Description

Nestled in the heart of the neighborhood, this diner evokes mixed feelings among patrons. While some rave about its comforting, tasty menu and welcoming staff, others express disappointment over slow service and occasional food missteps. Diners appreciate the gluten-free options and heartwarming acts of kindness from the waitstaff, particularly during busy times. Conversely, several customers report frustrating delays and lackluster service, with food often arriving after other tables despite earlier orders. Overall, this establishment embraces its classic diner charm, yet continues to grapple with consistency in both service and dining experience. Choose wisely when planning your visit.

The food at this restaurant was tasty and affordable. It's a fantastic spot for a breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and coffee.

I would give this restaurant a lower rating if possible. We ordered food and witnessed two other groups of four receive their meals before us, even though they arrived after us (we were a party of two). The owner explained that our order had been lost and was being rushed. We understood, but were then disappointed to see two more groups of four receive their food, even though they arrived much later than us and ordered dishes that usually take longer to prepare than the simple omelette and sunny side up eggs we had ordered. We felt deceived by the owner, as when we left without being served, there was no indication that our food was being prepared.

Had the steak and eggs. Eggs were a perfect sunny side up. Steak was like eating a flip flop.

If you are looking for a classic diner, go to Dave's! I love a simple eggs, bacon, homefries, and toast for breakfast and Dave's never let's me down. Love the waitresses who have been there forever!! The food is very affordable and service is fast!
