5 & Diner is one of those comfort food places I tend to go to when in need of something that can stick to your ribs! Tammy was very attentive and friendly! I was having a bit of a down day, and she managed to turn that around! Now, my partner and I have been indulging The Wolfe Pit's reviews on frozen Country Fried Steak dinners. Well, I thought I would do this one better and actually try the real thing! I'm not a connoisseur of Country Fried Steak, but you don't need to be one when this was one of my first real experiences with the actual dish. I will say, from the onset, my meal came out hot and ready in a short amount of time, about 15-20 minutes, but it was fairly fast since it was just the beginning of dinner service.
Now, my partner is Southern, born and raised, and had indicated that the meal looked like it was supposed to, especially with the amount of gravy present on the steak. The breading was crisp and crunchy, and the gravy was very rich and savory! I added a lot of pepper to mine because I really like pepper anyway, but the gravy itself was very good! The mashed potatoes were on point and paired well with this dish! The veggies of the day were pretty good, fair, but the star was the King Kong Country Fried Steak!
Well worth the price, filling and when I say it's filling, it really is stick to your ribs filling! Take it to go if you fill up quickly, but the bang is worth your buck! So, if you have a chance, come down here with the efficient and friendly service and staff, equipped with a pretty excellent sense of humor. Just make sure to ask for Tammy and get yourself a milkshake while enjoying the classic diner atmosphere! Down to earth and festive, you won't regret it! Just make sure to arrive before the meal rushes. That way, you can look over their awesome, classic American menu and maybe get a banana split to polish off your experience!
Bon appetit!
