“We don't live in the area, but over the years whenever we're passing through we make sure to stop-in for a meal. As the name says, this is a Diner, and a half-century ago when such establishments were common that wouldn't have needed any explanation. The establishment is family-run and very reasonably priced, sometimes things take a little longer to get to the table, but that's because they have a large menu and make things fresh. Breakfast is always cooked to order, lunch specials include a hot or cold beverage and house-made rice or bread pudding, with whipped topping at no additional charge, while at dinner dishes like their beef brisket and pot roast are classics, again accompanied by generous sides including their house-made chicken soup, which seems to have a different pasta in it on each visit, but is consistently good. The facilities are clean, there are booths and a counter in the main room, and plenty of tables in the large side room, while a rotating case displays their desert cakes, a slice of which is included with their dinner specials. I know they do take-out, but I've never tried it, part of the point of a diner is to dine there and eat the food while it's hot! We've been there often enough to spot the regulars, and while we don't always agree with their politics, we leave such matters aside and enjoy the food and service, both of which are worth a detour!“
“Went to Monticello to attend a slots tournament at Resorts with my boss. He lives in Monticello and eats lunch here every day lol. It's a classic diner vibe and the prices are super low! I had a grilled cheese and fries platter which was delish. Friendly service and atmosphere.“
“Nice little diner. My wife and I are diner people and this place did not disappoint. One of the best hamburgers I have had in a while. Wife’s Rueben sandwich was excellent. Waitress was very nice and talked with us for an awhile about the history of the diner after our meal. I would definitely “
“Great service and even better food. Traditional diner classics with Greek specialties as well. My family of four enjoyed the sandwiches and dinner specials as well. A good sign of quality diner is the way they make a classic cheese burger - and their burgers are perfect. But you need to leave room for their desserts! If not take them to go - you won’t regret it! This has been my go to diner for past three years.“
