Area 52 Diner

Let's start with the good: The food was delicious and the servers were friendly. The prices are also great for what you get.

The okay: I love the idea of the theme but they should lean into it more. It very much just feels like a Big Boy or Denny's that has a few old school movie posters on the wall. Their Facebook page also mentions tabletop gaming, not sure where that element is though, maybe it will come in the future?

The bad: Slow service and food took forever to come out. We waited over 30 minutes for pancakes and a waffle, a table of 5 ordered before we even arrived and we got our food before them. I understand it's their first week and they were pretty busy but it's breakfast, it should be quick. I'm hopeful they'll get better with time. My son also wished that the food came with a side of meat, pancakes are just pancakes, the waffle is just a waffle.

Overall, I will be back to try them again but hope that it's a bit quicker!

EDIT: Went back for breakfast again and the server was super friendly and the food came out very quick (less than 15 minutes). They also updated the menu so there are some platters (pancakes with eggs and meat, etc.) And they are leaning into the theme more which is awesome! I had an omelette, it was pretty good but half of it was missing the cheese, still good! My wife tried the biscuits and gravy and we wouldn't recommend...it was watery gravy with little flavor besides the sausage chunks and the biscuits weren't the good homemade buttermilk ones, they tasted like the slightly sweet Pillsbury canned ones. Everything else was good though!
