We were a big party, like 12 people, which I think is very unusual in the late afternoon. There was only one staff member working on the floor, and he was diligently and humbly serving food, taking orders, and caring guests. We had to wait a bit but it's understandable. Thank you very much for your service!

Great staff, very warm and welcoming.Food was a bit heavy on the tomato sauce for my taste, but well cooked.Would recommend for anyone looking for a classic friendly diner.Parking: Parking is a bit tight and sharing one lot with a large grocery store and many other businesses.

From the heartwarming welcome and service that immediately makes you feel at home at your Ma's kitchen to the good quality food and laid back atmosphere, this is the way all diners should be.

Typical diner atmosphere- busy, loud, bustling, cramped, casual. This is a place to get food and hang out with friends like you would for Starbucks. Coffee is strong, breakfast is fantastic. Been here for lunch and nothing to write home about, pretty average but solid, but breakfast will really surprise you with how yummy it is. Big portions and flavor is phenomenal. Service is unapologetically loud, but they have to be. Attentive to refills and needs of the table. I would say this is a place you see a lot of elderly blue haired people, not so many young people unless they're with families. To be honest, they know whats up. All in all, this little tucked-in unassuming place is the hidden gem of Crystal Springs.

Neal's Coffee Shop is a good community restaurant serving the Highlands and Ascension Heights residents. Good portions and quality food makes it the go-to eatery.

Very comfortable diner with lots of breakfast options and for lunch, they have burgers, salads, sandwiches and more. My turkey melt sandwich was decent with a buttered and grilled sandwich bread. The fries were McDonalds style: thin and crispy. Very strong. Dining room is open and spacious with a community vibe. It’s easy to overhear other conversations, for good or bad. Service is so friendly.

This was my first time at this restaurant. It is 9:30 am on a Wednesday. As soon as I came in I see the waitress at the register I’m standing in the front because obviously I’m waiting for her to tell me either seat your self or ask me how many people? But she did neither. She didn’t acknowledge that I was there finally she lifts her head up and says “Anywhere”( in an unfriendly way). One of the kitchen men came and asked us what we would like to drink. The Asian waitress lady then comes 10 minutes later to get our order by then I was upset because the red wasn’t busy at all. So she comes and asks us for our order and I told her that we had to wait for a long time and totally ignores that I said that. ??. As I’m waiting for our food to arrive I saw two other people come in and doesn’t acknowledge them as well.

Neal's reminds me of the old coffee shops in the 80s. It has an extensive menu, generous portion and friendly customer service.
