The Diner: Menu & Drinks

But it's the food that takes center stage! The Diner is dedicated to supporting local farmers and making everything from scratch. These qualities will keep you returning because every dish celebrates hearty, homestyle cooking.

Come early for the quintessential diner breakfast. The Diner's chicken fried steak is a crispy, tender masterpiece. Smothered with made in-house sausage gravy, eggs, and scallion, served with a side of your choice of potatoes, it's a dish that embodies comfort on a plate.

Few things evoke the feeling of a diner quite like a well-made Reuben. At The Diner, their classic Reuben is a comforting delight, served with corned beef and pastrami, sauerkraut, swiss, and 1000 Island dressing on house-made rye.

The Diner also has a selection of craft beers and wines and a full bar if you want to enjoy a cocktail with your brunch or lunch! Several Bloody Marys, espresso-based cocktails, and others join classic selections like coffee, hot cocoa, and iced tea.

The Diner's menu is a testament to the enduring appeal of American comfort food. It's the kind of place where you can savor a familiar favorite or explore a new dish that quickly becomes a cherished go-to.
