Red Roost Diner LLC — Restaurant in Spring Township

Oh, where to begin! Walking into this diner felt like stepping into a Norman Rockwell Painting with the unmistakable scent of syrup and coffee that clings to the air like a warm hug from 1955. We were genuinely excited. The menu? A perfect throwback. Exactly what you’d hope for in a charming little roadside classic.

Our waitress was a gem—young, cheerful, and impressively attentive. She hit all the right notes, and honestly, she deserves a five-star diner of her own. The Hunger Board, offering meals for those down on their luck, was a heartwarming and beautiful touch. More places should take note.

The atmosphere is bland, I think they're working to get a...

The owner needs to concentrate on having a clean looking professional wait staff. No free refills, uncomfortable booths. Every other diner i have ever been to serves breakfast all. Time to focus on business and not local drama including partaking in a fb group meant to harass and bully someone and sending vile abusive obscenities to someone who was just trying to feed the homeless.
