Side Street Diner — Restaurant in Tioga

Arrived to find the main dining room full, so we took a table down the stairs in the lower level/meeting room. The young lady waiting on us was very nice and brought us coffee right away, but we found out very soon you have to ask for refills… we kind of felt like we were “out of sight, out of mind” in the lower area. We ordered our regular 2 eggs over easy, bacon, hash browns and an English muffin. The eggs were perfect, the bacon was the thickest cut we have had in a long time (really nicely cut), but was not quite crispy enough for us, the hash browns were perfect and we both commented that the english muffin was crunchy and toasted perfectly (the first in a long time as most under-toast them).
