Reviews
The building is an older block building the looks like it could use some work. But seems fine in most respects. The inside is fairly eclectic, with tables and chairs that basically are totally different from each other. There’s lots of things hanging around to look at while you wait. But it works. It’s basically a local hangout for some vittles.
The ladies who work there seemed friendly. Even though they were fairly busy when we arrived. We had a problem deciding on what to have since there were a lot of good options. It made it more difficult to decided watching the plates passing by to other tables. They all seemed to have large portions overfilling the plates, that looked really good.
The prices seemed reasonable and as I said, they seem to have good sized portions. But here’s my one nit pick. We saw plate after plate with heaping portions go to other tables. But when our order came out, it seemed like both of our meals had plenty of room left over. To us, they didn’t look like the other meals passing by. Unlike most everyone else, we didn’t have a need for a to go box. Maybe it was all our imagination. Ironically, we don’t eat all that much and seem to need them just about everywhere else. Maybe we seemed like folks who were just passing through, rather than folks looking for a new local place to frequent. Either way, it is what it is.
The food was both good and only okay, depending on what it was. I would try something different if and/or when we visited again. But there were also so many options that just looked so good. Maybe if we go back and look more local, things would be better. 🙂
All in all, the Northgate Diner is a typical local eatery that the locals go. It’s not flashy. It’s not a chain. It’s not the easiest place to find unless you know about it. But they are worth a try. I think that they are better than our experience seemed.
I can’t say enough great things about this diner — it’s the kind of place that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm, clean, and inviting, with that perfect cozy, homey vibe that’s getting harder to find these days.
The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish is made with love — you can taste it. Comfort classics, hearty portions, and everything cooked to perfection, all at prices that honestly feel too good to be true. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast, lunch, or just a quick bite, the value is unbeatable.
What made my experience truly unforgettable, though, was the service — especially from Chantel. She was an absolute standout: friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made me feel very comfortable & checking in just the right amount and making sure everything was perfect. Chantel has that rare ability to brighten your day just by being herself. She’s a true asset to the diner and a big reason why I’ll be coming back again and again.
If you’re looking for delicious food, unbeatable prices, and service that makes you feel at home — do yourself a favor and stop by. You won’t regret it!
