The Nook Diner

Work nights, so I stop in to get a brekkie to go every now & again. Have also dined in many times. Great vibe, good food, with an old style diner setting. Kind of my go-​to place…

I came just after the lunch rush and it was still packed. The service was quick and the food arrived very shortly after I ordered. Delicious Reuben sandwich! Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere. I’ll certainly come back!

Fast friendly service. The breakfast is great.

The nook has copies of the Sun sitting around to read over breakfast. I read one while I waited for my friend to arrive and have a pre-​work breakfast with me. In the meantime I had a cup of earl grey tea and some time to sit and survey the place. It is a well-​preserved example of the diners which can be found throughout the city. The seats are bench-​style and the entire range of people who live in West Broadway and Wolseley might stop in at any time. I once walked by the patio and observed a man sitting opposite to a giant teddy bear. They both had a beer sitting in front of them.

Anyway, I ordered:
Spanish Omelet, which comes with toast and hash browns.
The omelet was well prepared, the toast was buttery, the hash browns were made with real potatoes. Overall it was a good place to eat, but not an exceptional one. What makes it a winner is the atmosphere, the feeling that there is a strong community built around it, and very friendly staff. I would like to come back for lunch and dinner sometime and see what the rest of their menu is like. But based on breakfast alone I felt that it was worth the money I paid for it.

No nonsense, straight ahead diner. Had a great Ruben, my friend a decent chicken club. Not much on atmosphere, but quick service, honest food, prepared well

Great place for Wolesley and West Broadway dwellers to grab a classic breakfast special or eggs benny!
