As someone who grew up in NYC, I love diners. Diner food is one of the things that I miss while living in France because it reminds me of home.
My husband and I were staying in a nearby hotel that did not serve dinner. Thanks to Yelp, we found Memphis Diner Cafe. We were able to be seated without a reservation.
The owner/manager clearly loves all things American. The menu had some American staples like hamburgers, pancakes (although for dinner), nachos, and milkshakes, and there was a Harley Davidson parked out front. I got a cheeseburger and it was well cooked. They provided me with a salad instead of fries. There is also a good beer and cocktails menu (although many of the cocktails were quite sweet).
Service was friendly, prompt and efficient. All menu items were well priced. read more
