This is a diner in the classic style. It tends to get crowded during the usual peak times. The food and service are about what you would expect, nothing to write home about. There's just something about this place that makes you want to give it another chance; some strange appeal. less

A Fairfax tradition - if you are looking for simple cooking that is well done Tastee is a great place to stop. A typical "greasy spoon" 50's style diner Tastee is open for 24 hours a day and breakfast tends to be the best meal served. <br> The limited staff tend to be a bit surly but if you frequent the establishment enough you can usually coax a smile. Late night crowds tend to be folks "refueling" after a night out at the local bars - therefore, crowds can be a bit thick after "closing time". However, if your party is small you can usually find a spot at the counter. less

I've only been to this place twice. It tries it's best to hang on to that 50s era diner motif with a juke box full of old rock and roll and a great deal of chrome and naugahide. The food is quite basic...burgers, coffee, pie, eggs, pancakes, and the like. It is the authentic version of what franchises such as Silver Diner attempt to emulate. I would not necessarily go here for the food, but if you always thought that Disney World/Land should have a 50s RetroLand, this would be the place. The only thing that kills the ambience are all the SUVs and BMWs in the parking lot; however, there are those rare occasions when someone in say a '57 Bel Air Chevy pulls up. less
