5th Street Diner

If you're in the Reading area and the diner you're at serves chipped beef on toast, you know it's…read morethe real deal. Although my partner claims to make a better at home, she still enjoyed her post-ultramarathon meal. The kids ordered dipping french toast sticks with a chocolate sauce, strawberry pancakes that looked like an ice cream sundae and regular french toast, all of which they enjoyed very much. Only one kid finished their meal. The Florentine omelet I ordered was done nicely, and the home fries were definitely filling. Our server was friendly, quick and attentive, making sure our coffee mugs were sufficiently warm, which is always appreciated. There also seemed to be a salad bar, which we didn't visit, and otherwise it was a standard diner atmosphere.

We didn't order anything too complicated, just waffles, french toast, eggs, sausage, oatmeal, and hash browns, all of which I could successfully make in my own dorm room :). When the food arrived, it was all cold, the sausage, the eggs, the hash browns, everything. The oatmeal that claimed to be brown sugar was straight bland, just like the rest of the food. The total came out to $45 which is fine if the food was good but that felt like a straight waste of money. Regardless of this horrible, what I would rate 0 if I could, restaurant, our server was kind.

The grilled cheese had an off flavor of old oil on a dirty grill. The tater tots were decent with lots of orange liquid cheese sauce, but still had the old oil taste. The chicken and cheese quesadillas were bland, and the wife didn't even finish one. Not much else to review on this tiny, hole in the wall. Not sure how they got a 4.7 average score!

It is the reason you will find many seniors dining there. This is where the positives end! The problem is excessive use of "SALT", everything is very over salted. Ironic; because the last thing we seniors need is excessive salt in our diet. The food has potential but, it is so heavily salted: all you can taste is salt, even the salads are oversalted.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to go to Jimbo's for lunch. I just wanted to get out since I had…read morebeen working all morning and I wanted a break. So I drove over for lunch. Jimbo's fare is pretty standard for a cheesesteak place. They had the usual steak sandwiches and I wanted a really good cheesesteak. I was pleasantly surprised with the meal at Jimbo's. I ordered a cheesesteak (big surprise there), and onion rings (love onion rings) and a coke. The place was decorated in an interesting style. There were many tables lined up along the side walls of the restaurant and the center aisle made from the tables on each side was clear. The place was not crowded. It was about 2PM so it was after the lunch hour and it was also during the week. The place was made up like a 50's diner in red and white with statues of various celebrities (the Blues Brothers, and former President Trump) if you like this addition to the ambience. I don't really remember any music playing. It didn't matter anyway. The cheesesteak was very good, the roll was fresh, Anthony steak tasted like a South Philadephia cheesesteak steak. I the onion rings were crispy and hot and delicious. I definitely would order both again. Service was also great. The order was taken and the food came very fast. The cheesesteak was far too large to eat in one sitting so I took what remained home. I would certainly choose Jimbo's on a list of local eateries to try!! Four stars because it was very good -- nothing really to complain about at all, and good food.
