    I dined at the Mercury diner for my friend's birthday. We will first sat next to 2 dirty table, I asked to move which was accommodated. It took a while for our server to take her order like the table next to us, who got there after us, food was ordered and arrived before our food order was taken. I didn't end up liking the first thing I ordered and sat with it for 10/12 mins because our server never checked back on us, ended up having to flag her down. Luckily I ended up liking the second thing I ordered. When it was time to get our checks I let the server know I was paying cash, she told me to go up front to cash out and there was no one there stood there for 3 to 5 minutes as I watched her polish glassware and they proceeded to pay with my card. Both me and my friend had paid and signed our checks before she came over to try to take my cash payment. Overall subpar experience.

    Eclectic & tasty. Definitely worthy and we will be back. The cosmic theme is well done. The service is excellent. And the food is very good.

    The appearance of the diner was cute but the food and service was just okay. It’s not someplace I have to go back to. I was with a party of four and two folks had to send their food back because it was cold. And then it took forever for one person in the party to get their food. We had to repeat our orders multiple times to the waitress and she still brought out incorrect items. The mimosa flight was good. Overall I was disappointed because I had heard such good things.

    I had my bridal shower at Mercury Diner in their private room! Food was great, staff was efficient and friendly and I loved the vibes! Was perfect for an intimate brunch! I had 16 people! Will definitely encourage anyone do have their special event there (under 20 people) or just check it out to eat at! Thalia, the manager was so sweet, responsive, and just a pleasure to work with!
