I'm not sure why some of the other reviewers for this restaurant had complaints about the service. Perhaps they mistook ""busy"" for ""rude"". There was just the owner and two waitresses when I went, and they didn't have a lot of time to stop and say ""hi"" and seat you and chat you up. I didn't mind this, it meant that I got my food faster.
As for some of the 1-star reviews that I've read for this restaurant: the owner must have hired different girls, because that's the only explanation for the 180-degree difference between their stories and mine.
I happened to arrive at 12pm, which as it turns out is their single busiest time of the day. So I had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. But once we got seated the service was quick and friendly. But not over-friendly in a fake way: I appreciated that. The waitresses were quick and efficient.
The food...oh, the food. The sliders were so good, and the sauce on it was so tasty, that I didn't need to eat it with ketchup. And I always eat burgers with ketchup. The chocolate malt was so good that I just couldn't stop drinking it once I started. Addictive. I almost had to order another one.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS FOR BLUEPLATE. It was fantastic. Besides, if it's good enough for Guy from the Food Channel to show up there, it is in the top 1% of all food joints in the United States.
Pros: Great food, fantastic shakes
Cons: Not a lot of seating
