The slaw was nicely vinegary and flavorful, the chips quite decent. The Shepherd's pie was a tad salty but presented in a disciplined, nicely layered way, with a mix of the mash, ground beef, and peas. The flavoring was rich, yet subtle.

And said my daughter was not allowed and kicked us out. It was before 10pm and I specifically called and asked for my daughter to come and was told it was no problem. The rest of the place and my and my friends were having such a good time. The drunk owner was so rude and ruined the night. Don't go here. The guy is the worst. One guy can really ruin the whole place. The rest of the staff was awesome.

Worse Diner by far. Hash omelette was dry and tasteless. We were wondering why Mimi kept pushing the fruit bowl on us? Turns out their fruits were rotting and they wanted to make extra $6 before throwing out the entire batch. How dare you serve that to my family....shame on you!!! The other waitress doesnt speak English at all, she had to consult with someone else to clarify that we needed more napkins. BTW, it's CASH ONLY!!! No where is there proper signage, but we're to assume not all places take plastic in this day and age! Go figure? My grilled cheese sandwich was made with American cheese, not the cheddar like ALL other diners, but again, i'm to assume the rest of the world doesnt operate that way! Im not sure how this place got the rating they have...i'm sure it's shady like their ATM (cash only) scam! Avoid at all cost....We're going back to the other 8-10 local diners that outweighs this place on a bad day!!! You FAILED CLASSIC CAFE!!! Grade: F- read more

When I first saw her go back behind the counter after sitting there playing with her, writing things down, sipping her coke and talking to an elderly man customer. She walked right behind that counter and just started preparing food. NO GLOVES!!!!! She then drove a customer home (very nice of her) but she came back and started food immediately... at least she put on gloves this time. When she made my food, she reached right into the container of walnuts (NO GLOVES) and sprinkled some into the pancake batter. I don't remember seeing a grade in the window. Health dept probably never goes by! I'm sure this is fine for cooking at home for your family, but disgusting when you're serving the public. I felt like I was gonna throw up the whole time.
