The philosophy of the kitchen and bar at Poole’s Diner is simple to digest… creative, simple offerings carefully executed. We are proud to be a part of a community that recognizes the importance and value of supporting the small family farm.

Paying homage to the 1950s lunch counter that once inhabited the same space, Poole's Diner is an energetic lunch spot that moonlights as a martini bar once the sun goes down. The...
We love Poole’s and it always delivers! Tonight was a take out only night due to the Coronavirus and it was amazing. This unique place is one of a kind and a must try.

The...
The food was the best I’ve ever had. The short ribs were extremely tender and melted in my mouth. The Mac and cheese was unique and also delicious. Our server was excellent - friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, made great recommendations.
The food tastes great especially the mac&cheese and the blueberry and strawberry crumble are phenomenal... however 2 seared scallops for $23 as a main dish was a small portion but had flavor...
Love this place and the food didn't disappoint, but the service was horrible. We sat at the bar and ordered from the rudest bar tender ever. He knew nothing about the wines and seemed officially bothered when I asked to taste one before committing. We ordered a bottle and after filling our first glass he never filled them again.

Poole's Downtown Diner is a classic midtown diner that serves upscale contemporary American fusion cuisine. Specialties include duck confit, fried chicken, and weekly specials like sunburst tomatoes with slaw and fried shrimp.
In its latest incarnation Poole's has returned to its diner roots under the ownership of Chef Ashley Christensen. Marrying a clean aesthetic with retro-chic charm, Christensen restored and highlighted the "bones" of the original restaurant, including the double horseshoe bar and red leather banquettes, pairing it with modern elements like Lucite chairs, and oversized blackboard menus that...
Poole's Downtown Diner's menu is constantly changing to take advantage of fresh, seasonal ingredients.
Since Kings Barcade is right next door, Poole's is the perfect place to stop for a snack after a late night of live music.
