| - I'm curious who is writing these positive reviews and if they are truly real people. It certainly wasn't anyone that was in the diner today.
First off, we had to wait a considerable amount of time just to place our order even though the place wasn't full. Why? Because they were busy fixing "a complete f**k up" (as it was phrased) at another table. Wrong orders, wrong prices, wrong drinks, wrong everything. We probably should have walked out right there, but we didn't complain. Just enjoyed our coffee and waited, thinking maybe that table was just being difficult.
Anyway, we finally place our order and about 10 minutes later, they bring out my wife's plate (eggs benedict kinda thing). She waits for me to get my plate. And waits. And waits. And waits. Finally, I tell her to just go ahead and eat.
She cuts into the first egg, and instead of the yolk running all over everything like it's supposed to, it's solid as a rock. She sort of eats around and it, and just as my food finally comes out (about ten minutes after hers), she finds a short and curly hair underneath it all. She almost pukes right there, and now I'm reluctant to eat my food. She throws her napkin on it and says she was full anyway, and for me to go ahead and eat.
I got the #13 - two eggs, toast, country fried steak and home fries. The eggs and toast were good. Everything else was awful. The steak may have well just been bread crumbs. There was quite literally no meat to be eaten, and the breading was so tasteless that I just dumped it on to my wife's plate to get it out of the way. The homefries were a soggy mess. No crisp. No crunch. And, no taste.
We just said screw it and were ready to complain when another table threw a fit about their food - wrong order, forgotten sides, etc. And then the table behind us also found a hair in their food. Both our table and theirs told the waitress and the response was - "hm sorry."
I see a few people screaming "it's a diner, not a restaurant." I get that, and I'm all for that. But consistently screwing up orders, having tasteless food, and hair in multiple plates at one time? That's beyond any "it's a diner" claim. It's disgusting.
My only solace on my wasted morning is that I hope people read this and avoid the same fate.
