Enjoyed the Tuesday special of Chicken and biscuits. Mashed potatoes with gravy and either peas or applesauce on the side.
It's a small nostalgic diner set in a train car! They serve GIANT portions, and the staff treat you and each other like old friends. This place was full when we stopped for breakfast, and it was worth every bite! Easy on the pocket, too! 10/10 would eat here again!
Lives up to the hype. Great service. Gravy fries and Black Russian sandwich were delicious. Friendly staff.
We had the best breakfast ever! The food was absolutely delicious! Very good service with a hometown feel. We will definitely return when we are in the area again. It was awesome!
I’ve been to a lot of American diners and hardly any ever had lasting impression until I went to the diner. What a cosy little place. Instantly fell in love with the vibe because of the super smiling welcoming staff! Our meal was delicious cooked fresh and in front of us! Ordered the tuna melt- divine ! And omelette and fried eggs. All quickly eaten up because they were so good and fresh! The coffee tasted great too. Forever grateful to the kind hostess who generously let me have their water glass as a memento. Like I said not all diner institutions leave a lasting impression and now this one will live on in my home ❤️
Amazing food and amazing service been down by it for a while Decided to try it out. I dont regret it!! Will be back for sure.
This is our kind of place! We love local small diners. This one is a must if in the area. The short order cooks are on it! The food was delicious. My husband had the steak and eggs and I had a breakfast sandwich. We already want to go back for their sandwiches.
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING…!!! The food is ALWAYS on point ! We love the Oreo stuffed French toast and I usually order buffalo chicken strips first thing in the morning (THEY ARE SO GOOD!) I love coming to this diner… , the music , the waitresses , the cook, the waiters, and even the regulars are awesome they all make it a really great environment ! I definitely suggest trying this place, you will love it !
Classic American diner with a cool old-school atmosphere. The breakfast was tasty, portions were good, and the outdoor seating area was actually really nice and relaxing. Coffee was good, service was friendly, and the place had that real small-town diner feeling. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area.
We happened upon “The Diner” restaurant by chance and are so glad we did! The setting is a converted train car (even the restrooms keep the original aesthetic), which makes for a memorable atmosphere. It’s a treat to watch the cooks; the two gentlemen behind the counter were perfectly synchronized and highly organized. As for the food, it was phenomenal. The portion sizes are substantial, so come hungry. It is a bit intimate inside due to the train car layout, but don't let a wait leer you away, it’s a 5-star experience that is worth every minute. We are certainly keeping this on our radar for future trips through the area.
