My order of steak and scrambled eggs was a culinary masterpiece, the kind that leaves a lasting impression on your palate. The steak was a study in perfection—tender, juicy, and cooked exactly to my liking.

However, it wasn’t just the food that elevated my dining experience to another level. The service at Trivet Diner is, quite simply, second to none. My waitress demonstrated a level of attentiveness and initiative that went far beyond my expectations. She took note of my desire for a fresh fruit bowl and went above and beyond to fulfill my request, returning with an enticing assortment of fresh bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. It was a refreshing detour from my savory main dish, a sweet symphony of flavors that perfectly cleansed my palate and concluded my meal on a delightful note.

So.......where to begin. I know this is a long review, but bear with me. If I give a poor review, I always justify it. One and two star reviews mean nothing without context.

Went in with my elderly neighbor following a diagnostic procedure he had that required him to fast. When we arrived, the place was busy, but not packed. We waited and were seated very quickly and provided menus. Then we waited almost 10 minutes for our server to ask us and bring our beverages, coffee in this case. Mine tasted like it had been on the burner for some time and had that bitter oily flavor of overheated coffee (blech!). Then we waited for another over 10 minutes for our server to come back and take our food order. While we were waiting, our and two other server's had about a 7-10 minute conversation about what kind of pizza they were going to order....you know cheese or pepperoni, thin crust, pan or hand tossed, etc.. The reason I am aware of all the details is we were seated literally right next to the server POS terminal separated by a half wall with a glass top. I had the vegetable breakfast casserole, which was pretty good. My friend ordered a custom omelet with tomatoes, onions and cheddar cheese, rye toast and a side of bacon. The order took about 15 minutes to come out. In the mean time, my friend finished his first cup of coffee and placed his cup on the edge of the table....pretty standard indicator that he was looking for a refill. When our food came out, our server plopped the plates on the table and said a quick and curt "Here you go, honey." and was just about to scurry off until I asked her to get my friend more coffee, some more splenda, creamers and napkins. She promptly returned with all. A moment later, Ihad to get her attention once more to let her know my friend had not gotten his bacon he ordered. His toast was wheat, not rye, and burnt. His omelet had about 4 small pieces of tomato and was quite brown.

So to put simply: Food: two stars because mine was ok. Place: three stars, it was clean and bright. Service: zero stars, worst I have seen.

Overall, not...

This review will probably hurt some feelings, but I always feel honesty is best in these situations. I stopped in this morning for a late quick breakfast. There was a decent crowd in the place but not incredibly busy. I strolled In to the outdated diner and took a seat on a stool at the bar area. I sat for a few minutes as the waitstaff decided who would attend me. Seemed to be confusion as to who would take my order. Not a big deal, thought nothing of it. I proceeded to order my food. A very simple omelette and side of eggs. No potatoes or toast. What I received was , well nothing short of mediocre. Probably the worst omelette I’ve ever had 😂. I never had food that tasted like nothing. I’ve been to hundreds of restaurants and had thousands of omelettes over my life. And this gets the crown lol. I really don’t have high expectations from diners as a general rule of thumb. But if there’s one things a diner should be able to do decently. It’s make breakfast. My service was fine, nothing overwhelming. But I had three different servers attend me so it’s hard to say, so don’t know who my waitress was. Not only was the food terrible , but the coffee was bland and the price was pretty crazy. I’m not one to complain, I just usually eat and pay and leave. I don’t even think this would pass for 2am drunk food tbh. Truth be told I feel awful for the local people that eat here that actually think this is good food 🤷‍♂️. I mean, they must have never had the benefit of having great food. The bathroom was also another story. Two sinks , one soap dispenser on the wall broken with a note to use the one mounted on the sink. The second sink was broken and the soap pump for that sink was ripped off and broken. No paper towels and only one hand dryer. Simple things like this drive me nuts, why not fix ? Just adds to the overall disappointment. I left a $5 tip on a $12 mewl because I figured it would be split between all the waitresses and anything left just felt cheap. But i feel $12 for a terrible omelette with a side of eggs was...
