We are from out of town, and we had a wonderful, filling breakfast this morning at City Café Diner. We only waited 10 minutes before being seated (not bad for a Sunday at 10:30AM). The hostess and waitress were attentive and friendly. My son and I each ordered the "breakfast special" which had a variety of items all delicious (pancakes with either fruit or chocolate chips), 3 eggs (cooked perfectly), grits, home fries, sausage, and bacon, all for $12.95! We added some great coffee and oj. What a deal!!!! I would return in a heartbeat! Great job, City Café Diner!!!
And don't forget to leave room for dessert! I've never seen so many cakes, pies and cheesecakes offered under one roof! The food was very good-plenty to select from-all wait staff was very friendly!
Some of the worst food I've had for dinner and the higher diner prices make you think it would be way better. Started with wings which weren't tossed in sauce but drenched in them so couldn't really taste the wing itself. Stupidly I got manicotti which was drenched in generic tasteless, watery sauce. It had so much cheese on top I could barely see the noodles. The ricotta was very bland and the noodles were not good at all. My wife had the chicken chipotle panini, which I figured you can't screw up, nope it was so dry and just really tasteless. We got the Reese cheesecake to go which is basically all regular cheesecake with a very thin peanut butter tip, it was pretty good. Overall i think the large menu leads to very rushed and not well prepared meals.
The diner is a throwback to the 50's with neon lights, and old style decorations. They have a variety of foods for most pallets. I had the Reuben Sandwich which was very good. The fries were nice and crispy. They have a variety of desserts, but I was too full to take advantage of those. The place does a lot of carry out and door-dash deliveries so paying at the register took a little time as there is only one station to handle all that, but the wait wasn't too bad.
This was my first time going to the City Cafe Diner, and it was amazing! The blueberry pancakes were so delicious!! The pancakes were cooked perfectly with fresh blueberries inside of them. My wife had a patty melt with home-made fries.I can't wait to go back and try lunch and dinner menu items.
I ate both breakfast and lunch here on different days. Both meals were excellent. The breakfast consisted of eggs, country ham, and whole wheat toast. Beware, the dessert case at the front of the restaurant is amazing. They offer a large variety of pies and cakes which are large.
Amazing food. Great atmosphere and service! Food was fantastic and took a lot less time to get out than I would've expected!! They're cakes we're so huge-unfortunately. This place has LITERALLY EVERYTHING from around the globe. It was all good!!! We'll definitely be back!!!
Breakfast dishes were par for the course. Dinner entrees were poor for the course. Overcooked tasteless flounder with overcooked veggies. Broiled salmon came out with a long black hair draping it. Then took 20 minutes for substitute. Way over salted- again with mushy vegetable side. No reason to go back except possibly for pancakes.
Great restaurant that I will return to. Their portions are ginormous!!!! (Big). Real big The food had an awesome taste. I would stay away from home fries. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 was the service. They could have done a little better. Drinks are $3.15
We have been here several times for breakfast as well as dinners. This place is always buzzing which in itself is testimonial to its success. This diner has a very extensive menu including a huge selection of desserts especially cakes! Portions are huge! The staff are always kind and swift to seat us and as soon as diners get up to leave, the tables are quickly cleared, cleaned and made ready for the next diner! Our orders are always promptly served. We will keep coming back
