This is a family style restaurant with a WIDE variety on the menu -- I had a hard time narrowing down my choices but finally settled on the gyro. I had a lovely bread basket to munch on while I waited, but I didn't have to wait long -- my meal arrived quickly. The gyro was HUGE and very tasty. I also got fries, cole slaw, and opted for a side salad instead of soup. The salad was just a bit disappointing -- the lettuce wasn't the best and hadn't been drained well -- but the garlic dressing was excellent. My server was new and eager to please, very attentive. They are open until 10, which was lucky for me as I got there after 8. There were a number of large groups there, and it seems to be a very popular spot -- lots of regulars who were greeted by the staff. Prices were typical for the area. Overall, GREAT place -- was recommended by staff at hotel about 10 minutes away, over other closer places, so I thought it must be good -- and it was! Highly recommend.

Great diner. So many selections; some of us got breakfast, some got salads, one got dinner, and one got a sandwich. So much food we asked for boxes to take leftovers. The food was awesome. Highly recommended. This is not a usual diner with scaled back furnishings. This place is really nice.

Myself and 11 friends were at Continental to break the fast for Yom Kippur. The buffet was plentiful & was first quality, and that brisket was really delicious! Whenever an item seemed low more was brought out immediately. The attention to our two tables was superb. We have been to Continental many times for many meals great food great people!

We had an 80th Birthday party in the private room. It was the best experience and the most delicious food. The staff are so friendly and helpful. And again the food was wonderful and plentiful. You can’t go wrong booking the Continental for your next party. I give it 10 out of 10.
Oh man its good and its waaay underpriced!

Better than home cooking!!
We are ALWAYS happy with the delicious food and friendly staff at The Continental, but today was special because Pete sent us home with a piece of his bread pudding. It was AMAZING!! Thank you Pete 😊
Been going here since the mid 1990's and have never had a bad meal. Staff is warm and friendly. Food come out fast and hot. Portions are big. Always great specials to choose from but the menus is already so big what more could you want? Pete, the owner, his family and mostly long tenured staff run a tight ship. I have brought family, friends, workmates and clients there over the years and will continue to so. BTW, they also have a private party room if needed.
Always love Continental! I've never had a bad meal here and their soups are absolutely out of this world! We've moved, and now make a 30 minute trip, just for their soups. ?

Ruben and Matzah Ball soup were outstanding. Wife's food was excellent also. Only complaint were the hashbrowns were awful. Cold and dry.
