Brooklawn Diner

Most people who live in the area have surely either heard of, or been to, the Brooklawn Diner. If you`re one of the few who hasn`t had the pleasure of dining there, it`s time you made the trip. The diner is known for providing delicious, home-cooked food in a friendly atmosphere - and I can see how it has earned its impressive reputation.

On a recent visit, my mother and I sat in the diner`s sun room. The spacious area was filled with live greenery, and each table was neatly decorated with pink linens and fresh floral arrangements.

The extensive menu boasts a large selection of appetizers, salads, breakfast items, hot and cold sandwiches, and burgers. In addition, there`s a wide variety of veal, seafood, steak, pasta and chicken dinner specialties.

Daily fresh roasts and a petite menu (with such selections as London Broil, Broiled Scallops, Fried Filet of Fish and Roast Fresh Ham) are also offered.

My mother decided to try Super Lunch Special #1 ($4.65) - a tomato and cheese omelette served with either home fries or french fries, soup or salad bar and coffee.

She was very pleased with her choices: home fries and French onion soup. She also said that her omelette was very tasty.

I opted for Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana ($4.75), which was served on a roll with french fries, soup or salad and coffee or tea.

My sandwich, which consisted of three chicken breasts smothered with tomato sauce and topped with cheese, was both enormous and delicious. I was also very pleased with the fresh selections at the salad bar.

To accompany your meal, Brooklawn Diner also serves soft drinks, juice, coffee, tea, lattes, espresso, cappuccino and cocktails.
