Great size portions of really delicious food. Take a taxi to see the gorge, it is only a 15 minute ride from the diner.

*Edited: the new temporary baker is out of this world. I was never impressed with the regular one. There is a MONUMENTAL DIFFERENCE in the taste and quality of the baked goods....this guy needs to stay!!! Howard is the best. He knows your name, your order, exactly how you like it. We only go when he's there.

Nice place to grab many different dishes. Server was cool and friendly. Kobb salad was Yummy, chicken was tasty. Fish was not the usual batter. Owner was awesome. Will be back!

Wow what a GEM of an establishment! Traditional diner atmosphere, very clean and quiet. Staff was immediately attentive and multiple staff checked in on us. Incredible variety of specials (see pic) and jazzed up traditions ( disco fries)along with traditional favorites. I had a hybrid of matzo ball soup with chicken noodle. Fresh herbs in the matzo was a nice surprise, and healthy size. My husband chose the Italian stallion, a formidable choice of 2 burgers, mozzarella sticks, provolone and salami. Very pleased with our meals and if we're in the area again, we're going back!

Lovely diner. Clean, warm setting, comfortable seating. Very friendly atmosphere and staff. Great menu variety, reasonable prices. My wife enjoyed a delicious chicken salad sandwich. I had a fantastic western omelet with cheese. Truly a 5 meal. Oh, and the chocolate egg cream was excellent. Thank you Croton for a lovely experience. Can't wait to return.

I've been coming here since I was in high school back in the early 80s and it's gone through some nice upgrades since then. I can say that current management is doing a terrific job; the menu is outstanding and the service is super friendly. I had the chicken gyro and baklava the day I visited recently in both were excellent. I'm looking forward to coming back soon!

Absolutely love this diner, I recently moved to the area and have been trying out the different diners in the area, this has been the best one so far. The food is good, the staff is very friendly , I felt very welcomed and taken care of.

Had brunch with friends there. It's clean, even though it was a busy day service was good, and there was no mix up in our orders, food was really good.. remember it's a diner.. not the place to order cordon bleu. Lol. If you're looking for a nice place to sit, relax, eat with friends at a decent price point, this is one option.
