Being from NY I was exited to find a diner in the area. Went during lunch on a weekday.
Location: was super difficult to get to coming from the south with traffic. And parking was almost so impossible, I almost gave up. Tight spaces, not many of them and lots of potholes. Finally grabbed a spot as someone was leaving.
Inside was very mom and pop which I actually prefer. They have a small patio it decided to stay in due to the loud traffic. They have a wall up counter where u order and pay. Was debating a burger but ended up ordering chicken tenders with fries and a water, paid the $10 and grabbed a booth. Was pretty busy. Lots of pick up orders. Most tables were full. Staff behind the counter was pretty friendly and helpful.
Took 22 mins to get my order. And sad to say that the food was pretty disappointing. Chicken was dry and flavorless. Fries weren't my favorite. BBQ sauce and ketchup were very basic. I actually didn't want to finish the meal nor take it with me. And tenders are usually my safe food when I go to a new quickie joint.
Overall I most likely won't go back based on this experience. The food doesn't come close to making fighting the traffic worth it. And for $10 and I can much better quality food at a dozen places close by. Both the food and condiments were obviously the cheapest they could get, but priced for higher quality food.
So still on the search for a NY style diner.
