We just got back from Dianna's deli a little over an hour ago. I had to leave a review because of how amazing the staff was, I don't leave reviews often. So seeing the reviews now of how the service went for different people makes me think there's either a language barrier or that service must vary greatly. Me my partner and sister decided to try something local but close, and came in after a long day with the kids while staying at great Wolf lodge. We have four boys total, 11, 10, 8, and just turned 2. All 3 of the older boys are twice exceptional kids, neurodivergent, overtired, underfed from the long long day of activities. Running on pure adrenaline. Basically feral. The adults obviously exhausted and patience drained, sore, trying our best to keep the kids in line but not make a scene. Our service was wonderful. The first thing I noticed was that despite looking a bit dated from the outside and in, the high chair was exceptionally clean. I dread doing sit downs with the toddler usually because of sticky chairs and straps but these straps felt almost like they had actually been in a washing machine they were so clean. Our server was so polite and helpful, she was super kind to us and our children. My toddler who doesn't like strangers, doesn't even like his grandma screamed for her when she walked back to the kitchen. There was a bit of an issue with a pickle touching bread on my nephews cheeseburger, and so he won't eat the burger. I explained to the server that he didn't want the cheeseburger and asked for a grilled cheese. It came out with a pickle touching the sandwich and we just cut that part off but he ate it. Thank god bc he is soooo picky I was just happy he'd actually *try* a restaurant grilled cheese. Anyways, we tried our best to keep our kids in line, maybe they weren't as bad as we feel like they were but nobody batted an eye. Food was not bad. We didn't really have high expectations but considering all the kids AND neurodivergent adults ate their meals,I'm pretty impressed. I'd say this place is great if you have a bunch of picky people and need simple local food with LOTS of options. As I said, our server was exceptional. I didn't catch her name but she kept our drinks full, checked on us often, and never once made us feel like we were inconveniencing her or that she even noticed our kids were acting like they were anything other than small people being normal. This is not a fancy restaurant. They have a lot of options, good but simple food, low prices, and at least in our experience, amazing service. English was not our servers first language, and she went to get another person when she didn't understand why We'd leave that much of a tip.
