My family went tonight to the restaurant for the first time and we were not disappointed!! The establishment was clean and comfortably cool inside as they have air conditioning. The view with the big picture windows was beautiful and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. The portions were a great size and delicious! I highly recommend their fettuccine Alfredo and clams, fries! My daughter had the New York style cheesecake and it was amazing also. If you are in the area please make sure to stop by it is a hidden gem!!

I love the Border I've recommended it to many people. People in particular were chefs at other restaurants that I visited, they weren't disappointed you never know who's coming into the restaurant but I know that will keep coming back into the restaurant it's the most beautiful place you can sit and eat the staff is unreal the food was perfect. I can say all of this because I've been there and back, took my whole family there. It's a place called brag about, it's just simply my favorite place to be. My name is Debbie Martin oh and they recognize you as soon as you come in. Thank you keep up the good work

A Mixed Experience at Border Diner and Grill

My family and I visited Border Diner and Grill to celebrate my birthday a little early since it falls on a weekday this year. The restaurant's website is well-designed, and the menu options looked very appealing. However, the pricing was noticeably higher than what I would typically expect from a diner.

On the positive side, the staff was very friendly, and the restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained. The atmosphere leaned toward an older crowd, but that wasn’t an issue for us.

As for the food, the experience was mixed. My son had a burger and seemed satisfied with it. My wife ordered the seafood chowder, which she found to be just okay. My daughter had a quesadilla, but unfortunately, she was disappointed. The fries were fine, but the quesadilla didn’t quite meet expectations. I had the Philly cheesesteak, and while it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t quite what I was hoping for—the bread wasn’t toasted, which affected the overall texture. The Caesar salad that came with it was also underwhelming.

That said, the potato skins were fantastic—probably the highlight of the meal. The chicken wings were decent but could have been better.

Overall, I would rate our experience 3 out of 5. The quality of food was in line with what you might expect from a diner, but given the pricing, I felt the value wasn’t quite there. While I appreciate the friendly service and clean environment, the meal itself didn’t quite justify the cost.

I’m always open to trying new places, but based on this experience, I’m not sure I would return. However, I do appreciate the effort the staff puts into their service, and I hope others may have a more satisfying experience.
