“Old school diner in the best sense of the word. The food is inexpensive and hearty. The coffee is hot and abundant. The waitresses call you "hun" and seem like they've been there forever. The decore is classic diner. Loved this place in college for a good omlette after a night of drinking. And, after my recent visit, I am overjoyed to see it hasn't changed much in those 30 years.“
“We had such a great time at the Avenue Diner. We went to celebrate our friend's birthday and the hostess and wait staff were so great and accommodating. We definitely overstayed our welcome, but they were the best. Everything that we got was delicious. The owners are Greek, so we ordered a lot of the Greek items on the menu and everything was great. It has a great, small town diner feel and I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu!“
“This was our first time here, my sister and I choose to sit on the bar side. When we arrived it was apparently shift change, there was no hostess so we sat ourselves. After waiting for about 10 minutes my sister went up to the bar to get us drinks. The one person a petite dark haired lady was quite rude telling my sister it was shift change. We are okay with that we just wanted to get drinks after all we are in a bar. The other bar tender again I don't know her name, she had long wavy hair. She was very nice got us our drinks and a menu. Paul ended up taking care of us. He was very attentive and the rest of our experience was very good. I had the beef gyro it was very good, my sister had the patty melt it was good, but the burger did not fit the bread well. It was a big burger my suggestion would be just to smash the burger out so it fits the bread better. Overall the food and service was good and we will come back and try again.“
“Had not been here in many years since Nikki use to be our waitress and her mother was hostess manager who always made strawberry milkshake for my daughter.....fast forward we came in were promptly seated in back room which I was happy about less crowded, older lady seating us asked what we wanted to drink and said our server Jacob would be over in a minute. She brought our drinks and he promptly arrived, greeted us and answered our questions and took our order. Soup was hot and delicious and the bread was fresh and butter not melted and refrozen like many places recycle customers bread and butter. Food arrived hot, juicy, nice size portions reasonable prices. Jacob kept checking back on us, he was prompt to get refills and ask if we needed anything When came time for deserts our first two choices he came back and said manager said they were old and would not serve, A+ for honesty. Only problem was older man on register seemed to be unsure having problem with credit card... Everything was so good.We came back again asked for Jacob but this time we were sat out front. Right from get go it seemed different, the older guy that had problem with credit card seemed to be a bother seating us, seemed unsure who was working what tables.Jacob was prompt and friendly and food and service were great in fact my meal was filling which for me is a rarity. I did force myself to get desert because they looked so good and it was to die for and worth the price.My complaints for second visit All stem from the other staff: first there were three Hispanic employees 2 females wearing masks under their chins (which makes you look like idiots) who seemed sick yet were not wearing masks properly and were wrapping the silverware and Spanish guy with mop all hanging out front jabbering in Spanish the whole time (this is very disrespectful in my opinion), and the other problem is the waitress who was constantly bitching and complaining about the time and 1 hr left and customers coming in before closing and about other employees that did something she didn't like.....I don't want to hear staff drama, see goofing off and I don't want to hear all this foreign jabbering this is America speak English!! When you do that you give the appearance that you are talking about people and or don't want them to know what you are saying. It's very shady and sneaky and good way to loose customers. Keep that nonsense in the back of the house!“
“Thank you to the chef who actually served real "Fried onions" on my husband's fried potatoes. These were nice brown fried onions not white/tan sauté onions. This is the only diner in this area that knew how to make FRIED onions. Thank you to the waitress for getting this correct. Always good good and service at The Lamp Post Diner!“
“???BJ???I've awarded Monarch diner the prestigious golden BJ award. This award is only given to places I would feel comfortable recommending to friends. Everything is good here, not just diner food. We've been getting fancier entrees lately, some pasta, the specials... Whatever we get it's good. The service is usually great and I appreciate the owner or manager always checking in to make sure everything is correct.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and kids menus.“
“I was surprised at check in that Id never been. Totally cute, cozy and clean diner. Did I say how very much I love diners?! Super service. My bagel and lox was on point! Joey's breakfast sandwich- same. Their dessert selection was slim Pickens, but I never get it anyway. I just like looking and drooling lol! Id absolutely go back!“
“In town to help a friend move.We didn't stop in for the first 4 days which was a mistake.Managed to make it twice before we left.Some good food and some interesting food.The first day I got an amazing chicken pot pie, which I would recommend . It had fresh vegetables and was refreshing. Ordered with a Cesar salad. The salad was just lettuce and dressing. No croutons or grated cheese.The 2nd trip I ordered MEATLOAF and a regular salad. The regular salad was much better.The meatloaf however was a puzzle. It was basically 2 slices of chopped steak with gravy. Not the kind mom used make with peppers and onions and tomato topping . So I can't recommend that.“
“Food was great. Lots of choices. Whatever your looking for they have it and big portions. Very nice clean diner service was very friendlyParking: Parking on spot in parking lot free.Kid-friendliness: This place has high chairs. Has a kids menu plus they get a free scoop of ice cream or pudding with there mealWheelchair accessibility: Handy cap parking with wheel chair ramp.“
“The diner was outstanding, as the waiters were very friendly and are frequently around so you can order more food. The food and drinks were great, and I enjoyed it with the comfy environment of the diner. Definitely an awesome experience, would come again when I visit the area again!“
“Visiting town for a few days and family recommended the diner. Food was spot on, fast, hot, and tasty. Our server Austin was quick and gave us just enough attention. My only comment was the noise in the place. We were trying to catch up with family, and the noise just kept us from hearing each other. Other than that, a place I’d certainly come back to for a drink or good meal.Update: We enjoyed last night so much, decided to come back tonight. What a difference between servers, appetizer came out with dinner even though she asked if we wanted it first, same drink tonight was twice the price, server wouldn’t close out the ticket so had to wait in line for 20 minutes, and finally wanted 4 cookies to go, cashier refused and I needed to purchase a full pound. Well no cookies, and server got no tip.“
“If eating at diners is your thing, then The Whitman does not disappoint. I hadn’t been here since moving away, but I always like coming back to grab some good food.It’s got that diner decor and vibe. It is clean and up-to-date. Eat at the counter, booth, or table. It’s your choice. Lots of parking around.Our server and friendly and attentive. My coffee cup never got below 1/2 full. The breakfasts were plenty. All items were well prepared. Eggs done just as ordered, crispy bacon, fluffy pancakes. I appreciated that the waitress asked about peppers in the hash-browns.Overall, a great place to meet friends or bring the family, for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.“
“BEST LIVER AND ONIONS YOUR GOING TO GET FROM A DINER … MY FOOD WAS SO GOOD IT REMINDED FROM BACK HOME IN THE SOUTH SERVER AND CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS 1000000000000/10 GREAT JOB I WISH THE DINER NOTHING BUT BLESSINGS AND GREAT THINGS IN THE FUTURE THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️??“
“I've been here twice before today. The first time I didn't leave a review and my experience was 3 stars. The food was wrong and a staff member was rude. Third times a charm! Our waitress was so nice. The meals were incredible. Fresh and delicious. The coffee is a little strong but not bad. Well done home fries,Cheese omelette with green peppers,onion and bacon. The food was hot and perfectly cooked. I did ask for soft peppers so they aren't so crunchy. The booth was wiped down and very clean. I highly recommend this diner.“
“I was more impressed than usual. They quality of food REALLY stepped up. The mozzarella sticks seemed homemade with the nice breading and size of them. The turkey in the club seemed fresh carved and thicck. Crispy bacon in it too. Very pleased with the coleslaw. The beef barley soup also seemed homemade with how the veggies were chunky but not mushy. The girl taking the order was very patient and considerate. The delivery man was just a sweet little old man.“
