Howie's Diner — Restaurant in Lawrenceburg Township

I can’t begin to explain how this place is even in business!I strongly advise against patronizing this establishment due to the subpar quality of food and unsanitary conditions. The price of two people’s meal was exorbitant at 60 dollars, yet the food was utterly repulsive. The store required a thorough cleaning from top to bottom. Upon receiving the meal, it appeared that the food had been hastily prepared, resembling items that had been removed from a banquet box and placed on plates. The chicken tenders and fries were evidently microwaved. The overall ambiance and cleanliness of the establishment were unacceptable. We refrained from requesting a discount, as the establishment’s financial situation necessitated the purchase of cleaning supplies and kitchen upgrades. It took two requests for silverware before we were served. I implore you to avoid this establishment and seek out more reputable dining options. The subpar quality of food and unsanitary conditions are unacceptable and should not...

Third shift server is horrid. I honestly started to feel bad for the cook that was in the kitchen. Me and my wife could see our food completely done with the cook smashing a bell to no avail. The cook was nice and brought out our food. He apologized and was a fairly decent guy. He has a green hat with an American flag on it, good damn cook as well food was perfect (5 stars on the food). Should have got his name for this review but I didn't.

The server is the main reason I am writing this review and giving this place a very low score. The lady was rude, disgusting, cursed up a storm, and didn't know how to keep an inside voice. She sounds and acts like she's the toughest stuff to walk out of the ghetto in Cincinnati.

The parking lot is also an issue if you're a trucker. Pot holes everywhere. We pulled in to see a truck getting pulled out of a pot hole by another truck. No showers for truckers, no washing machines, not even a garage. Worst "truck stop" I've...

So, this isn't what you'd first think of a 5-star restaurant (BTW, I am very stingy with the 5th star), but let me put it this way...

Yesterday my wife an I had dinner at an upscale chain restaurant famous for their various cheesecakes. You know the one. It was average at best.

This morning we were just looking for a good breakfast and decided to try this place out. Pulling in, we weren't too sure, but we walked away having had a great time and a phenomenal breakfast.

It's a typical dinner in terms of atmosphere and all, but the food and service were excellent. I had an omelette, and my wife had pancakes, which were both delicious and ENORMOUS. You can find local cuisine here as well - goetta and Cincinnati chili. Our bill was about $30 - not the cheapest, but totally worth it, especially compared to our $45 dinner the night before.

Alexa was our waitress, and she did a great job of making us feel comfortable and taken care of. Would definitely go...
