A must try! We loved the food and the theme of this diner. I got an Earth burger, milkshake and fries - all delicious! The fries were perfectly done and the burger was one of the best black bean burgers I've had. The staff were helpful, the service quick, and the prices pretty reasonable. Would highly recommend, hope to be back soon!

The ambiance was great ! It reminded me of an 80's diner kinda like in riverdale ! So if you're looking for a diner with that aesthetic I would absolutely recommend comet burgers. The food was a solid 9.5/ 10 for me. I got the comet slider I believe that had the egg on it. It looked really good when it came out and it tasted even better ! I personally just don't like runny egg yolk but it went really well with everything on the burger and I was so surprised by that. I definitely recommend :) The service was amazing as well... there was great customer service. The employees were very friendly and knowledgeable about their food. I came here with my brother and my niece and they also said the customer service was pretty good. We enjoyed ourselves and most likely will be back !

The Cuzzy Burger was the People's Choice winner at the 2024 Burger Brawl .... and I visited to try both it and the corned beef egg roll. The burger uses wonderfully melty Gruyère cheese is heavily sauced with: - Onion jam - Garlic mayo - Zip sauce The bun is perfection toasted. The patty has good beef flavor, but is overwhelmed by the sauces. The dill pickle slices are fresh, chilled and crisp. The sauces are excellent, but for my palate, too much ... but I am not going to fuss over it. The people have spoken and I accept their judgement. The corned beef egg roll is good, not great. Needs more sour, sauerkraut. The venue is best described as modern diner, well executed and clean. The unisex bathroom was clean. Sue was my server. She is knowledgeable, attentive and appropriately chatty. Value? This is Royal Oak. Rents are nuts. The value is good considering their Main St. location. Will I return? Yes; I will return, inspite of the city's unreliable, troublesome, lousy, half-baked, thieving, poor excuse for an automated parking system.

Stellar sliders, solid shakes, and chill atmosphere I ordered a double-cheeseburger slider and vanilla shake. The Slider: the bun is not cakey but rather a soft sponge-type bread that absorbs the juice of the burger well. This leaves a great meat-to-bun ratio, and the cheese melt is glorious, covering every part of the patty. I witnessed the maestro on the grill as he made my sliders, and he used the tried and true "pinch and pull" method of lifting the patty off the grill. I then saw him scrap the melted cheese on the grill and add it to the burger. It was a marvelous process to witness and a magical taste to experience. The sliders were hot, cheezy, and accompanied by caramelized onions and a touch of ketchup added for some sweetness. I was highly impressed by the double-cheeseburger sliders I ordered, so much so that I ate 5 in total. The Shake: It was creamy and delicious, and it was just right in that Goldilocks zone of not being too thick and not too milky. I ate lunch on a Sunday, and there were only a few other diners, so it was a very calm and chill environment to enjoy my food in. The service was prompt and respectful. I was not waiting long either for my order to be taken or delivered.

We have been coming here for years and we love this place. They recently changed ownership on September 15th. We met the new owner Lon, and he was super nice. He has been in the restaurant industry since he was 13 years old, for over 40 years. He was the owner of a few restaurants as well. Yes he did make some changes, but they were good changes. Instead of frozen sliders, he buys fresh sliders 5 days a week. They are now 2 oz instead of 1. They taste really fresh and delicious. The chilli cheese fries used to come in two sizes and in a plastic container. The paper would always rip and get into my fries. The fries were also soggy sometimes. The fries are now on a nice metal tin. They are actually crunchy and taste better. I thought the food was delicious. I saw some people say there was no fountain drinks. That was probably because he was getting a brand new machine. We had fountain drinks when we were there and we saw the brand new machine they got installed. He is planning on making more changes. He wants to make it more of a space theme because of the name of the restaurant. He said he will update the decor on the walls and all the seating. I understand some people are upset that there is new ownership, but Lon seems like a great guy. He talked to us for a long while and explained that his main goal is to have fresh food. He doesn't want to use frozen patties. He was super nice to us and we are excited to come back in.
