One hungry man $10.50 (actually $15.99)
One order of biscuits and gravy, which was basically a cracker because one of them was so flat it didn’t even resemble a biscuit. And the other was very flat but at least resembled the biscuit. $8.99. (Actually ?)
3 egg meat and Cheese sandwiches one was supposed to be without and side, but we were given French fries. No price, but the 2 egg breakfast that includes meat and toast is $8.99. (Actually $10.99)
Now I did see the sign that says eggs are 50¢ more starting 3-6-25. I get that we have to pass prices on when things are that expensive. But I know food service crates of eggs are not a dollar an egg. So you are essentially charging people $.50 more for each egg on their sandwich. I was told that the menu was an old menu. And that she asked if I needed to look at the menu. I guess it would’ve been nice if she had said the menu prices are different now. I guess that that’s probably on me too.
However, the above cost a total of $62, a very expensive breakfast, even with the cost of eggs.
Additionally, the biscuits I was given with the biscuits and gravy order were almost flat. One of them actually was flat and looked like a cracker. They were both very, very salty.
The food was essentially good otherwise. When you ask for toast though it should look more like toast and less like buttered bread.
I did call and again was told that the menu is old that there’s a $.50 charge for each egg in addition to the cost of the meal.
I was also told with respect to the quality of the biscuits that they can’t do anything unless I show them. My items were all packed up. It was a little close quarters, and as it was I thought the toast that was wrapped up was the second biscuit. I drove 15 mins I had no intention on driving back to show them the flat cracker/biscuit that they placed in my order and were well aware that it should not have...
Read moreClassic Diner is located in the Providence Square Shopping Center. I heard about this place from a friend at work, so I decided to come out and try them as I'm always up to trying something new to me. My visit here was on February 16, 2020.
When you see the place from the outside, it doesn't look like much with other places right next to it. However, once you come inside, you will notice it is a small place, but it definitely has the look and feel of a diner. It was busy, but not overly busy when we came in, so we were immediately seated. The table had ads on them as well, which is typical of a diner. This was in the morning, so we were here for breakfast.
Within a moment or so, our server was at the table asking if we wanted something to drink and if we were ready to order. We weren't ready to order food yet since this was the first time visiting. When she came back with our drinks, we were then ready to order. I got the French Toast Deluxe with bacon and eggs. My mom got the House Omelet.
A little under 10 minutes after ordering, our breakfast orders came to the table. They were nice and hot, including the eggs and bacon. The French Toast was very good, along with the bacon and eggs. My mom liked her omelet as well. Throughout the visit, even though it was busy, our server was very attentive as well.
Overall, this was a very good first experience here. You don't get to see too many places in this area that have the feel of a diner. With great food and service, even though it's a bit further away from where I am in the city, I will definitely come back after the pandemic subsides. If you're looking for a good place with a diner feel in the area, you should definitely check...
Read moreA good basic breakfast with a classic hometown diner atmosphere. I had the eggs, Benedict (my bellwether for a breakfast joint) with grits, orange juice and coffee. My wife had the BLT with fries and a pickle.
The eggs were poached in a classic style, but were a little watery, and the hollandaise sauce was a little thin as well. Flavor was good. Grits were old-fashioned style and flavorful, but again were somewhat watery. I prefer mine to have some thickness to them.
Wife was disappointed with her BLT, only one piece of lettuce, though the rest was pretty flavorful. Unfortunately, the fries tasted like the oil needed to be changed.
I enjoy a old style diner atmosphere, and this definitely had it, though it needed a little cleaning and loving care.
Our server, Miss Dee, was terrific. Attentive and efficient. Not much of a conversationalist, but she was managing a bunch of customers during the morning breakfast rush. Always a big smile and always made sure to greet people coming in...
