    There was a pretty good wait which is always a good sign for great food. I was alone so I sat at the bar and had zero wait. Shannon was my server and she was great. The good came out really fast and was really good I ordered the single biscuit and the potatoes with a side of sausage. Really good little breakfast spot!

    Big Scram Bowl (sub Green Peppers instead of Mushroom)/White Toast

    They do a LOT of things right, I've never had a bad experience here. BUT this time my Scram Bowl eggs were a little wet/runny for my personal taste. They must be short-staffed though because there was a long wait with lots of empty tables. Staff is very friendly though.

    Always great breakfast. Love the Scram Bowls - my go to that is full of flavor and a little spice to kick off the morning. They also had pumpkin pancakes for the season and they were the perfect flavor. Oh and the biscuits...feels like enjoying a home cooked meal at grandmas. Comfort is the word that comes to mind.

    chicken and waffle

    started off with some delicious hot cocoa...a little messy but very good! got the chicken and waffles it was good nothing too special about it though but also no complaints. they were pretty busy but service was still great!

Nice seats by the window to enjoy the neighborhood activity. The server was pleasant, attentive and helpful. I had a half order big biscuit. Eggs, has browns and a biscuit smothered in sausage gravy. It was delicious and I wouldn't have been able to eat the full order. Awesome place and very popular from what I could tell.

The City Diner is outstanding! They definitely have their locals and regular customers, but we're also welcoming to us as first timers. Our waitress was jovial and courteous, and answered all of our silly questions. My wife had a half order of biscuits and gravy. I had a double cheeseburger, which was enormous. Those patties are no joke. I would get a single next time. Thankfully, it did not come with fries or tots as that would've been entirely too much food. I could hardly finish it, and I was ravenous. We want to come back and try other things here. It will not take a long time before we return. My wife loved her biscuits and gravy, and she is from the south. The biscuits were pillowy, soft and flaky. We have found our divvy diner that we love. The City Diner opened in 1937. One taste of their food and you'll know why they've been around almost 90 years.

The sandwich came on this thick toast that was super crunchy, in a good way. The inside had Fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and some aioli that tied everything together without being too much. It wasn't greasy, just rich and satisfying. I had fresh fruit on the side, which I appreciated after that salty-savory hit from the sandwich. What surprised me was how filling it was. I wasn't hungry again for hours, but I didn't feel gross after eating it. The coffee was bottomless and good. The vibe inside was chill, cozy, kind of like hanging out in someone's artsy kitchen. The staff was friendly! I loved all the fresh flowers and artwork adorning the tables and bulletin board. It added a nice touch to the eclectic vibe.

    I am still genuinely befuddled at this Friday night dinner experience…read more I came in for a celebratory Hurricane since I'd heard these were great (and we loved their cocktails the last time) and a bite. The place was pretty empty which was unusual; the last time we came in I think was in December and it was slammed! It turns out they aren't serving alcohol right now (apparently an ownership change? I didn't get the full scoop) so that was the first let-down. So fine - I'll just have a bowl of the gumbo. For $29?! And some biscuits. The gumbo comes out in a cracked bowl with a cracked plate underneath and the 3 little crawfish on top are refrigerator cold. Granted, the actual gumbo was pretty solid with the right amount of heft and spice and depth, but even then the rice had some hard pieces in it like it was old. The biscuits aren't anything to write home about and the butter is just meh. I wouldn't spend my carbs there. On top of all that, the waitress literally couldn't be bothered that I existed. I had to pry to get a drink menu (which is when I found out they weren't serving any), I couldn't get any eye contact from her or any kind of friendliness, she asked me if I wanted them to "heat it up" when I told her about the crawfish, and then brought my bill when I hadn't even finished dinner without bothering to ask if I wanted any dessert. And on top of that, there was no mention at all about the dinner issues or any apology whatsoever. I don't need or want a meal comped but for over $40 for a bowl of gumbo and some biscuits (+ tax, tip, etc) I at least expect some acknowledgement or "hey, here's something nice we can do for you". We really enjoyed the last time we were here and this was a genuinely jarring experience compared to that. The place looks pretty rough right now - maybe this is one of those places that has the right vibe in the dark, but nothing felt right about it today, and I'm afraid I can't (won't) recommend it again.

Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and our food came out quickly. I ordered a turkey club while my dad got one as well, and unfortunately we both had the same issue. The turkey was on the dry side, and it was sliced much thicker than I personally prefer. I tend to like a thinner deli-style sliced turkey, so it just wasn't my favorite sandwich. My mom ordered one of the salads though, and honestly it looked better than my sandwich. It was loaded with fresh toppings, and she said the ranch was excellent. If I come back, I'd probably skip the sandwich altogether and give one of the salads a try. Overall, I can definitely appreciate what they're going for. The prices are fantastic, honestly unheard of in present day, and that's the main reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 3. It's a true local spot, and I wouldn't mind giving it another chance to try something different from the menu.
