What people say, in short

Eleven City Diner receives breakfast endorsements and praise for its diner setting. One commenter specifically likes the crisp exterior and fluffy center of the diced potatoes. Price attracts reservations, and one dissatisfied diner finds large portions no substitute for quality. A favorable visitor describes a large menu and a crowded room with fairly quick table turnover, not a guarantee of an immediate seat.

    Calls it a hard pass: portions are big but quality is lacking, though the service stood out.
