Addi's Diner

Meh, this place was ok. It has a cute retro hole in the wall look to it, which usually means pretty decent food for a pretty decent price.

The prices were great! The thing is, my food was mediocre. I got the breakfast burrito and it came out in a tortilla that wasn't even that warm. It was unrolled at both ends (how am I supposed to pick it up?) and it was, honestly, not that big. It wasn't even fully stuffed... my first few bites were tortilla only. Not that impressed.

The food is delicious and super cheap.  The atmosphere is a little weird, but you get used to it.  There is a lot to look at.  The only downfall is their hours, but it just means you have to get out of bed at a reasonable time.  I would definitely love to go back if I'm in Springfield again.

I am so sorry I have to give this cute little diner 3 stars. I wish a more precise rating method was offered, but as far as our breakfast this morning goes,  I am being fair. I had the TrainWreck plate.. Deep fried home fries/cubes topped w a scramble of ham (I subbed bacon, as I am not a ham fan) eggs, onion, bell pep, tomato, mushroom, topped w cheese and sausage gravy... and I ordered a biscuit... It was huge. If you enjoy large portions, you're gonna be happy! The problem w my breakfast was the sausage gravy. It was horrible!!!!!!!!!!! I have not had gravy this bad in years! I usually order my gravy on the side until a restaurant has passed my stringent gravy test and thank goodness I did. I knew the second I saw it, looking all gelatinous, rather than roux-ish, that it was prob canned. My BF (who is easier to feed) wouldn't eat it. That say a LOT! There was so little sausage in it, that I was thanking my lucky stars I didn't order my staple: chicken fried steak. I would have returned it, simply due to the gravy.

BF ordered the breakfast burrito and he said it was ok, but thought it was supposed to be a grilled tortilla. They filled a plain white tortilla with the egg filling. Again, I'd have returned mine to the kitchen to have them grill the outside. I can't eat uncooked flour tortillas.. Too doughy. His hash browns were yummy and cooked crisp, as requested.

My coffee was decent, the price was niiiiice and our sweet waitress(es) kept tabs on us making sure we had what we needed.

So, as much as we wanted to give a 5 star rating... It just was not earned. The 3rd star was due to price alone. Addi's offers a v fair price point.

We will give Addi's another go around and next time we have a plan in place. Order pancakes and/or French Toast, a side of bacon, for me, a side of links and hash browns for my honey.
