Norwood Town Square Diner — Restaurant in Norwood

Not quite up to snuff as diners go, but not horrible either. Chocolate chip pancakes were stellar. Ham was so dry it was nearly impossible to cut, and was quite difficult to chew. Potatoes were dry, no oil, no seasoning, undetectable salt or pepper. Eggs were a bit undercooked for over medium (runny yolks), but again, not terrible. Grilled english muffin was great. The dry potatoes were fixable with a sip of coffee, and some salt and pepper. They had a nice char. Nothing could save that ham though, it was so dry it made for a fibrous chewing experience (not very pleasant). The last thing I ate before we left was the chocolate chip pancake, and I left satisfied because it was that good. If the pancakes weren't as good as they were, this diner would've gotten 1 star. I might go back...but probably not. In their defense, they had a full house and this was my first time there, so maybe it was just an off meal. It happens. Still though, I'm not rushing to go back. There are other places i trust more. Staff was very friendly though, and how busy the place was did suggest my meal not might not have been a a fair representation of their typical plate. Overall, I'm entirely neutral...

My first time at this diner. The veggie omelette was very tasty and the home fries were great. Coffee was good and hot…freshly brewed. The waitress was pleasant. The only downside is that it accepts cash only. I was not made aware of that, until it came time to pay. I’d to go to the ATM across the road and as a result, incurred extra fees to withdraw cash, for it was not my usual bank. The waitress pointed to a cash only sign behind the counter, and stated it was printed on the menu also. I saw neither sign, as I was seated promptly and my order was taken quickly. Wouldn’t it be far better to print a big and clear cash only sign on the entrance door, and not wait for a customer to find the sign on the board behind the counter amongst other signs, or to sit at a table and maybe discover it on the menu, and then have to get up and leave if one doesn’t have cash? Other cash establishments that I know of, have a big sign on the entrance door. I hope going forward, this diner considers...

Cute, classic venue...but the management is gruff and unreasonable and the food and coffee is mediocre at best. Ordered the most expensive omelette on the menu and asked to substitute tomato slices for both the toast and hash browns as I am a lower carb eater. The server had to check with the manager, then relayed to me that I could only have the tomato slices for a $1 up charge in spite of the fact that I wasn't getting toast or hash browns. I asked her to please let the manager know that I found this to be unreasonable. When the food came out, she said that the manager took a dollar off because I didn't get the toast or hash browns. Seriously???? Not sure why she couldn't just give me the darned tomato slices??? Poor customer service and almost seemed like she purposely was trying to annoy me. I won't be going back. Coffee was watered down swill as well,...
