The food quality is terrible when Gus isn't the cook. Some of the food was overcooked and then other ones like pancakes were undercooked in some parts. I had egg shell in my eggs... how. When Gus is not around it seems like it's a hangout club for the regulars. The hangout part isn't a bad thing at all, I find it to be a bad thing when the waitress is yelling through the diner about VERY inappropriate things. I do not plan on going back if I see either of them running the show. I am very disappointed with my last few experiences here. It's a shame to see a place that means so much to people slowly start to decline.

It's a seat yourself kind of place so we found our way to the back and found a table. The server come over shortly after and took our order.

The ambiance is very dated and due for a renovation.

I started the day with a toasted bagel with cream cheese. I thought it was going to be jalapeno cream cheese but it ended up being cream cheese topped with jalapenos. Okay, different but still good. Lunch was a ham and cheese sandwich that was nicely loaded and served with fabulous kettle chips. Filling and inexpensive. Wifi worked well and the place was quiet enough all day that I was able to work easily. A few Zoom calls here and there, comfortable. I would absolutely return to Dam Cafe.

What I saw made me loss my appetite- *cook would text, and then handle precooked and cooked food without washing hands or even wiping off hands. *also would rub face and then go back to handing food that was being platted up *not once did I see him wash his hands. Closest to cleaning hands was wiping hands on sides of dirty apron. Which only would happen from time to time.

FIFTIES DINER We have been going to the Fifties Diner for…read moremany years and have always enjoyed it, but today's breakfast was the best we've ever had. I ordered the Fifties Diner Special, which came with 2 eggs, sausage, bacon, home fries, rye toast, and two pancakes. Everything was excellent. The home fries arrived hot, the eggs were cooked perfectly over easy, the bacon was crisp, and the sausages were large and flavorful. The rye toast was already buttered, which was a nice touch. The pancakes were especially impressive--fluffy, moist, and served with four soft butter pats and plenty of syrup. The coffee was served in the classic old-fashioned white restaurant mugs, which added to the diner's nostalgic charm. My wife ordered the meat omelet, and it did not disappoint. It was huge, packed with meat, hot, cheesy, and cooked perfectly. The food, service, and overall experience were outstanding.
