Best kept secret in the area! Not only was the food great, it came out steaming hot and tasted amazing! The staff was accommodating and very nice. If you’re in the area, I highly encourage you to stop in a grab a bite!

Note that the below review is for the Thai place that was here before A&G diner. Fall 2024: This is a little family run gem. It is a bit of a drive for us, but worth it. Note - this is a full service restaurant that has been converted to ordering at a counter, then you go up and get the food when they call your name. You pay after eating. This had been done in the best way. Super welcoming, provided glass water goblets with ice, metal silverware and napkin on a tray. To fill with self serve water, iced tea, or canned soda. You bus dished to a very well equipped area. Staff came by to check on us. So an interesting combo - sort of counter service plus. Excellent fried rice. Different type of mushroom than usual. Unique sticky rice & mango - black rice (really purple) that has a bit more chew than sticky white rice. This place is lovely and the type of family owned and run place we like to support. We will definitely return.

This place wonderful! Portions are big and the food is outstanding! The Greek lemon chicken soup is the best I have ever had. The cup of soup is the size of a bowl. This is our first time here and we were pleasantly surprised. Everything was great, including the service. Very friendly! We will definitely be coming back again and again.

Our beloved local Thai restaurant has converted to this diner. They are now open with many delicious choices on the menu, including breakfast all day. My Chicken Souvlaki was tender and flavorful. The onion, pepper and tomato on the skewer were cooked perfectly, which I'm picky about because I don't like raw onions. Entrees come with 2 sides so I had the house salad. I forgot to say "no onions" but the server re-made it quickly with no fuss. For a side salad the size was pretty big. Their green beans were never in a can and melt in your mouth. Very big portions for the price. My server was very attentive and helpful at answering questions about the menu. Overall a very friendly and welcoming place, both the chef and owner came over and said hello. Will definitely be back.

WOW, AMAZINGLY EXCELLENT food Pretty sure there is not going to be a bad dish or even a fair dish here! EVERYTHING we had was cooked to PERFECTION (ESPECIALLY the onion rings), and the flavoring of everything was spot on too! We had Ms Laura as our waitress; She was VERY VERY GOOD, her recommendations were GREAT, easy to talk to, and attentive to everything, THANK YOU Ms. Laura! The owner/chef made his way around to each table as folks dined to make sure everything was good as well. At the end when the bill arrived, there was a small discount if paying with cash, love this option! THANK YOU A&G Diner for a great dinner and experience for our anniversary dinner!

We went here for brunch as a family and were pleasantly surprised. There seemed to be one waitress, so that concerned us, and our daughter said, "She looks grumpy," but she ended up being amazing. The food is amazing and we love the music. Even the cook or the owner came out and said hello to everyone. Don't let the parking fool you. The parking stinks, and the layout of the plaza is horrible. A&G quickly made up for this with the quality of their food and their amazing prices. This is our new favorite place and we will support this restaurant in the future. απο την οικογενεια μας στην οικογενεια σας, σας ευχαριστουμε και ο Θεος σας εχει καλα
