Twins Diner
In early 2009, this Bloomfield mainstay may have changed locations to a bigger space, but the food has remained a constant. Run by a set of twins, the menu is heavy on staples such as grilled sandwiches and breakfast food but also features a small dinner menu for Friday night, highlighted by the obligatory fish fry. When visiting, be sure to check out the daily specials written on the whiteboard behind the counter. It is open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., with extended hours until 8 p.m. Friday.
