So I got to hit Diner Deluxe for breakfast finally. It has been on my list. A tough one to hit since I don't leave downtown often. The top of the hill in Bridgeland=the country haha.
Any way, I went during the week, late morning and got in right away with my good friend. We were sat at one of the community high tops. Community tables are always amazing. They add to the experience. The fault with these ones is they are so close together. I was on the end of the table and the guy next to me had a bladder the size of a peanut. Not great when you are barely awake and a little hungover.
That was quickly forgotten when the coffee showed up. Phil & Sebatians in random mismatching mugs! Love it. Nice touch. I tell you the details count. Any coffee would have been great in my state of being, but this was great. The food arrived and it was delicious. The egg yolks were that dark 'quality' colour and tasty. I had a breakfast with pulled pork and eggs. I can't remember the name so I just tried to find it on the website. Wow low quality, unlike the food. I wish I could tell you the name, but I can tell you it was delicious and had pulled pork. My friends dish was equally delicious. The atmosphere and room were that of a trendy diner with personality and the room was packed. Very cool. When the server was around she was very accommodating. She just wasn't around much. I watched her for a while and noticed that this was because she wasn't anticipating the needs of her tables. Again, once she was to the table she was kind, through and accommodating. It was silly things like not asking if someone wanted cream and sugar with their coffee, thus creating an extra trip to a table.
If the minor service issues, the space between the community tables and the online menu get fixed then Diner Deluxe is a solid 5 stars for breakfast. I need to do lunch and review that as well. Definitely going back to the 'country' to visit this gem.
