I don't know what people expect from a "diner". I took my parents there this week and both of them loved it. This is not some "health food" place for the Birkenstock crowd. This is traditional diner fare. Greasy yes, and good. My Father had the omelet with the hash browns and he loved it. He even commented on how good the hashies were due to the fact they were slathered in butter/fat. My mother had the pancakes and she loved them too. They have corn meal in them which might not appeal to a "traditionalist", but they were very good nonetheless. I had the Belgian waffle and it was very good too.
The coffee was typical diner fare as well. I would not call it drek as I am a coffee snob and roast green beans at home. The coffee was what I expected from a diner. We went at 8AM on a Tuesday and walked right in. The staff was friendly and prompt.
I would go again with no problem.
