I was there for the first time during Classic Cruise Night. The food was delicious. The rice pudding was excellent. Great service. It was cool to see all the classic cars and motorcycles. I definitely recommend the Empress Diner!

My first time, I wasn't too sure on what to order. I order the Hamburger Deluxe, it was excellent. my cousin order a chicken salad, she said it was very satisfying. Overall an excellent place to just eat, or have a soda, listen to music. etc.
