Mercury Diner - Aurora

Do you remember Elvis Presley? The 3 Stooges? Betty Boop? If not, it doesn't matter as this place will take you there even if it was before your time. Great decor, authentic cuisine, very friendly service.

It's been many years since i have visited the Mercury Diner but yesterday offered an opportunity.I ordered Eggs Benedict which was always my go-to at this restaurant and I was not disappointed!The portions are VERY generous ... the food is tasty ... cooked right and brought to the table hot ... and the price is quite commensurate with the offering.The staff are friendly and seem genuine in their desire for you to have a good experience.I hope to be back more often than "years".I would have given this review an excellent except for 2 things ... the coffee (at least what i was served), had no taste or it was made very weak .. I suggest you search out a better coffee supplier.Secondly, the lady i had as my server was very pleasant but once she brought the meal she disappeared ... i.e.: no how's your meal? would you like more coffee? are you ready for your cheque? I had to track her down to get a coffee warmup and the cheque ... bit of a training issue maybe, Otherwise great!

Typical diner food, fast, tasty and always pleasant. Good selection from toast and coffee to bacon and eggs. Eat here often.

We needed to get our food quickly (had a train to catch), and service was very fast (once they assigned us a server). Food was good diner fare, and the kids were able to get exactly what they wanted. Location is very handy near the GO train station.

We wanted to eat some place where there were not going to be huge delays or a lot of "fast food" offerings and this diner served our needs very well. One of us ordered the BBQ Wrap which came with a caesar salad and cole slaw and the other just ordered a side of french fries with the idea that we'd split the wrap.Both items were delivered within 10 minutes of being ordered by a very attentive server named Kelly who came back 3 times during our meal to ask if everything was OK. The salad was huge, the fries were really nicely done (not greasy and over-salted like some places) and the wrap was tasty altho' it did crumble on one side to the point that it could not be eaten by hand.One niggle...the bill came with a separate charge for the cole slaw as well as the salad. ???? why?
