Editorial Review for Town Talk Diner – by Molly Priesmeyer
In Short
Exposed brick, stainless steel and indie-alternative tunes set this metrosexual haunt apart from the average greasy spoon. A steady clientele of hipsters enjoy hours of gab and grub, soaking up the kitsch of the dining room and bar. The ambitious menu--invented by three fancy chefs who decided to take their talents to the people--ranges from wieners and burgers to a much more dapper double-cut pork chop with sour chicory hash and cherry sauce.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkForties take on a more demure appearance and are served champagne-style in ice buckets. Old school drinks like gin fizzes and Rob Roys make a comeback. For dessert, the Monkey Business adult malt--made with chocolate ice cream, bananas, peanut butter and bourbon--is great to slurp with your sweetheart.
The ExtrasTown Talk now serves its famous Frickles, burgers, tempeh sandwiches and more during lunch. And for an extra-special old-school lunch break, classic cocktails like the Jackson Pollock and Manhattans add even more allure to Town Talk's charm.

As I entered Talk Town Diner for the first time I was confused. There was no one there to greet me so I walked up to the first sever wearing a purple headband. The headband was actually being used for its purpose rather than fashion. It was saturated with sweat. Ewwwwwww. I then said, “I have never been here before and was wondering, do we just sit anywhere?". His reply was "NO” and the way he said it was the problem. He pointed to a table and then I got the pleasure of having this guy as my server. He proceeded to go through the regular dining motions i.e. specials, waters, and the "give you a moment to decide". He didn't come back. I finally made the eye contact move and signaled him over. (I like to call people by their names, but since he never told us his....) I then proceeded to ask if i could order some drinks, which I thought was his job. My next round I had to signal again. The food was good but definitely cannot outweigh the service. This was a first date and I was not impressed with her either. Ha.
Pros: Food
Cons: service, parking, headbands

I love the drinks here. I got the Peanut Butter/Chocalate/Brandly Malt and it was Amazing!!! Food is good but very expensive for what you get. Also it’s American bland food like a grilled cheese sandwich and fries, things you can just make at home for a much cheaper price. Best place to go out late night for drinks, outside seating is available, retro decorations, friendly staff.
Pros: Interesting Drinks, Ambience, Outside Seating
Cons: Parking, Expensive, Small
