This diner has really delicious and super satisfying meals! We came here for dinner late in the evening and all wanted different things (and we were honestly all a bit cranky), and our very patient waitress took our orders and gave us some complimentary bread...to hold us over. I ordered the spanakopita, and it was really good! My husband's fish and chips were surprisingly good as well (given that this is a diner and not a seafood place), and our fried zucchini was crispy and tasty.More

This diner hit the spot with it's selection and pricing. The speed of service was excellent, soda refilled on the double. Prices were more than reasonable for the location. The salads we had were more than overflowing and served a a partial dinner then next...day.More

This hotel was a great place for out-of-towners like my husband & I. We came up to Bend at an event in Ansonia and could not have been happier with our accommodations. Julie and Miles who were the night check-in desk staff were absolutely sweet...and lovely and super helpful. The room was incredibly clean incredibly comfortable and just really a great way to kick off our shoes and get much-needed sleep after a 5 Hour Rd. trip. The breakfast while it had a very simple selection it was very tasty. Their southwestern omelettes were really good & they had a waffle station and overall it was just a great way to start a day of nonstop (12 hour) booth work. Highly recommend it if you’re in the area.More

We used to go here when our kids were young, and decided to stop in late at night coming home from an event. The food was excellent, waitress was so friendly. We had wraps and brought home the chocolate cake for dessert, which was heavenly.

Haven't been back to review in five years, but they are still making great breakfast. Service was very good, our waitress was so nice and personable. Grab a hot cup of coffee and breakfast wrap!

We eat breakfast here every time we travel to this area. The food is good, with excellent service from servers who have worked there for a long time. The prices are also very reasonable. They have weekday breakfast specials that are very cheap. Some day...we will try them for lunch and dinner but we are usually busy with family during those times.More

We are new to the area and were in search of a diner and decided to try Plaza. Very good breakfasts - quality and selection. In the diner tradition, a multitude of choices for lunch and dinner. Loved the souvlaki salad. Service very friendly but...during busy times service can be slow.More

If you are in the mood for diner food, I strongly suggest that you head anywhere but Plaza Diner. We had a terrible experience at Plaza last night. We were a group of seven, five adults and two toddlers. Stood by the door for almost...a full five minutes before we were even acknowledged and seated. Took forever for a waiter to come over, then after we ordered, it took 50 minutes for our food to come out. At a near-empty diner on a Tuesday night, it took almost an hour for our food! Waiter never came back to our table for drink orders and he never even checked to see if we needed more water. When the food finally came out, it was fine--basic diner fare, although two of the orders were wrong. Then, the waiter never came back with the check. It took 20 minutes for him to emerge from wherever he was then another ten minutes to bring back the check after we requested it. And this is when the experience really took a turn. I got up to pay at the register by the exit. There was no one working at the counter and five people waiting to pay their checks. There were also three small parties waiting to be seated and people coming in to pick up food. Finally, a surly teenager comes out to the register and decides that she's only going to wait on the people she knew. Diners who were not in line were handing their checks directly to her to cash out. She completely ignored the group in front of her trying to pay their bills and took care of people who were calling in orders, people picking up orders that WERE NOT EVEN READY YET, etc. This is insane. 15 minutes to pay my bill, which was a decent bill of almost $100 since we had seven people. This is how you treat paying customers? Customers who have been there for two hours are being ignored for over 15 minutes because your cash person wants to chat and not do her job. I honestly could have just walked out and not paid my bill at that rate, no one was paying attention to the crowd around the reception desk. Eight people came up and just handed her their bills. When it was finally my turn, the girl at the register looked up at me and said, "What do you need? A table?" Seriously?! No, I'm trying to pay for my mediocre food and bad service. She offered no thank you for coming, no greeting, etc. and threw my credit card back at me. I didn't go out for dinner to be treated poorly. I work in a service job; if this position is too much for this person to handle, she needs a new job. Also, the manager (or maybe owner), stood at the bar playing with the remote and talking about the show on TV with the customers who were 'friends' that entire time, not even paying attention to the craziness by the door. Great management style. Absurd. Don't waste your time and spend your money at a place that will appreciate it.More

This retro 1950s diner was bright, cheerful and sparkling clean. Our 4 wonderful breakfasts were ordered, served and devoured. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon extra crispy and the home fries were exceptional This was our first time at this hidden gem but we...will become regulars.More

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in a diner, eat diner food. This is a regular Sunday breakfast/brunch spot for us and we have always been happy with our egg, pancake, or other traditional breakfast selections. On this occasion, we arrived for...a mid-week dinner and, frankly, had mixed feelings when we left. A blue cheese and bacon burger was decent but not particularly noteworthy. The "blue cheese" in no way resembled crumbles, but more of a blue cheese paste that was placed under the broiler. Onion rings were the highlight of the plate - they were hot and crisp with nice flavor. Most disappointing was a shrimp and pasta entree featuring overcooked (hence rubbery) shrimp in an oily, gloopy (I think that's a word) sauce that was unremarkable at best. Service is usually efficient but perfunctory; on this night, however, the young waitress was outstanding and could not have done more to meet our needs. We will return here but have lowered our expectations regarding entrees and burger and will stick to omelets.More

We definitely should not have bothered with an appetizer. Our meals were huge. I don’t think ANYONE finished. The food was good but the service wasn’t great.

We meet here about once a month after our club meeting for an much anticipated lunch. Usually, we have a very good lunch and enjoy our time together. Entrees are plentiful , the value for your meal is reasonable and the waitress is usually always...pleasant. Today, the waitress was absolutely awful! Her impatient attitude and condescending comments along with her rolling her eyes in disgust was unacceptable! The waitress spoiled our meal!More

Despite telling 3 people we did NOT want water with our breakfast two people brought us water , When we said again we did not want the water they still left the glasses...on the table . I wanted toast instead of English Muffin and they said I could not substitute . Very inflexible in their menu . Food was just okay.More
