I have been here so many times to get lunch while I at work. I have had their chicken quesadilla which is amazing, their jerk chicken sandwich, grilled chicken breast with spinach and rice which is my new favorite. Their barbecue and buffalo wings are always amazing. But an office favorite is their gyro and fries.. it's always good 👍

We used to be loyal regulars at Executive Diner, coming every weekend for years because the food was consistently great and the atmosphere felt like a true local gem. Unfortunately, things have really gone downhill lately, and we’ve stopped coming altogether.

The main issue is the lack of management and oversight. The staff now seems to be made up entirely of very young servers who don’t appear to have the training or support they need. Wait times for basic service are incredibly long — we’ve had to get up ourselves to ask for silverware, drink refills, and even the check on multiple occasions. It’s frustrating to feel forgotten at your own table.

While the food is still solid, it’s not enough to outweigh the poor service experience. We’re really disappointed to see a place we loved lose its touch. Hopefully, some stronger leadership and staff training can turn it around.

Couldn’t pay me enough to try this place again. Chicken tenders were pink and tough, either undercooked or old chicken (either way, gross). When I addressed it to our waitress, she said “so do you want it or no?” Like what? Nice location but terrible customer service & food that shouldn’t be served even to animals

My wife and I were in the area doing some shopping and decided to look for some place walking distance to sit and eat breakfast. We stumbled on this place and decided to give it a chance. We were both pleasantly surprised with how good the food was and the value that we got for the price at this diner. I got the chicken and waffles and it was excellent! I thought it wouldn’t be enough so I decided to get some eggs on the side. The chicken and waffles were so filling that I didn’t even have enough room to eat the eggs. We both also got a mimosa pitcher that was well worth the money seeing that we both got about 10 or 11 glasses of champagne each off of the pitcher. We would definitely come back here!

This diner is a great spot for breakfast and is so cute inside! All of the food was tasty, but the potatoes were a highlight! Service was excellent and they even offered a to-go coffee as I was getting ready to leave.
