About Zak's Diner Elgin St

Zak's Diner on Elgin Street offers a welcoming and cozy atmosphere, especially in the summer when the garage doors are open, creating an "inside-outside vibe." The staff, including Jay, are friendly and attentive, making customers feel valued. The restaurant has a nostalgic feel reminiscent of a 50s diner, with a hearty breakfast menu that offers something for everyone. Serving sizes are generally huge, though modifications can be made for smaller appetites, such as opting for egg whites in the omelet or skipping beans and home fries. The menu features delicious options, including locally famous milkshakes and generous portions like huge pancakes. Vegetarian options are available, and the staff are accommodating to dietary restrictions. Parking at City Hall is the easiest place to park. The diner is a great spot for large gatherings or a quick bite, with great service and a friendly atmosphere. However, the ambiance can vary; some find it darker and less bright than other locations, and certain sides like coleslaw and pickles may not be as fresh as before. Overall, Zak's Diner on Elgin Street remains a popular and welcoming place to enjoy good food and friendly service.
