Review by Alexis

November 16, 2024

The DINER is the perfect spot for a hearty breakfast! I had the chocolate chip buttermilk pancakes, and they were fluffy heaven on a plate. The hashbrown bowl was a delightful mix of flavors, seasoned just right.

While the decor is a bit faded, it adds to the cozy charm. Service was friendly, though a tad slow, but that’s fine when you're enjoying good food.

Definitely a nice stop for a casual brunch experience. I can’t wait to return! 🍳
