The Shiny Diner

1st time going here. Parking lot is small. Inside is small. We weren't greeted upon entering, even though the entrance threshold is mad small. There was a sign up that says text a number & that's what put us on the waiting list. We walked over to REI, for about 10 min before getting a text that our table was ready. Our waitress was ok. The tea and food was good. Wasn't a fan of the presentation of the Oreo pancakes. The waitress initially forgot to make them "Oreo", took the plate then came back with the pic, just crushed Oreos on top of the pancakes, idk if that's how they would've came if they were made right to begin with or if the Oreos were supposed to be inside but blah. But everything was delicious & the portion size is worth the money. Prices are reasonable. Would recommend.

This place was super cute my son loved it. 5 stars because wow! Went out with the family after taking a hard exam. After we were done eating my son expressed that he felt sick… (didn’t eat that morning, and ate to quickly) not even 10 seconds later.. boom.. threw up in the middle of the entry way.. I ran him outside and a waitress came to check on him, brought him napkins, water and crackers… cleaned up his mess and still making sure he was alright. Obviously I felt terrible but she was just so amazing. I feel like I wouldn’t get that experience anywhere else! I didn’t grab her name but she had the cutest popcorn chain (think it was for hand sanitizer). Thank you so much!

I’ve loved The Shiny Diner since it came to Cary years ago. They have a great variety of delicious food, their prices are very reasonable, the staff is so nice and helpful, and I love playing the old tunes on the jukebox. So much fun! I usually get breakfast types of meals for brunches when I visit but I have had other items on the menu and they’ve all been delicious! The Shiny Diner Is the perfect place to bring the family or catch up with friends.

We had a great time at the diner! I enjoyed the house chips a lot. The menu had a a good amount of options, and we enjoyed the two plates that we ordered: WHOA waffle sandwich and Ruth’s Ruben. The staff was very friendly, and the seats were comfortable where we enjoyed our early lunch together. We’ll be back when we are in the area.

It was packed over the weekend and glad I waited. They had a sign inside with a number to text your name and party size. There is a bar but way too many people were standing in the doorway waiting so we opted for a table. Ten mins later we sat and another ten to order. Got a carafe of coffee and we were good to go. The Big IMP Omelette is cheesy, has a pound of bacon, sausage and ham, but it wasn't greasy. The chicken fried steak was seasoned well and crunchy. The rye toast was buttered generously and probably my favorite part about the meal. From what I saw coming out of the kitchen, the chicken and waffles or the French toast are in line for the next visit. Can't wait to try dinner!
