City Diner

Our food is consistently good, with breakfast served all day. The menu has a wide range of pure comfort food made from scratch, including biscuits and beef gravy. Hand cut fries and hand dipped shakes are just a couple of the things that make this South City restaurant the best diner in town.

What a dish! Double egg Sammy w/ CRISPY fries . Grilled rye bread w/ mayo . BIG place that has a classic feel. A true gem on S Grand.

Breakfast is always good, but if you want something different go with the the Cuban, chicken strips with white gravy or the hamburgers , they are solid.

Get mashed spuds with your meatloaf omelet in the a.m. (take that, hangover!). Find them nestled next to an open-face roast beef sandwich at midday. Read more

Affordable, tasty with a bunch of vegetarian options (super unlikely for a diner place). I am starting to become a frequent flyer ;) . Staff is friendly and super cordial p!

City Diner attracts a lively crowd that’s as eclectic as its décor of movie posters, album covers and Barbie dolls. An expansive menu includes anything you could be craving at 3 a.m. By Gabe Hartwig

This is a local diner with staff doing their best. The floors are dirty and they probably have issues with inspections. However, I had the cod sandwich with coffee and it was great.

Part 3 - She told us “yeah the new owners are Arab and they aren’t going to do that”. I’m not sure what being Arab has to do with it, but it’s a poor way to run a business.
