Another Great Cheap Eats spot. Diners still have that nostalgic family feel and yes the food is always and still good. Our hostess and waitress was kind and professional. The amount of food was awesome for the price. If you're in this area and need an inexpensive option for food. Go to Empire diner, you won't be disappointed.
