Just had a great ruben sandwich here. The meat was thinly sliced but still juicy. Yum! The fresh cut fries were tasty and brought me back to when my dad made me french fries at home. We had an early lunch so it wasn’t that busy. Service was fast and friendly. I’ll be going back for sure.

Read Jimmy G’s review 12−29−15 Pretty much sums this place to a tee. This place is a new diner and I believe a first time venture for the owner/cook. Breakfast is a little over priced for what you get. Home fries lack any flavor and seemed old or overcooked. Décor is depressing. Waitress/service was terrible. This place needs Robert Irvine to save this place before it goes under. Sad to say but Webster doesn’t have a decent place to have breakfast.

Went in here with four friends to try the place out for the first time. 90% is counter seating, which would be weird for a large group, but there were a few small tables that we were able to push together. The place was pretty bare, the walls painted gray, just kind of droll. The server was friendly, but it seemed like she had very little experience. In taking our orders, she did not use any short-hand to write the order down, taking a minute or so on each person as she meticulously wrote down every letter of the whole order. Prices seemed normal — $ 6.50 for a hamburger — $ 3.50 for a cup of chowder — $ 4.00 for a couple eggs, home fries and toast. Average diner prices. Unfortunately, that was the only thing about the place that really felt like it was even ‘average’. The food took a little longer than you would think, despite the place being not busy at all. I ordered the burger with fries, add grilled onions, and a side of coleslaw. My girlfriend ordered a cup of chowder and a side of potato salad. Another friend had a tuna wrap, another had a BLT, and the other had a breakfast burrito. They took several minutes longer to get my burger out than the rest of my friends’ food. First thing I tried was the coleslaw, and it was downright the absolute worst coleslaw I have ever tasted in my life. If you’ve ever accidentally bought a piece of rotten produce at the grocery store and didn’t discover it until you got home, you know the smell — that acidic, bubbling goop smell. Well, that’s what the coleslaw tasted like. It tasted NOTHING like any type of coleslaw dressing I’ve ever had, and I have tried a lot of coleslaw in my life. I could not take more than that one single bite. It may have been rotten, or maybe the chef just has absolutely no idea what coleslaw is. Which is amazing, because standard with almost every lunch menu item is the choice of coleslaw or potato salad, so you must think they would be selling a lot of coleslaw and so should pick up on how horrible this stuff is. Just downright nasty. So I put the coleslaw aside and take a bite of a fry. The fry — bland. Fine, I think, at least the fries aren’t disgusting, so I can eat those with some salt and ketchup — still, nothing impressive at all about the fries. Next I go for the burger. My friends are eager to see how I react — everyone loves burgers, and you can tell a lot about a joint by how well they make a burger. Well, as far as burgers go, this was one of the most underwhelming burgers of my life. Absolutely no flavor at all. It’s like they took the cheapest bit of meat they could mush into a patty shape, did nothing else to it, popped it on the grill then slapped in on the bun. It tasted like nothing at all. Then the tomato tasted old and just gross — and I like tomatoes! So no idea what was going on with that. But whatever — I was hungry, and bland is better than bad, as I can just toss some salt and ketchup on the burger and fries and scarf the stuff down. But still, these things were like the absolute perfect example of what bland means — no flavor in any of that food at all. I think maybe the cook has no experience cooking at all? Has to be. Definitely can’t have ever tasted their own cooking, because if they had, they couldn’t miss how lousy it was. My girlfriend, who loves potato salad and gets it nearly everywhere we go that has it, couldn’t eat more than a bite of hers. Again — they dish this stuff out with nearly every lunch menu item — they should be kicking butt with this stuff, but instead they are serving up some of the worst examples of it. You almost have to wonder if they’re doing it on purpose. Like, maybe somebody had the idea to open a restaurant and serve the worst food possible and see what would happen, like as a bet? No idea! But anyway, I tried a bite of that potato salad, and though it wasn’t disgusting, like the coleslaw, it also had absolutely no flavor at all. I don’t even know how they can do that! Like, mayonnaise has flavor, but somehow they even took that flavor out and made it taste like absolutely nothing at all! Just lousy. She was okay with the chowder though, but this didn’t seem like any fancy homemade chowder — it seemed EXACTLY like Progresso, which we can get for like $ 1.50 a can. Nothing impressive at all, but sure, at least it wasn’t super-bland or super gross. My friend who got the tuna wrap had his stuff falling apart all over his plate. They apparently have no idea how to wrap up a wrap properly. And my other two friends also didn’t seem like they were at all impressed with the food. So if you don’t care about what the food tastes like at the restaurant you’re eating at, then the above isn’t really that important. If it’s the service that lures you in — well, that actually was terrible too! No refills, no check-backs, didn’t take the dirty dishes away! I could go on for another two pages, but Unilocal says this review is already too long! tl;dr: Don’t eat here — very very lousy food.

Two stars only because the staff is friendly. The food, however, was not good. Home fries were without any taste at all and too dry to enjoy. Omelette was the least amount of fillings I’ve ever had. Won’t be back.

This diner has been open 2 months, and it is adorable only a few tables but quite a few stools. They are only open from 6 am to 2 pm breakfast and lunch. I had Eggs Benedict which were yummy but I love a little lemon in my sauce but few places add it’ it came with home fries which were bland and I thought needed seasoning. My SO had an egg sandwich on an everything bagel which also came with home fries, he also enjoyed his meal! We spoke with Cassandra who told us that anything can be added to home fries peppers, onions and seasoning and they have lemons for the sauce. We will be back for more
