| - I personally don't really understand why so many people like to hate on this place so much. Sure the food isn't the best quality, but in my opinion American diner food is not usually worth raving about to begin with. Add this to the fact that most such places serve you oversized portions with higher prices than ENP, and I find ENP to be a much more solid choice, especially in a city where everything is closed by 10pm.
That said, ENP is a good (read: ONLY) place to go when it's late at night and you're starving at home with no food in your fridge. They have a midnight menu which is pretty extensive, including comfort food appetizers, brunch omelettes and toast, burgers, salads, and a few dinner items. Mostly quite decent. I especially like the fact that portions are not plus-sized, with prices scaled proportionally. In addition, you have a choice of sides for most things.
Service is okay. For late night when there are fewer people, the servers are usually more attentive. Wait times for food can vary, which is a mystery as it was never crowded when we came here.
Have never tried their famous smiley cookies, but I have tried their pies and I can say that they're delightful.
