Sunday Morning Madness

by alisonkramer at Citysearch

Teeming with locals on the weekends, and tourists during the summer, morning yawner flock to this greasy spoon favorite for a reason. Green eggs and ham and fried egg sandwiches are THE best - the coffee is local and rich while the biscuits are deliciously fresh and home made. IF you can muster the mornings, get up before the crowds to avoid the madness and assure quality control.

Neighborhood diner

This place has a neighborhood greasy-spoon feel BUT the food wasn't greasy... it was tasty comfort-food.

• Pros: Casual

Faded Glory

by sjpatrick at Citysearch

Back when Judith Weinstock and friends ran the Streamliner and wrote the famous cookbook, it was really one of the best restaurants in the state; tiny, funky, filled with wonderful smells and good vibes. Now, the food, service, everything is just God-Awful. Gone are the fabulous baked goods, replaced by doughy biscuits and leaden pies. Their old potato salad was creamy, savory and rich. The new stuff features undercooked potatoes, a thimbleful of dill, and a few half-hearted chunks of celery. Even the famous meatloaf is now dry and tired. And the service is maybe the worst I have EVER found; indifferent to the point of outright hostility. This place is not even a good greasy spoon anymore. Take the cookbook and make your own. That's all that's left of the Streamliner.

• Pros: none
• Cons: too many to list
