I did get in to check out Diamond Cafe Saturday for lunch. Had the option for breakfast but the misses opted towards the lunch menu. She went with the Fried Artichoke Hearts and the house salad. Liked them both - no greasiness of the artichokes and a good salad with Balsamic vinaigrette. I had the deep fried chicken breast, greens and mashed potatoes. The greens were tangy, slightly on the salty side. The mashed potatoes were real - good sized chunks. The potatoes and chicken were covered by a chicken gravy that was wonderful. The chicken had a fresh hand breading to it, nice and thick breast that was crispy outside and still moist inside. I will be back to try the breakfast - no menu yet, but biscuits and gravy, 2 eggs bacon/sausage combo and I think pancakes. The staff were friendly and truly appreciative of our visit - not like the canned greetings you get from some of the young people at the chains.
