I was scared off for quite awhile of trying this place because of all the ""unfriendly"" reviews. The menu/feel though looked exactly like what I typically like and its so close that I eventually did try it and was not dissapointed! The staff was a bit quiet but not unfriendly at all to me, in fact I saw someone compliment the food and engage in a 5 min conversation w/ the cook sharing recipe tips and food history. The food was good, warm, filling, tasty. I like to get the Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup, and if Im extra hungry its only $2 to add on a slider. It's a simple lunch counter/soda shop w/basic fare and the staff was just fine. I can see where if you had very high customer service expectations you could have a problem, as they don't always greet and act super overly friendly like I see so many servers in chain restaurants acting. For a real, simple tasty experience though, Blueplate was just the ticket.
Pros: Hideaway spot, awesome sliders, tasty grilled cheese/tomato soup
Cons: not much seating
