Causeway Diner Reviews

What a diner should be. Large portions at low prices. Great diner food and specials daily. French onion soup is fantastic. Gyros, burgers, salads, turkey dinner, tuna melts, whatever a diner makes they have it and soooo good.

FANTASTIC!!! The service was superior & the food fantastic! The portions are really big & not expensive at all. It is the perfect family friendly diner. The Fried Chicken sandwich was huge & the Reuben was as well. The owner is sweet & friendly. Definitely a great place to go & HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Yummy!!!! My husband comes here often after a round of golf and wanted me to try this place. What a gem - the breakfast was outstanding. They KNOW how to properly prepare corned beef hash which is important to those of us who love it. The eggs and home-style potatoes were excellent. Everything was served hot. Good coffee, friendly service.

Hole in the wall but great food and service. We go all the time. Never had anything we didn't like and always a good healthy portion.

We love the 'real' food here! No fake turkey roll on the sandwiches. BTW, the club sandwhich is huge, we always split one. We were up there for dinner ~2 weeks ago - yum!!

Things I loved about this place? Service and food! The coffee was exactly what you hope for in a diner - warm, delicious and quick to be refilled. We both ordered some non-traditional breakfast items which could've honestly gone either way for our opinion of the restaurant. Fortunately, both items were delicious. Here are some things to keep in mind when ordering either of them though: Monte Cristo - if you've had one of those sandwiches from Bennigan's, this one is more like a deconstructed open-face non-fried version without the raspberry jam or powdered sugar and comes with no sides. Still very tasty and plentiful, but definitely different. The bread under the meaty cheesy pile is their delicious French Toast...so you do get a good hint of sweetness. I tried a couple of top-to-bottom bites with a splash of maple syrup and it was pretty good. Give it a try. I was a little surprised that it was JUST the sandwich at that price when so many other similarly-priced items come with home fries, at least. It still filled me up. The Corned Beef Omelette was the type of omelette where all of the ingredients are mixed together and cooked in a single layer and then folded over (Shush! I'm sure there's a term for that but if I don't know it, most of you won't either!). The omelette does not come with cheese unless you add it (Swiss seems like it would be a good choice) and the corned beef is sliced, not chunked. Still very tasty overall. We asked for the Home Fries (came with the omelette) extra crispy and they definitely were that. Since "home fries" means something different nearly everywhere it seems, I'll describe these starchy soldiers for ya. My Southern family would refer to these as "Fried Potatoes" which really just means that they are quartered and sliced potatoes fried in some cooking oil and dashed with some seasoning. I believe these were deep-fried (one of their options), but they probably skillet fry or griddle fry them if you don't ask them to do anything different. I didn't order "Home Fries 4-Ways" so I can't say anything more (no, that's not on the menu btw). Our waitress was super friendly and quick. The interior is about what you expect from a diner. There is plenty of parking (at least on the weekend since they share the lot). We'll definitely head back and try out some other items on the menu next visit.
