A review about Gordon's by me is long overdue. So here goes: This little gem of a diner has been…read moreserving the "Best Hamburgers on the World Since 1948" - now I know that sounds like a claim that might be hard to live up to since people have their own ideas about what the best is. So to clarify, if you like a smash burger done on a flat grill, while you sit at the "bar" and watch the magic, and love fresh hot shoestring fries, and a soda with a consistently accurate post-mix, the you really need to try Gordon's. Make sure you have cash or use their helpful ATM. Service is fast and friendly, atmosphere is the true diner experience and never is heard a discouraging word. I highly recommend Gordon's Stoplight Drive-In. Actually it's more like a "walk-up" to the outside order window, and you can grab one of their pic-nic tables outside when the weather is nice. *****

Perfect legit smash burger. Crispy edges, melting American cheese, simple bun. Delicious.read more

Dave's Diner is all about that old time service that you don't see that much these days. The staff…read moreis friendly and make you feel important. The food is made in front of you, the tables are always clean and the coffee is amazing! Always look on the board in back to check out the daily specials, and up to 10 different homemade pies ( there are sugar free options too!) We usually order the smoked pork chop with hash browns and eggs. The place is usually open 24 hours a day, so anyone looking for a non- Dennys or IHOP option after a night of partying, go there! The food is delicious, and signs on the wall will give you chuckles.

The service is "ignore until they flag you down." Food is alright, better than average for diners in the area with prices that are very reasonable. I prefer a burger as the meat of a slinger. They use sausage patties. The chili is perfect and the server/chef sent out over medium and easy eggs cooked to perfection. The ice tea is STRONG. Had to ask for a refill. Again, you'll get ignored. I tried some of the filling of the pie--it was just average. This place is clearly a mainstay for South County. I think it's worth coming at least once, but I have to say: I got some looks. It was like people needed to see and hear me speak fluent, accent-less English. Just keep that in mind.

The hash browns were under cooked and had the texture of lumpy mashed potatoes and the bacon was virtually raw. My meal was not any better. I ordered a chili cheese burger with fries. What I got was a plate full of what tasted like 3 day old chili with a small bun right in the middle of the plate. When I dug through the chili to find the burger I found one that was paper thin with the texture of a piece of soggy cardboard. I don't know if there was any fries under all that chili. It tasted terrible, there was no cheese anywhere. The restaurant looked as if it hadn't been cleaned for weeks. The waitress/ cashier was rude and obnoxious. The cook was a mess and probably never learned how to cook. Never again

Needless to say this 1/2 chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy and mixed vegetables and chef salad was absolutely not the answer. The chicken was fried the day before, she called they said they did not fry chicken today. The potatoes and gravy seemed very old also. This meal was 20.00 and went into the trash.

Okay, it's safe to say that I am a fan of Polly's Diner and will continue to visit. Last weekend,…read morewhen I woke up, I was not in the mood to make breakfast. Instead, I wanted someone else to cook for me and I knew just the place! I suggest to my hubby that we visit Polly's Diner and he was all for it! When we arrived, we had to park out in the back (I really hope the parking lot can be updated or repaired in the future becuase right now, it's so bad), but that's not going to stop me! When we walked inside, we were greeted right away and they had a table available, so we were seated quickly! Our server was already offering coffee and water to us which was perfect. She gave us time to check the menu and since I already knew what I wanted, I helped my hubby make a decision since so many items were on his list. He eventually ordered the western skillet and I ordered the strawberry pancakes which I could not wait to eat! While we waited for our food, the server(s) on the floor were checking in with us and chatting with us ehile they refilled our coffee. Once the food arrived, I was so ready to dig in! My pancakes were topped with strawbery glaze and so many strawberries, I knew I would not be able to finish, but that didn't stop me from trying. I did eventually need to ask for a box and broght them home for later. My hubby said that the skillet was really good and had all his favorite food items included. It was such a good breakfast and honestly, for the price, we know we were fed well. Once we were done, we went to the counter to pay and were on our way. Polly's Diner is just a cute little Fenton restaurant and I am so glad that we have it so close to the house. I already plan to go again later this week!
