I'll be honest - the interior is dirtier than it looks in the pictures. Though I see a dedicated staff cleaning after people's tables, no amount of wiping will make this dated, grimy diner clean enough. The tables and chairs feel sticky to the touch, the wooden chairs look like antiques, the overhead lights have dust/bugs all over, the list is endless. Also, as I walked in today the place was very smoky to a almost hazardous amount, though i see that this is not mentioned in the other reviews. This could be a one-off incident but I genuinely worry about the staffs' health if they work in the same smoky environment every day.
For all the reasons listed above, the prices here are cheap for what it is - a 16oz steak dinner special at $17.99 including a side of salad/fries. (This seems to differ from previous reviews that it's supposed to be $14.99 which would have been an even better deal) Your pick up your food on a cafeteria tray. We ordered medium rare and worried slightly that we might get sick. In the end, quality for everything is passable - steak was fairly juicy and the fries were better than expected.
For 2 people sharing a meal, we ended up paying about $25 with a drink. This is pretty cheap, but only slightly cheaper than an actual restaurant with cleaner tables and actual service. It's definitely convenient that it's open 24hr.
