Stratford Diner

Came here with my aunt. The food was good, the staff was friendly. I also liked the general mood where we sat, it was kind of quiet, but still nice.

The food tasted good and they came out quickly. The waitress was very nice!

Service was crazy slow and there were flies flying around our booth. It took us an hour to get eggs and bacon!! I could make that at home in ten min!! We got to the diner at 9:15 and were sat immediately. However our order wasn?t taken for at least 15 minutes, ~9:30. Then we didn?t get our food until 10:30!!! What?s even worse is that there were open tables everywhere so I know they weren?t busy. The overall service was so slow, I recall watching an older woman try and wave down a waitress. She waved for at least 60 seconds! I?ve eaten here once before and I don?t remember it being this bad, maybe covid brought down the staff size? No excuse tho, and the waitress apologizing doesn?t do anything about my time. The couple next to us asked for the check when they got their food. Im assuming they?ve had a similar experience. All this makes me worried about what?s going on in the kitchen. So I got eggs and bacon with toast and home fries. It was all fine I guess, hard to mess up, except the toast was soaked in butter. I couldn?t even eat it. Pretty disgusting. Then the worst part was actually paying. The cashier/host asked me how much I wanted to tip!!! Usually tips are given in confidence? or so I thought. I was generous and actually gave 12% tip, I really should?ve give 5% but it was awkward! I wont be returning here ever again. If I wanna waste my time I?ll go dig a hole in my backyard. Next time I?ll take breakfast at McDonald?s or something.

Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Get the Oreo pancakes!

Had dinner with my wife and mom-in-law, not impressed. The food was, to be charitable, pedestrian; edible, but not worth the price... like it was prepared by a complete novice. Waitress was polite, but undertrained. And the management didn't seem concerned .
