I came here with my family today and I got to say this is the worst dinner I have ever been in. I usually never write reviews, but this is bad. Since the start I felt unwelcome. The atmosphere and the service was not friendly at all. My mom and I both got burgers and one of the burger had mold on the bun and both our burger bun had a very bad/off smell, clearly was spoilage. When we tell the waiter she just told us if we want different buns. Just wanting to replace the buns. My dad stepped in and said no, because that is a health risk. The whole burger is contaminated. I told them to smell the buns because we aren't lying. The other waiter asked what the issue was and took our burgers. And when she came back, she said her manager said that the buns have flours on the bottom and that is normal. This isn't our first time ordering burgers and we know how to tell the difference between mold and flour. And after that, we left they didn't ever apologized. Other restaurants/dinner, when an issue like this happen they apologize. The waiter and the manager aren't professional at all. I thought my family and I felt like this, but as I am going over the reviews, it's an issue. We were definitely racially profiled. The waiter just gave us bad service compared to other tables. Felt like she didn't want to attend us in general. That was a very uncomfortable experience I've never felt. We thought this was a good restaurant because of the high rating. Don't come here.

They don’t make them like this anymore. Like stepping into a time capsule. Love it.

This place reminds me of the classic story The Goose and the Golden Egg. This Diner used to shine, now it's uncared for, dirty, rusty metal chairs, and dusty in multiple places. Broken / damaged / missing trims on table tops, chains, benches, counter overhead, etc. The extra charge for using a CC is unwarranted and sneaky without verbal communication of the new higher total.
Food wise, I've had worse, and I've had a lot better at newer food establishments. Generally speaking food is bland with missing seasonings.
Case in point, new food establishment only 10 feet away from this place has better burgers, is cleaner, cared for, and even cheaper.
I will NOT be returning. If they don't start caring about the place, they will continue to lose costumers and place themselves out of business. Similar to what happened to the Goose in the story at the end.

Ive came here several times because the food is always good, and comes out fast. Attentive busboys, unfortunately waitresses have a nasty attitude towards certain guests, our waitress who was the older blonde lady was rude to me when i asked a question and snatched a menu from my moms hand. But she was really friendly to the caucasian couple in the table next to us. Sus. Not sure if she gives different treatment because she thinks we wont tip or was having a bad morning, but as someone who’s been a server for 8 years herself, you are supposed to treat everyone equally and kindly. It costs nothing to be kind.
Big portion. Nice people.

My husband and I came to this place a while ago and the atmosphere and the service was not friendly at all, definitely felt tense and unwelcome. After reading all the reviews I know now it's not just me, apparently people of color and hispanics are being treated poorly in this establishment, definitely never returned and advised everyone I know in the neighborhood not to support this diner. It's sad because under new management it can be a great neighborhood place but it's not so I will continue going to spend my money elsewhere like the New York Grill diner just a little further from there on myrtle ave, amazing little spot with great food and awesome customer service.
My spouse and I had a lunch date there. It was good, very professional and great food
Lifetime of memories. I have been coming here for 40+ years. Very little has changed. Good times and good food! It's your typical American diner. You leave satisfied.
Great service.
I’ve lived in Glendale for almost 20 years. Retired NYPD Detective and Army Veteran.. I pride myself on respect and customer service.. I waited almost 40 minutes for a cup of coffee while 3 other tables who arrived after I did were served.. I was there with a friend who happens to be Italian lol and he was more upset than I was.. customer service is horrible and when I left I told the owner/manager what happened he didn’t say a word, he didn’t care at all. We just went to Metropolitan Dinner and the food and service was outstanding!! (2nd comment) So you took the time to respond to my review but never said a word when I left with a complaint. Not only can I prove you’re lying about me only being there 10 mins, I have parking meter receipts, texts and calls I took while waiting. I would like to state I didn’t wait 40 minutes for coffee it was around 27 minutes by the time a cup of coffee came to our table, we left after waiting 40 minutes… it’s absurd that you clearly recognize you served other tables who arrived after we did who also ordered simple eggs, pancakes and bacon.. but it took me 9 minutes to receive my order at the Metropolitan Dinner where the service was outstanding. Learn from this and train your staff, also show your customers you care.. it’s as simple as that.
