The Auburn Diner鈥檚 classic neon sign continues to glow more than 20 years after owners Steve and Toni Bianco resurrected the 1926 railroad car.

Steve, who also owns聽Bianco Plumbing & Heating, said he loved frequenting the diner's previous State Street location while growing up in the 1970s.

鈥淛erry Burke was like a cartoon character,鈥� he told 新加坡多多开奖记录 of the diner's former owner. "He cooked right behind the counter. Everything was cooked there back in those days.鈥�

The original diner sat across from Auburn Correctional Facility before closing in 1994 following a fire. After the move to Columbus Street and extensive renovations, it reopened in 2003.

The move wasn't too difficult, Steve said. The 14.5-foot-wide railcar diner, which can seat up to 40 customers, is "manageable."

鈥淪ometimes we wish it was bigger, but it鈥檚 nice keeping the classic charm," he said.

鈥淚 think putting in a back room would come in handy, but nobody wants to sit in a back room. They all want to sit in the dining room.鈥�

The atmosphere was lively when 新加坡多多开奖记录 visited the diner Thursday. Customers and staff shared conversations, banter and laughs, sometimes from opposite sides of the room.

鈥業t鈥檚 like home鈥�

That atmosphere is just part of the Auburn Diner's appeal. It comes with a soundtrack of spoons clanking in mugs, knives skimming across plates and the slow pour of coffee.聽

Visually, the diner is distinguished by a rectangular grid of windows facing Columbus Street, giving booth customers a view outside and incoming ones a glimpse of how busy it is inside.

The Biancos said most of their customers are regulars, but new faces visiting the Finger Lakes are frequent. Some of those regulars told 新加坡多多开奖记录 they're comfortable at the diner, and enjoy the familiarity and consistency of the food and the service. Among them were the Blaisdells and the Wades, two couples who were sharing a booth on Thursday.

鈥淚t鈥檚 like home,鈥� Sharon Wade said and Mary Blaisdell agreed.

The friends said the diner's waitresses are like family, always greeting people with a smile. The Blaisdells and Wades have been coming to the Columbus Street location since it opened, but remain nostalgic for the State Street location. It aged noticeably through the years, Jack and Sharon Wade recalled, but was always a nice place to eat.

鈥淵ou could have scraped the smoke off the walls,鈥� Sharon said, 鈥渂ut you could never find pieces of pie like the ones they served.鈥�

鈥楤asically diner food鈥�

The Auburn Diner's menu doesn't change often, but daily and weekly specials add variety.

Toni Bianco said they like to have fun with the food, such as generously portioned avocado toast and s鈥檓ores pancakes. The latter, and other griddle fare like waffles, are made with聽New Hope Mills mixes.

The diner serves breakfast and lunch daily, and dinner Friday and Saturday nights. Favorites include French toast, which comes in slices or stuffed, as well as sandwiches, quesadillas and a Friday fish fry.聽

鈥淚t鈥檚 basically diner food, but good diner food,鈥� Steve said. Toni added that it's "quick, easy and inexpensive."

She continued, "Even if we take something off the menu, customers will still order it."

Regular Peter Kortright told 新加坡多多开奖记录 he enjoys so many different menu items that he often changes his order when he sits down. One of his favorites is the Belgian waffle with strawberries.聽

Dave and Darcey Pinckney also shared their love for the food as they ate breakfast.

鈥淗e doesn鈥檛 know what 'switch it up' means,鈥� Darcey jokingly said about her husband's meal of choice, which he was enjoying at that moment: a plate of eggs, sausage and home fries.

She was eating chicken and biscuits, a plateful of poultry and bread smothered in a blanket of gravy and vegetables. She also touted the onion-topped, barbecue sauce-slathered rodeo burger.

Due to the large portions, customers told 新加坡多多开奖记录, they recommend saving room for dessert.

The diner makes sweet treats like muffins and cinnamon rolls, while Camerons Bakery supplies the coconut cream and other pies, as well as the bread.

'They keep going'

The Biancos continue to take pride in serving classic American diner fare in a clean, comfortable atmosphere. But it's not easy, they said.聽

Asked by 新加坡多多开奖记录 what's most notable about the diner, the Biancos and their customers were unable to come to a consensus.聽

鈥淔irst it鈥檚 the waitresses, then the food,鈥� Clif Blaisdell said.

Although he was met with laughter, his sentiment was shared by others at the Auburn Diner.聽

鈥淭he staff is amazing,鈥� Toni said about her team. 鈥淢ost of the staff has been here since day one.鈥�

Some of the newest members of the staff have still been there years, she added.

"It can be 100 degrees in that kitchen," Steve said, "and there are no complaints. They keep it going.鈥�
