5 /5 Chris Donohue: I consider myself somewhat of a diner aficionado around Detroit/Eastside and you have about 3 categories: the Bad (extremely rare), the high end Coney Islands (about 85% of the diners in the area) and then the few Stand Outs.
Dans Diner is a Stand Out. Its extremely high quality but what sets it apart is the special offerings on their menu
First off, their omelettes are unique and incredible. If you want, they put a sauce on top of each one of them.
I got the Italian Sausage omelette with Swiss Cheese and it was very very good. The Italian Sausage pieces were fresh, good size and high quality. The cheese was also high quality and plentiful
What set it over the top though was the Mushroom Sauce they put on top of it. It was awesome! Very high quality mushroom cream sauce and it made an otherwise good omelette into a great one!
Each omelette comes with either cheesy hasbrowns or regular hashbrowns and a pancake or toast.
I dont eat bread but I got the cheesy hashbrowns and then added their hand cut French fries as an extra side
Again, both went above and beyond typical diner fare, with the hash browns being extra crispy and well seasoned and the fries were crispy as well with a unique seasoning.
Again, amongst diner food in the area, Dans stood out and its prices were extremely fair for all the extras each omelette came with
The location is great. Its a great sized restaurant with tons of booths and room. Youre not stacked on top of each other here. I also like that there are a ton of windows at the restaurant.
My service was incredible with multiple waitresses making sure that my coffee and water were filled. Each one of them was extremely pleasant. Food came out quickly.
Highly recommend!
