What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Big City Diner offers a comforting and flavorful dining experience with its Hawaiian-inspired American classics. Diners rave about unique dishes like Grandma's Fried Rice & Kimchee and the Kalbi Steak, as well as the casual, local vibe. However, some patrons have encountered issues with slow or rude service, and occasional food quality inconsistencies.
"Our favorite spot for breakfast this trip. The items we ordered were great. Loco moco, eggs with beef hash and hash browns, steak and eggs and macadamia nut pancakes with coconut. Service was nice and food tasty. We liked the small town feel of it."

"In a strip mall next to Foodland, this is a family friendly diner with a welcoming vibe and nice staff.
Paniolo Chicken Salad and Loco Moco were favorites among the dishes we ordered. Next time we want to eat the Kim Chee burger.
Portions were a decent size, kids meals were awesome too. We plan to be back soon."

"Had the bacon ham and cheese omelet ( I prefer cheese on top of the omelette as well as in) bacon could have been cut up better so half pieces weren't coming out during each bite.
Best part was seeing pictures of Denver Broncos players around the bar as I am from Denver and a big fan.
Go Broncos.
Will definitely go back."
