My wife and I had breakfast here. The food was good. The prices are a little high compared to local mom and pop diners but comparable to prices of national brands such as Ihop, Denny's, Bob Evans and Waffle House.The interior looks like a diner from the 1950's but I know better. This building was originally a Schlotzsky's Diner and it sat vacant a few years before it was converted to Mega in the mid 2000's.There are better local choices for breakfast... but if you want the fun of dining next to an Indian motorcycle and some "false nostalgia", be my guest.

A friend and I went last night for the first time and the fish was delicious. The price was reasonable and the waitress was very nice. I didn't have her to replace my water. I will be going back.

Noisy and almost always crowded, however, never have to wait for more than a few minutes for a table. Waitresses really hustle. Portion sizes are fair for the money. Breakfast is served all day.Flint, MI is famous for Coney dogs and Leo's does not disappoint.

Most of the Coney Islands and "Family Style" diners in the flint area have a gritty, well-worn feeling. This place is nice and clean and feels more like a mom & pop place where the owners care for the restaurant as if it was their home.The food is good and the prices are reasonable. I ordered the fried clams and got a hearty portion of clams cooked right. The tartar sauce was cheapo Kraft that tasted and smelled a bit funky so I didn't use any. The mashed potatoes were good. The cottage cheese is served cold and fresh and it was excellent.Gordon Foods products (GFS) are served here. This was my first time eating here... I think I'll come back on a Friday to check out the "fish-fry" special. It sounds good.

Fresh, made to order, non-commercial foods are served efficiently and by a friendly staff. Half meals are filling and the soups are hot, hearty, and homemade. We keep going back for quality, value, speed, service, and a wide menu that can meet the needs of almost anyone. Desserts are terrific. As we continue to take friends, the consensus is this place is a gem, well priced & portioned, and worthy of continued patronage. We've never had a bad or even mediocre experience here.

Whether it's breakfast, lunch with friends or dinner with family we are always treated like family here at Olympic. The owner Noah is usually walking around greeting or seating customers on a daily basis. He is always interested in our opinions on how to make things better or our visit more comfortable. Menu is diverse and "health friendly." Absolutly LOVE the "Strawberry Salad with Chicken and Raspberry Dressing." Everything is fresh and servings are generous. Great place to bring your family or out-of-town guests. There is something for everyone on this menu!

I think if someone is looking for the greatness in America in these times of promises and everything having to be huuuuge and treeeemendous. They should stop for Breakfast in Flint Mi at the Krystal Jo Diner. Its not found in a line of franchise places, or a truckstop,. No, its in the heart of a neighbour hood that is a little ragged and the worse for wear. you may even reconsider your choice as you look from the outside but then you see the signs with a sense of humour, and the fact that there are people in there on presidents day. YEs it may seem a little ragged too, iTs a diner that still has its original linoleum, with famous car doors on the wall made by the owner from salvaged car doors that have been repainted. There are the round stools and the guy working over the grill. This is no nostalgia place but like i have only seen in the US, a real diner, where folks could expect a reasonably priced meal, the coffee is strong but not espresso and everything is made before your eyes and your conversation happens with the back of a hardworking grill chef. You know you are in good hands when you see him grating the cooked potatoes in front of you and the bacon goes on in an ordered line. the ham is real, not ham flavoured slices, the bread is thick and fried not toasted and the menu has many variations on the breakfast and burger theme and unlike so many of the âreal American Foodâ that is promised, this is the real mccoy. The guys working there are funny irreverent and proud of what they re doing, and rightly so. It is the best breakfast i have had in a long while. The home fries are real( see the grating the cooked potato above) There are hot sauces, as individual as this place, the steak skillet lives up to it with real cheese and done to perfection. The five of us had five different plates, five different tastes but everyone got happier with every bite. And the price was reasonable. This is a place that decided that despite the troubles and closed-up businesses around them they were going to still keep making a great breakfast, at a reasonable price for any and all that cross the threshold. That kind of spirit is the spirit I have always loved about the USA. Itâs defiant, itâs hardworking, itâs got a sense of community, itâs about giving value and something that can make you proud. If I were president, I would be down there on my day waving my flag and hoping that their spirit spreads to every community from coast to coast to coast. Those people are out there in their communities, quirky, hardworking, giving back by having benefits to give bicycles to kids in Flint, or the equivalent. Do yourself a favour and go out of your way for the Krystal Jo Diner in Flint MI.

The reviews of this place seem to be either very positive or very negative. Count us among the positive. We stopped for dinner and were warmly welcomed. The service was friendly and attentive. We ordered off the senior menu; she had fish and chips (with sweet potato fries) and I had two chicken breasts with mashed potatoes. Both dishes came with a good sized salad and corn for $7.99. Portions were very generous; frankly, we could have ordered either dish and shared it. The food was tasty; the atmosphere is bright and open. A high-class restaurant it is not, but itâs clean, welcoming and very reasonably priced.

Stopped for breakfast on a recommendation. Food was excellent and extremely fast, hot coming out of kitchen. Prices were as cheap as you will find for good food. Only thing keeping from 5 star is the wait staff was not very friendly. Fast, efficient yes but not friendly. I would recommend to anyone in area looking for a very good hot homemade breakfast. Oh and not sure if it was or was not made on site but toast was way above average, not your standard bread.

Starlite Burger and Coney Island isn't your average diner. Our original location opened its doors in 1966. We've been serving unbeatable burgers, coneys and breakfast food combos to our Flint area neighbors ever since. Now with our second location coming

What have they done to the old coney island? They taste like they bought the meat sause from GFS and the onions were bitter not sweet. The only good thing was the Koegel dog but how can anybody screw up something so basic as a Flint coney?
