Diner with an identity crisis

by jericsmall at Citysearch

When to the diner for dinner with a local friend. I had a chicken breast sandwich, which was good, but pretty much fell to pieces upon picking it up. French fries accompanied which were very good.

The food service was good too. They provided me with some bread at the beginning upon special request, which was nice. And the food came out fairly quickly, which I would expect of a diner.

We sat outside, which seemed like a totally different place...very nice, clean, and comfortable - a sharp contrast to the washed out flourescent lighting and speckled diner tables and plastic covered foam chairs inside. Thus the identity crisis. Diner? or not?

The parting moment was payment at the register, which took f-o-r-e-v-e-r for them to come and service us. Not the way to end an otherwise good experience.
