This is an Ideal Diner. 12/9/2009

As one of the past regulars at this place I always felt it was like Cheers without the beer. They have the best and most experienced hash slingers in town so don't question them, they know what they're doing and they'll let you know it too. They'll put a glass of cold water in front of you almost before you can sit down, Their soups are homemade and the clam chowder on Fridays always runs out cuz it's so good (best in town I say). So, if you want good diner food served up hot with plenty of old fashion diner attitude, this is the place. Pros: Great Diner food at an Ideal price. Cons: No Public Restroom more

Breakfast like the one Dad used to take me to... 7/13/2006

Counter-only seating provides first-class front-row entertainment for the floor show - namely watching the fast-order cook prepare your order. A fabulous breakfast from a fabuolous era! Pros: Fabulous breakfast + memories incl. more

How small - How great! 12/21/2004

If it's a small (really small, only 8 stools I think) friendly place you're looking for, look no further than the Ideal Diner. Popeye and Olive Oil will love to take your order! Traditional breakfasts involving toast, eggs, bacon, pancakes - you get the drift. Little places like this are going to be gone soon, visit while you can. more

Small, But Good 1/1/2004

A great place for breakfast! It's very small and tucked away, but this adds to the experience. Sit down at the counter and watch the cook prepare your food right in front of you. Listen to the conversations with the regulars. Not fancy like the more popular restaurants now, but the food is good and the ambiance still can't be beat. Pros: Inexpensive, Tasty food Cons: Few hours more

Where everybody knows your name 5/19/2003

What a joy to eat here. 14 stools. People slid down so we could sit together. Watching the cook make our food, slide it from the grill to a plate, turn around and set it right in front of us. Listening to all the regulars banter back and forth. The food was great, everyone was friendly. We had a great time. Pros: neighborly atmosphere, great food more
