5. Thomas's Ham & Eggery

Although considered a breakfast diner the Yankee Pot Roast was terrific. Great gravy and excellent potato pancakes and red cabbage.

As far as diners go, this one can't be beat. It's friendly, and the food is original and familiar at the same time. Your diner favorites are there, but little touches brighten them up to make them sparkle anew in your memory. The skillet eggs are great, but so is the stuffed French Toast. Oh, the choices! Oh, the humanity!
