    Off the frame turkey breast sandwich with lettuce  and tomato with mayo on toasted white bread with potato salad on the side
    Wendy S.

    This is my go to place when I want to good food and stay local. My favorites are the: The PD Breakfast Sandwich - egg, cheese and sausage bagel. $10.50 Flavors blend very well, and this is incredibly filling! Turkey Breast Sandwich - $16.00, which is sliced thinly and piled high in- house turkey breast with lettuce and tomato - comes with one side of fries, chips, cole slaw, or potato salad. I love this sandwich. It's huge and the turkey is in-house and tastes so good. This is my favorite sandwich! Roast Beef sandwich - $16.00 - thinly sliced in-house roast beef with a nice red center with lettuce and tomato. I also enjoy it in a wrap. The roast beef is sliced so thinly it's delicious. Tuna Melt - Tuna served hot, with American cheese on grilled rye bread. They make a darn good tuna melt. Better than Lester's in my opinion as the the tuna is warm, not cold, with the cheese melt. We all love this place. From the omelets to burgers to the eggs and more. The hostess is always smiling and nice. The servers are always prompt and check back on you. They are always pleasant and and it's always enjoyable to go there.

    I've been here in the past for breakfast and absolutely loved it so when my mom asked me if I wanted to meet here, I said sure. I got a roast beef wrap and a matzoh ball soup and unfortunately, they just didn't taste that great. I can't put my finger on it exactly, but the roast beef just wasn't great and the soup didn't have much flavor. I didn't take home any leftovers, and that's not like me. The lady that took care of us was super sweet and I had no issues there, but I just didn't like the food. Maybe it's just better for breakfast.

    Stopped in here for breakfast. Service was prompt. Chose to sit outside as I had my dog. The specials were listed inside only. The waitress was friendly. I ordered the chicken sandwich as I saw someone having it. My partner had the brisket Benedict. The chicken came with a biscuit and a spicy sauce on the side. It was a fried chicken breast. It was ok a bit boring with no other sides. The biscuit was decent, mismatched sizes. I would return to try something else.

    I was recommended to try this place from a friend since I was in the area. Normally I'd give a 4 star for dinners if there good, but there Pastrami Benedict bumped up the rating with me! Service was spot on. Everyone was friendly. The place was packed with plenty parking available. Nose level was lower than expected with all the tables full. A normal conversation is easily done. Outside seating available.

    After relocating to the neighborhood recently, this diner is walking distance from me. I finally decided to give it a try. There is plenty of parking though as it's located in a large shopping center. We got seated at a table inside for breakfast. I got the eggs bene with house potatoes or something and my wife got a bacon omelet with hash browns. We also got the lemon blueberry pancakes to share. My bene was fine. Nothing special but solid. The potatoes were good but totally unexpected. No chewing involved cause they were so soft like they came out of a stew. Unfortunately, the omelet was terrible. It was super thin and likely because of that way overcooked. Just rubbery and gross. On the other hand, the pancakes were great and I didn't even need the syrup with it. A total mixed experience but I couldn't quite justify a higher rating when something as basic as an omelet is botched. We would come but avoid that part of the menu. Service was fine. Prices were typical for a breakfast diner.

    The Plantation Diner is located in the Plantation Towne Square Plaza. They have been serving up homestyle food since 1989 and have become a beloved Plantation landmark. Diners are as American as apple pie and love their budget friendly, extensive menus so when I saw this one in Plantation I decided to stop for lunch. The inside is comfortable with retro nods like a classic black and white interior, vintage clocks and photographs, a green stamp wall hanging, Coke memorabilia, and a take a book area near the front. There are benches and tables and chairs to dine at inside the dining room or you can eat outside. The Plantation Diner is known for their big portions and daily specials. The menu features a breakfast menu with eggs and omelets, mimosas and bloody Mary's, griddles and pancakes, oatmeal, avocado toast, quinoa bowls, and sandwiches and wraps. The lunch menu offers deli sandwiches and wraps, melts, club sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs, hot lunch platters, and salads. I decided on the roast beef melt for lunch. It came with a pickle and fries. The sandwich was so large that I had to take half home. I wish I had left room for dessert. On the day I visited they were offering a German Chocolate cake and brownie and berry crumb pies. Service was fast and welcoming and portions are large and a good value. This is a dependable place to get a great breakfast or lunch.

    Biscuits and Homemade Sausage Gravy

    Today was my first time visiting this diner. When I arrived, it was busy and there were two ladies seating people from the waitlist and one lady checking people out. I asked the ladies crossing off names if they could add me to the list and they told me I had to wait in the checkout line. I get to the front of the checkout line and the lady looks at me annoyed that there should be two lines. Super weird first impression. Our server was nice and efficient. I ordered the pastrami Rachel, it did not come with 1000 island (as it says on the menu) so I had to ask them to bring me a side. My friend ordered the biscuits and gravy, which he thoroughly enjoyed. When we were ready to check out and pay for our tab, he noticed there was an extra $11 charge on our bill. Thankfully, the cashier went over to our server and asked her what the confusion was. At this point, the two older ladies were questioning where the cashier went? The cashier returned, realized it was an overcharge, took it off our bill, and then proceeded to say under her breath that she hopes that she will be relieved soon because she has to use the facilities. If you want a quick bite to eat, the food is good. The restaurant looked clean and it has old vintage decor. However, the front of the restaurant needs to be run a little more efficiently and the three women would benefit from a course in teamwork.

    Hot Open Roast Beef
    Jimi J.

    Such an old-time diner feel when you walk in...the hostess is too loud, the floor people are moving too fast and the chatter resonating from the patrons is over the top...I love it! The service was great, everyone was nice and everyone was steadily working to tend to everyone. Super clean, simple, an old-time diner setting that is welcoming...and the smells from the kitchen made me hungrier and hungrier with every passing second. I prefer the Hot Open Roast Beef, and am so glad I did. The beef was perfectly tender and cooked just right. The mashed potatoes were made in-house and you could tell it...haven't had such a wonder mash in way too long! I got a side of tomato, that's how my grandparents would have served the dish, and it's been many years since I had the chance to feel like I was back home with my family having a Sunday supper...it would have been just like this and that made me smile. I plan on returning soon, with my wife and kids, to try more of the offers from their menu.

    Not a fan of greasy oily food. Western wrap. First photo shows after one bite all that oil came out. After finishing half of the wrap I couldn't do it anymore. This western wrap doesn't come with a side just what you saw on the plate. I tried taking a picture of the kids tenders it was just as oily and bad but I had to quickly switch plates and serve to the kiddos. At the end of the meal another waitress helped closed out our bill. Common mistake with technology and she charged me another tables order. Luckily that I caught on and was an easy fix. Most people aren't that kind about it and things could have gone a different way. I am not a fan of this place sorry.

For mains, my wife got the deep fried haddock sandwich on a gluten-free bun with a side of sweet potato fries, and she was thrilled she didn't have to sacrifice anything to eat gluten free here. I went with the Prime burger topped with truffle cheese and upgraded to the truffle parmesan fries, which were phenomenal. This was our first visit, and our server James made the whole experience even better -- attentive, knowledgeable about the GF menu, and made sure we felt taken care of the entire time. If you're gluten free or dining with someone who is, Burton's Grill should be at the top of your list. We'll absolutely be back.

Alexander's consistently puts out good food, good service, and a good vibe. Our server was 'Faith' and she was stellar!

One of us had special requests for her meal, no problem. One of us rolled in 5 minutes AFTER everyone else had arrived and ordered their drinks already, again... no problem. Faith is a superstar.

We walked in without a reservation, and they were able to accommodate us. It definitely got busy as the evening went on, but the service remained great throughout our meal. Most of us ordered the steak and fries, while a few swapped the fries for baked potatoes. The steaks were cooked well, the fries were amazing, and overall the food was VERY good. We also ordered the artichokes to share. I'm not usually an artichoke fan, but I tried them and was pleasantly surprised! And the dessert... SO GOOD. We had the white chocolate cheesecake, and it was easily one of the highlights. Their whipped cream is made in-house, and you can definitely tell. We also had drinks with dinner and really enjoyed those as well. My only two small critiques were the atmosphere. There was a slight lingering smell inside--not necessarily moldy, but possibly from the humidity and the carpet. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of carpet in restaurants for that reason. We also had one persistent fly that kept making its way around our table and food, which was a little annoying. That said, the restaurant itself appeared clean. One thing I would LOVE to see them add is fresh bread! This just feels like the kind of restaurant that should bring out a basket of warm, fresh bread while you're waiting for your meal. Overall, I'd give the experience about an 8.5-9/10. Great food, great service, delicious dessert, and a nice dinner for our first night in town. I would definitely come back!

We started with the Caribbean Tea shots, which were unique, refreshing, and surprisingly enjoyable. For drinks, we ordered a Malbec and a Peanut Butter Old Fashioned. Our first entrée was the Churrasco Frites, featuring marinated skirt steak topped with chimichurri and served with twister fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, but those fries were the true star of the dish. Still wanting more, we ordered the Garlic Parmesan Twice Cooked Wings. They were nicely prepared and satisfying, though I would have enjoyed a stronger garlic flavor. Not quite finished, we moved on to the Oaxaca Burger, an 8 ounce burger stacked with onion rings, bacon jam, house BBQ sauce, and Oaxaca cheese. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and possibly the best. The bun was toasted yet soft, the burger was seasoned perfectly, and it was cooked to a juicy medium temperature. Every bite was packed with flavor. Overall, everything we ordered was excellent, and the service and atmosphere made the experience even better.
