    Eggs Benedict

    Loved it! Great coffee, breakfasts came out great and eggs Benedict was pretty good, wish we'd had room cuz the pies looked awesome. Huge restaurant with plenty of seating, perfect for breakfast.

    The Four Bridges Panini Sandwich and chili
    Nancy L.

    This diner was open until midnight which was why we went there for dinner. Damien was our server and he did a great job working his half of the room. Quite a few people eating later in the evening. They also serve alcohol. Menu was pretty huge. The diner was nice and clean. My husband was happy with his chicken and bacon panini. He had a cup of chili which was just right. I ordered the beef stroganoff cup of soup and it looked and tasted like vegetable beef soup with a couple of noodles. The soup was not at all what I expected. I also ordered a chicken salad sandwich. The chicken salad had way too much mayonnaise. I also couldn't taste anything but onions. This sandwich was really disappointing. I picked at it but I really couldn't eat it. The desserts looked amazing in the glass case. I would definitely come again and try something else on the menu.

    Hope this place last forever! Breakfast is perfect! I got the Special and quickly realized I had more than I could eat ...ate it anyway... delicious! Wife got the junior plate and helped with my pancakes! Service was quick we had coffee and tea almost immediately! The Cafe looks like a retro style cafe dinner bright and happy! We were staying at a local hotel and the price here beat there's, and the experience was priceless! I recommend highly... you have nothing to lose and you certainly need a taste of the way things used to be!

    Cordon bleu panini

    First time coming to City Cafe Diner and will be our last. Honestly wasn't impressed with any part of our experience from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. First off, the host comes off incredibly rude. Doesn't seem like a pleasant guy to be around at all. I think he may be the manager or owner of the restaurant cause he went to the back and was barking orders at the staff a couple times during our visit. Definitely was off put by his demeanor, I don't think he should be working in customer service at all. Or be managing anyone because I'm sure the staff hate him. Also, our server Nolan seemed like an ok guy but he rarely came to check on us and even forgot to input my sisters appetizer order. When we asked about it he said he'd check on it but they didn't even receive the food until we were done eating our main course. Not to mention the potato wedges looked dry and just had cheese thrown on top and most likely melted in the microwave. Poor guy probably hates his job. Their menu is so big, you can easily get lost in the options. And I don't mean that in a good way. Typically when restaurants can't focus on a main theme for their menu offerings I'd bet that means most of the food is frozen and just heated up if ordered. The quality is typically lacking as well, which was the case with our meals. My husband got the cordon bleu panini, I tried their four bridges panini and my son wanted to try their fettuccine Alfredo. I think between my husband and I, the fries were the star of our dishes. My son seemed to like his meal though. My sister got their eggs benefit and her husband got the monte cristo which he said wasn't all that great. Just based on our first visit I cannot recommend anyone trying this establishment. Not only was the food lacking, but the manager and service could also severely improve.

    Debbie and I had a delicious breakfast this morning at the City Cafe Diner in Chattanooga. I enjoyed the classic eggs benedict and home fries while Debbie tried their banana pecan pancakes.this place is quite a change from their old location, much larger and more modern.

    Deluxe Combo Philly on a wrap
    Kayla M.

    We popped in on a Friday evening around 9 while on the road to Atlanta and it did not disappoint. It was a steady flow of families entering but it was never too packed inside. The customer service was phenomenal. Every question asked was answered. Every thing that we requested was quickly provided. 2 managers were present and they both checked in to ensure all was well. According to our server, each cook has worked with them for 10+ years and you can tell! The Philly on a wrap came out hot hot and tasty! The cakes....must get at least two slices. The red velvet and Oreo did not disappoint! I'd recommend this as a casual dining experience that's quick and so tasty!

    This restaurant is the best! Full of very colorful people (literally)! The people next to us went to a high school football game where they came covered in multicolored chalk. The food is delicious and the diner is open 24 which makes it a perfect spot for a late night snack

    Need to update site here, Armando's is closed. Scottie B's (burgers, sandwiches) is now there…read more Other Armando's shops around town--the best one is on E. Brainerd Road.

    So this is a diner type restaurant that you might not even know what you're looking at until you…read moresee it. There's no flashy sign or anything like that. It does look a little rundown but when you get in there, you want me to disappointed. Well I can only speak for myself but I wasn't disappointed at all. I stood at the front counter, and ordered from the menu which is up above. Don't expect any signage, this is old school diner style after all. Gloria took my order, she was patient as I looked on the menu to see what I wanted, so I have no complaints. She was super nice! They weren't really anybody else in the establishment so I was able to sit down wherever I wanted to. I ordered a burger and fries and a water and had a seat. And while I was sitting there there was a TV that let me watch some recaps of the NBA playoffs. Anyway, the burger was really good. It came out quick, the fries came out hot and fresh. They're more like potato wedges but that's perfectly okay! The burger itself was made with what seem like fresh ingredients, onions and tomatoes and all that. I have no complaints about that. Now there's no other condiments on the table though. So she gave me a bottle of ketchup and then I had to ask for mayonnaise. So usually you would have a self-serve place that would have a condiment bar or already have it at the table so it was interesting that they didn't have anything like that for a burger spot but that's not the end of the world. The quality of the burger was good. Would I go back, absolutely! The burger was good and filling, all the vegetables crunched, the fries came out removed grease on them so you know that came straight out to fryer, Burger Patty was pretty decently seated. Good fine, kind of a hole in the wall type of situation but you know those hole in the wall situations have the best food.
