Editorial Review for Blue Plate Diner – by Peter Behle
The Scene
It's small, colorful and bright, with cheerful music on the jukebox and an Elvis portrait above the bar. It gets crowded on weekend mornings and during the dinner rush, so be prepared for a short wait.
The Food
Breakfast is the star, with unusual twists offered on the usual array of morning menu choices. Huevos rancheros Lobiani, for example, substitutes a huge biscuit for tortillas. Omelettes and Blue Benedict are also popular. Lunch and dinner is mostly about sandwiches and burgers. Larger specialties include chicken-fried steak (smothered in a killer ham-filled country gravy) and meat loaf. Don't miss the flavored mashed potatoes--pesto lovers will die for the intense basil, while the garlic and horseradish choices also get high marks.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyAll-you-can-eat specials are available Monday through Friday for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
What to DrinkSince the Blue Plate is close to a school, state liquor laws mandate that no alcohol can be served. So stick with a cup of joe or sodas, in true diner style.

I think the more you're recognized, the worse the service. Not rude or anything, but keep forgetting everything you asked. dirty mugs, if you don't mind.

Parking is awful because there is none. The food was above average. Service and price were pretty good. Great place to watch people or have a casual meal with friends. I'll be back.
Pros: Good food, Nice variety
Cons: No Parking
