Had a very extended meal at this iconic diner yesterday with two friends from school days back in the 50's and 60's. Great wait staff, there was no rush to get our order, and when we did it was quick to get to us, good juicy patty melt, loaded club sandwich and always the stacked Ruben, fries fresh from the fryer! We were there for a long time and never felt pressure to wrap up and leave. We enjoyed having the opportunity to feel at home while we discussed the last 50 years since we had seen each other together. Thank you so... read more

My family decided to eat there. A several minutes later two other family came in. We waited almost 30 min with water and then a waiter came and took orders from the two table that came in after us. I'm not sure if the waiter here picks and choice who they serve or what. Unfortunately, now we are late for others plan that we made to do downtown to go find elsewhere to eat today, No food is worth this.

Would like say that Ed Walker's went above and beyond today. A mistake was made on my takeout lunch order and not only did they replace it but they brought it to me when they found out that I could not come back do my lunch being almost over. Kudos!

Business response:

Hey Phillip...sorry to hear you had less than stellar service. Can you tell me what she looked like or her name? What time were you there? This will help on narrowing down this issue.

So sad to see a local staple dive going to the pot so badly. Unfriendly and down right rude staff short of one amazing server. Food with horribly varying qualities from absolutely worth the $10 to tasting like month old stove top. I only eat local and it saddens me to mark Ed Walkers off my gastronomic menu.

We have always loved this spot but we were beyond disappointed. My almost $11 dinner tasted like it had been fried then dipped in extremely old rotten grease, so they swapped it out, tho they still charged me $2.50 for a bowl of ice berg lettuce with a sprinkle of cheap cheese. Our friend orderes soup to go and we waited 15 mins at the table, then as we left after waiting another 10 mins at the counter she got handed a med. soda cup, only slightly half full and it was completely clotted (chicken n dumplings) and she when she... read more
