Menlo Park Diner

I have eaten at the Menlo Park Diner in the past and was always satisfied. However, after the last visit, I would never go there again. We ate there on August 2 (Saturday night - prime time). First of all, one of us wanted to order off of the kid's menu (this patron was 12). The waitress told her that if she was not 10 years old or under that she would be fired for serving her a kid's meal and that ""they"" were watching. Pros: food wasn't bad Cons: the attitudes of employees and owner really stink more

In the evening of Monday, 04/28/2008, we made the mistake of ordering a bowl of pasta with butter for my two year old daughter and shame on us for not checking the price of this item. It was $6.95 for a bowl of spaghetti with butter. We ordered three additional sandwiches, a BLT, cheeseburger and burger melt and that bowl of pasta was the MOST expensive item! When I asked the manager about the expensive price he snorted, ""What can I do about it?"" Astonished I quickly responded, ""Well you could take it off (the bill)."" This place is disgusting. Don't get me wrong the food was fine, the ambiance is pretty and I still tipped the waitress. But this place made me sick. I shouldn't have been surprised - the place was basically empty. Pros: good location Cons: unnecessarily expensive more

Great food, great atmostphere, low prices. Fun place to bring a family, or romantic enough to bring someone special. I must see. Pros: Great food, service more

The wait staff, as well as the management, is slow, neglectful, and incredibly rude to their customers. The orders are neither filled in a timely fashion, not are accurate. Terrible customer service. Do NOT support this establishment! Cons: , obnoxious owner, slow service more
