Reviews - Polar King
Reviews summary
A beloved retro diner next to arcade games serves hearty, well-priced breakfasts—fresh OJ, excellent coffee, pancakes, corned beef hash and country-fried steak—delivered by warm, attentive staff and a loyal local crowd. The nostalgic, inviting atmosphere and quick service make it ideal for families and regulars. Notable issues include torn seating, occasional flies and poor restroom cleanliness, plus isolated reports of rude behavior, which temper an otherwise charming neighborhood experience.

What Harvin “Brock” Brockington dislikes about Polar King:
It's a casual spot primarily known for its arcade games. However, the service was disappointing; the Asian lady working there was quite disrespectful to my female friend. If I had known this beforehand, I wouldn't have placed an order. View all feedback.

A big plus, they have counter seating, and Leave it to Beaver non stop. Can't beat that! Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Dinner
Good food and good company. Mostly regulars from years gone by. Comfy and home like atmosphere. Under new management with new tables, decorations, etc. But still that ol Polar King that I grew up knowing for the last 52 years now. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I had a wonderful time hanging out with the older crowd while watching Team USA win gold at the Olympics, and witnessing Italy secure silver for the first time in 96 years! After gymnastics, when it was time for the swimmers, the hostess asked one of the patrons if they would prefer to watch the news instead. There was silence from everyone. When I left, the swimmers were still playing on the big screen. I ordered country fried steak with hash browns and a pancake. It was a hefty breakfast, so delicious that I completely forgot to take photos until I was nearly halfway through my meal. Everything was great! The country fried steak could have been a bit more tender, but it was still tasty until the very last bite. The coffee was also excellent and was continuously refilled until I was ready to leave. I'm really glad I chose to spend my time and money here. It was a lovely experience, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it too!

I found a spot at the counter and ordered a cheeseburger, with tater tots for an additional $2, along with a large soda. My total came in under $18, which felt reasonable. After placing my order, my meal arrived in about 5 to 8 minutes. The cheeseburger was generous in size, and the lettuce, tomato, and onion were all fresh. After inspecting the burger, I realized that, given its size, I probably could have forgone the tater tots. While I might be tempted to try a double patty burger on my next visit, I know I'd probably regret it later. Overall, I encourage you to check this place out. It may not be a haven for food snobs, but it’s clear they know how to serve a good meal, which explains their longevity in the business.
This is a charming, old-fashioned dining venue. It has a great atmosphere, and the morning waitress is very friendly. The prices are reasonable, and the food is quite good.
The restaurant had flies, and the bathroom was in such poor condition that my 4-year-old daughter commented on how disgusting it was. The overall state of the place was also quite run-down. I wouldn't recommend it.

This delightful retro diner has a warm and inviting ambiance, thanks to its loyal customers. While it wasn't overcrowded, the waitress was consistently on her feet, attending to a steady stream of diners, with someone ready to take over a recently vacated table at all times. I was seated right away. I sampled their homemade corned beef hash, which was absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and efficient, though a little patience was sometimes necessary. I appreciated how quickly they brought out the coffee, allowing me to relax and enjoy my visit while I waited.
I hadn’t visited this restaurant in years, but when I finally returned, I was not disappointed at all. The breakfast was fantastic, and our server, Tracy, was truly exceptional. It was wonderful to see her interact with each guest with such a positive attitude—it made me eager to come back. Great job, Tracy! I give it a 10/10.
For such a small establishment, it really exceeded my expectations! I was pleasantly surprised since I'd never dined there before. My daughter Mary and granddaughters brought my wife and me for breakfast, and we were impressed. The service was wonderful, and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend it to everyone—give it a try!
The restaurant may be small, but the food is incredible. They serve generous portions at an excellent price.
The food was fantastic, and the service was excellent. It had a charming small-town atmosphere.
