Old school diner. Simple breakfast. Decent price. Good taste. Friendly service. Nothing fancy. These spots need to be cherished as they won't last forever.

Awesome place located in an amazing area. Service was attentive. Breakfast is served until 3pm, tasty and large portions. The prices are very affordable than average. The diner's theme is old style, very welcoming.

Went with a family member for two basic breakfasts and it was good! Portions are good and food was hot and tasty! Service was also good. Basic menu but simple.

Great reliable retro-style diner. Affordable, family friendly, only downside is the coffee tastes like water.

What I really love about Fil’s Diner isn’t just the food or the drinks, though those are amazing too, it’s the way the place makes you feel the moment you walk in. There’s this warmth to the atmosphere, like it quietly welcomes you in and tells you to just slow down for a bit.

The retro vibe is such a treat—I’m definitely biased toward anything vintage, so I loved taking it all in. Everything from the décor to the little details around the diner makes it feel cozy, fun, and kind of timeless.

The staff are wonderful. They’re kind and attentive, but they don’t force small talk or make you feel rushed. The food comes out quickly, but it still feels like it’s made with care. It’s that perfect balance where you feel looked after but also free to just enjoy yourself.

Honestly, every time I go there, I end up feeling happier than when I came in. Fil’s Diner isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to pause, to feel comfortable, and to enjoy a little moment of calm in the middle of the day. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again.

It's a greesy spoon, so you get what you'd expect. Not to say they couldn't make some small efforts to improve. Get rid of the flies, take the butter out of the fridge in the morning so it's possible to spread it, French toast that's better than a thin layer of egg on some bread. Etc. but there's a certain charm to this old bird.
