| - Feeling hungry after a show at The Hoxton, we ventured to the nearby Thompson Diner, which is open 24 hours.
I liked the vibe of the place, and the service was good. Our server was somehow seemingly on fast forward, especially considering it was 1 am. I'm talking extra extra cheerful and energetic.
We ordered burgers and a spiked milkshake to share (Guinness). The shake was awesome. After quite a long wait, the burgers my friends got (beef) were apparently some of the worst/driest they've ever had, and had to be slathered in ketchup and mayo.
I ordered the turkey burger with Swiss and mushrooms wrapped in lettuce just to be different, and we agreed that it was the best option, although the mushrooms were undetectable.
The sweet potato fries were served cold, and clearly from a package. The little side salads were served with an inexplicably large amount of vinaigrette on the side, which was much too overpowering in my opinion.
I would have given this place 2 stars based on the burgers, but due to the hyper-professional service and that killer milkshake, it deserves three.
And hey, it's way better than Fran's!
