American Classic Diner

I have no choice but to drop my review of this establishment. The serving staff is great and the last three times we have been there, each one was helpful, friendly and on their toes.
The kitchen is not reliable at all. It has been awful the last three trips here. Tonight, most everyone wanted a burger and shake, except me. I went with a tried and true breakfast item for dinner. A Bacon omelette, fresh sliced home fries (circular, thin sliced potatoes-​my fav!!!) and rye toast with a coffee. No, I didn’t have the chocolate shake as everyone else! As if, a shake and omelette, no thanks.
Our food took forever, again, yes not the first time. Everyone who ordered well done burgers, got well done burgers. Come to think of it, only my wife Cindy requested a well done burger. Everyone else ordered much less than well done but were ensured to get absolutely dead and way beyond well done. These burgers were dried out more so than the leather inside my first pair of Bauer 1000 ice hockey skates I had from when I was 16. By the way, it took 15 years to dry them out and boy were they tough and stiff, just like the burgers.
Awful! We wait for a long time for kids mac n cheese, BLT, 6 burgers and an omelette. Yikes! Sorry, but we arent coming back here no matter how busy every other restaurant is in the area when all the snow birds are visiting. I’ll wait an hour for a table. Too bad, because the place is very clean and the décor is really great!

So glad that this Diner has been reborn! breakfast is great. But the best thing is the fresh beer batter haddock. As good as I’ve had anywhere including New England. Good Greek food — Gyro wonderful.

We ate here last year when we were in the area. Cleanliness is not what it was last year. It was very clean last year not so this year. The four meals we received was average. The waitress forgot one order of fries and the other order we didn’t receive. The waitress was pleasant and did remove fries from bill.

Great food in large portions. My son had the turkey pretzel sandwich and my husband had the stuffed chicken breast (huge portion!) with great seasoned potatoes. I had breakfast and the corned beef hash was perfect.
This place used to be a Mels diner and they’ve upgraded it to a nice 24hr diner. Nice job :)

Buen lugar para desayunar en familia buena manera de empesar el dia …

This place has great basic diner food. Don’t expect top-​tier restaurant food here… and you shouldn’t. It’s a diner folks. Have had great breakfast food with home fries that aren’t put in the frier or are shredded. They’re cooked on the flat top. Pot roast was good, as were the ribs my wife had. Also, we’ve not had a bad server yet. Always friendly and helpful.
Pros: very varied menu with something for everyone; food is good, service is good, prices reasonable.
Cons: (why I downgraded from 4 to 3 stars) usually, the dining room is uncomfortably warm, like they are trying to save on electricity, or not adjusting for heat load. Also, the only thing I’ve seen on their TV’s is one of those channels that poses as a news channel but is really a propaganda outlet. Not being political, just calling it as I see it.

Classic American diner. Good for breakfast, but nothing special. Pretty much what you would expect from a diner.

This will be the third time here. No complaints before so coming back again! Great breakfast special during the week! 2 eggs with home fries, toast & jelly for $ 1.99. Normally $ 4.99 on weekends. Love them deals!

Great greasy spoon breakfast diner. It’s exactly what we needed in the area. Nothing crazy, just good food, good portions at a more than reasonable price. I haven’t tried anything other than breakfast and not sure that I would…

I am surprised to see all the recent bad reviews for this diner. All I can say is, people, this is a diner, set your expectations and make your food selections with that in mind.
We had a solid breakfast here, omelets, bacon, french toast, scrambled eggs, ham, home fries, dry toast, etc. Everything was good and cooked as ordered and our waitress was notably pleasant and friendly.
I would go out of my way to come here over the travesty that is Mel’s Diner.

This is a 5 star DINER! They have large portions for a great price. All of the bread is made in-​house and is wonderful.
Don’t come here and order a steak, and expect the Capital grill, as this is not a steak house! But it is a good piece of meat for the price.
A large variety of items to choose from if you can’t decide what your in the mood for or have a large party to please. I love the breakfast menu! I’ve tried almost every item and it is all very good.
Nothing fancy, just a good, home cooked meal. Great wait staff, and more than reasonable prices!

There were a couple of bad reviews for this restaurant over the last few days and I can see why. This was our first time visiting this place and I don’t think we will be back. It started out good — the waitress came and took our drink orders right away. She seemed very attentive but that didn’t last long. She told us she would bring a basket of rolls but they never arrived. Our salad plates sat on the table even after our main courses arrived. I had to flag her down because she brought a refill of the wrong soda. No apology — and she never once asked us how our food was. Only the soda was ever refilled. None of the rest of us ever got a water or tea refill.
The food was only ok. The menu is big and I’m sure some things on their must be good but they weren’t the items we chose today. I had the roast lamb special. The lamb had obviously been cooked several days prior and just reheated — it was very dry and crispy on the edge. There was no seasoning at all on it and they had topped it with some beef gravy. The potatoes were oven roasted Greek style and were ok. The ranch dressing on the salad tasted sour and «off». One of my companions had a «chicken parmesan panini» which was a fried chicken patty with a slice of ham and some cheese melted on it. No sauce and nothing on the bread like mayo or mustard. My other companion had the meatloaf that had obviously been sitting under the lights for a while before it was served because the gravy had a skin on top. The mashed potatoes were real and the meatloaf was good.
It’s disappointing since the place has a lot of potential, but with bad service and not very good food I don’t expect it to be around long.

We are only giving it one star as you have to assign something. Horrible service here for breakfast had to get up and ask for more coffee. Ordered eggs Benedict pretty much a staple of breakfast mine came out dark yellow like it was under the lights for too long. Potatoes had no flavor either crispy half cooked and blackish around edges like peaked and left out of water pretty tasteless would never recommend going here stay on 41 south go to Bonita and find old 41 diner at least it is great food !

Glad I tried it again! This time we had a special — Chicken Francese. For only $ 12.99 you get a huge portion, definitely enough for two, plus a cup of soup and 2 sides. Tender and delicious. Will definitely come back.

Terrible. Just terrible. I got the gyro sandwich, thinking that since they had a Greek selection it’d be a good choice. The gyros my high school cafeteria served were seriously better. My wife got the prime rib (medium). What I’m thinking made the food take FOREVER to come out was they were busy overcooking the hell outta my wife’s meal. Oh and she ordered broccoli and cole slaw as sides. Cole slaw never showed and the broccoli was literally ONE STALK. Granted it was a good sized stalk of broccoli but it was just sad. She said it was mushy.
The waitress seemed annoyed that I bothered to come to this restaurant. I will never come back here and neither should you.

We dined outside. We were first sat inside then decided to move out to enjoy the day. The staff accommodated happily. We ordered the sampler appetizer and two sandwiches. I loved the sweet corn hush puppies! I had never had them before but that’s something I’d definitely return for. Ham and swiss melt on pretzel bun was good but next time I think I’ll order something different. Also they didn’t have any alcohol but the nice server told us was coming, so I’ll be returning!

Great menu selection. opens 24 hrs. Had roast leg of lamb n oven roasted potatoes, it was good nothing special but rare to see lamb at a diner plus the price. He had baked pork chops with mashed potatoes n lima beans. According to him, chops were a bit overcooked n lima beans undercooked (I thought lima beans were perfect but I like crunchy veggies).
Modern décor and clean. Our waitress was slow and absent minded at least she tried.
Too full to try desserts but it looked good and again lots to choose from.

If I lived in the area, I know where I’d be going for a after a late night out. Great value, good food and best of all… opened ²⁴⁄₇! It’s worth a stop. Great food for Family Type Diner. Nextime, I’m coming for breakfast.

We sat down in this new diner at 10:30 am ish. We were presented the breakfast menu. Since it was a ²⁴⁄₇ diner, I was expecting a menu with all courses of the day. However, when we did ask for a lunch menu, it was happily presented to us.
The place was very nice. Home with a modern feel. There is also outside seating to those who prefer that.
I ordered the Italian Panini, and my boyfriend ordered the Smokehouse Burger. Along with it came potato chips, coleslaw, and a pickle. However we each replaced the potato chips for french fries ($ 1.25 ish each).
The food was great, but the french fries were AMAZING! It was crispy, but potato like in the inside… how it should be. It was very good though.
Everyone there were very kind. Our server was Brenda, and she gave great, honest suggestions.
I would recommend this place to families, tourists, college students… anyone. Definitely returning! We plan to stop by in a few hours to grab milkshakes!

This establishment has been open for 3 weeks. Brought my out of town guests here not knowing exactly where we were going for dinner. So we saw «grand opening» and «open 24 hours»!!! Ahhhhh! Just like home in NJ. It’s a lovely diner. Nicely decorated. Wonderful service!!! The food was very tasty! I got the Greek combo of moussaka, pasticchio, and spanikopita. The Greek salad was awesome. Loaded with feta and also had anchovies and dolmitas. Some of my food was not heated through enough, but still yummy!!! It wasn’t worth it to me to send it back to be reheated. Everyone enjoyed their food very much. The selection is huge, are the portions!!! Prices are very reasonable!!! Will definitely be back!!! Looking forward to trying breakfast!!!
Owners ran diners in PA. Sold them and moved down here. Lovely people. Come on in and give them your business!!!

Ordered the 2 eggs, meat, home fries and toast special for $ 5.99. Received 4 hearty pieces of bacon. Great portions at a great value. You can tell everything is homemade. Check it out!
