I enjoy this diner's breakfast and usually have a good experience. Unfortunately, I arrived just after breakfast service ended and ordered lunch instead. I had the meatloaf sandwich with mashed potatoes.
The meatloaf itself was decent but underseasoned and arrived lukewarm. The bigger issue was the mashed potatoes, which tasted like boxed, heat-and-serve potatoes, and the gravy had a distinct powdered taste. I would gladly pay a bit more for higher-quality, scratch-made sides. Using real ingredients, especially potatoes and gravy, consistently elevates any meal.
The staff is always friendly and welcoming, the prices are reasonable, and the restaurant appears clean. I will continue to come back for breakfast, but I will think twice before ordering lunch or dinner. If the potatoes and gravy are not boxed, that raises even more concern about execution.
I hope the diner considers upgrading ingredients, as it has the potential to be much better. read more
