I respectfully disagree with my fellow Avenue Diner reviewer. The Avenue Diner has been in business for over fifty years, and while it's a little rough around the edges, it's definitely worth at least 2.5 stars.
I live very close by and stop in a few times a year and have always enjoyed the lunch lady and her son. It's a neighbourhood joint that makes people feel at home every time.
The pros: AMAZING home fries, classic glass Coke Bottles and savoury homemade soup.
The Cons: a bit pricey, runny eggs and small portions.
In my opinion, the Pros definitely outweigh the Cons. Give it a shot- if it's lasted half a century, it can't be THAT bad right?
PS- Fellow Yelpers: Be careful with the 1-Star reviews. In order for Yelp Newbies to trust our opinions, I believe it's important to save the 1-Star and 5-Star reviews for extreme cases, good or bad. Otherwise, it makes the site kinda unrelieable I believe.
PPS- Yelp needs to start offering .5 review options. I would've given The Avenue Diner a 2.5-Star review as an example..
