| - Overall a very adorable and nostalgic experience down the cherry red booths and checkered floors, brings you right back to the olden days. I've been twice now, both times later in the evenings, (around 10 or 11pm.) Both times the place has been hopping, I was lucky enough to get one of the final seats in the place before a waiting line was established.
First time I ordered breakfast, just your standard eggs, bacon, hash browns and a pancake. On the menu it's called the "Hungry Diner." I asked for my hash towns extra crispy which they were, bacon was also the perfect blend of crispy and chewy, and they didn't skimp which was a plus. Overall way better than Denny's which has sadly been my go to for a lazy breakfast that I don't feel like cooking myself since I moved from Chicago...and away from my precious Delia's.
Second trip I decided to see if their dinner options were up to snuff, I ordered the open face roast beef with mashed potatoes. Roast beef was sliced thin and tender, gravy was a little gloppy and overly salty but it was still very homey, comfort food so I didn't mind all that much. My main complaint was the mashed potatoes, they tasted funny and I couldn't put my finger on what it was. Had the apple pie for dessert, filling was tart and delicious, crust was just ok.
Overall the service was fairly positive, they really seemed to be a little overwhelmed both times I went so you can't really fault them for not winning any attentive awards but my drinks were always kept full and I received my food in a timely manner so props for that.
Would definitely go back, and next time I'm eyeing the milkshakes!
