    Outside of the retro diner.
    Lina C.

    This diner is adorable. Family owned & operated, said the waitress. Food was excellent. At her recommendation, my husband and I ordered the corned beef: I got the Reuben and he got the Grand Corned Beef sandwich. Our 11yo son got the 1/4 lb burger with cheddar and pickles, cooked medium well. We all shared a side of curly fries. It was a good amount of food & we had a half a sandwich left over. My son was happy there was a pickle in every bite.

    Chili Fries Special

    Fun diner! Their milkshakes are very thick (basically all ice cream), so the spoon is needed. I had the Oreo milkshakes and it had some delightful chunks of Oreo in it. The chili fries special with ground beef and onion was pretty filling- I took half home. They also have chocolate, strawberry and vanilla milkshakes as well. You probably only need the small size which is what I got. The power went out for about 30 minutes or so, so we had to wait to pay, but the server was so nice and kept us updated.

    Not far away from the store. Old school diner, cool and retro. Ordered carry out over the phone. Friendly and warm staff member took my order. I ordered a Turkey Rueben + onion rings, Grand diner Chicken pita (ranch side) + sweet potato fries, Greek salad + turkey burger with a fried over hard egg + curly fries. $58.83. Orders would take about 15 minutes to be ready. The styrofoam helps insulate the heat, however keep in mind all of your sandwiches, onion rings, fries, burger bun, pita and Rueben will be soggy after a carry out to your final location. The turkey burger, Greek salad, Turkey Rueben, sweet potato, curly fries tasted good. The onion ring batter is not my thing, panko and thick. Friendliest staff here, makes you feel most welcomed.

    This was my first time coming here. This diner is super cute and looks like an old school restaurant. The inside looks like a 50s Café if they have a jukebox in old school clocks, the milkshake we got was mostly ice cream so it wasn't our favorite. The cheese fries were absolutely amazingand so was the roast beef sandwich. We are looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other food that looks super delicious our waitress was very nice and helpful as well.

    Super cute 50's themed diner in Novi, MI. No frills, you get seated & serviced immediately. Staff were nice and food came out quick. Ordered chili cheese fries with it on the side. Chili had good flavor, super liquidy. Nacho cheese was mild, not overwhelming and on the thin side. The fries were thick though. I'm not a fan of steak fries but it wasn't bad all together Ordered a alider and despite its small size, it had big flavor. Wished i went with a bigger burger. Prices were quite decent.

    Corned beef hash with eggs

    This was a great diner experience. It's an original diner, and looks exactly as you'd expect. Black and white floors, counter stools, James Dean and Marilyn on walls and counters. I ordered corned beef hash and my friend had a vegetable omelette. Everything was excellent, cooked perfectly, and delicious. The coffee wasn't very hot, but it was an excellent breakfast and we'd go back in a heartbeat, if in the area.

    Counter service, 50s style!

    I got lost earlier this week and ended up in Michigan again. Diner close to my son's apt popped up on Yelp so here I am. Eggs bacon, biscuits and gravy were all top shelf. Service was also great. Very Michigan. Very friendly. If I get lost again, I am coming back. :)

    Very nice 50's style retro diner with good food at a very reasonable cost. We ended up at this business for a breakfast get together based on the positive YELP reviews and were not disappointed. The Menu offers a pretty wide variety of choices to include Eggs Benedict, skillets, omelets, eggs to order, pancakes, waffles and the list goes on and on. Our food for our first meal here was well Cooked with good taste and fairly large portion size. The other key item to note relative to the menu are their weekday breakfast specials which are extremely reasonable in my opinion, especially when compared to other breakfast joints in the area and their post Covid inflated prices. As an example, the two egg Grand Diner special with potatoes, choice of meat and toast was only $6.99. What a DEAL! Food aside, the service was friendly and prompt with excellent follow-up throughout the meal. Along these lines, the staff continuously refills your coffee cup throughout the meal without prompting which is a pet peeve of mine and something that all good restaurants should do but many fail at in this area. Relative to ambiance, I love the 50's Diners theme from their period correct table seating, counter seating, Old style Jukebox, and decor that added an element of fun to the dining experience where I halfway expected the Fonz to be walking through the door at any time! Ehhhhh! Overall, I was quite impressed with the business where I viewed the food as four stars in my mind but the value equation on their prices pushes this business into 5 star territory for me. If you are in the area looking for good food at a reasonable cost than Grand Diner is right up your alley and not to be missed.

    Classic diner spot. Haven't been here in over 6 years but the food was still good. Very classic diner menu & atmosphere as other reviews suggest. My friend loved the stuffed French toast & I enjoyed their crispy bacon. Service was very energetic and positive.
