| - We had a quick group work lunch at Big View Diner, and it was the first for all five of us. The restaurant, belying its name, is a big, spacious, airy diner, with a nice buildout and great relaxed feel (nothing loud or harried about it, although it was fairly empty at lunchtime).
The restaurant is very clean, it has a nice bar area and big encased dessert display. Service was very friendly. We split two apps of falafel, which came out like twohuge crab cakes, surrounded by pepper sauce, taziki, salad and pillowy wedges of warm pita bread (very tasty). We all enjoyed the falafel.
The menu is quite diverse and a little perplexing, ranging from Greek and Middle Eastern, salads, sandwiches, pastas, to traditional American breakfasts and southern favorites like chicken 'n waffles and pork chops with stuffing. The "pick two" selections looked hearty and generous (whole toasted sandwiches or salads served with big bowls of soup). I opted for a chicken souvlaki wrap - it was big, tasty and fresh; the chicken was tender and juicy if rather underseasoned.
Very good place to stop for lunch, at reasonable prices.
