Customer Reviews
The floor under our table was disgusting and sticky. Service was extremely slow and the waiter rarely checked on us. I waited forever for a side of mayo and eventually went to the payment counter to ask for it. The food is on the pricey side for the portion size but I will admit it tasted good. I'm not sure if they give checks but our waiter never provided one so we just walked up front and paid. I'm not sure if I'd ever return.
We love the Shoreline Diner! Almost everything is home made - including fresh squeezed juices, hand-pressed and dry aged burgers, etc. They have a full bar and a massive menu. You can order breakfast or lunch any time of day. And they really cater to people with food allergies. We already loved the diner before my husband was diagnosed with celiac disease, and now we love it even more!
"No other place serves organic eggs" seems to be the owners reasoning for the absolutely ridiculous pricing. Apparently we are too ignorant to know that organic eggs can be purchased from countless vendors for under 50 cents a piece, even less when bought in bulk, delivery included. Maybe $1 if you're not shopping around and have never seen the internet. You can use as many quality ingredients as you can find and even add a slightly gourmet presentation. The execution is neither quality enough nor gourmet enough to warrant the prices. The food is inconsistent, nothing exceptional flavor wise, and the "desserts"? The preparation needs a lot of work to achieve what they seem to be going for. It's hard to believe this place has been successful with this pricing and inconsistency . Lower the p
We thought this would be a diner as one imagines a diner to be, it is not. Three people, 2 pancakes with hash browns and a scrambled egg as well as 1 sandwich with fries came to $82.65 plus tip. There was nothing special about this place unless you're a Vegan. Typical booths and such. Overall, I wouldn't recommend going here. The diner down the street has better food and expected prices.
On advice from a Guilford local we stopped for a quick lunch before heading home at Shoreline Diner. It is very clean and comfortable. We were greeted and seated at a booth by a window. Our server was right there to offer drinks and give us the extensive menu. We each ordered the pita gyro with beef and lamb which was quite good. We decided to have a dessert and were a little disappointed in the dessert versus the description. I had a warm apple which was a round shortbread cookie with warm sliced apples and a little caramel sauce on it luckily I supplemented it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Janet had pecan pie with chocolate ice cream and it wasn’t really a slice of pie but more line a shortbread cookie with pecans and sauce. Although they were good we were disappointed in them.
