Friday was my day off, and we planned to go shopping in North Utica. This made it a handy stop to eat at Dave’s Diner, 2251 Route 5, Downtown Schuyler.
Downtown Schuyler is how it is described both on the side of the building and on the address on their take out menu, and it is located at a four corners which Steven told me is a famous four corners. I was reminded that when we lived in Schuyler, our mailing address was actually Franklin. That may give you an idea of how bustling downtown Schuyler is. Never mind, Dave’s Diner is a great place to eat.
We got there after 11, I thought great, after breakfast, before lunch, they won’t be too busy. They were busy, but we easily found a table and had not long to wait before the waitress brought us menus. I’ve enjoyed their Chicken Fingers or their Swiss Garlic Mushroom Burger in the past, but Friday we both went for Chicken Salad on rye with lettuce and tomato and cole slaw on the side. Yummy! The sandwich was fat, and the cole slaw just the right amount of tangy.
Dave’s is open for breakfast and lunch, although they do host a cruise in on Tuesday nights, which I have never attended but one day intend to. I know they close at noon on Saturdays, because one Saturday I went there and realized they were cleaning up the place as I was still eating my chicken fingers. I hate last minute customers myself, so hate to be one. I apologized profusely. The waitresses were very gracious about it: “Take your time, we have to be here anyways.”
So there you have it: good food, great service, check out Dave’s Diner. You can even call ahead for take out: 315-735-4332.
