“Decent Diner”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2012

We ate breakfast here and it was a typical diner. My pancakes were ok; good enough but a little greasy. Another in our party had the greek hobo omelet which they liked except the lettuce in it- so if you get that I would recommend having them leave it out. The others had various egg dishes which were fine. Nothing... More

“One of the few exceptions to my rule”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

If you read my review of the Spaghetti Warehouse, you found out that I'll try anything twice--anyone can have an off day. This place is one of the few exceptions to my rule! We had heard about how incredible this place was and it was filthy, loud and the food was just plain bad. Is it even still open? I... More

“One of the great greasy spoons between Ann Arbor and Allentown....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

You GOTTA try: 1) their fried green tomatoes, available any time (as are the fried zukes); 2) the buckwheat pancakes, ditto; and, 3) their bargain-priced chocolate ice cream soda (maybe not all three dishes at one time!?!).... More

“old fashioned diner”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

The food is great, the prices very reasonable and the servers very cordial and friendly. This is cash only and they have an atm should you not know that. Place is busy in the mornings and slow in the evenings. They have the old fashioned table juke boxes that are fun for 50cents. Really a layback, good eating place. If... More

Time seems to stop when you enter Ritter's Diner...the menu is full of the exact stuff that you wish to find in a diner.Friendly and efficient wait staff, family members still cooking in the kitchen, counters and tables to provide the feel of old time resturants, This is what breakfast lunch and dinner should be! I especially endorse their famous... More
