    CANNED!!! DOG FOOD!!!!

    RUN FAR AND DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING!!! I ordered their "SLANGIN HOMEMADE CORNED BEEF HASH AND EGGS, and there is nothing homemade about CANNED corned beef hash. It is disgusting and the manager is a JOKE. She said "thats what we offer" and hung up on me and then refused to answer any of my calls.

    EXT. DINER -- MORNING
    Bo S.

    http://xonuts.com/index.php/2018/04/26/brooks-landing-diner/ The best-laid schemes o' mice and men gang aft a-gley, or some other idiom indicating futility. Idk. Whatever floats your boat. We tried going to [REDACTED] but called and knocked unsuccessfully! The four droogs made up our rassoodocks to go to Brooks Landing Diner, where Dave and Bo had gone once before as a backup plan when [REDACTED] was closed. The Brooks Landing sub-neighborhood, located within the 19th Ward, was once known as Castletown, and was originally settled in the early 19th Century. The Genesee Valley Canal was constructed through the area in the mid-1800s. Brooks Landing now abuts the Genesee River. A new Staybridge Suites building is at the "landing" itself--in the past there have been like weird tours or something that dock their boats there every so often, like U of R tours maybe? But that was like once. Haven't heard much about it since then. Still, I guess it's technically a "landing." The Brooks Landing Diner is located in a small strip mall on Genesee Street. Off-street parking is available, and is clutch, because the the streets at this hour are riddled with school buses, with their red stop signs alight, just begging you to drive through them, thereby violating the Vehicle and Traffic Law, and the D.A.'s office hasn't been plea bargaining those charges lately, so, good luck with those five points you just got on your license! There's a counter straight ahead. Tables to the right. We picked a table all the way down at the end so the rest of the patrons couldn't hear Dave and Bo's continued vehement debate over what actually constitutes "fresh fruit." An inernal and eternal argument. Hey there, hi there, ho there, you're as welcome as can be! There's a Korean twist to this diner menu! (front page of menu, right side, 6th item down). We all got a cup of coffee right away; Dave and Aaron, black; Bo and Pat, mit half & half. Bo was about to stir in his half & half when Pat stopped him, "Don't touch it!" He was glancing down at Bo's coffee cup and spoon. The waitress/possible owner had done something to marvel over: "The spoon. She didn't put it on the table," Pat observed. "I like that." Dave ordered the Korean home-made beef hash. Pat ordered the corn beef hash with eggs and home [fries], and he sprung, as always, for an English muffin. Aaron got pancakes with egg and beef sausage. Bo got pancakes with egg and bacon. Bo brought, as always, his real maple syrup. There was a steady stream of folk coming in and getting to-go orders. The counter was full, too. The place was pretty hoppin'! Some of the tables started filling up, but mostly this was only at the end, as we were preparing to leave. A strange metal-on-metal chopping sound was coming from the kitchen area. Could it be-? It just might have been- We figured this was the sound of Dave's Korean hash being hashed. The waitress was a little overwhelmed with the influx of customers. Pat, who has prior waitressing experience, snuck up to the coffee machine and served us. The food arrived, and boy, did it arrive! There were forks flyin' at Dave's plate from every which way to get a tasting of his Korean hash! The Korean hash was unlike anything the Xonuts crew has ever encountered. The unique blend of Korean flavorings cuddled every piece of hash, ensuring an incredibly tasty experience. Dave smiled knowingly as he pondered (not for the first time) how he always manages to pick the best item on the menu. The eggs were just to Pat's liking: playfully runny, the yolk sneaking around to places where perhaps it shouldn't be peeking, but not brashly trespassing where it knows it shouldn't. The potatoes were flavorful and weren't overcooked. The corn beef hash was excellent. The name is derived from the French verb hacher (to chop). Very tasty pancakes, flavorful sausage, and well cooked eggs. Brooks Landing delivered when it came to serving up delicious diner staples. If you're sitting at a table, you don't order at the counter, but you pay at the counter. The tab for three was just under $30. Brooks Landing Diner is a good place to go if you want traditional greasy spoon diner food (except for that one breakfast menu item that's not traditional greasy spoon diner food). You could keep the prices very reasonable, if you so chose. Pro Tip: Prepare your olfactory receptors for aromatic overload. You'll never walk into a diner with a finer diner fragrance.

    It's not the fanciest dining experience in the world, but this place is right on my way to school and it does the trick for a quick breakfast. They have plenty of menu options, including some of korean descent, and everything (especially breakfast) is pretty cheaply priced. They also allow call-in/takeout orders and they offer delivery. A fast, friendly neighborhood dive.

    Long ass hair all in my grits I just called to tell the lady, she did not apologize or anything she said "well what do you want me to do" then hung up on me when I was trying to tell her I want a refund. Very gross zero stars

    I really hate giving this place one star as the owners are really sweet. The first thing I registered when I walked in was how the place didn't seem clean. The tables were sticky. My bulgogi was ok - beef was dry and the dish needed salt. The rice was dry (read: stale). The kimchi was tasty. My friend's chicken and waffles were slightly better. He said the waffle was good but the wings were lacklustre. After all that, I was later told that there was a dead fly wedged on top of the can of Coke my friend ordered and a patron at the next table discovered a half eaten sandwich in the menu holder. Everyone else there seemed to know the owners really well and were chatting it up. They do a steady takeout business. I won't be going back primarily due to the cleanliness situation.

    I've driven by this diner for years without ever trying it out. At the suggestion of my niece, we decided to give it a try after realizing that Arnett Cafe is closed on Mondays. The vibe is extremely relaxed. You can seat yourself wherever. The ordering process is a little unusual, but cool. Grab a sheet of paper and menu located on the wall of your table and highlight your desired order. I ordered a waffle, home fries and OJ. Everything was fine, but nothing was memorable. Customer service was nice. Diner looks like it is family owned and I hate to say this, but it doesn't look especially clean. I would probably venture elsewhere in the future for breakfast especially considering that this diner isn't the best for its price point and the food is mediocre.

    Food is okay...nothing special. I got a Korean dish, which was very good, but other people in my group got food that didn't look as appetizing. My one friend got a salmon burger that looked like a hockey puck. She couldn't even eat it. The breakfasts looked decent. The menu has typical diner fare, as well as a couple Korean meals. Diner food is priced pretty low, but the Korean food costs quite a bit (over 10 bucks). The staff was very nice to our group. Service was a little slow, but there were a lot of us, so I can't blame them. It was also nice of them to accommodate our large group in their tiny seating area. I hate to say it, but I would suggest going over to Mt. Hope diner over this place. Maybe I need to give it another try though! (My Korean food gets a 4/5)

    Ordered chicken and waffles. Got a plate of two fried bones. Yum!

    Creamer was powdered. The menu seems like they still haven't even decided on a theme for their restaurant. I asked for Swiss but of course they only have American cheese. Meals came out a long time apart. They even delivered one of the orders incomplete. Chicken and waffles was waffles that was followed ten minutes later with a plate of chicken wings. The atmosphere seems like they are foreclosing any day.

    Pork bibimbap for $12, pretty good!

    If you're in the mood for something tastier than a burger or tuna melt, her "bibimbap" (rice mixed with meat and vegetables, topped with an egg) really hits the spot.

All of the others who didn't measure up." But take heart! All it takes is taking off the glasses and letting its hair down, and suddenly you realize just how attractive and special Railway Station Diner really is! It's the quintessential reliable diner. Above average food. Below average prices. Regulars. A counter. Good service. Quick service. The Mediterranean frittata was wholesome and filling. The ingredients, fresh. It came with roast (up charge for raisin toast, but worth it!). The breakfast sandwich with shred, too, was perfectly proportioned; the crunch of the English muffin and the squish of the sausage balanced each other exactly equally, like Neo and Smith in that third Matrix movie. But the true hidden gem was the muffin. Cut in half and grilled. With sugar crystals! Not too big. Not too small. Not so sweet as to be dessert-like. Just perfectly sweet enough to make you not regret "going savory" by getting the frittata as your main course. Next time you're asked about the best diners around, make sure Railway Station Diner is part of the pantheon.

There is someone just circling constantly with a pot. This is a cash only establishment, so be advised. There is an ATM. We did go at slightly off peak times, since we weren't working those days, but at those times, the restaurant seems to be a favorite of retired men, which is a good sign for a diner! They have a set menu and a specials board that I think changes daily. There's 2 full pages of breakfast, and at least 2 pages of lunch, plus the board. I'm sure you'll find something you like. I had the same thing both visits - a cheese omelet with hashbrowns and wheat toast. It was really cheesy, and I liked that it was a 2 egg omelet rather than 3, for me it was just the right size. We also split a piece of the rotating coffee cake, cinnamon walnut that day, and it was good - not too sweet, plenty of cinnamon. The guy had their 2-2-2 combo and was happy with that choice. For both of us, breakfast ran about $35, for 2 entrees and coffee, plus the cake.

Unfortunately, it turned into one of the worst restaurant experiences. We spent 2.5 hours total at the restaurant. After waiting an excessive amount of time, we watched two tables that arrived at least an hour after us receive their food first. When we politely asked if our ticket might have been missed, we were told those tables ordered before us, which simply wasn't true. We were then told the delay was because burgers take a long time but a nearly two-hour wait for a burger is pretty wild. It took about 25 minutes just for someone to take our drink order, and we were never asked if we wanted additional drinks. We had to flag staff down for everything. No ketchup, no hot sauce, nothing offered. The $30 mimosa flight served in tiny glasses also felt like a complete scam. When the food finally came, two people in our party were served 15-20 minutes before the other two, and the food was cold. One dish had completely raw eggs. When I let the server know I couldn't eat it, she came back and removed the meal from the bill, which was appreciated. However, the interaction itself felt tense and dismissive, which made an already frustrating experience worse. They did give us a round of breakfast shots to try to help pass the time which was appreciated. The food itself was disappointing overall. The breakfast burrito was basically all eggs with raw, bitter avocado, and my husband's burger was missing requested toppings. We also noticed food sitting in the service window while we continued waiting. The only person who was happy with their meal got the biggie fries an it was hot when it arrived. To make matters worse, the bathroom was unheated on an 18° day (feels like 2°) and not clean. We're a pretty chill, patient group and understand that kitchens get backed up but man, this experience completely missed the mark. Ironically, the cooks thanked us for our patience and servers said goodbye pleasantly on the way out. We honestly may have let a lot of this go if the service hadn't felt so dismissive when we calmly raised concerns.
