That little diner over on Main Street is really good! Parking can be a pain when it snows, but it's worth it for the tasty food and friendly staff.

A 100% real, true old diner. This is not a diner masked-up to simulate old school. No fake uniforms or decorations. Dining here is like stepping back nearly a century (in a really good way)! Food is outstanding, as are the people who work here, and the owner who, thank God, kept this a diner's history alive and genuine. It's fascinating, and it's beautiful.

Went back today for the second time in 2 weeks after years of not going.
When I went years ago, I realized one of the ladies was padding my bill and added things not on it. It took me a few meals before I realized it and called her out on it. This was after I used to tip generously for them ($4 tip on $10 meal), and needless to say I felt like a moron and so used for being so generous.
After that, I purposely went back several times and left only small change as tips to remind her of what she did.
Even before that, the other lady that works there was rude and brusque, and she one time left the American cheese wrapping paper in my omelet! It was so obviously visible, and I pointed it out to her and she was nonchalant and such, and even then I still tipped like 30% on the bill, because I used to feel sorry for this small scrappy diner.
But after being taken advantage of, I changed my mind, and after going back a few more times just to leave change for tips on purpose, I stopped going for years.
On top of that, it used to feel unsanitary, like I'd be eating at the counter and one of the ladies would be wiping down the counter with her tablecloth right next to my food, which I also found rude, like why do that as the customer is eating, and right next to their food!
I finally went back 2 weeks ago for the first time in years, and I was cautiously optimistic that things had changed, and that first meal was fine, and actually tasty.
I went back today, and the lady once again was rude, taking away some condiments I wasn't done with without asking.
I thought once again what a fool I was for giving this place another try, as I thought back again about being cheated by them in the past and their rude behavior. It's the same rude service, nothing has changed, and the food also wasn't that great today.
In short, this diner is only good for its prices, like you can't get a cheaper diner breakfast in West Hartford, but everything else about it leaves much to be desired, and I'm still angry when I think about being cheated by them in the past and the rudeness I experienced.
So, make sure to check your bill, and no need to tip generously, I certainly didn't feel their behavior warrants it!
Edit: Wow, I should've taken my own advice. Finally looked at the bill after I got home, and I was overcharged again! I was irritated at the place and didn't pay attention when the girl rang me up because I was annoyed and just wanted to leave, but after I got home, I saw that she snuck in an extra dollar charge, small enough that I wouldn't notice at the time. What a bunch of dishonest people. And to think, I still left a 15% tip for them despite everything. I should've just left no tip whatsoever. Unbelievable rude dishonest people.
