I'd give The Diner on Clifton 6 stars if I could. This is the nicest diner I have ever eaten at! Luckily I only live a 5 minute walk from the diner and find myself having breakfast or lunch here a few times a month.
Traditional diner food but unique and subtly upscale. Everything I've ordered has been delicious! I've noticed that when I've ordered the same thing more than once, it has been consistently prepared the same way.
The waitresses are phenomenal, the food is delicious, (and served FAST if you're in a rush to get back to work after your lunch hour) and the space is bright yet cozy.
Come in on Sunday and have a slice of one of their fantastic cakes in the display case - Or order my favorite - sourdough onion rings! Yum!
