Other guests praised the engaging and friendly staff on special occasions like birthdays and Mother's Day. The food received mixed reviews, with some highlighting dishes like steak and lobster, fried chicken, and fresh strawberry pie, while others found the food average.

Was Bob Kato at Around The Clock a mag?
Long time in business with good food and plenty of it. Great service. Very consistent. Good value. Large menu. I would not recommend the Waffle as it was small for the price and served too cold. View all feedback.

What Adam Mickiewicz dislikes about Around The Clock:
The waitress had no personality. No smile. And was very short with us. My dinner was good it was the steak and lobster. Nice medium rare. My mom's steak was a prime rib cut. It was grey and looked bad. I wouldn't go here for dinner again. Maybebreakfast or lunch. Waitress needs more people skills. View all feedback.

Traditional American diner with a huge sweet's counter. The menue has everything from salads to entree's like roast turkey mashed potatoes and gravy. The French onion soup is good, salty but good. The portion size is standard allowing leftovers. Everytime I've been the parking lot is full but seating is available immediately. The service is always prompt, helpful and friendlymaking sure glasses are full and guests are happy. Highly recommend this family restaurant to everyone that's wants a cup ofcoffee and pie or family gathering on Sunday.

It was ok. Much of the gyro meat was overcooked and crunchy beyond the normal amount. I don't think it's worth the $13.

Recommend the Italian omelette. It's my favorite and the pancakes are good too. Service is friendly and food arrives quickly.

We were in the area and decided to dine here! We have been here before but it has been several years. As soon as you walk in the restaurant you will see a display of desserts. They currently have some cute Halloween cookies, pumpkin, ghost and Frankenstein cookies decorated and they are so cute. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure my husband had plenty of drink refills. I ordered the French dip deluxe sandwich and received a bowl of soup and I substituted the cottage cheese for the potato and they gave me a pickle. My meal was good! It was prepared perfectly! My husband ordered the Corned Beef Hash with two eggs (scrambled) and hash browns. Instead of toast he paid $1 more for two huge pancakes. He was really impressed with the taste of his food and said he would definitely order this again. We shared a piece of caramel apple pie and it was really delicious. I don't think there was a bottom crust but it was still very good. We will definitely be back again when we are in the area.
