| - Diner Deluxe is one of those places that I enjoy every time I go, and then realize I don't go often enough. Tonight was one of those nights...While driving around Bridgeland trying to find a place to settle in while it was cold and snowy outside, we discovered Monday nights is a bad night for food in Bridgeland - everything was closed. Weird. So we ventured "up the hill" to visit DD as we haven't been in a number of months.
I am extremely glad we did - cause it was awesome! It was pretty quiet, but about 10 tables busy. We got seated right away by the cutest waitress in history (I'll come back to her), and quickly had our drink orders taken. I ordered a Grandville Island Beer monthly choice (which to my surprise was the Hefeweizen - my favorite), and my fellow diner had a raspberry milkshake, made from real ice cream that was so amazing my legs started to shake. Ok seriously, it was pretty amazing. I had the Buffalo burger with broccoli/potato soup which was really good. The burger had an amazing "relish" with outstanding caramelized onions and gooey cheese. The soup was homemade and fresh/tasty without being ridiculously thick and over creamy. Across the table was a Gouda French toast stuffed with ham (the bread was fluffy, the cheese gooey and the ham salty - perfect combo). So supper was clearly a delicious success.
Back to our waitress friend Chelsea B who made the night. Chelsea was likely the cutest person I have ever met. We thought she was similar to Barbie (the Mattel Barbie, in an adorable way). Orders were taken fast, drinks refilled, checkups done and every time she was adorably smiling, super attentive and looked like she loved serving people - a rarity sometimes when going out to eat. I have given the overall experience 4 stars, but I give Chelsea 6 stars.
As some take home notes: Their weekly specials (Mondays is pasta) looked intriguing. They have a taco night, a beer and burger night and a roast night. They also have a southern cooking night which I want to come back for. I didn't have it tonight (because I get it every time), but their Mac and Cheese is the best thing on the go. I've had it 20 times at least and every time I saw it getting served tonight, I wanted to stand up and grab it away to devour it myself. Highly recommended.
Diner Deluxe is a bit retro meets a bit hipster, but the food is great, atmosphere is relaxed and casual and the prices are pretty cheap for what you get. Get the Mac and Cheese.
