City Limits Diner and Pancake House

We loved our brunch here today. We were greeted and say promptly with a smile, and the host took and delivered our drink orders as well. It was a busy Sunday morning, but our server was friendly and prompt. The portions were large and the food was really good. The kids loved their chocolate chip pancakes, bacon and sausage. My omelet with jalapeños, tomatoes and avocado was even better than I expected: spicy, cheesy and huge! Ditto on my husband’s entrée. Coffee was piping hot and refilled regularly. 4 meals and drinks = $ 28. Score! If this is consistent, City Limits Diner is going to become our go to spot.

The food is typical diner food, and it’s near my folks, so we popped in for breakfast. The omelettes are huge! Everything tasted fresh and there are many, many options for any breakfast item you want.
I have to mention the staff here. So friendly, filling up coffee, cracking jokes with my Dad, and I saw a waitress sitting in a booth, helping an elderly patron fill out some forms regarding transportation around town.
That, was enough to make me tip 30%, and go back again and again just to reward kindness.

Best breakfast in Saline. Fresh homemade food. Love the Eggs Benedict! Staff in friendly and attentive!

Decent, high back booths, a bit dated, coffee generic, small seating area, good for 4 only, staff 2 stars, got breakfast, simple and filling

Nice local spot in Saline. Staff took excellent care of me.
I enjoyed the hearty barley soup. The person who made this knows what s/​he is doing; probably the tastiest I’ve had. Then I had the veggie scramble and added cut up sausage and bacon FTW. Blasphemy for the vegetarians. Screw them. I want dead meat!
I’ll come back to try more. Recommend! This is a place for normal folk. No hipster douchebags here. Just good food.

Been coming here for a few years, and more so since the Saline Inn burned down. Food is good, and up to today, service has been satisfactory. Was seated and provided drinks and menu. 15 minutes later, I walked up to the counter and asked (nicely) if my server would be coming by. A few employees were there, and one said «yes». I mentioned I’d been waiting for 15 minutes. A curt response «I’m coming». Not a response I expected. No apology from anyone. We left without ordering. I’m sure I’ll be going back as food and service are fine most of the time. Maybe next time the mood will be better.

Great food — dirty place
I love the menu selection! Now update the interior, clean the floors and bathroom, train the wait staff, put up proper partitions between prep and dining areas, and this would be a nice place to eat.
We won’t be back unless we see some updates happen. Sticky divy diner place that is worse than any coney island I’ve come across. I was worried about the quality of the food but we were pressed for time and out of options.
The food was great! I had one of the Benedict selections and my hubs had crepes. Great food! I hope they clean up the rest.

Great gyro omelette! They are true angels with excellent service and attention to detail. They messed up one of my orders but got it right the next time, and also got it right another time I came in, but I forgave them and enjoyed the atmosphere. There is a classic Americana feel here in this small diner, and I personally love it. They have big portions which are appropriate for what you pay. There is also a great selection of toppings for the omelettes.

I’ve only been here for breakfast, and I’ve always liked it.
A bonus: it’s not as greasy as the OTHER breakfast place in town that I also love!

Lots of food for little price. Who doesn’t like omlettes, eggs, cinnamon toast, and fresh fruit? Gyros are good. Only open for breakfast and lunch.

I wish I could find even one thing good to say about this place, but I can’t. The food wasn’t good, the prices were high, the service was lousy and the booth we sat in had food on the seats. I ordered one of their $ 8+ ‘skillets’ that was supposed to have ‘home fries’ in it, which to me means chunks of crispy potatoes. The home fries turned out to be raw mashed up potatoes, and when I asked the waitress about it, she said, ‘Oh, that’s how we make our home fries…’ O.k., but cold & raw? Also, the mushrooms in it were canned and rubbery and the broccoli was old and brown. I ended up eating the toast and eggs from the top of the ‘skillet’, and left the rest. When I told the waitress about it, she didn’t seem concerned or ask if I wanted anything else; she just took the plate away & eventually told me the manager had deducted 10% of my order (roughly .85) to compensate. I told her I didn’t eat most of it, but would pay for the eggs and toast I had, but was told the manager said ‘No’, and the most they would take off was .85 and my husband’s coffee. So we ended up paying almost $ 20 for what little we ate. (My husband’s breakfast was edible, although he said the pancakes weren’t very good.) If the manager would have stepped over, apologized, and removed even half of my meal, I would have been o.k. with it, but there was no excuse for treating us this way. I would definitely not recommend this place; we would have been better off at McDonalds.

I eat breakfast here with my parents often. Very friendly staff. Typical greasy spoon. Good value. Fresh fruit in place of hash browns and pancakes for toast. Yum

Really enjoyed breakfast here. My husband and I moved to Saline a few years ago and this was our first time in. He had french toast and I had an omlette. It came with fresh fruit and raisin toast and everything tasted great. The waitress was very fast and attentive always making sure we had everything we needed and making sure there was always coffee in my cup. Look forward to going back and so fortunate to have so many great places in our home town :)

I eat here a couple times a month. I use it also as a meeting place for business occasionally.
Food is consistently good whether you order breakfast or lunch. I like the skillets at breakfast and I love the gyros or wraps at lunch.

I’ve been here several times for breakfast and lunch. Just an ordinary little diner where you can get all the American staples, and a few surprises, like the chicken quesadilla. Should have ordered that today, but I went with a chicken salad sandwich. Decent-​sized portions.
Decent prices, too. If you order from the specials list, a sandwich, fries or onion rings + side salad or soup will set you back $ 6.
They are NOT open for dinner. Only breakfast and lunch.
This is the kind of place where everybody waves to each other when someone they know shows up. Saline is a small town, and you get to know folks here.
An update:
I went back about a week later and tried the chicken quesadilla lunch special. Bland! But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’ll stick with the stuff they do best — regular, «American diner» sandwiches. Maybe next time, I’ll get the gyro sandwich.
The young ladies that work here as wait staff are real sweet on one of our neighbors, who is a regular. They fuss over this old guy like you wouldn’t believe. I find that touching, that they are so friendly.

Everything about this place was average. Average food. Average waitstaff. Average wait time. Average prices. The food portions were a bit more than we expected though. Nice, big, Midwest hungry man plate sizes. We ordered a little bit of everything for breakfast. Good biscuits and gravy. Good ham. Good sausage. Good bacon. Pancakes weren’t the greatest. Eggs were a little undercooked for our taste. Light and buttery and fluffy, they just could have been left on a minute longer. But again. Everything tasted like it should. A decent place to go if you’re hungry. Not great food but not bad either. Average. You will leave feeling full and good about yourself and life and that’s all that really matters anyway, isn’t it?

A good greasy spoon. Nothing special, but dependable for decent food and good service.
