    When we stopped in for brunch a few days ago we could tell this diner has been around for a while, especially because we heard the waitresses greeting customers by name so no wonder why there are so many 'positive' reviews. It might've been a good spot a few decades ago, but it is outdated now. Food is cheap but you get what you pay for. You'd think you can't go wrong with chicken and waffles? I couldn't even finish, i felt guilty for eating like i was betraying my body. Unappetizing.

    For a place with a clear full client list we got seated surprisingly fast. And what an experience! Diners being a special passion of mine it's pretty hard to be truly impressed. The food quality and quantity and the old fashioned diner feel is all there! So many experiences never get written about because they're mundane. Take my effort here as an indication that this is a place worth adding to your travels!

    Hash omelette with potatoes and my friend Dana gave me her Italian bread toast

    Oh my got there early today with no waiting. I got the homemade hash omelette with breakfast potatoes and pumpernickel toast. I also had a really good iced coffee. So I took a lot home and just finished it for dinner. So darn good. I'll be moving back to Alaska next month so I'll have to go again before then. Best breakfast place I've ever eaten at !!

    Big breakfast

    The staff were very attentive and friendly. Service was fast and food was amazing. Everyone was nice even the customers. It's a typical diner.

    Western omelet

    Very happy about the portion!! Great service and bathroom is clean! Love cash only! We will come back again.

    Eggs over easy with sausage , wheat toast and home fries.

    Great breakfast joint, delicious food, generous portions, reasonable prices, friendly service. We went on a Tuesday morning, and the place was fairly busy. We got seated right away and the food came out promptly. I had eggs over easy with sausage, wheat toast, and home fries. Everything was perfect. What more can you ask for ?

    Eggs Benedict--w/ ham, and tomatoes. English muffin hiding underneath. Delicious.

    This restaurant is always jammed packed. But their breakfast is great. And they do have parking...but if it's busy, it's still tough to find a spot. They also have outdoor dining now. This diner is definitely worth visiting but I definitely recommend visiting early--or you'll be waiting for awhile. At times you might get lucky and it's fairly quiet but it's often busier than not. As for the food, Lou Roc's does their breakfast right. I've had their omelets in the past and recently had Eggs Benedict. Tons of flavor. This diner is CASH ONLY. Although they do have an ATM on site. Cheers and enjoy.

    Corn beef & cabbage. HUGE !!!!

    Love this place! I usually get the specials. Pot Roast, Chop Suey, Turkey Dinner, Fish & Chips. The meals are massive and tasty. Love the clam chowder. It comes in a HUGE bowl. The Home-made hash omelet is wicked good. The ladies that run the place are always super cool. Great fresh food. Even if there is a line, it moves ultra fast.

The waitress who I believe was named Erica (she was the younger taller girl, there were two of them) the one that greeted us was rude and needs to work on her interpersonal/engagement skills and to not mumble (they both were mumbling and you could not hear or decipher what they were saying but then she wanted to cop an attitude because I was about to check her), it was our first time so we walk in taken back at how small it was, she wanted us to wait outside but instead of staying such she gave us a dirty look and her attitude continued at the counter. It is very cramped in there and sitting at the counter was uncomfortably close to other patrons, if I return it will be during the work week but will wait for a booth free up.

You'd be forgiven for walking past without a second look, assuming it's just another mom and pop breakfast and lunch joint. One doing a brisk takeout business for the neighboring businesses and likely not a place you'd try for more upscale fare. You'd be wrong! Beyond the admittedly dated decor and past the countertop service of dinner standards is a kitchen that turns out food that hits well above its weight. With a daily list of specials that would do most $50 a plate restaurants proud expect to have your first impressions blown away. Haddock cooked with a very Mediterranean mix of artichokes, olives, onions, and cherry tomato's in a lemon/butter/ fish stock, Jambalaya done wet in the traditional New Orleans style with house made creol seasoning, a shrimp and veg stir fry with Bok Choy served uniquely with fat fettuccine noodles in the house made broth. All spectacularly good, all incredibly under priced! A word about the wine list: there is none! Far better, it's BYOB with food that justifies pulling your better bottles. Perfect. Don't spread this around, but the daily lunch specials mirror the by reservation only dinner menu...for half the price. In sum, Theater Cafe far exceedes expectations and delivers a remarkable value. You come here for the food, not for the ambiance, perfect service, to be seen by the right people, or God forbid because some snooty food critic deigned to give it 5 stars. It's a place Michelin will never review and we should all be greatful for that.
