Central Diner is a charming spot for breakfast lovers looking for comfort food. I stopped by for a quick brunch, and the cozy atmosphere made me feel right at home. The pancakes were a delightful surprise - fluffy and light, paired perfectly with crispy bacon. I also tried their hash browns, which were golden and delicious. The staff were exceptionally friendly, providing attentive service. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a hearty meal without breaking the bank. Can’t wait to return! 🍽️
