Dan's Diner - Grand Rapids

We had an incredibly delicious breakfast! The coffee was absolutely out of this world! Our waiter was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed. Our food arrived quickly, which we really appreciated. One interesting tidbit we learned is that this diner originally came from New Jersey and was moved to Michigan years ago—how cool is that? This place is so charming! We'll definitely be back.

I've visited this restaurant twice, and I've been consistently impressed. The first time was last summer when I brought some of our residents, and the second visit was this morning with my husband. The food is fantastic, the staff is friendly, and the owner, Dan, is incredibly personable. It's a really charming 50s diner vibe!

Dan's Diner served the biggest, tastiest, freshest, stacked club on grilled sourdough bread. It was the best I've ever had.

I stumbled upon this hidden gem yesterday, and it was a delightful surprise. The place has a charming old-school atmosphere, and more importantly, the food was excellent. The service was impressive, especially given that they were a bit short-staffed during my visit. I ordered the Cuban sandwich, while my wife opted for the Mile High Club. We were both very satisfied with our meals. I also discovered that they serve breakfast all day long, which is fantastic! It's located behind Capriotti's on 28th Street SE, and I highly recommend it for anyone in the Cascade area.

I loved going to this place when it was Pals, especially because of the atmosphere and some of their dishes. It just made me smile. I was so glad it was reopened. I'm glad they kept the same old time appealing, and it was interesting to see the menu changes. I admit that I felt that some of the prices were a little high, and I was sad to see some things that were normal diner fare no longer on the menu... especially the hot turkey sandwich... the Pal's actually made with a thick slice of turkey and it was like no other. It would be amazing to see this return to the menu. It's a great consolation. My sister and I respectively ordered the enchilada that are depicted. I must say they were very tasty and the presentation was great. I loved the black beans and rice very much. The Enchiladas were really spiced. To dessert we had a shake and it was very good! My only concern is that the pricing for a diner appears a little. It would be nice if there were some cheaper choices on the menu. I also felt that some of the foods just didn't seem to fit the atmosphere... which is a diner. The food I saw coming from the kitchen looked great and appealing, but it looked like it was in a higher kind of branch. I just felt that the menu should reflect more of a 50s theme like the atmosphere. Offers for a more comfort food theme would be nice. If that makes sense. And this is just my own observation: The waiting staff was very attractive and pleasant, and the whole facility was clean: I plan to go back to try some other things.
