    Cheesecake
    Nathan H.

    Quaint diner w/ friendly service. I was a little disappointed in the chicken & shrimp scampi over linguini and the chicken in the soup wasn't great, but I did have a late lunch so I wasn't as hungry. The cheesecake was perfect -- very tasty!

    Chicken quesadilla
    Noor D.

    Great dinner in the Franklin park/Kendall park area. Nice cozy and traditional setting inside. Good place to get some work done. Good was impressive compared to other dinners. The chicken quesadilla was delicious and very filling. They give you good portion sizes for what you order.

    Chicken Wrap
    Patricia F.

    I went back to Franklin Park Diner today and got my usual (and absolutely scrumptious) Disco Fries with a twist - extra cheese, which was absolutely to die for! I also decided to try another one of the delicious desserts behind the glass display case -- this time, I opted for a generous slice of their coconut pie. Let me tell you, it was creamy, thick, sumptuous and absolutely did not disappoint in any way! I can't wait to try more desserts!

    Western Omelette Ham or Bacon or Sausage Omelette
    Kate K.

    THE BEST DINER!!! I absolutely love their western omelette. Their sausage side is probably the best sausage i've had at a diner. Their pricing is great as well. Their service is phenomenal and welcoming it. At first this dinner doesn't seem like much by looks and appearance, but inside it's a perfect little diner.

    Roast beef entree

    Always a great diner in the area. As with any diner, there are a lot of hidden gems. The pasta dishes always come as a huge portion. The penne vodka could easily be split into 4 portions.

    Buffalo chicken hoagie

    That was absolutely terrible, calling it prison food would do a disservice to prison food. Had a Buffalo hoagie which came with 4 fake chicken tenders, a smear of buffalo sauce and borderline rotten lettuce. I paid 16 dollars for this sandwich which isn't even worth 25 cents. I don't know how anyone can serve this and not be embarrassed. I literally have to order a second dinner because it was inedible. Partner ordered a California panini which was thrown out after three bites. Stay far away, if they can't make two sandwiches right I doubt they can do anything right.

    Overpriced for no reason. The waiters are nice and amazing but the cost of it isn't worth it. Rather would go to Stewart's

    Eggs are Never over medium, cold and servers don't read special requests. Most meals are very bland.

The service was good but the food was mediocre at best. The stuffed peppers were overcooked and soft and tasteless. The chicken wrap was a bit better but didn't have much flavor either. The french fries that came with the wrap were quite good as was the apple pie for dessert. The broccoli that came with the peppers was overcooked. My recommendation for anyone who cares to try this restaurant is to keep it simple. Hamburgers, maybe a sandwich, but I would avoid anything that requires real cooking.

Service was excellent. Old school diner servers with personality and the ability to have fun with their customers. Being Polish it was a surprise to find potato pancakes, kielbasa, and pierogi on the menu. We shared the potato pancake platter and the 2 eggs platter. Added side of scrapple. Where do I start? The potato pancakes were moist, sweet and full of fresh herbs. Definitely better than I ever made. You can choose sour cream or applesauce. I ordered the eggs over medium and they were cooked perfectly. The only thing is that they come with hash browns and toast. The only substitution for the hash browns was French fries. No fruit or vegetables. The reason we shared was because the egg and potato pancake platter with meat was only offered with bacon or sausage. I wanted scrapple. No complaints on any of the food at the table. It was a random stop but I definitely recommend if you're in the area.

So when I used to work in L'ville and could get Route 1 Diner delivered through Uber Eats it was a treat indeed. I often ordered the turkey Reuben, omelettes, BLTs, fish sandos, and quesadillas. All good but the actual standout here is the STEAK FRIES! They are fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside. They're the best steak fries by far and possibly a top 3 restaurant fry of all time for me. Even by delivery they arrive crisp. I've since left that job near the diner but when I find myself in the area I can't help but stop in to get the fries. I was actually hesitant to do so at first - kinda like lifting the curtain back on Oz. But there's no trickery here - the waitstaff is friendly in person, the food is hot and fresh, and incredibly priced. This diner is such a gem and I am admittedly jealous of people who live nearby. Def stop in - well worth the trip. Enjoy my pics!

As soon as we sat down, our server was incredibly welcoming and attentive. I asked him for a drink recommendation and told him what flavors I usually enjoy, and he immediately suggested something that ended up being absolutely perfect for me. The drink didn't take long at all to come out as well! Everyone at my table ordered burgers, and we were all impressed. The portions were generous, and the burgers were cooked just right. They were juicy, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling overly heavy. We paired them with fries and onion rings for the table, and both were sooo crispy and delicious. The restaurant itself is beautiful both outside and inside. It has a really inviting vibe, and you can tell they put effort into creating a space that feels stylish but still comfortable. When we arrived, it wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxed lunch experience. While we were there, near the bar area there was a group of people celebrating something with a DJ, and the energy over there looked like so much fun!! Overall, great service, delicious food, and a fun atmosphere. I'll absolutely be coming back!
