Utopia Diner — Restaurant in New York

This diner is convenient, usually relatively friendly, and serves great fries. But my husband got food poisoning there - bad tummy, felt ill for a day, etc - and I should have taken that as a warning. But I did not.

Last week I ordered a bison burger. The next day, I was as sick as I have ever been. I lost three full days of work. And 6 pounds. I have never ever been so nauseated. I had chills (but no fever) that were ferocious. I literally could not eat, could not move, could not get warm, could not drink even water. It was beyind miserable, and it seemed to take forever to go away. I should probably have gone to the ER - except I could not move.

You have been warned. I wish I had taken the hint when my husband got what we now know was mild food poisoning. Don't go to this diner. It's like playing roulette. You might be ok - or you might get awfully ill. I would not wish what I...

Dystopian Diner:

We were promptly seated and our table was washed down with a sad soggy rag (in true diner fashion). We got a selection of seedless pickles immediately. IMMEDIATELY. I tell you this, because I love pickles very much (and it's worth noting!). Our cheeseburgers were delivered soon after, but they tasted horrendous. Specifically, they forgot to add salt, pepper, and/or love to the patty in the cooking process. I advise going to another diner, perhaps Jacob's Pickes at penn station. I really like...

Mediocre, food is just so terrible, I order the split pea soup, creamy but bland needed some flavor, it was just a plate of green foam, then I order a Burger with a baked potato instead of the regular fries, a baked potato is meant to stay whole so you can add flavor on top, but they just simply sliced it in half put burnt bacon and cover it with whole slices of cheese when I was expecting a hot whole potato with an incision in the middle with pieces of bacon and shredded cheese not like that, and the burger what an insult bland and cold served open I barely saw any juices dropping from the "middle rare" meat, the wait staff is fine they were on point on bringing everything on the table, their kitchen staff need serious training they pretty much plated their frustrations on...
