Old Ways Diner PERMANENTLY CLOSED

My Wife, her Brother, and I stopped for a late lunch about 2:30 pm. We have been saying what P.C. needs is an American Style diner, with American style food that wasn't a Chain. When we noticed the place we thought this was it. We were wrong, I am not sure what the style is, but is not American Home Cooked Style, I think maybe Mediterranean? My wife couldn't find anything on the menu she thought she would like, so she ordered just French Fries. Bob and I both ordered the Monte Cristo, nether one of us thought it was very good. It was three pieces of what looked like French bread, with ham, I think chicken, and Swiss cheese, the sandwich was not deep-fried as a real Monte Cristo is suppose to be. My wife's F.F. were factory made, not as good as we could get a one of the Burger Joints. This we our only visit to this place. If any Restaurant Operators out there read this we still think P.C. could use a good Ole American Style Family Restaurant, I'm thinking of the Diners we have found all over America, except here. If you ever get to Toledo Ohio, Glendale and S. Detroit stop in the Glendale Gardens Cafe, or check out their menu on line, wonderful place to eat.

A nice, wide variety of food on the menu. Generous portions of food for dinner - we had wraps, burgers and the veggie lasagna. The waiter was very friendly and checked on us frequently. The meals came out pretty quickly. The owner visited every table to talk and see how everyone liked their food. We'd definitely go back and would also try it for breakfast too.

Very clean and pleasant atmosphere. Customer service was on point. My husband ordered the meatloaf dinner and I had the American Burger. Our food tasted delicious and we will return again.

My husband and I had breakfast at Old Ways today. We were greeted immediately and encouraged to sit wherever we wanted. The restaurant has been open for only two weeks, so we weren't sure if we'd experience the new restaurant hiccups that often occur. Happily, our dining experience was wonderful. It's clean and bright inside with nice music at a level soft enough to have a conversation (one of my pet peeves is music that's too loud).

The menu has a lot of good options for any taste (breakfast, burgers, salads, vegetarian, kabobs, seafood). I was especially thrilled to find corned beef hash. Normally I can only find canned hash in a restaurant, but this was real, with plentiful corned beef, home fries and onions. It was delicious! The dish came with a generous portion of hash, two eggs and choice of bread. My husband had scrambled eggs, a pancake and bacon, which he also enjoyed. The waitress was pleasant and attentive without hovering. Our meal came quickly - no long wait. The owner stopped by to chat and make sure we were happy. Good prices, good food, good service - give this one a try. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so we'll be trying them for other meals soon.

I bought a blue burger. They would not cook it medium, stating that Florida did not allow them to cook any meat under well done. Burger description said handmade. I ordered the large burger. When food came out my oversized burger bun looked amazing however my burger consisted of 2 small burgers stacked on top of each other. Burger tasted more like salty sausage rather than beef (probably why they had to cook it well done). Couldn't enjoy the bun because it was saturated in grease. My wife ordered the chicken cordon blue burger. The chicken patty looked and tasted like ground chicken mixed with sausage, and then pressed.
Waitress was very nice.
