Pixley's Restaurant

Very good diner style food. Even better service. You can tell it's family run. I highly recommend.

I really don't like to leave a negative review, I never do even if the food is just OK. I don't expect perfection at every food establishment that I visit or even just standard or normal service/food.

This last (and first) visit to Pixley's however warranted a review.. The reason I'm leaving this to hopefully have some future patrons reconsider their choice and not have to waste $40 on inedible food. We had 45 minutes for a diner lunch, more then adequate for late afternoon soup salad and a burger. I had the soup (ham and bean) and also the All American burger. I eat out a far amount and I know what to expect from a diner for a burger lunch. After waiting 35 minutes for the lunch to arrive (and my lunch partner had just soup and salad) it went down hill fast. It was a very small burger for the price, pretty sad actually.

The burger had the worst aftertaste I have even experienced. I don't know if it was bad meat or what the problem was but it was absolutely awful. I could only stomach two bites and knew I had better not eat any more. The waitress was slow and instead of warning us the food was taking longer when we were seated (she knew they were down a cook and food was taking a long time) she just let it go and blamed the restaurant making sure we knew it wasn't her.

I'm sorry but this needed to be said, there are a LOT of other choices in this area,nhopefully you won't make the same mistake I did. $40 for 40 minutes of what tasted like Campbells soup in a can (I can do that at home and come to think if it, it would have been better). Don't advertise ham when there is a minuscule amount of meat. Sadly our waitress knew, noticed that we ate about 10% of the food yet still offered no discount or any consideration. When we told her the food was bad she just shrugged and blamed it on the cook and walked away. She was ONLY concerned about making sure we knew it wasn't her that was slow.

Best wishes to all future patrons.

Sunday morning breakfast was at Pixley's which generally is pretty good. However, not so much today. I ordered the French toast which was good but definitely could've been warmer, I asked for well done hash browns which were not well done kind of greasy and cold. My fiancée asked for 3 eggs over easy and got 2 eggs, and home fries and he got the other half of my hash browns as I ordered a half order. When we've been there in the past it was never an issue to order 1/2 of the hash browns or home fries today it was. The waitress was nice but I was not happy with my cold food. I did not complain about it as my fiancée ate my hash browns. So today they were not on their game.

Met my friends for breakfast Saturday morning 9:30 greeted by hostess who seated our party of 5 right away. Waitress was kind, attentive and polite. Coffee was fresh, and refilled regularly. Food arrived fresh and hot, was good, typical Diner food. I had the early bird special, 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon slices for $12.00 so reasonable. Place seemed clean, dated, but cared for. Will definitely be back if in the area, food, and service are spot on, thanks for the good meal.

Real Americana Food and Ambiance. This is one of the last remaining Family Restaurants in my area. Compared to similar places in the reagion, Pixleys has it all. Good food, Happy Service and Fair Prices. Coffee is tasty and their service was attentive. I am now a regular at Pixleys. Heartily recommended.

This was my first time here and I thought that this was a decent breakfast spot. We came for Fathers Day and the place was slammed. Our server was super friendly and for how packed it was, the food came out fairly quickly too. My western omelette was pretty tastey, it had some burnt spots (which I typically I hate) but I was able to overlook it since the flavors were good. Hash browns were good but the home-fries were not. They weren't crispy and had no flavor at all. Bacon also was very mediocre. Either way we enjoyed ourselves and left satisfied. I would come back again.

I grew up in the Gates area and have been going to Pixley's for years. It is that typical family owned diner. Great food, great environment. My favorite is going for breakfast. Diners and breakfast foods just go hand-in-hand. I don't think I have ever had a bad experience in this restaurant. I don't think Gates would be the same if Pixley's wasn't here.

Service was extremely slow and the place was empty on a Sunday afternoon. I had to call a waiter over to take my order. Perhaps it was a change of shifts.

The mural seems to be from a long bygone era. I was seated at the front where booths are located on either side with some tables in the center of the room.

Chicken Salad Club was very good. The chicken salad was well seasoned and had lots of crunchy celery. I did not had to add any thing to it. It came with Chips & Pickles. Pink lemonade was my drink.

Service was friendly.

Came here for a quick breakfast between gigs. Traveling to the city. We walk in and then hostess was on the phone. Handed us menus and pointed to a table. This lady was on the phone the entire time we were there. Our waitress was nice but not overly friendly. Food was pretty good decent prices. Had to pray the hostess away from her phone to pay the bill.

Would come again if I'm the area just be ware of the phone monster.

Please eat some place else. The atmosphere is out dated, tables are sticky and dirty. When I ordered my food, it came out shockingly fast which leads me to believe everything is microwaved. Speaking of the food... One word. Lackluster.
