Wanted to rate them a 5 but I couldn't. The food was delicious and the buss man was amazing and would be right on time for refills. My one complaint is with a few of the staff. It could have been the morning or the fact that literally the day before it wanted to be 66 degrees it snowed, either way some of the staff were a little disconnected. They did their job but the social part was lacking a bit. Their tone was a bit dry and "let's get this over with" sounding. There was a lady that was extremely sweet that wasn't even our waiter that seemed more intuned with us. I'm not going to say the service was bad. I am just going to say today was just not some of their day (we all have them sometimes, no harm done).

Not as good as the other location but very consistent with what they offer. Worth it when you want dinner food which means every style of food Food : 4/5 | Service : 5/5 | Atmosphere : 2/5 … More

Had dinner here this time…the obvious thing to first point out is the neon 80’s vibe you get from the inside decor. This is a diner and you should expect diner food. I was hoping for something home style and comfort-like with gravy. The Steer did not disappoint. The service is decent. You are greeted when you enter and the wait staff did a great job refilling drinks and checking on you. I ordered the breaded veal cutlet with mashed potatoes and gravy. Plus lemon rice soup. (Most entrees come with soup and a basket of bread) The lemon rice was good. I’ve had better at most Greek places. But it did the job. The bread wasn’t as warm as I’m used to. But it was okay. The entree though - everything I was hoping for. Hot. Breaded. Tender. Piled high with gravy. The mashed potatoes were also decent. And I can’t say enough about that gravy!
