Hi-Grade Steak House & Bar-B-Q

Best French toast ever… But definitely not a BBQ steak house lol… Just a nice simple diner… Coney island type place

I went here yesterday, with a friend, for breakfast. Our first and last time. We placed our order with the waitress. I like how the waitress screamed our order at the cook, just like on Hell’s kitchen. She got everything right, but I think the cook wasn’t listening. The food was dropped off quickly, but the waitress didn’t check our order before she brought it to the table. She didn’t refill our water glass or check if everything was ok. Ordered the eggs medium well, the toast with extra butter and American fries. The eggs were sunny side up and runny, the toast was dry and the American fries were tasteless. I paid and was given my change, but the cashier didn’t ask me how everything was, so I told her on my way out that the cook doesn’t pay attention to the orders, and we won’t be back. She told me «sorry». Yes, sorry describes this restaurant!

Simple food. good stuff. Plus you have a few beer choices!

Don’t let the name fool you, there is nothing barbecue or steakhouse related about this place. If you are looking for some smoked meats or some soul food try something else, Hi-Grade’s Steakhouse is your quintessential diner.
The breakfast is cheap (unless you are me and manage a $ 9 egg beater omelet with chicken) the special is $ 2.99 with coffee.
The pricing of the breakfast special is a mainstay like the regulars who camp out on the swivel chairs at the bar and eat them.
There are no surprises when you get to this place. I go here once a year, before a large event, I always go on the same morning at the same time and see the same people and get waited on by the same waitress. The prices are the same, the menu is the same, the television station is the same, and I am fairly sure the cash register never works.
There is beer in the fridge, and specials written in magic marker on a dry-​erase board. Free auto trader magazines are available between sets of doors as is stale gum out of candy machines. What else do you expect from a diner in Deaborn Heights.
I think the gum says Ford on it. Retro.
