One of the waitresses that are working today, instead of being on their job and listening to somebody who wanted specifics when it came to their meal. Decided right in front of them to gossip, and make people feel a certain way. So they ended up just paying for drinks and leaving.

No one in their right mind when it comes to working in a food service place should feel like they are above any type of customer to the point where they can go and laugh the way that they did being as disgusting as they were. She needs to be fired, she's going to be the reason why they're ratings tank when it comes to the service!!

Y'all better train your waitresses, they need to understand that the customers are the reason why they get paid. And they're also the reason why they get tips, disgusting service like that is going to crash and burn that entire Diner. Absolutely disgusting

Atmosphere was a little strange. Food tasted good, but none of our sandwiches were hot.We got the sandwiches with the macaroni and cheese on them.The bread was barely toasted the inside of the sandwich from it not being toasted long enough was cold.When you have a sandwiched like that , you want the hot gooey cheese. Took everything home heated it and it was delicious.

We've been coming here for years at this point and I completely forgot to leave a review, can you believe that?

This is one local business you absolutely need to try! The menu here is and has always been phenomenal, the regular dishes are delicious and the specials are so creative and so good, not to mention the prices being so cheap compared to some other diners! The staff are also super friendly and attentive, even when they're super busy - we've never really felt ignored here. I believe the longest we've ever had to wait for a table on the busiest of days was 30-40 minutes (for a party of 2-4 max, mind you - I'm sure you might need to wait longer if you have like 9 people), and I would very gladly wait that amount of time for the excellent service we receive!

Please keep in mind that there is a small extra charge for using a credit or debit card here, it's posted up front in an easy-to-see spot. If you don't want to pay the additional fee, just bring cash. I'm quite tired of hearing some patrons getting upset at the staff over this.

Food was good, but not spectacular. The waffle I ordered was so cold the butter didn't even melt. Will try again, as it was good enough for a second chance.

I really liked it here! My food was super delicious, and I would highly suggest getting the Middleswarth Burger and Mac and Cheese! The workers here were very nice as well, and I would definitely recommend coming here if you’re able!
