The Belmont Diner is a great place to get brunch while experiencing a real blast from the past.
Want to sit at the bar and watch your food get made? That kind of experience has disappeared from the more modern approach and I think that's unfortunate. It is a fun way to get your day rolling when you see the talented and experienced cooks preparing many multiple meals at the same time without any issue. The food when you get it is also delicious. I understand the benedict is one of the most popular items on the menu but I opted for the pancakes instead. I was not disappointed.
Are you convinced? You want to go checkout the Diner now? Well you should probably only bring one friend if you want to get in there without too much of a wait. This place is very popular so expect the possibility of waiting outside on benches with free coffee. I would assume it would be less busy in the morning but I have never tried going earlier in the day.
I will definitely be back and I cannot wait to try one of those milkshakes.
