Hole in the wall near the JFK memorial across from El Centro. If you blink you will miss it. They have the same menu they've had for decades. Reasonable prices CASH ONLY. It's narrow with maybe 3 tables and lunch bar with about 6 or so seats. 1 cook and 1 cashier. Good food and good people. Been going here for 20 years. For a quick 5.00 breakfast sandwich or hotcakes or burger or patty melt....this is my spot. The food and the people are consistent. You know what you're getting each time you pop in.

I stopped by for a quick lunch and was very impressed. It’s just as small on the inside as it looks on the outside, but the food was delicious and service was fast. I got the chicken fried steak with green beans and potato salad. Everything tasted amazing but I cannot say enough good things about that potato salad, 12/10 recommend.

Breakfast is still so delicious!! I used to come here all the time when I worked downtown in the early 2000’s. Now I drop by every now and then. Food is consistently good. Service is exceptional. Such a pleasant experience.

Fantastic diner - real-live lunch counter. This place earns every one of the four stars (I reserve five stars for the very best places I've ever been). We had two orders of onion rings to start (5), my wife had a fish sandwich (5), I had a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich and fries (6) and we each had fountain cokes (@2). Folks coming and going on a rainy day about 11:45 pm. Relaxing, clean, homey, not quiet, but not noisy. Attentive service from the three folks running the seven seats and four tables. I enjoyed myself thoroughly! $22.05 altogether for lunch.Parking is a big challenge on a weekday, but we lucked out: Go into the Houston or Elm entrance to the Dallas County Records/Tax Office building's underground parking - get as low as necessary to park in the back corner (the NE corner) - that elevator lets you out away from the records building in a little structure on the corner of Elm and market - directly across the street from the Record Grill! Parking's pricy: 61+ minutes, $10 - we got out for $7 - well worth it. We'll be back every chance we get.Vegetarian options: Vegetable plate, salad, grilled cheese. Rings, tots, fries, hash browns, pancakes... Maybe they could rig a cheese enchilada plate? I will be back.
