I find it to be such a shame that this is a really nice looking diner but unfortunately what they serve me is just very disappointing. I don't know who the cooks are in the back but you should always taste the food that you are serving. I ordered the homemade Bella's meatloaf dinner because it is something that is filling. I got home to eat the meatloaf with the brown gravy and mashed potatoes and unfortunately I would say this was such a waste of money because the meatloaf was not consumable at the fact that it was extremely salty. And I'm talking about very salty, I couldn't even eat it because

Very poor public relations skills. I arrived a bit later than my friend, we ordered from the early specials menu, they brought our appetizer, then they told us the computer wouldn't take the order because it was too late. If it was too late, why did the waitress take the order? Manager should have been more flexible. I WILL NEVER GO BACK.

This place should not be called a diner. They close at 10. I’ve never heard of such a thing. The old owners had it open 24/7. Other than that the food is decent but stick to the basic diner food, don’t order any special meats or entrees. But then again anyone who isn’t a novice would know better

Had a group of 9 and we were seated right away our waiter was very attentive and drinks and food came out quickly. The food was very good with large portions almost all of us brought home left overs! We were with friends who we had not seen in a while since they moved and we talked for a long time after our bill came, we never felt like they wanted us to leave or that we were being pushed out the door. Second time eating there today first time was also with a large group. A little pricey but worth it .

Service is quick and they accommodate food allergies, no questions asked.
They are quick on the turnaround between customers, tables cleaned and rug vacuumed.
Food is great. They have lunch and dinner specials which include...soda, soup, entree and desert.

This diner really has anything you could possibly want. The interior looks really modern and nice. Our waiter was quick to come around and kept up with us frequently. The food all came out fresh, hot, and great! Pictured are the stuffed mushrooms, the knight sandwich and the New Yorker. Both were really good! The waffle fries were the better of the two in my opinion. I would definitely return when I'm back in the area!

I was skeptical after this place opened after Versailles diner but after giving it a try, I was amazed at the quality of food and the exceptional service. I now eat here a minimum of once a week. Definitely try the pancakes and waffles. You will not be disappointed!
