Misty's Diner

Came to Misty's on a Friday night with a group of 5, for the first time and had a terrible experience. Food took an hour and 15 mins to come out. After about an hour we inquired about the food, at which point the manager seemed to become annoyed at staff - appeared that they forgot our order. Had other tables who had arrived and ordered their food much after us, getting their food first. When the food finally arrived it was sloppy and luke warm. Not worth the wait or the money, as we had spent $200. When we voiced our disappointment, we were offered some free fries - not offered apology from manager or a very good compensation. Instead the waitress told us that they were meant to have a group of 18 that night who had canceled, wasn't clear at all what bearing that had on our food taking over an hour. Will never come back.

I had heard about this place so when I was down in Reservoir one Saturday I decided to go and check it out, and I must say that I didn't expect a full on traditional American diner. Okay, I've never been to America so I can't say what a traditional diner looks like, but this place seemed to tick all of the boxes from what I have gleened out of Hollywood movies. They even had little jukeboxes next to each of the tables which was really cool. However, the set up is probably as far as I would say is good about the place. The Chille Con Carne burger wasn't bad (though I'm not sure if Con Carne and burgers actually work) but the chips were horrible. In fact they were almost ineddible. Oh and the service was really, really slow – it took me ages for my meal to arrive. However, that doesn't excuse the incredibly poor quality when it came to the chips (I hope real diners in the United States aren't this bad).
