Avalon Diner

"Lemons are squeezed to order for this superb lemonade."
Michael Stern






"Of course you want French fries with your cheeseburger."
Michael Stern



"A close-up vision of lunch counter heaven: an Avalon Diner cheeseburger"
Michael Stern



"Chili at the Avalon is hearty stuff, Texan in that it lacks beans, but festooned with cheese, which chili purists disallow."
Michael Stern



"Here is a waffle the way we like it: thin, crisp, elegant, glistening with the tastebuds-thrilling mix of savory melted butter and sweet syrup."
Michael Stern



"The fragile, lightly coated onion rings were one of the highlights of our meal at Avalon Diner."
Cliff Strutz



"A great shake, served in its silver beaker, which holds enough for nearly three glasses full."
Michael Stern



"Between breakfast and lunch, there are actually available seats at the counter and in booths. At mealtime, that's not usually the case."
Michael Stern



"There's nothing particularly alluring about the outside of the Avalon Diner (which originally opened around the corner), but the moment you step inside, the ambience is irresistible."
