| - A birthday meal is a birthday meal, whether you buy it for yourself or not. I recently celebrated a birthday and didn't want to impose myself on others, so I took it upon myself to find a nearby place while out shopping and with a quick look at a Yelp map came across this place. I love a diner and when I saw that it the moniker I had to come here.
I arrived at a busy time, but that didn't impact my service at all. When I walked in I was about to be sat at a booth or table before I said I would be fine sitting at the counter. I appreciated the concern for my comfort, but I wanted to see how well this place was run. And it was run like a well oiled machine.
While looking at the menu I was greeted by a smile and a glass of water. I asked for a few minutes to look over the menu and was left to be for a few minutes. While looking over the menu you notice that they take the diner menu and go upscale with it, I'll touch on that a bit later. After skimming descriptions of items on the menu I found what I was looking for. My go to for a diner, meatloaf. I can't tell you why it's always meatloaf at a diner for me, but it always is. Whether it's a meatloaf sandwich or just a pile of sliced meatloaf, to me that is a diner style meal. This meatloaf was to come with mushroom gravy, a side and either soup or salad. I had asked to keep the mushrooms off the plate, opted for a side of mashed potatoes with gravy, and a house salad with ranch dressing.
The salad was a nice blend of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. No need to ask for extra dressing here as they give you a generous portion. No sooner did I finish the salad than my main course showed up. With being in the diner mind set, I was thinking a portion that would make it a quick eat, was I ever wrong. Three big pieces of meatloaf covered in gravy, without mushrooms, and a side of mashed potatoes. The meatloaf was fall apart goodness. Each bite was amazing and no spice used was overpowering. What I enjoyed most was that they used whole cloves of garlic in the meatloaf. I pitied any person I was came in contact with after this meal just because of the amount of garlic i devoured. The side of mashed potatoes were amazing as well. Light and fluffy with the right amount of lumps in them.
You would think that after I devoured all that, I wouldn't be able to fit any more in my belly, but I dared to go for dessert. Why not treat myself? I went with the cheesecake, simple yet just sweet enough for me. Sprinkled with powdered sugar and a few dabs of whipped cream. The cheesecake was light and melted in my mouth. Now, when I tell you I was stuffed when I left here, I mean I was over the brim stuffed. All I wanted to do was lay down and take a nap after this meal.
The staff were amazing and like I said this place ran like a well oiled machine. From the front of the house to the kitchen. Servers were well versed in all things this restaurant offered and always there when you needed them. The kitchen staff were on point and did not mess a single thing up. The kitchen manager was shouting out orders to keep everyone on track. They even came out to chat with the regular customers.
A great establishment to dine at, definitely going to be coming back here.
