City Diner

Category: Food
Sub Category: Diner
Description:There are unwritten yet hard-and-fast rules to diners. For example, a diner is not a diner without counter seating, breakfast anytime, diesel-grade coffee, and just the right amount of kitschy décor and wackadoo people-watching that eating alone actually proves a thrilling event. City Diner, a South Grand favorite, scores on all counts—plus, its friendly-to-all fare is actually good. The fries are hand-cut, the shakes are hand-dipped, and you can order such diner oddities as grilled polenta (a house specialty, ladled with a white wine–shallot–mushroom–sun-dried tomato sauce), smoked pork loin and a veggie burrito. Another diner rule: food that strikes the balance between comforting and curious. Score one more for City Diner.
