Re: City Diner
Not to judge, but City Diner is not the type of place I would order a grilled shrimp wrap.
Re: City Diner
I'm chuckling because I drove right past it today... made what I THOUGHT was gonna be a circle... heehee....
Here's a tip, get on the service road and turn INTO the LaQuinta, then park real fast.
The first thing that struck me was how very clean the place is. I love that. I enjoy watching what others are getting... those pancakes looked excellent.
I got what JAG and Shannon ordered... the buffalo chicken sammich on jalepeno bread... oooo boy - delicious! And HUGE. I brought home half of it. The service is excellent too.
I'll be taking my husband there for breakfast this weekend.
It sort of reminds me of Camillia Grill, excellent (somewhat unexpected) food, excellent service.... except that when I say it's CLEAN, I'm talkin' squeeky.

Re: City Diner
Yes, it was clean. My husband was wondering how they got all the grease out from Denny's. 
Re: City Diner
My husband and I went to City Diner for breakfast yesterday.
Isa - they've gone to 24 hours! Tom and I talked about how much we would have used it during our college days.
The breakfast I ordered was enormous. Tom and I easily could have split it. It came with a side of pancakes... and they looked like a regular stack of pancakes, not a smaller version you usually get in a combo meal like that. Everything was delicious, good quality. The bacon is thick, the sausage is not a cheap brand, and the waitstaff is sooooo nice.
Next time I go I'm going to get the shrimp and grits, I'll bet that's wonderful.
AND.... it's not expensive! And clean, did I mention it's clean? lol I hope that keeps up now that it's open all night.

Re: City Diner
City Diner is now open 24 hours/7 days a week. Since the storm there are few all night spots available with a menu this extensive and served all 24. It's a one stop spot if you want breakfast and your hubby is thinking ribs!
A clean, convenient location and just the place to go after the parades or a theatre night. Try the choice of Cafe' DuMonde' chicory coffee. Oh, and be sure to get your biscuit grilled with the thick sweet bacon they serve. Now that I've tasted a biscuit grilled, it's now my first choice!
Enjoy!

Re: City Diner
I went and tried this place for breakfast yesterday and came away quite satisfied.
I had what they try to describe on the menu as a large order of hasbrowns with your choice of toppings based on which plate you order.
So I ended up with the hashbrowns, topped with two fried eggs, topped with shrimp and andouillie, covered with a cajun cream sauce. And for good measure it came with an english muffin. It was very good and way too much food.
The service was excellent, which basically means she was there to fill my coffee when it ran low.
Like others have said, it seemed that the prices were very reasonable.
I could see where the staff's conversations and goofyness might could get your nerves as it was kind of bothersome listening to the serving staff go back and forth with the kitchen people when I first sat down, but after I woke up and had a cup of coffee I warmed up to it all.

Re: City Diner
BTG, that banter reminds me of Camillia Grill, and I enjoy it.
It's funny, I had this reply window opened when friends called and said, let's meet in 30 minutes at City Grill! LOL
Today I tried the philly cheese steak sandwich on french. Deeeelicious. And I brought half of it home!

Re: City Diner
Both kids had sleepovers Sat night so I got to go to DH's gig. In deference to the old days where we would spend the gig money at La Peniche, we went to City Diner for a bite at 1am Sunday. They actually had a small crowd in there! Food was good as usual but we have had issues with one waiter a couple of times where he brings the wrong food. Even brought an item we did not order. We never say anything because he is nice enough but if it keeps up I'll have to speak up next time. Still, good food, good prices and great hours for night owls.

Re: City Diner
If I'm not mistaken, I saw Yvette's hubby in there the last 3 out of 5 times I was there! It's quite the popular place.
It's very close to work, I can walk there. It's good and the staff is very nice to me. I'm getting tired of french fries every day...I'm thinking a small side salad instead of fries or the onion rings option might be a good idea especially for those of us who use it as a lunch break and go often...maybe I'll suggest that.
It was me who called Judi B...LOL! I think it'll be our Monday thing

Re: City Diner
I've been going too, no complaints!
And yes, Judi, so glad they are open 24 hrs!
We work really late sometimes.
Last week I saw the older gentleman I always see in Camellia grill late at night! We've bumped into each other at late night haunts for about 20 yrs!
We always joke that he's following me, but it was clear to me that he was really digging City Diner. It was his first time & he was so happy to find a new late night place!
Camellia Grill (was there last week as well - someone twisted my arm) has gone so downhill, I really never want to eat there again. So very sad... but true.
