things were obviously frozen, but still pretty good.
The New York burger was really impressive, with what looked like at least six strips of bacon on it. If I had been in the mood for a burger, I probably would have stolen it from Rus' plate. The corned beef hash seemed to be of the canned variety, but it was cooked just right, left to brown on the stovetop, served up with home fries, sunny-side up eggs and toast. A very big meal for less than $8.
The diner was pretty empty on a mid-Saturday afternoon, so the staff kept offering coffee and water refills long after we had finished enjoying our meal. Definitely no rush to leave, which I always appreciate.
I was also pretty impressed that they're open 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays, unlike any other establishment in this area. So if you're looking for some decent late night diner eats, Glendale Diner seems to be your best bet!
I only had coffee and fruit. The coffee was pretty good and the fruit was pretty nasty. I came here late with a friend and did not see anything special on the menu.
He had tea and when he asked for another bag the lady questioned him like it was absurd, it was weird.
There was also a huge inconvenient bar under the table which drove me crazy because I am 5'6" and I could not stretch out my leg. Annoying.
Waitress was amazing. Best service ever. I saw three mice (during the day!) I reported it and the manager did not come over to apologize or give us a complimentary meal until I had to request it from the waitress. The manager was mortified (understandably). He did the right thing but I shouldn't have had to be so aggressive about it.
Eric and I came here for a very late dinner and it was a nice old school diner. I had a meatloaf sandwich which was quite good…I do prefer it when meatloaf has the sweet ketchupy glaze on top but this was nicely spiced and had a good kick of garlic.
Eric got a souvlaki platter that was huge and delicious. It came with fries, salad, pita and tzatziki. To be honest, we probably could have shared it and both been full.
Service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be returning!
Been going here for years but now I can officially say this place is an absolute dump. Never again!!
