Avalon Diner

So we finally went to Avalon Diner. Buffalo Grille is our primary stop for breakfast/brunch related food items and I have rarely been disappointed. However I had heard about Avalon Diner being just as good if not better than Buffalo Grille so we (I) finally got up enough courage to try something different. I am a firm believer of don't mess up a good thing which has really gotten me into a restaurant rut. But I don't like wasting money or calories on food when I know I could have eaten something way better. I think that they call those kinds of people boring. Regardless, we went.
I am sad to report that I was very disappointed with Avalon Diner. I would give it a 3 out of 10. Chris is giving it a 3 out of 5.
The Experience: Well we walked in and there was no sign that said "seat yourself." There was a cashier at the front checking out 2 ladies so I figured at that point that you would take your check up to her to pay. We finally got her attention and asked if we seat yourself. Yes in fact you do. So we found an empty booth (there were only about 3 empty tables including 2 at the front of the restaurant which you would not want). The table was clean as was the booth but the restaurant needs improvement and updating. Its very tired and it has those memorabilia like old coke dispensers etc but its just not cute. After about 4 minutes of us sitting there a couple sat down at the table next to us and about 1 minute later a waitress gave them menus and took their drink order. We were still waiting for menus when the same waitress came back with their drinks and took their order. Finally after probably waiting 15 minutes a lady dropped off two menus and that was it. So we looked it over since it is pretty extensive. She came back later and took our drink order. I ordered water and Chris - a coffee. Then she left so we kept looking. When she brought our drinks back she once again dumped them at our table and left. When she finally came back we got to order. I ordered the western omelet with hashbrowns and a biscuit and Chris had the Cook's Hash or something (with no cheese) and toast. Oh I almost forgot - when Chris got his coffee his mug had ladies' lipstick on it from the previous sipper. But we decided that it would be easier to keep the dirty cup and clean it ourselves than notify our waitress who seemed like the type to not care and spit in it behind the counter. Anyways our order came out at an average pace and it was nothing special. My omelet which was $6.95 had pace salsa in the middle and on top of it. Nothing special at all. Chris' meal look a little more exciting and he said he enjoyed it. Anyways - I decided that Avalon Diner is not a place I will go back to again. They do serve milkshakes and burgers but I don't think that they would be anything special. So in my opinion save your money and your calories and go to Buffalo Grille.
