Patrons with a trucker hat, moustache, and thick longsleeve plaid shirt? Nope, not at this diner. Why not?
Oooh! A "delux" version of 5 & Diner? Yes, it's called 5 & Diner Delux and there's only two of them in the country, according to their website. I inquired about the difference and my server said she said that they prep their own food. Hmmm... makes me not want to eat at the other 5 & Diner locations now!
This location is on Bell Road on the north side in the relatively new strip mall development on a corner. It's more spacious than most 5 & Diners, and the patrons are much different as well, in both appearance and age. Staff was mostly teenage kids who provide minimal service, some with face piercings and some without. Not sure why those in charge of hiring would find this ideal for a customer base of retired folks.
Pancakes were moist and light, and their syrup had a good maple flavor. Hashbrowns were golden brown but on the oily side. Prices reasonable. Parking is ample.
