Diner reviews of Ideal Diner
A diner from Fridley, MN
Jan 30, 2001
Think Al's Diner. But there is an extra three
feet behind the stools. The has browns are fried
in butter ( they make their own) with chopped
onions. The pancakes are the best I have eaten
in the Twin Cities, huge and filling. The bacon
is thick, the eggs done to a turn, and the coffee
cup is always kept full. Plus, unlike Al's, they
do have ice for the glass of water.
Smoking is allowed, but if you don't smoke, the
ventilation is very good.
The prices are comparable to other small diner's,
in other words, a bargain.
They also make burgers, sandwhiches, and have
a noon special. Open until 2 o'clock, this is
a great example of the classic diner.

I haven't been to "Sturb's" in decades, so can't speak to what it is like now. Used to love the free popcorn, ambience, and friendly staff.
