What an absolute gem! As a Brit, this was the best U.S. diner experience I've had. The place was spotless, clean, tidy and not... very busy when we arrived, but that soon changed and the place was buzzing. Still very discrete though, and we enjoyed ourexperience thoroughly. I had the Hot Pastrami on rye - best EVER! Bread was toasted well, the pastrami was just delicate enoughbut had a bite to it, and just the right amount of mustard. As for the service, we had Bunny (apologies if that isn't speltcorrectly) and she was so helpful and attentive and had a great connection with us. And I think Vance was in the house too, andit was great to see him greet his customers. The only grumble? It was a little on the cool side, but but not uncomfortably,hence why i didn't mention it. My American family love this place and I'm so glad I was able to visit too. I'll be back! Read more

I went here with my wife, mother in law and brother in law. We all ordered a big breakfast and a big breakfast to go. The food... was pretty good. The eggs were really runny. The waffle was really dry it wasn't fluffy it was more crummy. The milkshake wasgreat! Bacon and sausage was EXCELLENT ????. I was very glad that they had an elevator that we could use, as they sat us up onthe 2nd floor. The bathroom was very clean as well. Our server Taylor was great. She was very attentive and made sure our orderwas correct before it reached the table. She saw the wrong order being brought up and sent it back to be fixed and came toapologize to us for the wait. It was overall a good experience. We were a little disappointed about the vintage car show wasclosed and only opened on Sundays. But the diner portion was a good experience. Read more

Solid diner! Nothing too crazy & a lot of chrome, which fits exactly into the diner genre. Breakfast food all day, greasy fatty... foods, and paying at the register (for some reason). Never too crowded and never empty, definitely recommend this place after asporting event or a long day. Read more

Stopped in on a rainy Sunday because it was a place we hadn't tried. The place has an old school diner vibe with lots of chrome,... red leather, and back and white and black checkerboard floors. The service was friendly but slow. They may have been shortstaffed that day. The food was typical diner quality. No more, no less. I had pancakes with sausage, bacon, hash browns, andtoast. It was all good, not great. There is a hidden gem about this place if you visit on a weekend. It's next to Goober'sgarage which has a pretty amazing collection of antique automobiles. If you are at the diner between 10-1 on the weekends thenyou can walk over and check out the collection for free. It's entirely worth it as it's an impressive collection. Read more

I have to first say it was well worth the wait! I had been waiting for the opportunity to dine in the old fashion diner after... watching the restaurant being built. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was filled with lots oflaughter and chatter. I was amazed at how fast our food was brought to the table. The waiter who brought our food was extremelypersonable and I wish him all the best. I look forward to returning as everything was delicious. Thank you for a greatexperience. #GoobersDiner ????

Hands down, best breakfast dishes ever! I always try every restaurants creamed chipped beef if they offer it, and Goobers was... the best I've had. My 2 companions also thought their meals were the best as well; Eggs Benedict Florentine, and mushroom &cheese omelet. Read more

Great food and great retro diner atmosphere, loved the food so much we ate 2 platters each and took home platters for the next... day. They also have some awesome antique cars and pure American muscle cars to look at in their garage (the garage is open onSaturday, Sunday, and Tuesday) free of charge. Would highly recommend and return to again! Read more
