This is the third time that I’ve eaten at Palmer Diner. The first time, it was delicious! My fiancé and I ate in person, and we had a good experience. The second time, we ordered takeout. The food was good and the packaging was okay. This time I ordered takeout again, and when I got home and opened up our bags, I had seen that our food was handled horribly. We had ordered ahead of time, and whoever was on the phone with us sounded like she was rushing our order. They were closing in an hour but we didn’t order a lot. We had ordered our food about 30 minutes ago at this point, but the same thing happened last time we ordered and our food was bagged okay. When I got to the diner to pick it up, today, I had already seen that our bags were waiting on the counter lopsided. Then when I went to go pay, the lady was just sitting there staring at the price as I was trying to hand my card to her. She took really long with having me pay, and just told me, “Both of those bags are yours.” I understand that we had waited long to pick it up, but I’ll attach pictures of how our food was handled. All the syrup and the butter was spilt all inside the bags, and my waffle was upside down (you can’t see it in the second picture, but I had chocolate chips on it). Oh, and we had to finish cooking an egg since it came sunny side up instead of fried smh. I’ll attach pictures because it...
Read moreAbsolutely worth every penny. Tired of the general fast food options we were looking for an affordable place to sit down and have a good lunch. Came across Palmer Diner by chance and decided to give it a try. Immediately attracted me because it's not flashy, in fact very modest. The interior at first glance seemed nondescript and maybe like it had seen better days and the menu seemed relatively small, but I was satisfied with the options. I knew I would enjoy it just by observing the interactions between the staff and clientele; they knew everyone by name and it added to the at-home feel. The food absolutely blew us away; I wouldn't have been surprised if my own mother came out of the kitchen, it was that good. 💖 Our waitress cautioned us that we would be all filled up before our dinner came in heartwarmingly nana-esque fashion as we scarfed down the appetizers. We were not disappointed with any aspect of our experience. And when my daughter struggled with the size of her meatball sandwich, another waitress came and asked her if it would be okay if she cut it up for her. I was so charmed by this place and will DEFINITELY be back. It's the time of homey feeling cooking and environment that reminds you of the meal your mama always made when you knew you'd sleep good on a full...
Read moreWill never stop there again. Ordered breakfast, and when I got it there was a hair in my home fries. Totally gross. Then when I was trying to at least eat my toast and drink my coffee, I sat there watching the woman in the kitchen, on her phone, mask around her neck, putting food in her mouth...really? Was she the cook??? Needless to say when the waitress came back to ask if I wanted more coffee (with her mask down) she asked kind of rudely why I didnt eat my breakfast. When I told her there was a hair in my potatoes, she said "oh sorry ", " do you want me to get you another plate?" Why would I want another plate when by then my husband was done with his meal?? You would think they would have offered to take my uneaten meal off the bill...but NOPE! We will never go there...
