I had heard great things about Diner Deluxe and could not wait to give it a try for Sunday brunch. I am not a usual brunch-goer and kind of dreaded the line up but I would not change a thing about having to put my name on a list and waiting about 40 minutes on this beautiful, busy Sunday at 1pm. There is a bakery connected right next door - I LOVE bakeries so that kept me busy as did the complimentary coffee at the door. There were samples of the fresh bread that warmed my soul. YUM! Of course we bought some on the spot (Apple Rosemary Sourdough) as well as a scone, banana bread etc. LOL! So, we were finally seated in what looked like it could be your grandma's kitchen. Loud, warm, homey and welcoming with aluminum tables and mismatched mugs! CLEAN despite the crowd! The service could not have been friendlier. Patience was our waitress' virtue as we had not been there before and had a couple of questions. NOT a place for you if you have a hangover headache, as it is PACKED and the tables are close together but fortunately I felt pretty good this day! More to do with the fact that those days are over for me!!! I went simple with 2 fried egg whites and fabulous multigrain toast that tasted homemade - and the preserves! WOW! Also made in-house and not for sale normally I was told. I really liked the smaller sized hash browns mixed with green onion, seasoned and cooked to perfection. My friend had eggs benedict which she gave a 9 out of 10 (she was not over the moon for the hollandaise sauce but she likes her own that she makes so that could have something to do with it....) The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that we had to wait over an hour for our food. We had a ball talking the afternoon away but we were starving!!!! I got take-out for my husband which was a chicken sandwich with avocado, potato wedges and pickles. He adored it and thought the chicken breast was ample and worth every penny! I KNOW I will be back to this establishment (not to mention the bakery) - and I cannot wait!
