Donna Jean's diner sold?

[Overlake97]

Drove by this morning, and there were 8 or 9 cars in the parking lot and a big Welcome Flag flapping at the corner of the building. Unless it was a "soft" opening, for family and friends only, I'm going to assume they're now open for business.

Wife and I stopped into the Weirs Diner for breakfast yesterday and it was standard breakfast fare which was good...the waitress was pleasant and we chatted her up about the new place.
The new owners are restaurant owners already and run a place over by Lowe's and Hannafords...the name of it escapes me now.
The waitress is a 14 year veteran of Donna Jean's diner so is quite at home there but says she is "adapting" to the new owner's ways...it doesn't seem like much was done on the interior and she said the dumpsters were there for cleaning the basement of YEARS of accumulation of "stuff" from the former owners even before it was DJ's.
It was pleasant sitting with a view of the channel and will be even more fun when the channel becomes busier (no channel traffic that day).
She also said there might even be some kind of outdoor food/drink activity for the good weather...

Went there Sunday around 10ish for breakfast.... was kind of busy but no line. We were told to seat ourselves... Sat in the back corner on the channel side.

Then waited.... and waited.... and NOBODY has been down to say hi, wipe the table and get coffee. 10 minutes goes by and FINALLY an older waitress with dark hair finally comes down and asked if we have been helped. Told her no... she made a face and walked away.... proceeded to chat with another customer up at the breakfast counter and cleaned off another table!! I thought maybe it wasn't her section but she told the waitress whose section it was... well, the people behind us got there checked dropped off and still no service for us...

We left, went to the Union and had an AWESOME breakfast!

Definitely not off to a good start!

Holy cow! That is exactly what happened to us on Sunday. Told to seat ourselves and we're completely ignored for 20 minutes. We got up and went to the Union Diner (our first time there) and loved it! We ate at the Union on Monday morning, too (meatloaf omelette - mmmmm).
Too bad for the new owners of DJs; we've found our new fav diner that we never would have tried. Did I say Meatloaf Omelette?

Mmmmmm

They won't last long with that kind of service.
