Big Time Diner

My wife and I were roaming around and decided it was time for lunch. I had been hearing about Big Time Diner quite a bit lately so decided to give them a go. My expectations were probably a bit tainted by the fact that I’m a native New Yorker where diners are a bit of an experience. If your experiences are similar in reference to diners, then you may be disappointed in Big Time Diner. Don’t get me wrong, the experience was pleasant enough but the menu was considerably shorter than one would expect from a classic diner. The decor is typical classic diner but the one page lunch menu isn’t.
After being seated, I ordered a Cheeseburger and Fries and my wife ordered the Club Sandwich which also came with Fries. Our meals were good but not outstanding. Nothing wrong with that necessarily, just not worth considerable hype. Our waitress was attentive without over doing it, the servings large enough and prices reasonable. Overall, I would recommend Big Time Diner if you happen to be in the area and are in the mood for something that’s more than fast food but less than something that will take a while. The food is decent if not brag worthy. The same could be said for the overall experience.

We used trip advisor to find this restaurant and after all the great reviews, we were hyped for a great meal. We ordered a burger, club sandwich, chicken po boy, kids tenders and mac and cheese, and the large seafood platter. Food was hot and served rather quickly. The food was average, nothing to rave about. I found out that I detest fried oysters. The brownie sundae was the table favorite. The peach cobbler had about 8 tablespoons of cinnamon in it. It was a vacation stop so I doubt we would ever make it back but it’s nothing that I would crave. If I had to go back, I would order a simple burger, fries, milkshake, and the fried pickles. The server was so nice and welcoming. She made lunch nice.

You don't have to be from the "Happy Days" era to enjoy this place, but going there always makes me happy that I went. The combination of great food and staff makes this an all time favorite. It's of those places that you never get tired of going to, no matter how many years you've been going there. I usually ask myself why haven't I been back sooner. If for some reason you are still in need of a big smile on your face, their old fashioned milkshake will do the trick.

Decided to try this locally owned diner on a rainy day. It was exactly as I had hoped. Vegetable w/beef soup was chock full of delicious veggies and the hamburger was old-time awesome. Service was great and I enjoyed seeing what others were having...included among them was a great looking bread roll. I will be having that with a next visit
