Having read the reviews, I decided to try out the Eisenhower Diner.

Before I begin, you should know I went during a slow morning, so your experience will vary if your go during peak hours.

The decor is simple, but nice and homey. The simple orange and grey work well together and open area in the front getts alot of natural light . the pictures on the walls are varied and nice from what I saw. The atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Within 1 mintue of entering, I was seated, and 30 seconds after that I had my drink orders in and 30 after that I had my drinks. The coffee was hot and fresh and the soda was perfect, not overly sweet and not flat/bitter.

I ordered their breakfast special, which is two pancakes (or french toast) two eggs any style (i got scrammed, cause im basic) a meat side (I got ham) and homefries with toast. I also got a side of biscuits and sausage gravy (and an extra side of saisage gravy that im not sure was on my bill at the end).

The pancakes were slightly sweet, almost cake like, good and filling. The eggs were completely cooked, nothing was runny. The ham was cooked thoroughly, though a little bland. Not bad, just simple. The homefries were good. Soft potato on the inside, and slightly crisp on the outside. The toast was toast, not burnt and crispy. The sausage gravy was wonderful as well. The biscuits with it were perfect, and the extra side of it was go for dipping my ham it. Thought it is rich and thick on its own, so finishing it took time.

As for service, it was excellent. Never once did my glass reach empty before my waitress return with a full glass. I never felt rushed, and as someone who likes to take his time and relax after eating, that was a bonus. Again, this will not be as likely during peak times.

The portions were quite large, and no single dish it got was over $9. In fact, the most expensive item on their breakfast menu was a $15 steak and eggs combo. So price/portion is very good.

In total, my bill, with 20% tip and tax, was $27. I left full and satisfied. I will not doubt return to try their lunch/dinner menu, and I look forward to it
