City Cafe Diner is located on Drake Avenue next to Cracker Barrel and is open 24/7. Negative Nancy Alert!!! I have three words to describe the dishes we tried: Pre Packaged, Preservatives and Chaos. The decor is nice but that's about where the compliments stop. The waiters/waitresses were confused and had a hard time answering questions for us or the people around us. We tried a diner staple the meatloaf with gravy and mashed potatoes and also the mediterranean tour.
Meatloaf: It was a pressed flat patty of meat like product covered with a pre-fab brown gravy and what could be the worst instant potatoes I have ever tasted. This dish was a fail on all points. It was also served with rice and vegetables.
Mediterranean Tour: Moussaka, Spinich Pie and Lasagna are three of our favorite things but each was mediocre. The moussaka was okay but missed that distinctive flavor punch. The lasagna was okay. It didn't knock our socks off but was edible. The spiniach pie was good. The phillo was tough and soggy but the inside stuffing was flavorful with hints of dill and lemon.
They bring a huge loaf of bread to the table along with a complimentary appetizer. It was hummus and tzatziki. we eat ALOT of both and I have to say it was super yucky. The plates have an enormous amount of food on them. I left feeling bad about all the waste of food.
We got to sit next to the dessert area and I watched as they opened pre packaged danish and re-wrapped them in celephane before placing in a basket for purchase.
NOT impressed. If you goal is to eat a huge amount of food and you don't really care about the quality or flavor then this is the place for you. That being said, we did not try any sandwiches or breakfast items.
