“Food so-so...service very slow!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2012 NEW

Opted out of hotel "buffet" breakfast for this diner just down the road...might have been better off sticking with the hotel! Although the restaurant was less than half full, the service was incredibly slow. The food was almost edible, but certainly not worth going back again. My grandson and I like crisp bacon - and although I asked specifically for... More

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2012

My son loved his 12th bday dinner here! The food was delicious and there was plenty of it in the awesome retro atmosphere. Dessert was terrific too. This was our second time to eat here while visiting the area and my mom remembered it very favorably. Neat place to eat! More

Sorry to disappoint & lose that person but we don’t see how this report can be a real, honest customer in many ways. Examples, no breakfast price has changed in a year, most items once in 8 years if ever and PORTIONS have NEVER decreased! Check out FULL MENU at thediner.biz to see the truth. Two people can EACH have... More

Thank you for taking the time to write about you good experience. 99.9% of what we hear is very positive but so few will take the time you did. It's kind of like pastors in small churches, we never call them when things are going great so they see too high a % of the difficult things. Thank you again.... More

“Great little place, friendly, and out of the hustle and bustle!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2012

We visited The Diner for dinner last week and were thrilled to find a cozy place with delicious diner food and a friendly staff. We also loved that, unlike the restaurants on the Parkway, we were able to walk right in with our party of five and get a table. The restaurant was busy, but everyone was taken care of... More

“Delightful diner with excellent buffalo burger”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2012

We tried this diner for lunch and it was an excellent experience. Very clean inside and a pleasant decor. The 'oldies' music was not blaring and was set at a perfect volume. Thank you! We ordered the buffalo burger with a side of onion rings. The burger was authentic and cooked medium rare as we requested. Delicious. The onion rings... More
