More a restaurant than a diner.
Restaurant is comfortable and clean. Servers are friendly and efficient. Food is much more in line with a restaurant, than an inexpensive diner.
Big View is marketed as a New York Diner, and, as a former New Yorker, I can attest it meets that mark - especially at the way in which they price their offerings. I think it's a little too pricey, when compared to their southern counterparts.
If you visit, you must try one of their spectacular desserts...especially the cheesecake.
