Gardenview Diner

"We called ahead (party of 5) on a busy Saturday morning, assuming they would be busy. We were told they weren't busy so we decided to take our kids. When we arrived, it was busy as usual with only 2 available tables about 10 minutes after I called. We were told to wait until a table of older men were finished. That idea was out so I proposed we take another table. We waited for 15 minutes before our server, who was very rude, came over to take our drink orders. She also threw menus down on the table and said she had three other tables ahead of us. We were on a time crunch as we had to get the kids to their activities later that afternoon. Knowing we were behind, I asked the server if we could place our food orders with drinks. She said she "can't overwhelm the kitchen like that." Meanwhile, the table behind us, who came in 10 minutes after us .... Already had their drinks and food. While we waited. Moral of the story, the food is good, it's a Liverpool staple, but it's always busy on weekends, and rude service moves it down on my list of desirable places to take my family to eat in town."

"We were seated quickly even though they were pretty busy. The sever was extremely pleasant and patient with us as it was our first time there and took a bit to decide. Drinks and food came pretty fast and was absolutely delicious. Portions were huge!!! We will definitely be back soon."

"I just took my 19 year old son, home on college break to get something to eat. Our food was good. Melissa our server was excellent. One of the other servers was obviously having a bad day, yelling and screaming that she was done for the day. Proceeded to go back to the office, screaming and yelling for all eating to hear plain as day. This server has acted similarly on a few other occasions I've been in to eat. I will think twice about going again with that kind of atmosphere. You know it's bad when your 19-year-old comments how embarrassing the actions were and that the owner or manager allowed it to go on for too long."

"I just finished another great meal at Gardenview Diner in Liverpool and felt inspired to leave a review. My favorite plates so far are the Tuna Melt Sandwich, Crispy Chicken Salad and the traditional Two Eggs with sides. (The defining difference here being that the Bacon is always crispy, the Toast is a thick cut of fresh Italian bread and the potatoes are Hash Browns. Sausage/English Muffins/Home Fries are available, among other options, if you prefer.) The servers, Sandy and Crystal, are friendly and attentive. My coffee cup never gets low and they check on me after the plate is presented to ensure I have all that I need. The cooks and busing staff are speedy and take pride in their work. All their efforts do not go unnoticed! I usually have enough left over to take home for the next day. The food is delicious, the prices are fair and the atmosphere is inviting and clean. I like supporting small businesses when dining out and Gardenview Diner is a long-standing, local treasure."

"Our family chose Gardenview Diner for a Saturday morning breakfast after Thanksgiving. The service was fast and friendly. Our breakfast choices (see pictures) were hot and made to order. We all agreed that our food was very good, and worth recommending. With so many choices for breakfast in the area, Gardenview is a good bet."
