Although the Shalimar has knowledge that they are responsible for keeping up the area around the curbside tree, they just ignore it. The grass is nearly waist high and the garbage strewn and hidden in the tall grass makes it a trip & fall waiting to happen.
If you walk too close to the building, you may get hit in the head by pieces of the cement facade that are falling off. Makes one think what is going on in their kitchen with all this obvious neglect!" - Anonymous

Shallimar has seen better days. It always looks run down and dirty from the outside. Very un inviting . Don't think they will last much longer .
I don't see many busineses (or private homes) that take care of street trees. I won't patronize them.
no matter, soon it will to under and be turned into another giant chinese restaraunt like i see with a lot of old time diners
Nobody goes to diners anymore.
My son recently moved near there, and on moving day I took him and his friend to Shalimar for lunch. Our meals were great-- classic diner food. The inside looked clean and kept up. I must say I didn't take notice of the tall grass outside, I was too hungry I guess. It makes me happy that we still have real diners like this, and not all big national chain restaurants in Queens.
I love Diners! There is nothing more New York City. I love the Metro in Middle Village and the Classic over on Lefferts and Myrtle.
What part of the wall is crumbling? You can't tell what part those close-ups are from. Way around back? Here is the diner from the front. Doesn't look too terrible. I like to complain as much as the next NYer, but this diner's really pretty nice!

Shalimar is the only place where I have ever been asked how I wanted my turkeyburger cooked. Is this even a question? It's fricken poultry?!
