Great American Diner & Pub

We liked the diner décor, had good service and they made a fresh pot of decaf for us.
I got the turkey panini, which had a generous portion of turkey and I thought was delicious. The fries were hot and not greasy.
My spouse got a giro panini which had little meat and little lettuce, tomato or tzatziki sauce. By far my sandwich was better.
We saw other platters that looked very good, especially the omelets.
Would go again if in that area.

I’m fairly certain they changed the name of this place but the quality is just as bad as before. We went here last week to catch the world series and were utterly disappointed. We ordered wings which came out cold. My husband asked if they were frozen but the waiter so no they just fry them early for the day and recook them when someone orders… yea not much better than frozen. Fries were good but that’s hard to mess up. Will probably only come back for pancakes and beer.

Never going back. Went with a friend a couple weeks ago for some dessert around 12:30pm.I got a piece of Caramel Cheesecake (a little stale, didn’t care for it) and my friend got a piece of Dark Side of the Moon Cake with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream (it was a little too bitter, has coffee in it) and we also got Loaded Waffle Fries (it was a big portion but it had grated cheese NOT MELTED). So for all that we paid 24 – 25 $. Waitress didn’t check on us and took a long time to serve the «food». Never going back.

I was so hoping that since the name changed (pub 2900) the food would be better than the reviews. Let’s just say that if I went into a the poorest public school in the area and purchased a school lunch, it would be better quality that the mess put in front of me today. My husband and I started with the fresco bay crab dip. The color and texture of this so called dip could only be described as egg saladish. I tasted zero crab. It seemed to be a sort of cheap generic version of melted velveta cheese. The best part of this app was probably Tortilla chips.
The main course– my burger aka a slab of frozen patty and onion rings was just not something I was even willing to eat after the first bite. The onion rigs had no flavor and the «zesty sauce» that came with it clearing was past its expiration date. Needless to say I won’t be coming back. But thanks to the waitress that offered me a coupon as an apology. Much appreciated.

Just don’t. Food was not great and its pricey. The server was nice. My mother in law s Salmon was soooo dry it was inedible. The crab cakes were very fishy with little real crab meat in it. It reminded me more of a diner than pub.

My boyfriend THREW UP after eating this place’s disgusting sh*t they call food.
He ordered a blitz thing or whatever breakfast crêpe thing filled with «soft cream cheese» which looked more like cottage cheese. I tried it, it was appalling.
I had eggs toast and bacon, the bacon was undercooked and so were the «homefries» which were like raw potatoes. on top of that, the service was horrible. we waited 45 minutes for our breakfast. Needless to say we will not be back here.

Had breakfast here with the kids and it was excellent food, great service! Very pleased!

What can i say about this place? Stay away! There is a variety of other food options — diners and restaurants — within a half mile of this place and my experience mirrors many of the other reviews of that place here. «Special BBQ» was THE worst bbq i have ever tasted. Even covered with HUGE amount of BBQ sauce, it reeked of something that i don’t want to be near. Amazingly enough both bbq chicken and ribs. The specials here come with a soup or salad and you can guess the rest. Both of us had identical experience with our orders.

I haven’t been here in years, but a craving for the creamed chipped beef in a sourdough bread bowl brought me back. This place is exactly what I want in a diner. Good food, fast, and breakfast available all day. The atmosphere is nice, quieter than a typical diner, and as my fiancé said, the dining room looks like home.
My toddler’s chicken tenders came out too hot to eat, but I prefer that over cold. A few minutes later he was happily chowing down. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. Definitely will be back.

I desided to go back for the Breakfast again. When you walk in there is a board with all the great specials on it. Many to choose from. Like the pizza omelette to the the waffle with strawberrys and bananas.
When I arrived around 8am the place was empty, but notice after about 20 min, this is one of the diners that gets so packed with people. More then I even expected.
The service was kinda slow, I guess thats expected, when it’s only one waitresses working one side of the Diner and waiting on so many. And servers Atleast could be in a much better mood. But that will not stop me from Raven how good their breakfast is in the morning. The coffee was not bad. Just waiting on the next cup takes awile. The menu is alot to choose from. Atmosphere is good.
I wound up getting the waffle with Bananas and strawberrys. And yes was good, strawberrys and bananas fresh. Would definitely get it again.
Look forward to coming back in the near future.

Definitely a fantastic place to go to, with awesome food and atmosphere. the menu is so big and has so many choices! The only negative I have about this diner is the service sucks. your drinks will come out about the same time that you’re paying your bill and the servers tend to get a bit attitude-​y if your remind them about the missing beverages or how you still don’t have a fork.
The bar is always busy and seems to be really popular, with a good amount of EVERYTHING. I recommend coming here, but if you’re one of those people who notice that there’s missing items from the table, I suggest you go somewhere else.

So apparently this place is going by «The 2900 Pub» or whatever now, but the interior is still exactly the same as it was when it went by «The Great American Diner and Pub». I would give this a one star review but everything about my experience here was so bad it was entertaining. Literally, it was like a scene out of Restaurant Impossible or Kitchen Nightmares.
Firstly, everyone my group encountered sounded like they were on the cusp of getting throat cancer. Which, fine, whatever, at least they didn’t reek like cigarettes. However, our waitress was what took it from «fun divey bar» to «we should not have come here». After giving us our waters, she advised us to make sure we use the straws provided because she doesn’t «trust the dishwashers». Then my boyfriend decided to order a Magic Hat #9 off the draft list. This AMAZED the waitress. «A magic what? Number nine? I’ve never heard of that beer!» Seriously. Those were the exact words out of her mouth. And it’s not even like the draft list was extensive; it had maybe 10 beers on it, half of which were your standard Miller/​Heineken/​Bud/​etc.
We ordered onion rings for the table, which was also met with a comment from our waitress. Nearly everything we did was met with a comment. «It’s good that you guys are just going to nibble on things!», «Are you sure you feel alright honey, you sound like you’re getting sick!», «Don’t suck that drink down honey, take your time!», «Wow, you guys really are nibbling!». All of this on top of the fact that the roof was visibly leaking and when we told our waitress about it, she just laughed it off and thought it was cute that we noticed.
They should really go back to being The Great American Diner and Pub and using Ryan/​Armstrong High School kids as wait staff.

Wow… so the pub was never great. but with new management this place is just awful. We ordered the «Three Cheese Quesadillas» and when they came out it looked like something that was made in a college dorm. The quesadillas had three different slices of processed cheese that was most likely microwaved. It was absolutely disgusting and I definitely won’t be going back.

Long time customer and today’s breakfast was appalling. The restaurant was very crowded and there was about a ten minute wait for my boyfriend and I. No big deal and sometimes a really good sign. The restaurant recently changed hands and the last time I came my go to dinner usual was sub par but the rest of my parties food was fine. So anyway change of hands then also a deal popped up online $ 10 for $ 20. So here we are and we sat and waited no big deal. I ordered a waffle and unfortunately found out the waffle maker unexpectedly broke. All still not a big deal I subbed out the waffle for cinnamon toast. Food finally came after another few mins and both my food and my boyfriends was ice cold. The cinnamon toast wasn’t even made right! It was raw butter with just cinnamon on top! What the hell happened to this place! What a disappointment!!!

If I could give this place a minus 5 stars I would!!! Horrible food & the worst service I’ve ever experienced especially with myself being a server! If you can’t serve then don’t! We definitely will never be going back, only reason we went, was because we thought great it’s under new management we’ll give it a try … BIG MISTAKE! Never going back!!!

Me and my girlfriend came here for dinner last night and I would have to say it was the worst experience at this place. It was the American Diner last time I came here (great food and service then) but has recently been renamed PUB 2900.
The server we had was absolutely horrible. While giving us our food my girlfriends hamburger bun fell onto the food tray so she picks it up with her bare hands and puts it back on the burger like nothing happened. I ordered the sizzling fajitas and the tortillas were so hard and dry that I could’ve tossed one like a frisbee through the window. Never refilled our drinks and I found it very strange that the hostess was coming around asking if everything was alright. The menu was too shabby… Needless to say we’ll never go back again.

This place has a really cool vibe. It’s décor is like a diner and pub mixed into one and seems like one of the late night spots that people go to out here. A lot of the places in this area are really dead at night so it was great to see some folks.
The staff was very friendly from the host that seated us, to our pleasant server, Tiffany.
I ordered the fish and chips and it was PLENTY for $ 13.99. It came with a salad and 4 nicely sized pieces of cod with a baked potato. Everything was great, even the tartar sauce. We all know everyone’s tartar is not good.
I’ll definitely eat here again when I’m in the area.

I wish I could give this place minus stars. Simply terrible.
I used to frequent this place before I was even old enough to drink. It was THE place to go to smoke cigarettes, drink coffee, eat good food, and relax with friends before or after the night’s activities. The menu used to be huge — what seemed like endless pages full of hot, delicious foods. Perhaps this is why today it is such a disappointment.
I went last night and my service was terrible. The food was worse. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, ribs «special» — which I guess was the same as the regular ribs but a free slice of cake, and the chicken croquettes. Let’s begin with the appetizer: actually, not bad. The dip itself inside the bread bowl was the only positive thing about this meal. The chips and «soft» pretzels served with it were both terribly stale. The ribs, my boyfriend said, were the worst ribs he had ever eaten and I believed him. He first tried to pick them up with his hands and break them apart — no dice. Then he tried a knife and only with much struggle did they finally separate. It hurt me to watch him eat them. Dry. Flavorless. «The chef does not know how to cook meat,» he said after his first few bites.
I always order the croquettes at a diner. It’s the only place to get them and it’s also fun to compare. The only good thing about this entrée was the mashed potatoes which were surprisingly homemade. Why you would drown chicken croquettes in a white sausage gravy is beyond me. They were completely saturated with gravy that I was scooping off in chunks and they were still covered. The inside of the croquettes was very thin. Did not seem to be any actual chicken inside — probably just filler. The portion was huge! But the croquettes over all were disgusting. The sausage in the gravy was iffy, at best, and honestly, I lost my appetite. I also ordered a side of mac and cheese. Weird how this place managed to mess up what was probably generic Velveeta Shells and Cheese.
My server rarely made an appearance, and even though I barely touched my food, she didn’t seem concerned. I asked my boyfriend if he wanted his free cake, but at that point he was pretty fed up and disheartened which was fine because our server didn’t even ask him if/​what he wanted. $ 42 for pretty much the worst diner meal/​meal I’ve ever eaten period.
Truly the end of an era, but based on the rest of these reviews, that era has been over for quite some time.

Like all diners, the reason you go here is breakfast. Their breakfasts are consistently good, and by all means, get the Monte Cristo, it’s by far the best item on the menu. Who can resist cheesy fried goodness? Well, maybe that’s not your deal, but their breakfast foods are pretty awesome. Also, this place is great for morning mimosas. Trashy? Maybe, but why not indulge?
I’m docking them a point for their lunch/​dinner meals though. The quality has gone way down over the years, and I rarely ever order any of their entrees (except the Philly burger, which is one of few stand outs). Service is hit or miss, décor is rapidly aging, but I still love a lazy weekend morning there.

My mom and I were car shopping and stopped here for lunch. We both got fajitas and they were very good. Service wasn’t so great but our waitress was very nice.
The food was great, the atmosphere was great too. If i lived around here i’d definitely come hang out here.
I’d come here again if I was in the area & looking for a casual place.
