Food and service are excellent every time, like stepping back in time, there is a smoking section and if that's not your jam please don't go there and complain about it, part of the beauty of the 5 diner experience is watching people who come in several times a week to catch up on the local gossip over coffee and a smoke, get in a hearty meal and a good laugh.

Thanks 5 diner we will...

There is smoking allowed in the front of the restaurant that I appreciate bc it's a sign of freedom, but it may turn some people off. The non-smoking section is much larger. Prices have also increased recently, but still affordable...
