Editorial Review for 501 Diner – by Gail Courtland
In Short
Why go to Owens? If you're starving and all you want is a plain-old, good meal (like the huge Borg-ship meatloaf). Or if you wake up needing breakfast and coffee. Or if you want a laid-back date over burgers. Since this is Owens' take on the diner idea, you could also order portobello polenta or pan-seared salmon--and a couple of scotches.

Insider Tips
Where To SitThe classic counter with stools--in fact, there are two counters: one in the smoking section--with a complete bar--and one in the nonsmoking section.

if you want breakfast that's overpriced and samll portions that shouldn't be in a diner, then go here! I never thought breakfast was something that could get messed up, but I guess I was wrong. From a long wait, to unattentive service, to the gut rott feeling I got after eating breakfast, I don't recomend this place to anyone who enjoys breakfast...

great food, best service, clean tables, clean everything, loved the coffee, great value! my only complaint is that they are closed on mondays; the day my wife and i go out for breakfast. we are looking forward to lunch there some time.
Pros: everything
Cons: if you don't like it, then go home and eat your feces!
