    Tuscany Panini
    Laura P.

    Always generous portions with enough to share or bring home for a second meal. I had the Tuscany Panini with eggplant, roasted peppers and mozzarella. Really good! Service is great. Crazy ceiling hanging that looks like a boat frame.

    I recommend the Rainbow Diner restaurant, they always make us feel at home, kindness, cleanliness and delicious food make a single complement. 100% The best.

    Always busy because it is always good. Great service and big portions. Free Coleslaw and pickle with most entrées. Cool glass decorations. Loved the Tuscany Panini with eggplant, roasted red peppers and mozzarella on a lovely pita with balsamic glaze! Steak fries cooked to perfection.

    Took my son and two close friends out for DINNER after they helped me with warming and serving food for a guys Party . My daughter has her baby shower. Service was fantastic. Thanks George. Anything we needed, we got. I ordered the sweet Pork Chops with mushrooms, onions and peppers. There was a delicious brown sauce poured over the entire dish. It comes Sweet and Hot. I went Sweet this time. Came with plenty of yellow rice. Bread with butter were warm too. I also had Decaffeinated coffee. The meal was enormous. Three thick big Pork chops! WOW I ended my terrific meal with a piece of Cherry pie alamode. Two large scoops of Vanilla ice cream

    THE BEST DINER EVER! From the food, owner to servers, it's our favorite! The servings are HUGE, I always have leftovers, which I love! I love the BLT and ANY breakfast meal. Get the potatoes extra crispy, trust me! It's clean and accessible and like any good diner, if you want it, they have it! It's quick, friendly and delicious!

    What a find! Excellent service and food. On your first visit you feel as if you are family! Staff…read moreand management are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. An amazing array of breakfast possibilities including personalised omelettes and even grits are available! The quiche is the best one I've had since France. Lunch and dinner are excellent too - sandwiches and seafood are fresh and the right portions are always served. The diner is meticulously clean and beautifully decorated right down to artistic and hand crafted menus. And the price is fair for what you get. Also you can take one of their delicious desserts home with you if you are too full to eat it there. Definitely one of the best eateries in the area. I would highly recommend the Corner Post!

    I don't normally leave reviews, but my recent experience was bad enough that I feel compelled to…read moreshare it. This was the second-worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. The chicken noodle soup tasted foul--almost as though the soup pot hadn't been properly cleaned between uses. My mother ordered a fruit cup with her meal, but the first thing they brought her was French fries. When they corrected the mistake, they brought out watermelon, pineapple, and banana slices. While the fruit itself would have been fine, the banana was already beginning to brown, which made it look particularly unappetizing. Unfortunately, the problems didn't stop there. The French toast was limp and undercooked, and the French fries were hot on the outside but cold in the middle. The experience was bad enough that we noticed another customer at a table across and diagonally from us take one bite of his burger, put it down, get up, and leave without eating any more. By the time we left, we hadn't been able to eat much of anything. We ended up stopping at McDonald's on the way home because we were still hungry and needed something we could actually eat. I understand that mistakes happen in restaurants, but this was far beyond a single mistake or an off dish. Nearly everything we ordered had a problem, and the overall quality was extremely disappointing. Based on this experience, I would not return.

I ordered the Mom Burger, which is a Swiss burger topped with mushrooms on a brioche bun. It also came with a good portion of fries and a side of pickles. The burger itself was pretty solid -- good flavor and a satisfying size. At $16, the portion felt fair considering the amount of fries you get with it. One thing I noticed was an additional charge for sauces. I asked about it, and they explained that all their sauces are made in-house, which is why they charge $1 per sauce. Honestly, that makes sense when they're homemade. Now the star of the show for me was actually the drink. After looking over the menu a bit more, I decided to try the LA Metro coffee drink with almond milk. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but for $5.99, I have to say it was really good. Definitely something I'd order again. I also want to mention the customer service. The girl working at the counter was extremely nice -- probably some of the best customer service I've had in a while. She didn't rush anything, answered my questions, and was very professional and friendly. I asked about the specials, the cakes they offer, and even whether they were doing a St. Patrick's Day platter, which they are. Overall, it was a really good experience. Good food, great drink, and excellent customer service. I'd definitely recommend stopping by Taylor Sam's if you're in the area.

I had a cappuccino and it was tasty. My beaux had one of the brunch specials and I thought it was tasty but he wished the braised meat was more fatty,but I personally thought it was perfect. :). The diner was festive, busy, and pretty noisy which we thought would have been a good spot to mask our noisy group. . I miss the Brownstone when they had one in Jersey City so it was a nice chance to check out this other location of theirs.
