Asked if we wanted corrected said no after such a long wait. The acting manager brought the corrected food and tried to force us to take after saying we did not want. She was raising her voice and causing a scene when we continously declined the food. We then go to pay. The cashier asked how everything was politely explained and the acting manager came running up shouting and causing a scene and said don't come back.

I've got a five egg chorizo and strak omelette, which was fantastic with a side of fruit and crispy, hashbrowns and rye bread. I had to take half of it home and I was absolutely starving. I hadn't even eaten dinner the night before. It was incredibly flavored great service very cool to have this when I come back home

Service started off rough. It took about 30 minutes before we were helped, which felt excessive. I…read moreunderstand that it was busy, but the initial wait definitely set a negative tone. Our waitress also forgot my water at first, which added to the slow start. That said, the food redeemed the visit. I ordered the buffalo chicken mac and cheese, and it was genuinely excellent. The flavor balance was strong, creamy and cheesy with a solid buffalo kick. The portion size was satisfying. The ambience was nice and felt like a classic diner. Even though it was busy, the lively atmosphere actually made the place feel welcoming and energetic rather than chaotic. The full dining room gave it that authentic diner experience. Overall, I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars. The long wait impacted the experience, but the food and atmosphere were strong enough that I would consider giving it another chance during a less busy time.

I found a hair in my food. The serverdid not have hair pulled up in a ponytail it was definitely…read morehers...blonde hair. The cook had black and it was pullled up into s ponytail. The server's hair was past her shoulders and blonde. From my experience as a retired server, I know that if your hair touches your shoulders, it is to be pulled up. Very disappointing. I was hoping for "hairless" food. If it happens again, I will address the server and the health department.

She ordered the French Soda and the breakfast sandwich and I did a custom iced latte (white chocolate and pistachio with almond milk) and the smoked Gouda grilled cheese. Everything was very good and perfectly made. They did run out of eggs that morning so my friend's breakfast sandwich was just a bagel, cheese, and bacon. They didn't have any sauces to add to it. The workers were so friendly and helpful. They clearly know the regular customers and they stayed busy. My friend and I aren't familiar with Van Wert and the staff was happy to recommend local businesses for us to visit while he hung out. We were there on a Saturday morning and it was busy, but there's ample seating so it was fine. It was cute inside and the enjoyed the exposed brick walls.

This old school Greek Diner in Defiance is a worthwhile stop for a very good meal. Located in an…read moreeast side commercial area in a standalone building on the corner of a strip plaza, it's not difficult to find. The exterior looks nice enough and the spacious interior is comfortable and pleasant though not elaborate. We were seated right away and our server attended to us quickly. She did a very good job during our entire visit as she was efficient and attentive but not intrusive. We had our 3-year-old granddaughter with us and they were able to accommodate her with no problem, which was greatly appreciated. The menu offered plenty of options. They seemed at the core to be a Greek Diner with several characteristic offerings you'd expect from such a place. But they also featured plenty of American Midwest-style comfort food as well. My wife tried the Beef and Noodles special that took us back to the type of thing we ate as kids. She ordered that in part because it was something our granddaughter would eat, but she also enjoyed it as well given her proclivities toward such dishes. I opted for the Greek portion of their menu with a Famous Gyro Salad. It was also a very solid choice with good Gyro meat and fresh vegetables accompanied by equally fresh pita. It was all very good. I'll also note that the coffee was decent, which I can't always say for these types of diners. The prices were very reasonable. Overall with food, drinks, tax and tip, we were able to stay at about $14 - $15 per adult. This is not bad at all for dinner by today's standards and I was quite happy with the value. We would not hesitate to try this place again should the opportunity arise.

Bacon and cheese omelettes, crispy hash browns and tasty flavored pancakes. I'm not sure what they add to the pancakes but the taste reminds me of being in Grandma's kitchen. Service was very good, attentive and friendly and the prices are comparable to local diners. This restaurant is located directly off the Wauseon Turnpike exit so convenient for travelers as well as locals. There was just two of us but a group was seated and plenty of room for small and larger parties. We will need to stop back for some of the dinners soon.
