EC Diner

Best crabcake I've had in a long time. Greek salad was perfect and the mac an cheese can best be described by my photo.

Great servers and quality food.

Ive been here several times and each time, its gotten progressively worse. The service i havent had a problem with, but as i try different things on the menu, i become less and less happy with them. Overall, the food quality is pretty low. It just tastes like they use low quality ingredients. Soups taste pretty generic, vegetables like corn taste like theyre out of a can. This makes no sense since they claim their ingredients are all locally sourced etc on their menu. The best thing on their menu so far is the seasoned waffle fries. Ive gotten, the pesto chicken panini (bland), burgers (not bad, have struggled with cooking consistency), a reuben (flavorless corned beef, pretty bad), french toast (nothing special, not enough batter or spice at all), the brick chicken (BADLY overdone, and the manager wrote “did not like food” rather than acknowledge the badly overcooked food and seemed completely nonchalant about it even when spoken to about it), and today i got open faced roast beef, which was by far the worst thing ive gotten here so far. It was drowning in gravy for one thing, so much so i couldnt tell it was an open faced sandwich at all. The gravy was also flavorless. The meat was chewy, overdone, and fatty along with being flavorless. It was to put it bluntly, awful. Our waiter was great about all of it, but management again wrote “did not like food” on the receipt. It seems like their management doesnt care that theyre serving crappy food. After i sent that back, i ordered a plain burger, and got a cheeseburger, which again was incorrect. My waiter put it in correctly, but the kitchen messed it up. He took that back and very quickly brought me another one. Which wound up being almost rare inside when i ordered it medium well. I sent that back as well and did not order anything else. The rest of my party was done eating by that point. After sending back 3 orders, the manager never came to talk to me, not once. They just comped the bill and figured that was good enough. Pretty disgusted. If you come here, id stick with ordering breakfast. That seems to be their strong suit. The place overall is pretty cute. They just need to seriously get their act together with their food quality, management, and the kitchen.

4 month edit: nobody has even tried to reach out to me from their management about my poor review, which tracks with their general overall attitude towards customer service. Havent been back since i wrote this review, and have no plans to go back anytime within the near future unless i hear from them.

11 month edit: still no reach out from management. I havent been back and wont be. They clearly arent interested in listening to their customers.

I've been going to this diner for twenty five years and I always found the food to be good and the staff to be very efficient. Today was no exception. The waiter did fumble one order, but was apologetic and gracious, despite the lunch rush. The diner is always filled after church, and while I don't mind the hustle and bustle, some of my lunch mates did find it a bit distracting and prefer something quieter.

Lousy service, disappointing food.

Great food. A little bit pricy but generous portions. The pastry counter has a marvelous variety of treats.

This place used to be nice but every time it's crowded the food is not prepared well or it's cold and I was very disappointed for the third time, I will not be dining there any longer,.

You know those ore-ida oven fries with the fake crunchy stuff? That’s what you get here. Plus a cold bun & a luke warm burger. Meh. All for a $60 lunch with tip for two. Won’t be back. Can’t believe how crowded it is. Shows you how lazy people are. Better food at McDonalds.

The diner was very busy when we arrived. I was told they were known for the crabcakes, which is my favorite meal, which came with soup and 2 sides. The shrimp bisque was good. I liked the fact the shrimp were cut up giving you pieces in every spoonful. The crab cake was a nice size however it wasn't even warm in the middle and too wet for me. It was sent back to be reheated. My BIL had the Reese's Peanut Butter stack of pancakes that he said were very good while my sister had a pasta dish she said was good.

EC Diner has amazing food at affordable prices! I had the pleasure of visiting on a Monday and indulged in their incredible lobster dinner, and it was perfection! The lobster was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, and came with generous sides that made the whole meal satisfying. The service was top-notch as well, with friendly staff who made the experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're coming for their lobster special or just a casual meal, EC Diner delivers with delicious food and great atmosphere. Highly recommend!
