The food was fine. Not awful, not that delicious. Service was fine. Our food came out quickly, the server girl was prompt, but not too friendly. The atmosphere was, of course, like a diner.
Our pie was not good. Sign after sign -- on the front door, on the menus, on the "seasonal pie" flier on every table -- talked about how Hubbard Avenue Diner is "famous for pie."
We split the raspberries & cream slice of pie from the seasonal menu. It was made with a creamy, fluffy filling (think banana cream pie) as opposed to raspberry chunks like a traditional fruit pie.
I couldn't find the crust. Well, I found a little -- it was a strange, flaky texture (almost phyllo dough-like) and very thin. The topping on the pie was, I believe, supposed to be a cream cheese topping, like cheesecake-y. The baker, though, must have forgotten to add any sugar when mixing the topping. It was a nice mouthful of cream cheese. Just straight cream cheese.
"Famous for pie"? Why?
