Never again! Food is tolerable, but some wait staff is NOT!!! We've had 2 waitresses who are not friendly, Veronica and Jennifer, both are actually downright nasty, therefore we won't be returning.

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY AT ALL- Food was good, normal diner stuff, but they treat families like crap.
This time last year, I gave this diner 4 stars.
Today, I'm here to tell you a different story.
A large group, 6 adults and 9 kids went for dinner after gymnastics. The kids range in age from 2-7
We sit down at 6:40 pm. Place our drink and food order all at the same time, 6:47 pm.
We were not given crayons or anything for the kids. We were put in the back corner as it's the largest table.
No problem.
A few minutes later, I'm guessing one of the managers, comes over to ask us to move the kids to a different table because they had complaints that they were too loud. I'll be the first to admit we are a loud group, but I couldn't hear my friend on the other side of the table because the whole diner was very loud. I walked to the front and couldn't hear our table. I could hear the kid next to our table who was crying and screaming, but I digress.
We didn't move as we were not splitting our children up away from us, that's a recipe for disaster. So we went to the front. We asked for crayons and paper. We talked with the kids and they all calmed down from their excitement of eating together and for some of the kids it's their first time out since Covid started. This place however, believes kids should be seen and not heard, but wait... We're at a "family" diner, not the Ritz Carlton.
It's now 7:10 and we haven't received any drinks or the kids food yet. The table next to us, came after us, ordered after us, had their meals already. We still didn't even have water at the table.
7:15 one parent goes to find this manager guy to ask for bread and water because now we've been here for over 30 minutes and the kids are hungry and thirsty and we still have nothing.
7:22 the first meals come out. And it's not even all the kids meals, it's a mix of a few parents and a few kids. You telling me you couldn't bring out 5 plates of pancakes at the same time?!
Within 10 minutes (after 7:30) we now have drinks and food. The table that came after us, was getting their check already.
I've been going to this diner for years, well when it was under the old management. Are you telling me no one brings their kids out to eat anymore?
This is a diner. At dinner time.
Do not bring your family as they will treat you with disrespect. Go to the pizzeria up the street, they'll gladly serve your family.
