I was on my way to my hotel, passing by starving and decided to give it a try. I understand it was a Sunday evening, not too busy the staff were a bit confused on what server had my table. Thankful for the young lady who took my order and care of my table. The entree that I ordered for dinner, wasn't the best in quality or taste. I ordered Captial Chicken.. the description read grilled chicken, pieces of crab meat , broccoli Swiss cheese, and hollandaise sauce, with two sides. The chicken in my opinion, wasn't grilled, extremely chewy , didn't really taste any crab and the holldaise sauce bland. My waitress I overheard say to the kitchen, something to the kitchen about adding paprika to the dish. Luckily I caught it, and declined. That wasn't even listed on the menu as added to the dish. May need a refresh on chicken preparation . This diner sadly wouldn't be my choice to return for an entree. Perhaps, maybe what diners are best for breakfast.

I know why, it's a solid French dip! We got our food in 8 minutes after we ordered, I'm not sure if Joyce said anything to the cooks because I did mention I was starving lol. My partner got a chicken torta - I would call this an Americanized chicken torta. It came on some sort of grain bread. Still tasty, the thinly sliced jalapeños gave it a nice kick. The cafe was fairly busy but service was quick. Do I wish they served fries instead of chips, yes, but beggars can't be choosers. Again, it's airport food but it's pretty good for what it is.

I've been making the 20-25 minute drive to Angie's Diner for at least 10 years because, in my…read moreopinion, they're the only place around that serves truly authentic Amish-style creamy chicken and waffles. I've happily made it a destination restaurant because I always felt the food was worth the trip. That's why this visit was so disappointing. The creamy chicken was nothing like I remembered. Instead of the rich, thick, yellow gravy I've always loved, it was thin and almost like a clear broth. The waffle arrived folded over on the plate, so even the presentation wasn't very appealing. My mashed potatoes were fine, but my second side was a single-serving lunch cup of applesauce, which honestly felt more like something packed in a school lunch than something served in a restaurant. Unfortunately, the atmosphere wasn't much better. The first booth I sat in was dirty, so I moved to another one. I genuinely felt sorry for my waitress because she was obviously overwhelmed. She was pleasant, apologized several times, and was clearly doing the best she could under the circumstances. She kept mentioning that her relief person never showed up and was running around trying to keep up with everything. The cook even came out and announced, "That's the last order I'm taking," which made the whole dining room feel tense and uncomfortable. Whether he was simply overwhelmed or not feeling well, it wasn't the kind of atmosphere you'd expect when you're trying to enjoy a meal. The bright spot was the club sandwich I ordered to go. It was made exactly as requested and was very good. What concerned me most, however, was what I observed regarding sanitation. I watched a container of individual half-and-half cups accidentally spill onto the floor. Instead of discarding them, they were picked up and placed right back into the refrigerator to be served to future customers. Later, I also watched clean drinking cups dropped onto the floor and then placed back with the clean cups instead of being rewashed. Those are the kinds of things customers notice, and they undermine confidence in a restaurant's sanitation practices. Checkout was also frustrating. Even though I was the only customer waiting to pay, it took three employees about five to seven minutes to figure out an issue at the register. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, especially for a restaurant I've supported for so many years. My hope is that management takes this as constructive feedback because Angie's has been one of my favorite destination restaurants for a decade. I'd love to recommend it with the same enthusiasm I always have, but the food quality, sanitation practices, and overall dining experience need attention. Loyal customers notice these things because we genuinely want to see a restaurant we love continue to succeed.

The man who helped me was so kind; they told me about the changes and promised me a good experience. The chef even came out and reassured me it would be good, but asked if he could use the better-looking lettuce because he felt the Romaine would not be as good. And viola, it was incredible with spring mix. Great experience, I would highly recommend staying here.

I recently visited Highspire Diner and was thoroughly impressed! This spot is affordable, tasty, and exceptionally clean. The service was top-notch--friendly and attentive. During our visits, we tried the Big Breakfast and the Fruity Tootie Waffle, both of which were amazing. The Big Breakfast was hearty and satisfying, while the Fruity Tootie Waffle was a delightful, fruity treat. We enjoyed it so much that we came here twice during our trip. Highly recommend! read more
