In town for a convention. The diner is only a couple blocks away from convention center. Great service, delicious food, huge menu, large portions.
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.
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.
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
