The Good Eats Diner

Have been going for hangover weekend breakfasts for 3 years now, always great service, food and price! I pay 3.50 for my meal including tax (plus tip), 2 egg breakfast no meat, scrambled eggs, homefries and brown toast with a half a bottle of ketchup — the best. The owner is always very nice and welcoming to everyone. I’m gonna miss such a low cost place on the weekends for sure :(& I notice that they have been upgrading things lately, I much prefer the glendale location and have very fond memories held there and not so much at the other location.

update:
it seems that the owner of G.E.D doesn’t learn from the reviews made on their establishment and would rather call myself and the other reviewer liars. when i said to the waitress things were «fine» i was referring to the «replacement meal» i was given. not that the whole experience was fine. and my wife actually did request to speak with the owner but was told they were «busy» and would come see us as soon as they could, which never happened… even when we were standing at the cash. if you don’t make the effort when your employee lets you know and then don’t make the effort when we are at the cash ready to pay it’s not on us, but you that makes your business look bad.
i understand that places do get busy, but when people that came in way after us get waited on and served while we were passed by even after trying to flag someone down that’s poor customer service no matter how you try and explain it. if you knew it would be a busy day then it would have been a good idea to have more staff on hand to handle the rush…
either way this was a live and learn moment and will Unilocal research where we venture next.

Good Eats is your typical «greasy spoon» type diner. They offer breakfast and lunch menus with the expected fare.
I have been going there off and on for the last year for fried eggs and home-​fries. I always enjoyed the food and the staff have always been friendly. The food comes out of the kitchen quickly.
If you are looking for somewhere to get your egg fix, this place does the trick. I got extra home-​fries in substitution of meat.
They close early afternoon around 2pm.

If you’ve ever wondered how anyone could possibly flub such simple breakfast fare as eggs over easy, home fries and pancakes, than The Good Eats Diner is for you! Otherwise, I feel it’s my civic duty to prevent anyone else from making the same mistake that I did this morning by setting foot in The Good Eats Diner at the Homer bridge.
For starters, this location was pretty filthy and we had to wipe down the surfaces ourselves before sitting at the table. The eggs over easy were over cooked and they brought out white toast when we ordered whole wheat. Also, for a bare bones diner with no flare, little menu variety and absolutely no skill in meal execution, charging extra for rye bread and onions on your home fries is a joke. The home fries were dry, undercooked potato with an unmistakably familiar taste of, well, undercooked potato. The pancakes were monsterous and sloppy in presentation with lumpy, uneven edges. They were too thick, far too dense (who even wants dense pancakes?) and had a horrid, baking soda taste that instantly made me question whether they were poured from a box of dollar store variety, mix. The offending pancakes bore no trace of dairy or eggs which would have imparted at least a little sheen, lightness and flavor and to top it off, the surfaces were speckled with pitch black, charred flakes that were either old batter from a dirty pan/​griddle or teflon from a dirty pan/​griddle.
The other offenses that Good Eats are guilty of include; refilling defaced Heinz ketchup bottles with runny, vinegary, off-​brand tomato-​flavoured red sauce, serving the single worst cup of diner coffee I’ve ever had — so bad that for the first time in my life, I refused a refill — supplying only 1 thin napkin with the ‘meal’ and worst of all, the gross misuse of the words, «Good», «Eats» and «Diner» in their name! They should simply be called, «The».
Lastly, I don’t mean to mislead anyone who enjoys 1 star dining. I really wanted to give them a zero star rating but Unilocal doesn’t give that option.
