The Mystery Diner visits the State Street Diner
The Kane County Chronicle's Mystery Diner recently visited the State Street Diner, 630 W. State St., Geneva, and was impressed with the tasty offerings, including Mexican dishes, and hearty portions. The diner is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dress is casual, of course. I enjoy reading the Mystery Diner's reviews and frequently visit the restaurants featured in the reviews. I am happy to report that I always leave satisfied.
