Sheri's Eastside Diner - Utica

Went to breakfast and everything was very good. Service was ok. They just need people to show up for work. The portions were pretty good, and the pancakes are the size of a plate. The pancakes were made of cornmeal, I personally did not care for them. On the other hand, my wife loved them! Toward the end of our visit, the owner came over and spoke to us, asking us how everything was. She was very pleasant and genuine. The prices are pretty good too. We will definitely be going back, the wife suggested, Let 's try lunch!

We've been here a few times, loved it and have recommended it to others. However, we stopped last Sunday and had such a negative experience that we will certainly hesitate to recommend it to anyone again. It wasn't busy at all but the waitress/owner made us feel very unwelcome by first ignoring us. Then asking if we had ordered she turned her back on us when we said no and we continued to wait anther 15 minutes for her to come over. We were the only ones there! We had to call across the restaurant to ask for a 2nd cup of coffee. Since we're from out of town we wanted to use the restroom before leaving and she made it obvious by words and actions that she preferred we didn't. The negativity coming from her was almost overwhelming. I do not spend money to go out for a pleasant meal to have to work at regaining positivity in order to have an enjoyable day afterwards! Even the best food can't make up for treatment such as we received here.

The only problem was no drink arrived after ordering a soda. Everything else was stellar!

The food was plentiful. The service was fast and efficient. The diner was clean and we all had a great place to eat. We are a group of 15 on vacation. We came to the diner after Bible Class. Most of the kids are a breakfast item. The adults (all but one) ordered lunch items, and we were all satisfied. The lemon, blueberry french toast was amazing. The Greek burger was a mouthful. The wrap was good. The Blondie sandwich was good too.

Cozy atmosphere, very tasty selection of various foods from breakfast until lunch. Very talkative and welcoming atmosphere with good vibes. Had the hamburger omelet before, and it was filling and very mouthwatering. Very clean and neat place. Thumbs up. :)Food: 5/5
