"Real corned beef hash will win our hearts every time."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"The Highland Park makes its own corned beef hash. Now we actually enjoy the stuff that comes out of a can, but the real thing is a real treat."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"The omelets, like this Western omelet plus cheese, are expertly made."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"Fresh-squeezed OJ in a diner!"
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"The pancakes are very thick, and they have a springy, sort-of-yeasted texture (though we doubt that's how they're made). A short stack should suffice for most."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"This may be Rochester, but not only do they serve grits, they serve good, coarse-ground grits."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"The Highland Park Diner is a 1940's gem. Note the teardrop speaker in the corner; we don't know if that's original or a reproduction."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"The Highland Park seems to be an especially long diner."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"The permanent counter seats are choice for full diner immersion."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"The clock doesn't appear to be working, but it's a beauty nonetheless."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"When the art-deco-styled Highland Park Diner was brand new, it was placed in this spot (although it had a different name originally). It's been here for about six decades."
