I just left from this Coney which Is right around the corner from me. Service usually isn't bad, but I guess it depends on who's servicing. It wasn't busy when I came in. There was only two people in line; one lady in front of me getting her order taken, and a guy waiting to pay for his. After the lady was done ordering i figured the the cashier an older lady taking her order would take my order. She didn't. She turned around and acted like I wasn't even there, even after looking at me. So I stood there waiting for her or the other lady that was waiting tables to at least acknowledge me. I would say roughly 3 minutes pass when the lady waiting tables came to the register to get a customer tab I guess. She asked was I waiting for something. Like yeah im standing here for a reason. So she asked if I wanted to place a order. I placed my order and while I waited an order came out that wasn't mine that the older lady almost handed to me. The same order that she took of the lady ahead of me. Like what the hell are you paying attention to ol bird? The food was fine. Coney is Coney, but the lack of courtesy really irked my nerves.
My hubby brought us in for breakfast and the overall vibe was really good. The waitresses were super sweet, everybody in the diner was speaking to each other, and the music added a nice touch. Real cozy, local energy. As for the food.. it’s simple, classic diner food. Nothing fancy, nothing over the top. It hits the spot when you’re hungry, but I do wish a few things had a little more seasoning. Still good enough to enjoy, and the portions were definitely solid. If you’re looking for a laid-back spot with friendly service and a chill atmosphere, this is a nice place to stop by.
I won’t eat there anymore, which is a shame - the food is basic, nothing fancy, but really good, and the servers are always friendly. Plus, it’s convenient. I won’t eat there anymore though because of the atmosphere - every time I’ve been there my last few visits other patrons are listening to their phones on speaker - every time! This most recent time, I didn’t even sit down - guy had his phone on so loud I barely heard the server greet me… I’m done with that; the social experiment of forcing other people to listen to your crap is over, and it failed. It’s annoying and it’s rude and I won’t patronize any place that allows it.
