| - This old school diner provides decent food at an affordable price. First time here was over a decade ago and it was for breakfast. I decided to try some lunch. They don't have a website so it was a game time decision when it came to ordering. Walking into Dick's is sort of like walking back in time. The place is old and it doesn't try to hide that. However, it's clean and the server was very nice. They have a page in their menu for specials. I don't know if these are rotating specials, daily or weekly specials, or lunch specials. Can't say for sure.
Noted in the specials were many "classic" diner dishes. Meatloaf, turkey sandwich and gravy, ham and potatoes, roast beef and gravy, just to name a few. Also located on this special's menu was a "lighter" section, listing a piece of grilled chicken on a bed of dirty rice, served with a roll and a side. I opted for a side salad as my side, and tossed the roll aside as I had no interest. The salad was standard. Nothing stood out. The dirty rice was cooked nicely as was the decent portion of grilled chicken strips that lay on top. They were warm and nothing tasted dry though it was a little under seasoned. It was a nice healthier meal option than say a stack of meatloaf covered in gravy, so kudos to them for having some wholesome options.
Top it off the prices are affordable and in line with what other places would charge for comparable items and portions.
