Yes

Can I get gift cards?

I don't know about gift cards.

No they do not serve alcohol. I am not sure if they let you bring in your own.

Is the corned beef hash still homemade here like it was when it was the Duchess Diner?

Yes. I have had the corned beef hash and it is delish.

Stopped in for breakfast. Slow service, mediocre food. Considering the size of the diner and how many servers there are, it is amazing how long you have to wait for a cup of coffee. I don't get all the five star reviews, I feel that the food is mediocre and that the breakfast prices are high for what you get, compared with other diners in the area. Limited free parking, small lot is inadequate for this size establishment.

Steak is so good! Im addicted! And don't forget a slice of carrot cake and/or cheese cake! The best!Update (8/5/17) they increased the price of the 3 eggs and a steak from $14, now $19... heartbreaking... will definitely go to edison family diner instead.

I agree with other review, place looks small from outside but much roomier on the inside.Getting our food took like 20 mins. considering its Saturday morning and was busy. Food is pretty decent and portion are big also.

This is the local go to place for my wife and I. The food is always delicious and the staff always friendly. An added bonus is they never mind cooking up our breakfast potatoes extra crispy and giving me a side cup of gravy for my french fries (guilty pleasure). Keep up the great work!

Went there earlier for a Western Omelet and had asked for the omelet to be fluffy.I didn't want it to be browned from the pan. - Well: it was brown! and well-done. Pretty bad if u cant make eggs.

Our server was very nice and the food was fine. It's on the small side for a diner and the parking is tight. I can't quie put my finger on it, but I didn't get the best vibe from this place. Maybe it just felt a old and could use a little freshening up.

Great food, enormous portions, can't beat the prices! Their "Senior Menu" is fabulous! There is no salad bar, but they still serve a generous side salad with meals (choice of soup or salad...the soup is also the best there is!). Look for their "10% OFF" coupon in the coupon saver mailings that come around periodically.

Very courteous staff, I enjoy the meals I get, usually just sides and coffee, which excellent as well. I have a service dog and they were able to seat us so she wasn't in the path of anyone; she also recommends the home fries, they disappeared very quickly. You can't miss, even if it's only for a quick coffee and sit down.

I love this restaurant because the food is delicious, always hot & fresh. My favorite time is breakfast, their bacon is so yummy & I get it extra crispy you just can not stop eating & the pancakes are so fluffy & mouth watering, just plain good! I will say that I find in a lot of places where the horses, person seating you need more training or more joy because I have been there many times & no smile, no asking how was your meal when you pay nothing & I think it's sad because we patrons are the one's who keep the business operating. We all have our days, but smiles look better especially when dealing with the public. But it does not stop us from going because the food & atmosphere & the waitresses are always very pleasant...

Been going here about once a week for either lunch of breakfast. Over the past 4 years the quality or the food and service as gone down hill quite a bit. Food has either come out cold/warm or just tasted bland. The cute blonde waitress has gone back to college only to be replaced by someone who obviously hates their job and dealing with people, but had no problem making a drug deal at a corner booth. Giving it 3 stars since the food is usually out quick and I've never really been disappointed by the chicken parm and cheesecake.

Great place! The food is delicious and plentiful! We showed up for breakfast with 10 people (2days in a row)and we were seated immediately, our orders came quickly and all together and our waitress and busser were very pleasant and helpful and did a wonderful job! I'd eat there on a regular basis if I lived anywhere near there. I really was very impressed.
