    Ordered a cheeseburger via phone call. I was never asked what I want on it. I get the burger and it is plain with no veggies, no sauce, no Ketchup, nothing. Meat had little flavor. I called in to share my opinion that they should have asked me what I wanted on it if it was going to be a super plain burger. If I am not asked what I want on it, it is reasonable to expect the basics of lettuce and tomato on it. Guy on the phone took zero responsibility. Didn't acknowledge they made a mistake when taking a phone order. And then started getting passive aggressive by judging that I ordered a cheeseburger at 11 AM. That is none of his concern and I let him know as much.

    Cosy and pleasant breakfast specialty joint, friendly staff and tasty food at good prices - $20 for a single breakfast with too much food to fit on one plate is a win in my book!

    Great old school neighborhood diner. I feel like you ca judge a diner by their home fries, and Dempsey’s are excellent. My go-to is an omelette, which are huge.
