Main St. Diner

Breakfast club!

I don't know where to begin! So I will take it from the top...it was pretty deserted on Saturday morning, the two other diners set up home at the bar, reading the morning paper and bantering back and forth with the owner. (Bucket list addition: go to the same place for breakfast for 50 years so I can banter and smash talk the owner). We sat down at a booth and noticed it wasn't getting any warmer from coming in from the chilly street...they don't have heat. Well, there are a few space heaters but it can be pretty chilly...so dress accordingly in the colder months. These being said I wasn't wanting to leave, I actually wanted to stay and be a part of this crazy place.

I ordered the breakfast special; typical eggs, toast, meat, and potatoes. The waitress/cook/banter queen served it up in no time flat and for about 5bucks I was all smiles. Will be back!

Continued our quest to find the perfect diner in Cincinnati (which we still haven't found). Went here for breakfast on a Wednesday. Standard diner inside, not crowded. There's a breakfast special for coffee, eggs, toast, hash browns & meat for $4 (ridiculously cheap), but I opted for an egg white omelette instead. The potatoes were very good. Not overly greasy, not overly fried, but not overly spicy, either. Whole wheat toast with jelly, can't go wrong. The omelette was good. Overall, a solid choice. Not mindblowing, but good.

I am writing this review early on a Sunday morning and blaming God for not allowing this place to be open on Sunday's! It's my all time fav greasy spoon here in Cincy!

Breakfast is my favorite meal so you better not skimp on the fixin's and believe you me, this place does not miss a beat. I usually get the "breakfast special" which includes: 2 eggs any style, choice of bacon/sausage/goetta, hasbrowns, toast AND Unlimited refills of coffee or tea. Drumroll please... all for $4.50. Yes you heard that correctly.

Screw all these fancy chains pumpin out breakfast specialsassembly line style right out of the frozen packages. This place is down home cookin. Fresh food to table.Their grill is the greasiest, smelliest, most delicious looking thing that has ever existed. You walk in and you can smell it.

The place hasn't changed their business strategy to keep up with the times. Their mantra is to make you feel like family. Great customer service, you walk in and they bring you your usual. My tea w/ honey and lemon is sitting on the table before she even brings the silverware over. Same waitress every morning. Same owner behind the cash register, (which is ancient by the way).

If you haven't been to this hidden gem, you have been missing out on something really special.
