    Beef souvlaki on pita platter
    Alper T.

    Lately , everytime i go, they are complaining the business is down. I am gonna tell you why! They started to charge you for credit card fees as well. I left a big compliant about that to Crossbay diner. Credit card fees belong to the establishments, NOT TO THE CUSTOMER. Think about it, customers pay tax ( thats a must! ), gotta a leave the tip to server. Now i gotta pay for the credit card fee too! Even it is a couple of bucks, that adds up right. People will think not twice, three times to go out and eat. For the short term, business might think that they got away with it, but in the long term, businesses like this won't survive. Let's come to my breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day. I am a complainer, i know that, but don't give me any extra reason to complain more. And you can learn from my perspective! I ordered eggs over easy with corned beef hash, fries and gravy. My eggs were over cooked, server got me new ones. It is not corned beef hash, IT WAS CORNED MUTTON. To me I don't care, i eat goat cheese and not a lot of people eat that. Mutton has a distinct taste, not everyone will appreciate that. Fires were good, but, gravy was too thick, probably from over night, needs to be loose and water down. Now, I don't need to ask my server every time, change this, change that. Before you serve it to me, you gotta make sure if you can eat that, or would you like to be served that kind a dish!!

    Always delicious when I come here. I love the cheesecakes the best, burgers or omelettes and I always get the fries

    Grilled cheese, bowl of chicken orzo, slaw & pickle

    You know a diner is a diner. But this is a place where the owners work alongside the employees and you see them enjoying the food on their breaks at the lunch counter. Everyday that have a choice of 4 homemade soups and classic dishes that are menu photo quality. My standard grilled cheese gets free slaw and a house made, half sour pickle. I forgot how big a cup and bowl of soup were and of course I chose the bowl, which ended up being a cereal bowl The servers are like your tough, Italian aunty who still loves to party and wear makeup, rough but sweet. It's a little dose of the well blended neighborhood this has become, the always make me feel welcome.

    Agnieshka was our waitress, very nice and friendly. As we sat we were served complimentary cole slaw and a pickle. Good. The slaw coarse and creamy, the pickle crisp, cool and delightfully sour. We felt like sandwich night. I opted for a Chicken Salad & Bacon Triple Decker, substituted French Fries for a side salad. The Chicken Salad was kind of bland. Some seasoning with salt and pepper did the job. The bacon was crispy. Lettuce and tomato crisp and very fresh. The side salad perfect, Lettuce, Tomato, Cucumber, and Red Onions came with a side of creamy garlic dressing. The BLT standard. Too much lettuce on the sandwich. Nice firm tomato. The bread a bit too dark(toasted) for my taste. We capped the night sharing Bread Pudding a super generous size of moist pudding. You can taste the cinnamon. As the spoon goes deeper into the whipped cream and pudding, the bottom is vanilla custard like with golden raisings. Delicious. The espresso was bland. Atmosphere pleasant and the fact it's open 24/7 is a plus. Plenty parking available.

    I didn't even try the food yet, but just in case I forget to, 5 out of 5 for service already. Very sweet staff members and accommodating when I came in to order take out. I did see other reviews on how the service is questionable but as a first time visitor I'm pleasantly surprised so far.

There are lots of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This diner offered a discount for paying by cash. I ordered a breakfast of 2 eggs, ham and hash brown with rye bread. My grandson ordered a chicken panini. We were both happy with our food. I loved that they gave a free orange juice or coffee with the breakfast order.

The sausage tasted stale, the egg portion was quite small, and the pancakes were a bit tough to cut through. The French toast was good and was probably the highlight of the meal. I also ordered the pancakes with Nutella, but they were very bland. Instead of simply drizzling Nutella on top in circles, it would have been much better if the Nutella had been incorporated into the pancakes themselves for more flavor. The service was decent, but I had to repeatedly ask for coffee refills, which was disappointing. Another concern was that the diner does not provide plastic utensils, nor do they offer hot water to sanitize the silverware if requested. The ambiance can also be an issue depending on where you are seated. The restaurant was very loud, and the tables are placed very close together, causing customers to frequently bump into chairs while moving around. Overall, my experience was satisfactory, but there is definitely room for improvement in both the food quality and dining experience.

The whole outside smells like urine...just reeks. Inside, you'll wait 10+ minutes to be seated, despite having a reservation and there being multiple empty tables because the hostess is just not there. When you finally do get seated, the hostess just drops the menus on the tables and walks away, doesn't wait for you to be seated, doesn't say "enjoy your meal!" The floor is dirty, the edges of the table have obviously not been wiped down (crusted old food in the cracks) and just a general greasy, unclean vibe. The ambiance is nonexistent- no music aside from a man at the bar watching tiktoks on his phone at full volume. They rush you to put your order in even though it will take like 40 minutes to arrive despite (and I cannot emphasize this enough) the fact that the restaurant is a ghost town. The food sucked, we had 2 meals completely comped, but the bill somehow comes to over $50 with one burger and two non alcoholic drinks because of the 20% service charge. Even after we flagged the awful food (twice!)we still had to wait almost 30 minutes for the manager to come over. This was just terrible and it's obvious the staff does not care and is just going through the motions.

Despite the traffic, service time didn't take a hit from it. The waitress kindly took my order and I got all of my food within 10 minutes. I had the Fried Mozzarella for a starter, Chicken Caesar Honey Wrap with waffle fries for the entree and Iced Tea because I figured dessert would be too much for both my appetite and wallet. The Fried Mozzarella pieces had a type of pull that you would expect and one I haven't seen in awhile. It was delightful in taste and texture. The Ceasar Wrap and Waffle Fries were very filling. It was very good but it felt like I over ordered on food again so I finished as much as I could. I've had a pretty good meal at a fair enough price. The place has a lot to offer so you'll find something there.
