Dianna's Deli & Restaurant

Had breakfast here on Thanksgiving morning after running the Turkey Trot. Very unassuming diner where I felt perfectly fine stopping in looking like I had just run a race. I had the Deli Omelette & added sausage patties. The corned beef was good and not canned. Knocked one star down b/c I had ordered wheat toast that I had to ask for twice, only to be given regular, white bread toast. Not sure if they just don't have wheat bread, the waitress had no idea what I was asking for, or she was as inattentive as I suspected. (To be clear, she was nice & it was a holiday, so I let it go.)

New owner fired all the girls. He raised the prices. A lot. My last day there was July 31 2024. August 1st new owner took over. I have been going there for about 15 years. Never again. I only live 5 minutes away. Good bye.

Great food and the prices are on par with other restaurants if not cheaper. Open late on weekends. I had breakfast food, and it's definitely better than Denny's and cracker barrel.

Love everything about this restaurant🤤!! Great food and awesome service!

My dad has gone to Diana's about 3 times a week for years. He ordered an omelete from the breakfast menu that he received when he sat down. He stayed about an hour and 15 minutes eating and reading the paper. When he went up to pay they told him his omelette was $2 more because while he was eating they switched the menu to the daytime menu, and everything was more expensive. He tried to tell them it wasn't right but they refused to honor the menu he ordered from. My dad is retired and on a fixed income, and is a devoted customer. It is reprehensible that they would change the price while he ate, especially without warning him that it would happen. Since then he's been eating at My Friends instead without an issue. Diana's needs to do better.

Great portion, fried potatoes cold, coffee great.

Never disappoints. Never too crowded, prices are good and food always great!!!

Our waiter tonight was amazing however the boss had an issue with me wanting to have a egg with my dinner and we ended up having to pay for a whole dinner that I didn't want and ordering an "egg" on the side whoever the boss is here two thumbs down would never recommend this place french onion soup was extra salty and we had been sitting at least 20 mins before they put our order in this was a very uncomfortable restaurant the staff besides our waiter was so unfriendly

Met friends for lunch today. Stuffed peppers special with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans. It also comes with a salad or cup of soup. Coffee is hot and fresh. The restaurant probably needs a good scrubbing but the food is delicious. Our waitress was friendly.

Since the new owner took over this place has declined fast! Long waits for food, scrimping on portions and accompaniments, higher prices and the food quality is bad. Front of house is terrible, wait staff kill themselves bringing drinks, taking orders, running food and bussing tables while the hostess stands around doing nothing, even when it's busy, which is less often than it used to be. Most offensive of all, after seating you they either ask what you want to drink and bring you nothing, or don't even bother to ask, and to top it all off they now have put a huge jar by the cash register asking for tips for their non-service. And they even misspelled "hostess." Whoever is in charge of front of house knows zero about the job. Nepotism at its worst. We have been regulars for years, but we'll be going elsewhere in the future. It's a shame because this was a favorite of ours.

The food and services have really declined here. Won't be going back anytime soon. Looks like they are under new management and it is not the same as it has been previously. A regular breakfast order was completely botched.

Server had numerous sores on his face and hands and was very fidgety. Food was so-so. Coffee was not good,

I went in there and I ordered toast and pop and when she handed me the receipt. I read it and I asked out loud, how much was the toas? all of a sudden The lady behind the register, snatches my receipt from my hand and shoves the money forcefully back into my hand and told me I did this before and she's not gonna serve me. So basically. I was assaulted because I asked for the price of the toast. All she had to do was use suggestive sales and tell me I could buy a whole breakfast for 675 instead of paying $5 for toast. That's all I expected.when I left I called to talk to owner and she kept hanging up on me. so basically I was assaulted by this woman because I'm not allowed to ask the price of toast. I will never go there again.Very rude, unproffesional! Putting hands on a customer should be grounds to be fired!! I'm Mad!!

Diana's Deli is awesome. The food, staff, and atmosphere is delightful. Food portions are above expectations. This restaurant makes sure you don't leave hungry! I would definitely recommend Diana's to anyone! Great experience!

Nice place we had breakfast here it was good not pricey great service and food came out fast and hot does have a outdoor patio and a parking lot

Ambiance was standard dinner, friendly service, mid food. Over priced for horrible pancakes. Funny menu and you can order about anything you like which is good. Word to the wise, don't get the omelette w marinara

I eat breakfast here at least once a week and have never had a bad meal in over a year. The food is consistent, good portions, cooked correctly and you dont need a cosigner for breakfast for two people. The staff is friendly and attentive.

The service at this restaurant was absolutely pathetic. Our waitress took her good old time bringing the food. Drinks were far and few between our waitress was outside arguing on the phone with somebody instead of being inside asking us how our meals. I definitely will not go back and I suggest others do the same. I wouldn't be making these complaints except for the fact that there was only three people in the restaurant on me and my family Walked in

A great local diner serving up old fashioned hot breakfast, lunch, and dinner 24/7! Although, I've only been here for breakfast...once before a Browns game and once before Comic Con, the service and food was great every time. It's also dirt cheap! My favorite is actually Diana's Favorite and it's only $6.95! It comes with a pepper, onion, and home fries skillet covered in melted cheese with your choice of egg on top, 2 sausage patties, 3 mini pancakes, and toast. (See the pics) Very tasty and filling. Their coffee is pretty good. It looks like they have a nice dessert case too. The servers are quick and attentive and one of the girls is pretty cute. ;-) The inside is pretty plain jane, diner decor...nothing to write home about. Check out Diana's for some late night or early morning grub!

Good food as always. Always try to go when I can. The port Clinton location is the one I always go to

Worst out to eat experience in the last decade of dining!!! Waitress gets an attitude and hostess blames me and my guest that the food was cold?!?! Will NEVER step foot in this establishment again!!

I love this place! I'm currently here for the second year in a row for my birthday dinner with my mother and daughter. The food is amazing and the staff is friendly. Their bakery items are to die for. My mom comes up all the way from Youngstown to come to dinner with me here in Cleveland.

In the category of 24 hour diners, Dianna's is superior to Denny's. Don't vary to far from the DTS (Diner Trinity of Safety,copyleft, Jim W): Burger's, BLT's and Breakfast Food. Overall, a passable and basic place to eat but that's it. Don't go looking for great service, sparkling cleanliness or delicious and wonderfully fresh food at Dianna's. You won't find it. 2.5 stars on a good day, 2 at 4 am on a Friday night rolling into Saturday morning.

I love this place! It reminds me of the bar in the old TV show Cheers. It's like family. The food is very well prepared, and is like what your mom made for dinner when you were a kid. Home cooked, old fashioned meals. Great breakfasts, sandwiches and soups. I have never had a meal that I didn't like. The prices are so reasonable, it is a great value for your money. I hope that when the Covid virus is over they will resume the cheesecakes and divine cakes that they serve. The other desserts are very good, but I really love the key lime cheesecake. They also have wonderful coffee

Opened a long time ago by a British Princess, but if she were still around today, she'd be upset that they mis-spelled her name and that, much like her own country (supposedly), the food here is not that great. Personal Experience: I've only been to Dianna's twice, awhile ago. Both times is while I was on tour, and because it was one of the few 24 hr places in Cleveland. Both times I was underwhelmed by mediocre American diner food, and both times the servive was iffy. The worst thing was the prices though. It only keeps its three stars for being open 24 7. I used to think Cleveland food was awful, but then I found Biagio's (opens 3am) in Willowick for Crulers, and Best Steak N Gyro on Euclid (I think) which is 24 hrs... both were great. Then I found about 50 better places to eat in CLE which I haven't reviewed yet, but none are open 24 hrs so Dianna's still gets a 3. I now think Cleveland food is amazing, but not so much Dianna's. High prices, mediocre food, never gonna get over a 3. Glad they are open 24 hrs though! 3/5

This place was wonderful! They had it decorated for Christmas, it was beautiful! My coffee cup was always full and the food tasted great. I got the Mexicali omelette. My waitress was so funny and she was friendly as could be. A few other waitresses also came by to check on me. Such a cozy atmosphere and I will definitely be going back! If I had any negative thing to say, their to-go containers are very low budget. The tab is so flimsy it won't stay closed.

I have never been more embarrassed in a business in my entire life. My boyfriend and I placed a take out order. I asked for a Cesar salad, she asked if I wanted chicken, I said no. Asked for a house salad as well, 10 traditional bbq wings and 10 Buffalo boneless wings. I asked at least 5x if they have boneless wings, she said yes each time. My boyfriend goes to pick it up, she charges his card first, then gives him the order. It was one giant salad with just lettuce and cheese, and 10 of the wings were not boneless. They told us they "don't even have boneless wings". They proceed to TRY and correct the salad issues, we told them we wanted a Cesar salad as well, and they continued to make a house salad. I'm not sure where the confusion is coming from. At this point, he's upset and leaves, forgetting his card was charged because he did not take the food. We would get something else. He gets home, checks his bank account and realized he was charged. He calls them, and they repeatedly tell us "no, we can't refund." When we asked why they can't give a refund to a debit card, she repeatedly said "no" and she "doesn't know how". She sets down the phone, and we can hear her and the manager saying "just tell him you can't do it." He hangs up and drives back up there. They repeatedly tell him no. The other employees were telling him, with attitude, to "just take the food or leave". Also told him to "cancel his card if he doesn't like it". He called police, who talked to the manager separately. We were told the manager said they simply "don't know how to give refunds". Thankfully, the officer explained to them that you simply just can't do that, and they ended up giving us cash, after 30 minutes of arguing. Sounds to me like they were just upset that they made a mistake and the customers wouldn't "just deal with it". I am absolutely disgusted with the way we were spoken to and treated. I have worked in restaurants before, and when it comes to messing up a customers order, mistakes happen, but you correct it one way or another. I am utterly embarrassed with the management of this establishment. Never in a million years would I ever treat a customer that way over my OWN mistake, and tell them they have to "deal with it".

Go breakfast here. It was good but it wasn't anything spectacular. Got over easy eggs...they were cooked perfectly. The potatoes were just alright. Could have used some S&P or another seasoning. Ended up adding hot sauce which made them better. Sausage links were alright. Toast was toast. Coffee was fine. Good service just nothing great here but nothing totally bad...like the stars say...A-OK.

Had the finest hard boiled egg here! And for only 99 cents! An absolute must have. This egg is only second to The Big Eggs finest hard boiled eggs

I kind of blame myself for my subpar food, as I tried their version of pasta carbonara which was a special and without going into graphic detail was simply not very well done. The service was friendly enough, and the dessert was decent as was their matzo ball soup. I would try again but stick to diner classics, perhaps breakfast or a Reuben.

I visited Dianna's for breakfast with my mom and grandma. We were all pleased with the quality of the food and service! The portions are big and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The inside of the restaurant is home-y and clean. The prices were quite reasonable ranging from $6-8 per entree.

It's a nice cozy place but food's not great and the place looks untidy on the outside.

Absolutely horrible food. The server was nice but that's the only nice thing about my experience. I haven't been able to keep anything in my stomach since last night. I'm a person who tracks all my meals and I know my food was not cooked well and it was awful. I'm literally puking constantly since last night. I actually hope I can get in contact with the owner or the GM.

Nice little local diner. Pretty good food & service. Decent, affordable prices. We come every now & then when we're in the area & will probably return.

Went to Dianna's this morning with a friend. I come here pretty often and have for YEARS. I've never really had an issue and absolutely LOVE Loida! (Hope I spelled your name correctly, love) Anyways. So I come in and have 2 meals and a coffee. Asked for extra onion on my salad and for one of my stir Fry's to have spaghetti noodles instead of rice. I was charged 1.25 for maybe 2 extra pieces of onion on my salad and FOUR DOLLARS for noodles instead of rice. Not only were those charges completely asinine but I wasn't even warned about them to begin with. I've worked in the industry for a long time and WHENEVER there is ANY up charge I let the person know. ESPECIALLY if it's that significant. Needless to say you've lost a customer today. May be petty but it's the principle. You lose when you try to pull one over on people.

Dianna's is back!!!!! The new owners have hired back many of the old staff and Jesse is back as chef. The food is back to the great quality and serving size we all remember. Going back was like suddenly going back home, and yes, in this case you can go back and be warmly welcomed. Food is top notch, service is friendly and you actually can leave with some change in your pocket. The prices are not high but the food is great. We have been back twice and will again make this our "go to" restaurant from now on. And the place is now totally welcoming to everybody. Go back and see for yourself, the old restaurant is back. You will be happy.

Whodini said it best: The freaks come out at night. I have never and will never set foot in Dianna's when the sun is in the sky. This is only a night time option and a decision often fueled by alcohol. I much prefer My Friends Deli and Restaurant. Some friends like to come here late night. Friday and Saturday night at Dianna's at around 3 a.m. is some of the best people watching in Cleveland. It is also pretty sad.

I had eaten in this place about 10 years ago and never went back. My little Joe's Deli on Madison and 117th was closed due to a death in the family( AND IS CLOSING FOR GOOD COME NOVEMBER) so I drove on looking for" food adventure" while trying to keep my money in Lakewood, I ventured over to El Jalapeno's...also closed for Cinco De Juli :0) Just kidding, but it was closed. So I thought Ok, let's give Dianna's place another chance. BIG MISTAKE! if you actually LIKE food, LIKE good service, LIKE cleanliness DO NOT eat here...keep driving, probably to the Diner on Clifton, Geppetto's or Corky and Lenny's on Chagrin! Dianna's was a food nightmare, like Jurassic Park for food! First off the manager was an absolute, disorganized, disheveled joke. He looked like he was texting a fart joke to a buddy before he cared to acknowledge us. He finally put his phone down and grabbed our menus and then was searching a mostly empty restaurant to figure out where to sit TWO people. The waitress was unhelpful, just totally uninterested in answering our simple menu questions. We ordered ice tea, made from a mix, but what was worse was she never bothered to refill it. the entire time. The place was about 1/3 full. We looked over the menu and decided on our two meals and decided due to the hour to go with lunch. A. Chicken Ceaser salad WITHOUT croutons and a shrimp alfredo that came with soup and salad. My daughter received her cup of minestrone meatball soup promptly. It was tasty, her salad showed up at the same time. I had nothing After that we continued to sit there for nearly 45 minutes. I still had nothing to eat. NO tea refills and NO acknowledgement that the food was coming or even that they were maybe understaffed that day...meanwhile orders were going out to what I can only assume were a handful of Burly "regulars" . (They must be family members.) I was ready to complain when our food FINALLY showed up! I ORDERED a Ceaser salad, what I GOT was a CHEF'S salad with over cooked, over salted, processed chicken thrown on top, an old egg that was sliced and had a GREY yolk, piled high with the croutons I requested be left off and some faux-ceaser dressing.My daughter was just speechless. The teen is no snob, but she knows food AND she heard my order. Her food was no better, poorly cooked pasta, mushy. The attempted cream sauce was an "Epic Fail" and the shrimp were cooked to a mush. despite appearing pretty at first.. It took me 7 minutes to get the "manager's" attention, I was standing there as he rang out 1 victim, sorry patron. I asked him to come look at the food we were served. I TRIED NOT to blame the waitress,I know she didn't cook it but WHERE WAS A REFILL! Fortunately the owner was standing there. I showed her the food and she made lots of apologies saying "it was SO unusual".. I doubt that. .I went to chef's school back in the 90's. I can eat in " holes in the wall" , street food, I can eat at LOLA, The Russian Tea Room or Maxim's. All I ask is that the food ,no matter how simple or eleborate, is cooked properly and don't hand just any idiot a spatula. I think the dishwasher must have cooked that day. I should have known better when I saw another family walk out (before we were dumb enough to walk IN ) and head to Wendy's across the street. The only GOOD thing was, despite my still offering to pay for our tea and my daughter's food. They comped the entire disaster and said please give them another chance.... NO WAY, NO HOW! Back to Joes' Deli, George's and best breakfast at THE COFFEE POT! I wound up with take away from Mark Pi's in Fairview!

This past Thanksgiving I loaded my car with a small folding table, a folding chair, a tropical bouquet, a miniature bottle of chambord, and a carry out turkey dinner from Dianna's. I headed to Sunset Memorial Park where I poured the chambord on my partner's still too recent grave. I placed the flowers on his stone and set up the table and chair. This is not an attempt to be morose as I was exactly where I wanted to be eating a Thanksgiving dinner as good as was on any holiday table. Real roasted turkey with all the fixings. Dianna's is open 24 hours a day and on holidays. It is my neighborhood go to place. I have been there with large groups, with just a few companions and by myself. No matter when or with whom it is welcoming. I have seen AA groups there after meetings, drag queens, grandmothers with their granddaughters, and all those who can be found in a city far more urbane than outsiders recognize. Some things are good like the sandwiches or the rice pudding. Some things are very good like the daily specials serving soup, salad, main course and desert. Some things are not so good. In reading the reviews for Dianna's I learned more about the writers than about the restaurant. As for me I will continue going there as will my friends.

Can anyone say breakfast!? I love breakfast. I especially love good breakfast that includes yummy things like pancakes, waffles, bacon (extra crispy), and good, hot, black coffee. I know eggs are great for you, and sometimes...I want an egg. Usually, I want the big plate o' carbs.! On this particular Sunday, I was not in the mood for going to Dianna's. I whined the whole way there, "I don't want breakfast. I'm not going to find anything good to eat there. I don't want to go here." My boyfriend is rolling his eyes and clenching his jaw like a good bf should. We arrive, and I'm still whiney, but I turn it off 'cause I don't want our friends who suggested the place to see I'm not thrilled. Amazingly enough, the coffee was drinkable. Not that normal crap you get a diner. And then whoa Nelly! Who puts honey, cashews, and ice cream on a Belgium waffle?!?! Dianna does! And you know what? She even put a banana on the waffle too for me, only because I asked so sweetly. The anticipation grew as I watched huge plates of piping hot, sweet smelling, savory looking goodness walk by me. I jumped every time a waitress walked near in hopes that my glutinous dish would arrive. Oh and when it arrived, it arrived! I moaned in ecstasy! What goodness was filling my mouth of the sweet honey, the cream cold ice cream, the fluffy whipped cream, and yes the buttery syrup! I almost forked my boy when he tried to take a bite. The bacon, while not extra crispy, was just as bacon should be....good and greasy! Let's just say Diana's let me get my eat on. Check it out, your stomach will thank you.

***BEWARE*** To all people who identify as lesbian, gay, queer, or transgender steer clear of this place. If you and your friends are verbally accosted and abused by a homophobic customer while you're just sitting there with your friends drunk and eating your food and not bothering anyone, staff (specifically Chuck) of Dianna's Deli & Restaurant will call the Lakewood Police have you and your friends ejected. The offender? From my recent experience, he just gets to go home scot-free. Echoing what Nancy M. and Swank S. wrote, when you're young, drunk, and don't know any better this place is maybe barely tolerable. The servers have always been nice, food is almost edible, and the decor is super dated as it is super cheesy and terrible. But when you're fit-shaced and completely wasted who cares? My friend has always suggested going there after the bars for years not because of the food or service but because he's always been amused by the late night sadness and tragedy of it all. But there is no amount of laughing at drunks that will erase the rage and anger I felt from my friends and I being treated so badly by Dianna's Deli...especially by Chuck who should've known how to escalate/de-escalate much better. (The Lakewood Police? Several customers and staff witnessed one of the cops pushing me very, very hard. I fell to the floor taking several chairs with me as I tried to stop my fall. Need I say more?) Chuck? His sorry butt should be fired. I will never go back to Dianna's and if I could rate this place negative 5 stars I would. My Friend's has always been a much nicer place, is just around the corner, and glad to receive my patronage I'm sure.

This is a very late review, and is written only because I know a couple people who have either 1)spoken well about this place and in fact eat there regularly, or 2)asked my opinion about Dianna's breakfast compared to another, worlds apart in terms of quality, restaurant. I've lived in Lakewood for over 2 years now, and in that time, have driven by Dianna's almost daily. I was first notified about the quality of food at this place by the restaurant itself, who had a large banner in front of their place notifying customers that Dianna's now had (this is not a direct quote) "new lower food prices for the same quality food!" If that is not an endorsement, I don't know what is. My one friend who lives near me, frankly has unsophisticated taste. I'm not trying to be mean. That is just a hard fact. I don't attribute this to anything other than maybe a lack of traveling (aka worldliness). But I love my friend--he's a great man and a smart one at that. Maybe it's just naiveté, because he seems to love Dianna's. The other friend and I went to Dianna's one time I think the weekend after we dined at Grumpy's for Sunday brunch. I don't know why I agreed to go to Dianna's that day because I already had suspicions about the food there. On that day, prior to dining at Dianna's I had not ever experienced their food. Only heard about it and read that sign in front of the building. I guess I was a little bit tired that day, and in a fit of fatigue, agreed to try it with friend #2. My suspicions were confirmed that morning. This place is bad. DO NOT GO HERE. The quality of the food is significantly less than sub-par. Mushy hash browns, bland coffee.

This is a 24 hour diner on the main drag (117th Street). Both the ambiance and the waitstaff are pleasant. Unfortunately, the food is poor. Both my wife & I had the Walleye Pike for lunch, assuming is to be a local specialty. Sadly, it was heavily encrusted with minimal amounts of actual fish between the crusts - a major negative! The mixed vegetables were overcooked to the point of approaching mush. The French fries were largish & limp. The mashed potatoes were okay. Proceed at your own risk!

It has taken months to recover enough to write this. My family and I went for a Christmas holiday meal & honestly if it wasn't the only place open I would have walked out mid-meal. I just watched Kitchen Nightmares and it came to mind- I never wrote a review! Well, here it is, because I guarantee the place is exactly the same. It would be PERFECT for Kitchen Nightmares- but I still wouldn't go back! After sitting for a long time, we got menus from a rude, dismissive server and had to wait even longer to make a drink order. About 15 minutes later we started to order and when I ordered the turkey holiday meal (I called 2 hours earlier to ask what the specials were, I couldn't wait because I was at a hotel and had no real food!). We were THEN told they were out of that special (would have been nice to know when she dropped the menus). Instead i ordered a med. rare t-bone steak dinner special which included veggies, mashed potatoes, soup or a pile of mostly iceberg lettuce and no dressing after asking twice salad, and a dessert. Everyone else ordered either the same or a burger & fries. We finally got the soups/salads/apps (a JOKE) while I wondered why the service was so slow when the restaurant was only about 1/4th full. I got my answer as we started hearing yelling and swearing by employees to each other (nice around my child) from near and in the kitchen about 25 feet away. Our dishes sat- and sat, as we heard more and more screaming. Finally someone who claimed to be the owner rushed in from outside and started yelling at employees, from what we heard she was called at home because of the fighting and apparently overwhelming 8 tables for the mass amount of staff there. As we looked around we noticed other customers looking just as frustrated and bewildered as we were. We waited and waited, I tried to find things for my child to do. I heard from the kitchen, "who's extremely well-done steaks are these?!" I stopped the owner and said, "I hope those aren't our steaks, because we ordered them med. rare." She said, "oh, no not you." About 1 1/2 HOURS after we got there, our food arrived and guess what? A dry as sand, extremely well-done (like the server saw!) steak which when I lifted it up was black on the bottom. Veggies were pale and overcooked/watery, mashed potatoes had gelatinous gravy I asked to NOT have, and EVERYONE'S meals were literally well-done yet cold, and disgusting, I swear- how can the ENTIRE table's food be so grossly messed up?! I literally looked around for cameras for a few seconds. Everyone was uncomfortable because of the awful quality of the food and the screaming, but I found the nerve to go up to the owner and say two things, one that we would like the screaming and swearing to stop and two, that our meals were mostly not what we ordered and steaks were INDEED burned like I'd asked her to check on. The result? We were upgraded to "super-duper" desserts- that's right the dessert that was free. When I mentioned that, I was told it was a better and bigger dessert than the free one. When I pointed out the lack of logic in it, we were given an EXTRA one. Wow. Between the oblivious and screaming filthy-mouthed servers and cooks, dirty bathroom, painfully slow service for no apparent reason, owner who pretended to care and did NOTHING, the embarrassingly HORRIBLE low-quality food I would not feed my dog cooked simply "BURNED" but sat in a window long enough to be cold, the BS "comp" for our bad experience & a complete waste of $80 I paid for the family, I swear on my life (which it may be next time, this time I just had the runs for 24 hours after) I will NEVER visit this wannabe greasy spoon (it wishes) hole EVER again. TRUST ME, you will feel violated! I would not have put even one star if it weren't required. This place owes ME a star for having sat through the experience.

Not sure what's going on with Dianna's. I'll admit to going infrequently, but the food in the past was more homemade. Now, most of what I've gotten there tastes like GFS, Sysco etc., in other words, nothing special. Last time I got the stuffed pork chop dinner. The chops seemed definitely pre-packaged heat ups and the mashed potatoes were watery and tasteless. I had chicken noodle soup which also tasted canned. I make praise-worthy chicken soup, so I know if theirs is homemade, someone ain't home-making it right. Last few times we've been during the day it's been deserted with maybe only one other diner. Maybe there's a reason for that?

I went to my first show at Dirty Diana's after a night hanging out with a group of friends in Tremont. The entertainment that night was excellent. The drag queen had obviously spent a lot of time getting dolled up. The guy playing the tweeker part was talented and scratched the bejesus out of his neck/arm. Seeing a texas sized afro was pretty sweet. The final performance from the dude in the mesh shirt deserved a standing o. Our waitress for the event was very accommodating although I've had better breakfast at a truck stop. one star for the food three for service four for entertainment

Went there for dinner. I was very impressed with the food we had. The soup of the day was Cream of Mushroom. It was homemade and awesome! I would go back just for that soup. The person I was with ordered from the senior menu and the portion of food was large. Our food came very quickly. We were still eating our salads when it came. For the price it was great. The only negative is the staff. The waitress was not very friendly and was a little rude.

My husband has been wanting to go here for some time now. I was in the mood to eat out this past weekend and my husband thought it would be a good time to go especially since the Clifton Diner hasn't re-opened yet. I have to say, from the outside this place does not look like anything special. The parking lot didn't have to many spaces but we were able to find parking no problem. When we entered the restaurant we were pleasantly surprised. It looked clean, welcoming and had Christmas decorations throughout the restaurant. We were seated almost immediately upon walking in. I have to say they have a decent size menu with just enough options to not overwhelm you and I thought the prices were fair. I ordered the stuffed croissant which is a toasted croissant stuffed with a Western omelet and I really liked it. I had a bowl of fruit on the side instead of the hash and the fruit was fresh and delicious. My husband had the sausage Benedict. He said the hollandaise sauce was just "ok" but he ate it all. To me, the benedict looked like a rather small to medium sized portion, but my husband seemed satisfied. My son had the chocolate chip pancakes and said they were great. I had a few bites myself and they were very good. The only negative I would say is that our waitress checked on us a little to much, lol. It's like every few minutes she had to stop by and ask if everything was ok or if we needed a coffee refill when it was obvious we didn't so that was a little annoying. Also, i thought our food took a pretty long time to come out. The food was warm although we would have preferred it be a little warmer. Overall, it was a good experience. Place was clean and the food was pretty good and it's not bad to pay under $30 for 3 people to eat. We'd be back again.

This place does exactly what it says on the outside; it's a diner and it stays open 24 hours a day. It's got diner food; burgers, breakfast food, and sloppy sandwiches. I'm not expecting a gourmet three-course meal when I come here. I'm expecting to spend less than $20 for a plate of eggs, potatoes, and some sort of meat. It's good, solid stuff that you could find in a dozen other cities. It's fairly veg-friendly, as in, you're not going to get stuck eating just toast and eggs with no other options. It's well-lit, like any good diner should be. The night staff is especially nice, and while service can be slow at times (even when the restaurant is pretty empty), that's nothing to be upset over. You've gone to an all-night diner; if you want instantaneous service, there's a Wendy's and a Taco Bell on the same stretch.

I went into the restaurant on a Sunday morning expecting mediocre breakfast food at best. I ordered a ham and cheese omelette and when it came out it tasted terrible. My friend dining with me had no problems with his food so I asked him to taste my breakfast in case it was me, he politely spit it into his napkin. With only 1.5 bites of food taken I wanted to alert the waitress. She became upset asking for a more detailed reason I was displeased. I explained it tasted like dirty dishes (to which it did). She offered no apology and no solution to the situation she merely said "Well even if I take it away you will still have to pay for it." I then asked to speak with a manager. The Manager went into the Kitchen and brought out my cold uneaten breakfast back to the table (as if to offer me a second chance to eat it). She asked what was wrong and I explained the situation. She too offered no solution, she said "Well if they remake your food they will use the same eggs, ham, and cheese so it will not be different." She explained I would still be expected to pay for the food I did not consume, which I never asked to be taken off. Walking in with the most minimal expectations and being let down was frankly annoying. The 6 dollar breakfast I paid for will cost them any repeat business from myself. I also will be sharing my experience with as many people as possible.

I thought the food here was actually quite good, that is, for a 24-hour diner. I liked this place. It was significantly less smoky than "My Friends". Compared to My Friends I think this place has better food and a better atmosphere, although not much better enough to keep me going here all the time. Still, I slightly preferred Gold Coast as a 24-hour place...it has the most spacious atmosphere and the best desserts, and I think their food would tend to be better, although not universally. The service here is better than at Gold Coast, however.

It has been a while since I ate in here, for reasons not related to the quality of the restaurant. Stopped in recently on a weekend afternoon for my favorite, the quesadilla. This is the diner version of a quesadilla, very mild, and I like it and have been getting it for years. I was happy to find it was still the same as it ever was and in fact the ingredients were better/fresher than I remembered, though it could have been served a little hotter. Since my waitress was otherwise polite and professional, I'll blame the delay on the people at the next table who had to ask her two dozen questions seemingly unrelated to a food allergy or medical diet before they just picked something. Fortunately they seemed happy with what they finally got. I think they got new booths, other than that the place also looked the same. It was reasonably clean and the other afternoon diners were the usual mix of hipsters, families and retirees. The prices may have gone up a buck per plate since 2005 but it's not like everything is $15.95 now. I looked at the breakfast prices and most of the stuff was from 3 to 6 dollars, about what I expect from a diner. My only minor complaint was that they only had 2 fountain sodas (the rest were in cans at a different price with no free refills) and no unsweetened iced tea. I did the healthy thing and drank water and hot coffee, which was good. As Bob Seger said, still the same. Baby Babe you're still the same...

came here with a few individuals after a night out. we thought we were going to get some adequate service. our server was rude & disrespectful. we ordered some salads....tell me why we got onions on a plate. ok section 8. don't get me started on the dessert. very hard & overpriced. at the end of the day, the $15 I spent here could have been spent on crunch wrap supremes. never again.

Open 24 hours, but the late-night menu is smaller than the daytime menu. Similarly, they serve breakfast 24 hours a day, but the breakfast items you can order are limited the later it gets. I've never had a bad breakfast here. You can order an omelette with egg whites only if you please. My favorite breakfast is the stuffed croissant -- a Western omelette croissant sandwich. It comes with hash browns or fruit. Generous portions of everything. Certain lunch/dinner menu items are sketchy -- I wouldn't order a burrito if I were you, but the French dip sandwich is pretty good. The banana cheesecake is also amazing. Highly recommend. Overall, not a bad joint to eat if you're hungry in the morning or the middle of the night. Spice up a few of those sandwiches, and they might get 4 stars!

This place is really hit or miss. I'm guessing they have different cooks frequently because my stir fry is always different. Sometimes a lot of sauce, sometimes barley any where it is almost just like rice, veggies and chicken. Service also depends on the waiter you get. There are a couple of good waiters here but you can definitely tell some of them hate their job and don't really care to service you.

I've been going here sporadically most of my 41 years on this planet. There was a time where it was a pretty good diner. Its not anymore. I'd hold off leaving a negative yelp review, but last time was too much not to. First disappointment was the omelette. They obviously use some sort of contraption to make it and its not good. I don't know exactly what they use to make it so bad,but it comes out like some sort of egg loaf, which is the best way I can describe it without carrying on forever. The potatoes taste like they've been sitting out and reheated in a microwave, which might also be how they make the weird omelettes now that I'm thinking about it. Finally, they use gobs margarine on the toast. MARGARINE! Its 2019. People have taste now. Have some self respect and find a better corner to cut.

My first dine at Dianna's was great. After having a few hours of sleep, I found myself here. It was quiet, spacious, and time-efficient. As a young black male, I felt comfortable here. It's a struggle finding places of comfort in the wake of today's social issues but Dianna's hospitality was a positive change. I order a three-stack of French tossed with almonds and two scrambled eggs with a hot chocolate and water to drink. The waitress was amazing and used phrases like: "my sweetheart" and "my baby." I recommend dining here.
