The City Diner

It's cheap food but very greasy. The service is quick and kind. The seats are old and cracking but the small diner vibe was perfect.

Visited for breakfast on a Friday morning; sometimes, you're hungry for just some basic diner food. Upon entering, a server on the other side of the room told us to find any open table that's clean. When we got seated, our server was there right away ready to take our drink orders. I ordered the breakfast tacos, and my friend ordered the biscuits and gravy. The food was delivered quickly, and portions are fair for the price. The biscuits and gravy were bland and there wasn't much sausage in the gravy. The breakfast tacos were fine.If you're looking for a creative brunch menu, or the best biscuits and gravy, this is not the place for you. I think some effort could be put into a few menu items to make them better, but when compared to local no-frills diners, I think City Diner provides a satisfactory experience.

I stopped here for breakfast to start my day because it was close to my hotel. It's a generic diner in a great location with some parking. The menu is normal except for the the Bob special. The decor is kitch with generic tables and chairs. The place is nothing fancy but it works. My service was off because I was forgotten about. Service was lacking but the food was great so no stars were harmed on this visit. Ok listen up people, the Bob special is very unique because it's a big biscuit topped with country fried steak, hash browns, scrambled eggs smothered in country gravy.OMG the Bob special looked amazing piping hot to my table. This was absolutely delicious by the way. The hash browns were golden crisp, the country fried steak was golden crispy and three times thicker than the crap in my city. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and the abundance of thick creamy country gravy like a volcano erupted on this mountain of food was so good.Overall this was a great choice for a breakfast spot and on my trips, I spend hours researching the area for the best possible restaurants and this one hit it out of the park, great job.

I discovered this small diner in KC, slightly removed from downtown. Nothing fancy, yet a pleasant community diner where the servers warmly greet you the second you walk through the door. Service was great, as was the food. The menu has many choices. What stood out to me was the atmosphere. Table talk was peacefully spoken. An elderly man walks in with his cane and is directed to his favorite table, as the waitress asks, "The usual?" Background music softly playing "Let It Be" - Beatles. Peaceful and pleasant experience... Step back in time with this little gem!

Basic old-school diner with an emphasis on breakfast. Yesterday was only my 3rd or so visit, which is odd since I used to live in the neighborhood. I was craving Biscuits and Gravy and ended up stopping here. The biscuits were very standard and cold and topped and although the gravy was hot and creamy, it lacked any substantial amount of meat crumbles. My side plate of hash browns were crispy. Service was efficient and pleasant but not very engaging. I love that these type of places exist and they serve a purpose, basic greasy food with a quick turn-around.

The first time here. I was looking for a diner in the downtown area to meet a friend for breakfast. Of course, I turned to Yelp! City Diner appears to have been here a bit. I'm not sure how long, but it seems like a long time. The place is clean and cool tables in the back room. Loved the stool diner top but didn't have 2 chairs together when we walked in. Very quick service and a lengthy menu when we got there mid day, so all options were open, but we stuck with the breakfast menu. Pro tip: if you sit next to the windows. You need to be prepared to see a bumper or two wizz past you. Wow kinda thought a car was coming thru the glass a time or two, but you get used to it. LOLMy buddy got the classic it had 2 or 3 eggs, English muffin hash browns, and bacon. All looked good. The bacon was surprising it was think and crispy, not greasy floppy like most restaurant bacon.I opted for the suggested country fried steak meal. Also, came with 2 eggs, hash browns, and English muffin. They had cholula available: score!!! Steak was thick and tasty, not too much breading. Hash browns were perfect little crunchy, not soggy nor burnt. Good coffee, good food food service and food conversation equals a great day. Thanks, City Diner. we will be back.

Great food, service and location as well as ambiance!! Like home but better! Definitely try the biscuits and gravy!! The bacon was thick and well cooked! I loved the no-nonsense approach of this place truly giving it mid-American vibes!!

Didn't know what to ordered but I saw the biscuit and gravy and that looked amazing! Probably gonna try that next time. Everything taste good and yummy though! Servers were nice !

Traditional full menu breakfast. Eggs any way, breakfast meats, potatoes, grits, pancakes, etc. My go to for breakfast in KC. Reliably good.

Service was fantastic! My server was joyful and spoke to everyone like they were a friend. The food was excellent! I had a bacon omelette. Great corner diner with old feel aesthetics. Definitely stop in and get some breakfast!
