Dimitri's Family Dining

Like a lot of folks I went here after a long hiatus. I have been there twice in as many weeks.  Both times in the morning so I cannot speak to their lunch or dinner menu. The remodel is very nice a big upgrade. We had the same waitress both times and was very nice. Very attentive and quick.  The menu is large but a lot of places like this tend to have similar menus so I can't fault them. The only thing I was kind of so/so on was their hash browns did not have a lot of flavor. Really that is the only thing. Dining area was clean (except the menu was a little grimy), plates and silverware were clean and price was very reasonable.

Just your average diner...  Nothing special about it, maybe the prices...  I had an omelette that was okay...no wowing going on at this restaurant.  It's the kind of place geezers and blue hairs frequent for their mashed taters, and meatloaf...  Nothing against old people....I LOVE OLD PEOPLE!!  It is what it is...we chose this instead of the coney island it neighbors...I think next time, I'd try the coney...just to see...

I was here just a couple weeks ago after a hiatus of several years. The remodel has this place looking more welcoming, for sure. How's the food?

First of all, the menu is WAY. TOO. BIG. It's a novel, and easily the longest menu I have ever seen. Any "real" chef would say the same thing. With that said, I went basic. I chose to get a coney dog with chili cheese fries and lemon rice soup.

The hot dog itself tasted straight out of the super market. Boiled. No snap on the dog at all. The chili wasn't bad, but seemed to be out of a can. The cheese sauce was likely from a can as well, but it had a surprisingly decent flavor. The lemon rice soup was nearly perfect, though it's pretty difficult to mess up lemon rice soup, in my opinion. If you like thinner lemon rice, this is the choice for you.

Alright, the decor is tolerable. The food is inexpensive. That's all fine and good. It's just that the food isn't that great, and the portions are HUGE. I suppose that's fine for the average American, but I felt bad when I had to have them toss out about half of my fries because they put so friggen many on my plate. Don't bother coming here if you're on a diet.

3/5. I wouldn't be opposed to come here, but it's certainly not first on my list.
