Legendary French toast, hearty scrambles, and crisp hash browns
"This diner is famous for its French Toast but it’s worth checking out the rest of the menu, which leans on vegetables and herbs more than ordinary traditional meat-and-potatoes diner fare. Whatever you do, get the biscuit — the only possible criticism we could make is that its texture is a bit scone-like, but if there’s a biscuit-scone convergence happening, we are here for it." - Harry Cheadle
"Three blocks from neighborhood mainstays...Geraldine’s Counter." - Harry Cheadle
"Opened in 2005 and named for Snyder’s mother, Geraldine’s Counter has become a Columbia City neighborhood classic—justifiably famous for its French toast—and, more than the food, Snyder and his team cultivated a welcoming, hospitable atmosphere that customers could clearly feel; Snyder’s larger-than-life personality helped make him the neighborhood’s “unofficial mayor.”" - Harry Cheadle
"We call Geraldine’s Counter a classic diner — an easy, familiar option a short walk from Ark Lodge." - Harry Cheadle
"I miss the counter seating experience at places like Geraldine’s Counter — the casual conversations with customers and sporadic chats with the crew made those visits special." - Gabe Guarente
