What would you order at a diner?

Question

Finchie40 · Accepted Answer

Depends on what diner and what is on the menu ,
I use to go to diners all the time when I lived in New Jersey , Jersey is like Diner central lol. I mainly went to diners for breakfast and one of my favorite things to get was Scrapple and Eggs , unfortunately where I live now , they don’t have scrapple on the menu and most people out here don’t even know what Scrapple is , even though you can buy scrapple here , it isn’t the same quality that Philly and Jersey has. Everytime I go back to visit friends and family in Jersey I stock up on Scrapple and other things as well that I can’t get here.

Probably a burger and fries. But, depending on the menu, maybe a Reuben sandwich without sauerkraut, a pastrami sandwich, or a battered cod sandwich.
I might also have a chocolate malt at a diner like the one in the photo.

Depends on the diner. There's one place I'd go to for onion rings or steak fries... not everyone makes them the same way... There's one place I'd go for potato skins... and another for burgers or omelets. (I rarely veer towards sweets at diners, but on occasion there's one that makes a decent flapjack or waffle.)

FreyaRed · Accepted Answer

Battered cod or haddock french fries, coleslaw, remoulade sauce

RavVid · Answer

I can more easily say what I wouldn't and that is toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches with mustard.

The waiter came back saying the "chef" refused to put mustard on but brought a variety of jars of mustard that I could apply myself after prying the sandwiches apart.

That was going to work.

goaded · Answer

I ordered pastrami on rye, first time I went to NYC, because I'd heard of it and it sounded cool. It was insane! I had to eat through, like, a pound of meat before I could even see the bread.

I would probably do it again.

Then have a heart attack.

MrOracle · Answer

A French Dip, or maybe a dinner with either turkey or roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, and veggies. Or, I might be in the mood for breakfast, which I rarely get, so French toast, scrambled eggs, and bacon, and maybe hash browns.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I like to order medium rare steak because my dad never cooks medium rare, he only cooks well done. Mandarin buffet also does not cook medium rare, because they do not want you to sue them if you get sick from eating undercooked meat.
