Dad's Diner was everything I hoped it would be. I ordered the Hunter's Schnitzel (Jägerschnitzel) ($18.5). It's a handmade schnitzel with fried spätzel, mushroom gravy and a side of braised purple cabbage. I also ordered a cinnamon bun ($5.5) not pictured.
The main dish was exactly what I wanted it to be: crispy schnitzel, good quality, home made spätzle, and comforting.
This place is small but VERY popular. There were only 2 people working and they worked their asses off! We showed up close to noon to find all tables taken. But one lady was kind enough to offer to move to a different table to allow my party of 4 to sit. She was the real MVP.
Their cinnamon buns are also fantastic. Many of my coworkers rave how they're the absolute best in the city, especially fresh. I'm also in love with the fluffiness of these buns.
If you're wanting comfort food or to step out of your comfort zone without straying too far, this is a great place for you. read more
