I've been to the Austin Diner 25 times over the past couple of years. Probably more. The service has been largely uninspired, drinks have gone un-refilled, the decor is strangely unsettling. Yet I have never had anything other than a wonderful meal. Sometimes an inspired one. I've had their sandwiches and soups and specials and breakfasts and so forth. Honestly, it is just consistently great food at a reasonable price. Half the time I get their tuna salad sandwich on toasted sourdough with swiss cheese. Unbelievable.
