Manchester Diner

An interesting experiment in small town snobbery. Initially our server was a very pleasant young woman with an injured leg who quickly vanished and was replaced by a not very pleasant older woman who took our order but did not bring our food. We had to ask at counter for a check. Reasonably talented guitar player for ambiance. Our waitress spent most of her time socializing with his fans/family. Someone in the kitchen, however, is trying hard. The soup of the day strongly tasted of cilantro and lime but was overall quite stimulating and enjoyable. Next time I go I will be more adventurous in my choice of entree. I was glad the first waitress recommended the soup. So if you go here try the specials! One star off for the service, but the food is good.

Best Ruben I have ever had and only $12. The food here is amazing and the portions are huge, especially for the price. Thankfully we live close, but well worth the drive from Ann Arbor.

I had "the local" ($8.75 - as of 7/22) with bacon. With all the homemade offerings on the menu I almost opted for the homemade sausage patty. I'm glad I stuck with the bacon however because this was two strips of about the thickest bacon I've seen anywhere, And very tasty. You get your choice of three homemade jams, And I opted for the blueberry which was a little bit thin but it was a perfect compliment for the sourdough bread.
The coffee was above average too.
The diner is a family affair and it shows.

I think Leslie is great and I really like what she has done with the diner. It has a nice fresh new look and the food is good.

I had a nice garden salad and the lentil curry soup, which I loved, and My boyfriend had her special-of-the week pesto grilled cheese sandwich and fries. Perfect brunch for a cold day.

Super happy we tried this place. The food was outstanding. I don't know, but a lot of it felt like it was hand made in house. Definitely recommend this place.
