My sister and I wanted to check this place out and we liked it a lot! I’ve never had an omelet with chili on it before. It was surprisingly great! The prices are also awesome.

Dapper’s East is a great diner! The matzo ball soup was fantastic—just like homemade. My wife loved the spaghetti, and the kids had breakfast for lunch and really enjoyed it. Solid spot for a family meal. We’ll definitely be back!

This was my first time ever dining here. I was in the area to pick up an order from GameStop. As I was walking and looking around I stumbled into this gem of a place. The hostess, Linda, was very sweet and kind. She also waited for me to finish my appetizer before bringing out my entree. Which gave me time to enjoy what I was getting. Unlimited refills of coffee and water as well. I had the navy bean soup, which Linda recommend, and a Cajun burger with a side salad. Please visit this cozy and homely place when you get a chance. Nice place to dine solo or with family. Very nice staff and food was delicious. Nice portions too.

I was invited to meet here once for a work-related meeting and stopped here again today after wondering where to go for an afternoon breakfast. I understand its popularity. Fast friendly service, good food, nice, clean atmosphere and old school charm. My date asked; "You've only eaten here twice?" Guess I'll have to change that.

What a lovely classic diner! Everyone who works there has always been so kind and attentive whenever I've stopped in. I always get the low calorie plate and I love it - grilled chicken, cottage cheese, a hard boiled egg and fruit & veggies galore. You also get bread and a bowl of soup (I choose the cabbage soup) to start. So good and SO filling!! All at a terrific price. My only "complaint," if you want to call it that is I wish they were open later so I could stop by more often! :)

Delicious Italian sausage skillet and awesome Dutch boy pancake. My wife makes these all the time and I was pleasantly surprised with how well it was executed!

I went to eat with my mom and aunt the only thing is that we came close to closing time and my water wasn't refilled whilst I was eating. Other times I have gone they are very attentive and our waitress was busy cleaning things so it was understandable
