Central Diner & Grille

I have eaten there a half a dozen times- the turkey dinner is AMAZING. I've never had breakfast there, but I have also tried the Reuben which was decent and the veggie wrap which was just OK. My biggest complaint is people were telling me how good their tiramisu is, so I got a slice to go. It was TINY. 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" like I've never had such a small piece of tiramisu anywhere. I even questioned the waitress who boxed it up and she said "that's how big it is." The taste was great but I'm sorry it was just two bites worth.

What an ABSOLUTE INCREDIBLE experience we had at this restaurant! Traveling back from the Youngstown Flea made us super hungry. We refused to succumb to fast food. This establishment DID NOT disappoint. Everything was satisfying and tasty. Great portions. And let’s not forget Aiden, who provided the best customer service we have had in a very very long time. Many blessings to the Owners and their staff!

Been hearing about this place from my lady for almost a year. Finally went there. Everything - OUTSTANDING. I got one of the specials - Salmon and Crabcake. Besides the salad (get their house dressing, yum), my other side was pasta with garlic in olive oil. The garlic florets in there were like candy. Service was superior - friendly and fast. Definitely will be back.

We went on a Sunday morning and it was very busy but we only had to wait for 10 minutes. We had an omelet and french toast, and everything was very good and fresh. The waitress was attentative and friendly, and we never went without a coffee refill. I only really have two complaints that stick out. There's nowhere to sit and wait when you get there, and I was trying to avoid colliding with the kitchen staff the whole time. When it's busy, there's a mess in the front when you are trying to pay your bill. They don't take your check at the table, and it causes a mass of people waiting to pay the bill, to be stuck with the other mass of people waiting to be seated. Can get chaotic.

Ok, I am a diner guy. I am driven past this place many times but never had time to stop. On this trip I made the time and boy, am I glad I did I had one of their skillet breakfast. And to be quite honest it could have served two, the portion size was so large! It was very tasty. Heck, I give them five stars for just making sure that toast with buttered correctly. Service was diner good. A little sassy, but just right You can dine in doors or outside in one of two different patios. I will definitely be going back!

My review was based on breakfast. The food was delicious. I ordered eggs over easy with sausage and toast. It can with home fries. Everything was perfectly cooked. The sausage links were large and extremely flavorful. Also to note, we got our food in less than ten minutes after ordering. It was FAST. The atmosphere was nice and clean. It is a nice setting. We were there on a Saturday morning but it wasn't really getting busy until we left around 9:30. The bathroom wasn't super clean when we were there but it appeared to be maintained on a regular basis. The waitress was professional and quick. She did a great job keeping things there and making sure we were taken care of. Would definitely recommend. We will try to make it back for another meal at some point.

After multiple, equally enchanting visits to Central Diner, I find my thoughts converging to a delightful consensus - this is an extraordinary culinary hub bustling with unmatched fervor and a lip-smacking array of dishes.

The menu, an eclectic mix full of tantalising choices, manages to impress every palate, traversing the spectrum from those seeking comfortable familiarity to those seeking culinary excitement. Despite numerous visits, each unfolded a new facet of what this eatery has to offer. An integral part of the Central Diner experience is the staff. The waitress on our recent visit stood out with her proficient service, diving deep into professional empathy to ensure that we were taken care of to the fullest extent. The warmth in her service added that essential touch of personalization often absent in many of today's dining experiences. Moving on to the food, the Chicken Parm here has proven to be an absolute show-stopper. Served generously, it was delectably seasoned and could easily front for more than a couple of courses. Each bite invited another, making it a dish you'd love to come back for. The Poutine was another star dish. Not only was it served in a satisfyingly large portion, but it also hit all the right flavor notes. It was like a sumptuous feast dressed as a side. To sum up, Central Diner, with its vibrant ambiance, delectable variety of food, outstanding service, and generous portions, truly stands out as a beacon of bustling gastronomic joy.
