What People Are Saying About Town Talk Diner
The Editor

In Short – Exposed brick, stainless steel and indie-alternative tunes set this metrosexual haunt apart from the average greasy spoon. A steady clientele of hipsters enjoy hours of gab and grub, soaking up the kitsch of the dining room and bar. The ambitious menu--invented by three fancy chefs who decided to take their talents to the people--ranges from wieners and burgers to a much more dapper double-cut pork chop with sour chicory hash and cherry sauce.

Service was ok a little slow and she really was not that friendly.
Starters
The Brie wedge was extremely tiny, good but way to small for the price.
The onion rings were large and cooked perfectly but bland, no flavor.
Entrées
The only special was a Salad consumer said it was OK nothing special.
Meat Loaf was a funny pink color and was over cooked, dry and full of filler.
Philly cheese steak was good.
The post roast was tasty but the Portion was very small. Must have been the last order of the night, three little chunks of potato and under cooked carrots and raw onions.
Meat good veg not so good.
Bottom line is if you charging the prices there charging the food and service best be top of the line.
I give this place a 2 out of 5.
- Pros: Drinks
- Cons: Food Bland and Boring

Super slow service
by crsassi at Citysearch
Went on a Sat. night, place was packed, this was around 6:45, within 30 min the place started to clear out. It took 20 minutes to be seated and after that over another hour and fifteen minutes to be served, by the time we were served the place was pretty empty. We were told 3 different times our food would be out in 2 -3 minutes. I honestly thought our order was lost but then when it came time to pay the bill it took 15 minutes after we HAD TO ASK, for the bill to get it. We were ready to walk out and see if someone noticed. It then took another 10 minutes to get my card back. Food was just ok and not worth all the wasted time and the noise you had to shout over to hear someone next to you.
- Pros: Food pretty good
- Cons: Service was way too slow
The Details on Town Talk Diner
The Extras:
Town Talk now serves its famous Frickles, burgers, tempeh sandwiches and more during lunch. And for an extra-special old-school lunch break, classic cocktails like the Jackson Pollock and Manhattans add even more allure to Town Talk's charm.
What to Drink:
Forties take on a more demure appearance and are served champagne-style in ice buckets. Old school drinks like gin fizzes and Rob Roys make a comeback. For dessert, the Monkey Business adult malt--made with chocolate ice cream, bananas, peanut butter and bourbon--is great to slurp with your sweetheart.
