Came here after a long day at Six Flags and honestly... That grilled salmon with the 2 sides of mashed potatoes and gravy hit the spot just right. Their mimosas are very flavorful and the staff is great!! Will be coming back again for SURE!!

Regarding my recent Grubhub order for Eggs Benedict, I must report that the poached eggs were overcooked. To address this, I recommend either providing additional training to the culinary staff on proper poaching techniques or temporarily removing the dish from the menu. This is to ensure the quality of the dish meets the standards expected by your customers, who ultimately support the company. The experience was disappointing. Restaurants often have a single opportunity to establish a lasting impression with a new customer, and in this instance, the quality of the food did not meet expectations. I am increasingly concerned with the trend of restaurants offering subpar food and service.
If you raise the prices of food, then customers HAVE THE RIGHT to RAISE THEIR EXPECTATIONS ON FOOD QUALITY AND SERVICE.
Lazy interest from the corporate sector equals lazy staff performance.

The staff said they were understaffed and still performed better than most establishments. Love the vibes and the theme. Food is quite reasonable.

I always liked ordering from this place until today when I ordered a chicken sandwich with house Salad. When I open the house salad I was shocked by seeing a bug inside the lettuce. Looks like they don’t wash their vegetables and they don’t care about customers health. Very disappointed and would never eat from there again!

The atmosphere is better than IHOP and Denny's. The food is about the same. Service is friendly.

The original Mail’s diner it’s a franchise in California that you go and have great breakfast lunch and dinner. Your service is always good. Their food is always delicious. The atmosphere always loud 50s American diner style. My wife had the Santa Fe skillet with sausage they look great. They look delicious. I even stole some of it when she was in the restroom. And I had the hangover too, which was plenty of food, especially I’m a ham lover so whenever you see a male original diner, are you hungry? I suggest go there. They’re always great. Love life, love food and shut up and eat! #shutupandeat!

Excellent service. The waitress was attentive and repeated checked in on us even on a busy night. Food was delicious and so were the ice cream sundaes.

Ordered a grill cheese, one slice of cheese, wasn't melted on Texas Toast. How can you screw up a basic Grilled Cheese?

Has been a while since I have been here. Was a great vibe, and the young waiter was friendly and on point. Food was hot and fresh. Perfect lunch.

Had the chicken and waffles—really tasty! Only downside was the cost: $28 with tip (also included a small OJ).

Their Santa Fe chicken sandwich just fell apart. They put a very small piece of chicken breast on a much larger wheat bun, the guacamole was brown, when I took a bite the whole thing crumbled I couldn't finish it.
