Miner’s Diner

DON’T waste your time. Came here on a Sunday & I understand it is busy, no problem. The wait wasn’t so bad. I ordered a Philly cheese steak sandwich and it was both greasy and bland. My husband had a southwest burger and his was also greasy and the patty was very tiny. The fries are battered and were very choppy and unfulfilling. My son had chicken nuggets and after one bite he refused the eat anymore because They were so hard. All in all this place should be ashamed of themselves, the food quality is very poor.
Oh and 1 more thing. There is only 1 bathroom and it was DISGUSTING. Paper towels overflowing, no hand soap!, no toilet seat covers, and urine on the floor. I’ve seen better bathrooms at a public park.
The only cool thing about this place is the décor/​olden day ambiance.

Stopped in mid-​week (Thurs), and had great service at lunch time. We had the veggie grilled sandwich (think grilled cheese with sauteed veggies) and fries. YOU GOTTA HAVE THE FRIES! They do a special coating on shoestring fries — SO crispy and good! The sandwich was excellent. Nice service on refills too (I drink a lot — it was a hot day!).
They were nice enough to do grilled cheese sandwich for my friend (even tho it was only on the kid’s menu) Just ask! She regretted not getting the fries (yes, I shared), but said her coleslaw was good (just not as tasty as those fantistik fries!). I’ll be back!

This place was alright. I was surprised at how long the line was since we had to wait a solid 20 minutes or so to eat a brunch. They had a ton of stuff on the walls, some of it just seems like old stuff they didn’t know where to put and others have price tags on them. This is done in the booths where kids yell about the toy (totally happened to us, ugh).
I tried the buffalo burger and it was actually really good. The fries weren’t too bad. My favorite part was the phosphate soda actually. I just got a regular coke and it was insanely good!
The service though, was lacking hardcore. It was just really painfully slow. The bathroom situation is also not cool, at all. The line to use it isn’t enjoyable, especially when someone decided to «blow it up» in there.
Overall, there are unfortunately not many breakfast spots on that main strip but this place will be hit or miss and like most places in Julian, have a line out the door.
