Went here on a random recommendation from one of the staff at the hotel I stayed in. This was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had at a diner. That's saying a lot. The menu was great. Totally would stop here again.

A charming, family diner feel. I've only had their omelets because they're so good.

A slice of Americana hidden in an unassuming looking building. If you're looking for some classic diner food for fantastic prices in a proper diner setting, come here. Service was super fast and the food was delicious. I highly recommend it and will be coming back myself.

My grandmother always went here. A place of many memories. One of my favorite diners. I always love looking at all the old pictures of celebrities on the back wall. I'm shocked no one previously mentioned their famous cream of broccoli soup - so rich and creamy! I always get that.

A true throwback to an early 1970s diner-type restaurant, right down to the Seeburg Consolettes at each booth. Food was good and portions generous. Service was good. Be aware - cash only, no cards. ATM available. Try the Rubin!

I have been going to the Gourmet since 1970 as a youngster. Always good food and friendly staff.
It’s good comfort food and plenty of it.
There are times when it can take a bit for your food when staff is short. However their friendliness more than makes up for it.
Sundays are busy. Church goers flock there after services.

The best diner you could go to, very friendly and welcoming staff. Doesn't matter what you order, everything on the menu is good. Added the menu since I couldn't find it elsewhere

The Gourmet is an institution. Classic dinner experience, its been there my whole life and more. I live out west now but have to get breakfast here at least once every time I come. This time around I got a benedict. The eggs florentine with added Canadian bacon. Their hollandaise sauce is excellent. I also got the loaded home fries with onions, peppers and more hollandaise. I was a glutton to be sure but I finished it all!
Cash only so bring your bills! They can get pretty full during the brunch/lunch rush.

Great little diner to stop for breakfast. It was quick service and a full menu. I had the French toast and bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich. Smaller place, but I enjoy a cozy spot, so I didn't mind. Staff were all very friendly, and everything came out quick. Would absolutely recommend and would go again.

I pick up breakfast here pretty frequently, and I love the food. 10/10 service as well! Very fast, and the waitresses are wonderful. Specifically Isabella, she’s been there most times I’ve gone and she’s always so friendly and has a smile on her face and it makes the experience even better! Would recommend going here !

Place was super small and it felt like people are always hovering over you, bread for my sandwich was stale, portion sizes are tiny compared to other diners, and to top it off, they don’t appear to have fountain drinks and instead give you cans. That would be fine, except they charge 2.50 for 1 can of soda. More

I just thought I would post and saw how great the food is here portion size is good and food is delicious. My best friend and I just ordered food and we opened the bag to see these wonderful people threw in a quote and chocolate cookies and it truly made our day. Then when we bit into the cookies our day got even better lol.
