the perfect diner

by madsengel at Citysearch

I first went to the Uptown Diner with a friend of mine on New Year's eve. We mistakenly thought the Tea Garden would be open, but the holiday hours had changed, so we needed a different place to eat. Fortunately, we headed across the street to this little joint, which was open 24 hours.

Just a couple weeks later, I came back after a concert at The Beat at around 11:00 at night, and we all ordered all sorts of stuff-seasoned waffle fries, huge cinnamon rolls, french toast, and malts. The food is great. Not so gourmet or original, but tasty nonetheless. Plus, the staff is friendly and tolerant of big, noisy groups.

This place has everything you'd look for in a diner, and I recommend it to everyone.

Awsome Diner!

by dog11 at Citysearch

This place is happening. I read the past reviews and noticed that they got this place confused with the Uptown Bar, which is now closed down. Also I checked with the Healt Department and there was no fd psning cases reported. Their hours are a little weird, they are only open 6am till 3pm Monday-Wednesday and then they're 24 hours Thursday-Sunday. Portions were huge and no upcharging for the seasoned waffle fries. Their menu has a real southern theme to it, blackened catfish, cajun breakfast, biscuts and gravey, a country fried steak, and a po boy sandwich. They have all the normal diner foods like omellets, pancakes, waffels, burgers and sandwiches. Had a great experience and would recomend.

  • Pros: hours,portions,price
  • Cons: can get busy

Best Omlet in TOWN!

by lexie23 at Citysearch

This is hands down the best place to go for food after the bar or club, or for Sunday Brunch. The service is very friendly, they do a great job handling the crowd and you definately get your monies worth when it comes to the portions! They allow large groups to split their tab at the registers!. I really have no complaints, every time I have frequented the diner I have been pleased.

  • Pros: More than Genorous portions, excellent service
  • Cons: may have a short wait

Stomach Virus

by Student at Citysearch

The food tastes great but my girlfriend got a really terrible case of fd psning (I guess you cant use that word in this review) from the garden omelet meal. She has the rns and violent vmting.

Not the most sanitary place in the city. You can tell when you enter and sit down.

If you do decide to eat here, make sure they cook your food thoroughly. Food taste good but Im not sure if its worth the risk.

  • Pros: Tasty
  • Cons: Stomach Virus
