Stadium Diner

76/1002.0 mi

Stadium Diner is a beloved local institution serving classic comfort breakfast and lunch with generous portions at fair prices.

Pro tip: Classic diner atmosphere but inconsistent quality keeps it real.

Fresh ingredients; others report old/rotten potatoes and hospital-like preparation.

Food tasted like grandma made it
