    Food is always good, service excellent as well. Glad they opened the ice cream on the side porch however it's not very inviting, more like a storage area. We stopped a week or so ago and the ice cream was excellent, very creamy and perfect consistency. My daughter was glad they changed their 'recipe' as she only agreed to go because other ice cream shops in the area were closed. Well apparently they went back to the old ice milk she remembered tonight ... Chocolate was too dark and the vanilla was off white and fast to melt. Hopefully they go back to the better flavor or we will be going a few miles further for ice cream in the future.

    Food is always great but service usually lacks and if it's hot out the AC can't keep. Sat eating my meal sweating like crazy!!! Need to invest some money into the building as they do have the food figured out!!!!

    Ok, this place would have gotten 4 stars had the place been a little nicer, but, hey, it's a diner. Very happy with food, large portions, enjoyed the chili. If you like no-frills good diner food, you'll like this place. Will definitely be back.

    Tonight I had their turkey dinner. Real home cooked turkey. In house made mashed potatoes. It was so good and filling. My husband had their fried chicken and loved it. Worth a trip if you are looking for good home cooking.!

    Went to the place with limited expectations. My daughter was whining we had to go. Real negative start. We got there, kind of fun, 50's motif. The food was ridiculously good. My daughter had fried chicken that was enormous in portion and really tasty. She loved it. I had a great turkey dinner. Gone a few more times by my daughter's choice. Great, inexpensive eats.

    I would like to start by saying that this place is a 2.5. I was always a little skeptical of this place since they are called "The Diner" and also have Chinese food. (I love Chinese food, but would prefer it from a Chinese restaurant.) My husband and I came here for breakfast last Sunday and it looked like a great place with home-style cooking. There were no issues with parking and we did not have to wait to be seated. The inside also had that "diner feel" and I regretted not coming here sooner. Immediately upon being seated, I started to question my regrets. There was a giant dying moth on our sticky table and I understand that it could happen anywhere- it just had me feeling a bit uneasy. There was a very small selection of breakfast choices; yet, 1/3 of the entire menu was Chinese food. The prices of breakfast options were average and we did have a coupon, which was excepted without an issue. My husband and I got the "Diner Two's" meal, which was two pancakes or french toast, two pieces of meat, and two eggs. Ultimately, everything was just OK. Not bad, but really nothing special. The eggs could have used some salt and pepper, the sausage could have been cooked a little more and my husband was unhappy because his french toast did not include cinnamon and powdered sugar as it said on the menu. To give the place some credit, the service and bacon were good.

    Good old down home diner. Great food, low priced and a plate full. Only been there for breakfast and wish I could go back everyday for the rest of my life. Sausage gravy biscuits are to die for. Wait staff was very friendly along with the chef. It's definitely a locals joint but we're new to town and the waitress made us feel very welcome. The diner was clean, booths were comfortable and they also have an old bar to sit at. This place is truly a hidden gem!

    I've been here twice and I was really intrigued that they served pizza/hoagies as well as Chinese. The Chinese was surprisingly good, it was really fresh and they have a Chinese chef. It's great because my husband doesn't like Chinese food so we can go here . And he can get a calzone and I can have Chinese. The staff is also really friendly and the place is very clean. We'll go again!

    I drive past here daily, so one day when my brother was home from Iraq we decided to go. The waitress was extremely rude, didn't greet us for 5 minutes, and was very short with us when taking our order. It was 10am on a Wednesday morning, they were dead. She instantly greeted the other customers that came in after us. I won't be going back, nor would I recommend to a friend.

    We just visited the Oakdale Diner. I guess considering it had the word "diner" in its title I had higher expectations for our visit, especially considering it was for breakfast. I had the big breakfast with four sausage links, three eggs, frozen potatoes, and toast. My wife had french toast and bacon. The kids had Mickey chocolate chip pancakes. Overall I would compare the food to slightly above Kings Restaurant. In the breakfast hierarchy, Eat N Park is the worst, then Denny's, Kings, and then you venture to Bob Evans, with Cracker Barrel leading the chains. It wasn't a bad breakfast, I was just expecting more, because of the diner in the title. I wanted homemade potatoes, not frozen. In addition, I felt the meals were 1.00 or so a bit overpriced. Service was fantastic! I would eat here again, but need to hit Pamela's first!

    The Oakdale Diner has reopened under new management as of 4/2011. I found the food and service (wonderful baked goods as well) to be great, the prices comparable to pancake houses, and the atmosphere a retro trip to the '50's-very fun!

    Good value, good food, friendly service. Hey, it's a diner, and the food is like grandmas place. Check it out. You won't be disappointed. Roast beef and home style mash potatoes & gravy? Man, I think I'm hungry again!!!

    It was always a running gag between us and the rest of our friends when we drove by to see that their special for the day was "club sandwich" or something equally as generic. My girlfriend and I finally walked into the establishment one summer day to bite the bullet and try the infamous diner. The food wasn't BAD but it was just average. The thing that really got me was how expensive it somehow all was. The other troubling thing was the fact that our waitress looked like she was 13 and had literally at least 7 piercings around her face. I really can only fault the price but the whole place was just weird. Everyone in the diner felt like an extra from Men in Black where you try and guess if they're an alien in disguise. It's kind of intriguing in its simplicity and ambiguity but once you get in there you realize it isn't doing it on purpose. It's just horribly mismanaged.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
