| - It's rare for me to place experience above food. When it comes to dining, the most important thing to me is what I put in my body. And the food here? It's a'ight. Solidly decent diner food. Omelets, pancakes (which are allegedly delicious), sandwiches, pies, eggs n' meat, etc. My Denver omelet was decent enough, with the size being the major plus. My turkey sausage links? Not so much.
But what really seems to fit the bill here is simply the authentic classic diner experience. This is an old school coffee shop/diner in the exact sense. You walk in and are greeted at a cash register, there are vinyl booths and a long counter with fixed swivel-stools (also covered in vinyl), and uniformed servers cutting pies, buttering toast and pouring drip coffee into classic white diner mugs. It's something I haven't seen in quite some time, and I like it.
I'm kind of on a weird diet right now so I didn't get a chance to try the much-lauded pancakes, but I saw quite a few come out and they looked great. So did the hashers (man I miss those). And everyone dining there (mostly at least 20+ years older than me) all looked like they were enjoying their ham-steak and eggs, pancakes, etc.
Pluses include classic diner service, atmosphere, and portions. Food quality hits about middle here. I've had a lot worse diner food. So if you're in the market for a solid greasy-spoon breakfast, lunch or dinner, this is your diner.
