| - If you're reading this on your mobile device, this review boils down to this: If I lived nearby, I would eat here once a week.
I was staying at the hotel next door and after having mexican food for the past three days, I was looking for some comfort food. I found the reviews on Yelp and seeing they served breakfast 24-7, I decided to walk on over.
I stopped in around 6:30 on a weekday evening and the place was pretty empty. I was seated at a booth and was immediately greeted by my server. Think Vera from "Mel's Diner." She was terrific.
One of the specials was a bowl of green chili with rice or beans for $9.99. I am a sucker for green chili whenever I'm out west. I explained to Vera that I wanted to eat a bunch and if I was eating pancakes, I didn't have room for rice or beans. She said it would be no problem just to get the chili by itself. To go with the chili, I ordered pancakes and sausage, as well as an order of hash browns.
If there was a downside to my visit, it was that service was slow. Like "we fresh cut the potatoes for your hash browns" slow. Which was not a big deal to me because I had nowhere to be, but would have been a problem if I had been in a hurry.
The chili was great. It had beef in it and I loved it. The pancakes were terrific. The sausage was familiar and average. The hash browns were okay, but would have been better if they had been well done. Next time, I'll ask for them that way.
For desert, I grabbed a slice of banana bread CAKE to go. Yes you read that right, banana bread CAKE. It was great. All their cakes are homemade and they also had lemon, chocolate, and strawberry cake. They also served pies, but they weren't made in-house, so I passed.
All in all, a great diner that I'd be happy to stop by the next time I'm in the area!!
