Diner: Rebekah and Melissa provide professional, top-notch service and Geets is lucky to have them both. They are knowledgeable about the menu/specials, extremely personable and pleasant, and quick and efficient. I look forward to seeing them and they're one of the reasons I keep coming back week after week.
Geets diner hits on all the main reasons I love a diner: huge menu, copious servings, and friendly service. The place is clean, and the lighting is great. The bathrooms always look maintained. There's a huge counter section and 2 different spaces with tables and booths. There's enough room for everyone, even on busy days. The atmosphere is relaxed and you can watch TV too, if you'd like.
The meal I am mostly coming in for is breakfast. The specials, which are available M-F from 7AM-11AM, are, quite frankly, the best value in town. You cannot beat Geets prices, especially considering what you get. But more importantly: the quality is A+ and the servers take care to make sure your plate is correct before they bring it to you. If you have not done so yet, check out their "customer appreciation" breakfast special. Two eggs, choice of meat, potatoes, toast, unlimited coffee, and a small juice. What would you pay for this? At Geets it is $10.65, which includes tax. Ask your server about substitutions too, because I know instead of "home fries" you can get fried potato cubes, grits, or even sliced tomatoes. It's good to have choices!
There's a reason Geets has been opened as long as they have. There's a reason it's a landmark. I feel confident that if you're within 20 miles of Geets, you've heard of it and have been there. If not, you need to go there now and experience it for yourself.
Lounge/Bar: for me, it's all about service. JoJo, Shayna, Lisa, Paul, and Frank - you're in good hands. They're proficient mixologists, they know the menu, and they're fast. You are getting stellar service with a smile.
The atmosphere is welcoming, too. There's a huge bar with plenty of TVs and the outside patio area is now enclosed, virtually doubling the bar/lounge area. What's been done with the space is refreshing to see. Once the double doors are opened, it's like one big bar and lounge with plenty of space for everyone. Booths and high-top seating complete the layout.
As with the diner, the lounge offers exceptional food and drink at great value. Happy hour is from 3:00PM-7:00PM M-F and the specials on food and drink are fantastic. It would be wise to check the website and/or Facebook because they have specials during the week that you should take advantage of, such as Thursday night pizza and Wednesday night half-priced wings. A huge plus is that the diner menu is available in the lounge too. Another reason to check online is there is often entertainment, such as trivia night and live music.
Whatever you're in the mood for regardless of time of day, Geets has something for you and you'll be glad that you went. See you there!
