Great food, Great Staff, Very Clean with Nice Environment. Surprisingly im impress with Rich's Diner. I would recommend any one to give it try and see for them selves. Very very good. The specials are outstanding. Breakfast wow. Also a bar and it does not conflict the dinning area. Italian dinner, Steak diner. Ribs diner and more. Love it. Cant wait to get hungry cause I know where I would go to. Also what a clean feel like home restroom. I have to say Rich's Diner has the potential for greatness. I would give it all the stars for excellence. If I want something not in the menu the would go out of the way to make it for me just ask. Ohh and what reasonable prices at Rich's Diner. You do not have to take myword for it, just try them, judge for your self.
