This was my first visit to this restaurant, and while the customer service did not disappoint, the waitress was very friendly. The food, however, was extremely disappointing.
When I order a crab cake, I expect it to actually contain crab. Instead, I was served two jumbo crab cakes that were almost entirely bread with little to no crab at all. Honestly, they might as well have given me four slices of bread, because that is all it tasted like.
If the restaurant could not make proper crab cakes, they should have either made them smaller, charged more, or been upfront about what was being served. Charging $30 for bread filled crab cakes is unacceptable.
To make matters worse, the broccoli had an unpleasant smell and was not enjoyable.
I called to speak with a manager, who told me this is simply how they make their crab cakes and that if I wanted a real crab cake, it would cost $60. Price is not the issue. I am not willing to pay $30 for something that is misleading and poorly prepared. The manager said there was nothing he could do to resolve the issue.
Because the restaurant refused to offer a refund or any resolution, I am now disputing the charge with my bank.

The Dove Diner is one of our go-to breakfast spots. It has that classic diner atmosphere—comfortable, welcoming, and just easy to enjoy as a family. The menu has a lot of options, and the impressive part is they do all of it well.
You can tell it’s family-owned in the best way: the service feels personal, friendly, and consistent. Our kids love it here—especially Uncle Jimmy, who always makes them feel special. Highly recommend.

Myself and a friend went their for dinner on 12/15. Normally the food is bearable, but this time it was un-edible.
First issue: My friend ordered the pepper steak, but was given the beef stew. We were told that the cook can’t read English well, and that’s what he made instead. There was no effort to remake what he actually ordered, and he was forced to eat the beef stew, which was flavorless. The only effort that was made to rectify the issue, was a offer of a free dessert. We than overheard the waitress tell the manager, “You can tell when you can get over on a customer by the first interaction”
Second issue: I ordered the Gyro, which is supposed to come with tzatziki sauce, when it arrived, it was no where to be found. Minutes later it was brought out in a side dish. If I wanted the sauce on the side, I would’ve asked for it.
All in all it was a horrible experience. This place use to be okay! But has gone down hill.

I haven’t been here since my early 20’s because I didn’t like the food. Now it looks different inside. I didn’t see any cakes and pies they use to have. But the breakfast was good. Everything was prepared perfectly. Everyone knows that if you mess up my food. I don’t have anything nice to say!! But each of the two time my husband and I have come it was yummy. They even have mimosas, a nice size glass too!! Our waitress Kaitlyn did forget our silverware, my side of meat , and our mimosas. But maybe she’s new. The owner is a nice man. He came over to see if we are ok . I recommend this restaurant for breakfast at least because we didn’t have dinner yet. It’s huge inside and very laid back.

We stopped in for lunch. We were welcomed and seated promptly. The diner is large and accessible. Our waitress was attentive and our food arrived fast and hot. Super fresh.

I went around 4 PM and on a Thursday. The waitress was awesome and provided excellent service. Home fries could have been cooked at a higher temperature or browned or crispy. Seems like the cook just cut up a baked potato and threw it on the grill for a minute or two. Sunny side up eggs were perfect as was the bacon and sausage. French toast with powdered sugar was absolutely amazing. Due to the time and day of the week there was only about 4 other tables with people. Lots of parking and space. There is a long ramp down to the entrance which is nice for wheelchairs to be able to enter. All and all I’d go there again and try something different just to see.

Mrs. K. hadn’t really encountered a classic Northeast-style diner before, so this outing was a bit of a cultural introduction. She was visibly impressed—maybe even overwhelmed—by the sprawling menu, which read like a novella of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Despite the dizzying array of choices, she played it safe and went with a plain waffle. It arrived golden and crisp, though she spent more time marveling at the laminated menu than the food itself.
I went for the Country Omelet, which the menu claimed was made with two eggs, but I’d wager they snuck in a third. It was generously stuffed with onions, tomato, ham, sausage, and bacon—essentially a breakfast sampler folded into one fluffy parcel. The toast came on the side, along with a mountain of home fries that could’ve fed a small scout troop. It was hearty, satisfying, and just chaotic enough to feel authentic.
The diner wasn’t particularly busy, so the lapses in service were a bit puzzling. Coffee refills were slow, and the toast arrived cold as evidenced by the unmelted butter still spread on top. Still, we weren’t in a rush, and the main dishes hit the spot. It wasn’t perfect, but it was warm, filling, and gave Mrs. K. a taste of the regional diner experience. Quirks and all.

Excellent menu and retro vibes inside. Classic diner to the T. Great food, came out super hot. Seriously, what’s not to like? It’s Dove Diner time!

Best breakfast we have had from a food establishment in a very long time.
Don’t hesitate in trying their food. You won’t regret it!
I had the French toast, eggs over medium and bacon.
The french toast was fluffy and just delicious point blank. They have whipped butter which really added to the flavor of the French toast too. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the bacon was exactly what you should expect. Crispy and flavorful. I tried a bit of my husband’s home fries and they were very good.
My husband had the hungry man’s meal and he devoured every bit that he could. He also said it’s everything he could have hoped for in a breakfast.
My mother had the cream chip beef, home fries and poached eggs.
I didn’t get a picture of her meal but I wish I had. I don’t even like cream chip beef but it look delicious.
She really enjoyed it. She ate down the entire thing.
My son had the wings which also came with a salad. They too looked and smelled absolutely scrumptious. I didn’t get a picture of his wings because he started right in on them. And he said they were so good.
Everything we all had was just absolutely satisfying and filling. They’re a little pricey but so so so worth it. Who ever their cook is needs a raise immediately. Excellent food. We got delivery and it was still fresh and hot on arrival. So kudos the the establishment and our dasher.

Had a great diner breakfast this morning and our waitress Yolanda was so caring and attentive with my young stepson, making him feel extra comfortable and happy which was a large feat. When he got upset she brought him some crayons and coloring pages. She was great, earned every penny of her wages and tip and made the experience extrs pleasant.
