Took Argie and the youngest Arglet to the Olde Bay Diner on Friday for b'fast. We've lived in Alton for over 8 years now and just got to try the Diner. We don't eat out much but breakfast is our favorite. Since I'd heard good things about the Diner via this forum, I suggested we give it a go.
The place is tiny and was filled with many local-yokles that morning. It wasn't slammed but there was only a couple of booths open and some seats at the counter available.
Argie and I got the special of the morning - a sausage/cheese omlet, homefries, and I got the rasin toast, while Argie got wheat toast. The portions were good (too good!) and all was tasty. I really liked the rasin toast. The coffee was very good and my cup never got empty - love that!
The Arglet got an order of pancakes but had a little trouble eating because of the texture of them - there was cornmeal in them, I think, which I liked but he did not (he's only 4 years old and has problems w/ certain textures.) We ordered cinnamon toast for him but The Arglet wasn't crazy about that either, but ate some of it. (Again, none of that was due to the food being bad or anything of the sort but more of what our child can or can't tolerate when it comes to textures of foods.)
On a side note, Argie and I sampled the cinnamon toast and thought it was probably the best we've ever had.
Summary: Good food. Great service. Well worth the stop in!
