So the food here is as you would expect from diner food, but with more flair and flavor. This place is a regular stop for me and... my coworkers on a lunch break. If you go at the right time, you can be in and out relatively quickly. Service is always pleasantand the food is always good. Meatloaf is my favorite and is a must try! Read more
Cool lil down home diner... The service was great, there was no wait and the food came out hot and quickly. The Fancy French... Toast was sooo good. Thick bread with a hint of sugar. Soft in the middle and crisp on the sides... Sheesh. Read more
My family has been going to the Dining Car for approximately 40 years. We have many fond memories. Good food and service.... However, yesterday changed all of that. We went to get into our car after finishing our lunch and found that my daughter's carwas scratched on the driver side. This scratch was not there when we parked the car to go into the restaurant. This is a brandnew car. Luckily, it was minor, but it should not have happened at all. Mistakes happen, but just own up to what you did andthings can get worked out.

Iasked if she had security cameras so we could see if the current pickup truck parked next to us did the damage or the driverthat was parked there when we first arrived. The pick up driver did a horrible job of parking and his truck was all scratchedup with white scratches and my daughter's car is white. She took down the license plate number and I asked her to make anannouncement for the driver to come to the desk. She said she could not do that and decided to go table to table to find outwho the driver was. She finally sent an elderly man that could barely walk out to talk me and said he was the driver of thegray pickup and he seemed a little out of it came out finally came outside to look at my daughter's vehicle and said he did notdo the damage and just walked away to go back into the restaurant. Of course, we have no proof who did it and she said hercameras could not get access to that part of the parking lot. Well, that does not do anyone any good. There was a policeofficer that had been dining there and had left and I asked her to get him to come back. He was accompanied by anothe Read more
