“If you don’t have anything nice to say, you shouldn’t say anything at all.”
I think the ratings speak for themselves. I am actually surprised that this diner received a 3 at all. To clarify our rating system, everything gets a 1 for existing, meaning it will not receive a rating lower than a 1. But I have nothing nice to say about this diner, and at best, it looks like an average roadside diner.
But the food was atrocious. The strawberry shortcake tasted like chemicals, and the taste lingered for hours afterward, despite our best attempts. Even mouthwash couldn’t quite get rid of the taste. The cinnamon buns tasted like stale bread, and the toast tasted like stale bread, and the eggs tasted...fine. They tasted odd at first, but just the first bite. The home fries tasted below average as well. The most basic of diner foodstuff done wrong. At least it wasn’t overly expensive, but honestly, I wouldn’t eat that food again if it was free.
The coffee was not drinkable. It was also not endless. Cheap endless coffee is somewhat of a necessity for me to at least tolerate bad coffee.
The decor was typical chrome diner. It was large, but nothing particularly interesting. The bathrooms looked like a dirty, rundown high school bathrooms, and were dim.
Service was subpar. Our waitress, while not rude, clearly hated her job, and made no attempt to make us feel welcome.
Overall, avoid this diner at all costs.
