Oh this place.
This is the greasy spoon that is sooo convenient it is worthwhile. Would I travel more than 3 blocks for this place, probably not.
Would I ride an elevator down and run over across the street in the middle of winter - without a coat - for it. Of course.
I've done every combination of their salads - all solid choices. And they are pretty flexible regarding adding/avoiding - so go ahead ask. (BUT - if they really wanted my opinion, I could write a dissertation on what they could do to improve their salad choices)
When I'm having a horrible day at work and I can't stand the idea of a salad. Their hamburgers are top notch. They will frequently remind you that they won an award (ps none of the waitresses know which award). But no joke - solid, straight up excellent burger and fries. None of the glitz of every new burger place that has rolled into town - but really...This is a GOOD burger.
The decor...well it borders on the bad, but in the right light (dim) it's fine. It's a diner.
Wait staff is a surly bunch of no nonsense ladies, with an accuracy rating of about 85%, but I like them. They mean well and they keep my glass of diet coke filled to the brim.
