    I'm sorry to say this I was very disappointed I was there at the diner earlier today with two of my friends and I order bowl of chicken soup half of the bowl was half empty she almost fell a few times she dropped a lot of glasses with water and ice on the floor the most surprising it was a huge chicken bone in the soup and when I told the waitress and I saw her the bone nicely I say I didn't really know it's a bone in the chicken soup and she tells me know it's not nobody came to say I'm sorry nothing and when we left one of my friends say why you did not say anything to the manager and I thought about it and that's why I'm posting this they were very rude and not so clean I've been trying to find the email of the owner sorry I was very disappointed but I was nice enough to live a very good tip to the waitress even though she's not worth it

    Would have been a solid 4 stars but the lack of service really left a bad impression. Took 20 minutes to get our orders in, and another 30 to get our food.

    Susan is AMAZING. The reviews do not lie, you come for the food but you stay for Susan. 10/10 recommend coming here. And they are great for gluten free - my brother has celiac and they have a separate fryer and everything.

    The owner was very kind and welcoming, but the kitchen staff—particularly the chef—could benefit from additional training. My food was served cold, taken back to the kitchen, and returned reheated in a microwave, which significantly affected the quality. With proper food handling and preparation standards, this place has the potential to be much better.

    Empire Diner absolutely deserves all the stars! From the moment we walked in, the energy was warm and welcoming — but the true highlight of our visit was Susan, our waitress. She is a superstar. Susan remembered every single order at our table without writing anything down — and didn’t miss a beat. Not one swap, not one modification… nothing! I don’t know how she does it, but it was seriously impressive. On top of that, she kept us laughing the entire time. Her humor, personality, and timing were perfect. It honestly felt like we were being served by a stand-up comedian who also happens to be incredibly good at her job. The food was delicious, the service was fast, and Susan made the whole experience unforgettable. If you’re going to Empire Diner, ask for Susan — she’ll make your day! Highly recommend this place. 💛
