What a fun restaurant! It's a legit old diner that was moved here 30 years ago. The food is classic diner fare and the service was excellent. I look forward to going back.

This is a gem of a place. The people are what really make it but it’s also one of the best restored old diners I have been to.The malts are perfection though I wish they would bring the metal blending cup with the extras out too, the first sip will take that off your mind.The blue cheese burger is a perfect balance of flavors. They cut the onions thin so they aren’t overpowering.For sides the stand out was the hand-dipped onion rings, they were perfectly coated in a traditional thin layer of batter and were perfectly cooked sweet onion on the inside.The sweet potato fries were a unique addition to the menu. Tossed in a cinnamon sugar and accompanied by caramel dipping sauce they were unlike anything I’ve had at a diner before. I liked them sans the caramel which made them too sweet for me. My mom who is a sweet potato lover found them to be far too sweet and left me to it. I had no trouble helping her out.

The dinner is absolutely adorable itself. The food was out at a reasonable time, and it was delicious. My boyfriend’s burger’s eggs were perfect as well as the burger, and my chicken was moist and delicious. Our waiter was courteous and friendly with great communication skills. Also the Caramel Apple shake is the best shake i’ve ever had. The pumpkin one was good too.

My husband and I came in for lunch with our almost 2 year old daughter and we had such a great experience! The food was amazing! Our server was super kind and friendly and made sure to check in with us regularly! We came in and about 5ish minutes later our server had table after table come in and he handled it very well giving all his tables equal attention he was definitely on top of it! We hardly had to wait for our food and it was delicious! The diner is super cute with a lot a character and very cozy! We had a wonderful experience and I am looking forward to coming back soon!

This small diner takes you right back into the 1960s! Large, affordable portions. The food was good overall for the price point. I had a chocolate shake, and that was fantastic! Ab appetizer, four full entrees, side upgrades, and drinks totaled about 90 after tip. I'll gladly be back!

The Comet diner was such a fun stop to get lunch at! From the atmosphere and the friendly staff I cant recommend this place enough. The 50's style diner with the pink and blue accents was so cute and you could tell there was care taken to clean, all of the stainless steel was shiny and cleaned. The food was really good with great prices for the amount of food we got. The potato soup and bbq tots hit the spot!
