This place is the real deal. Family owned and operated with scratch made food. Small, with only 9 or 10 tables, it's not uncommon to see a line waiting outside. Want to wait in your car? They will page you when your table is ready. Clean and inviting, the space is modern, but it's really about the food... SCRATCH MADE. Scratch made biscuits, sausage gravy, hollandaise, corned beef and pastrami made in house for their breakfast hash. They even smoked the tomatoes for their shrimp and grits special. Crazy. Who does this? They do. They take pride in what they serve and how they serve it. Hospitality with efficiency and a smile. Add that to great coffee... The Diner is simply the best breakfast in the area.
We came here for lunch after visiting the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. With a name like “The Diner”, I was almost expecting something in a modified Airstream instead of a nicely appointed, standalone brick and mortar building. The place was quite full (most appeared to be locals–always a good sign), but we were seated quickly. Fresh ingredients, delicious food, and very friendly service made for an excellent lunch, which would have been very worthwhile even if the location was not as convenient as it was. Highly recommend.
One of my favorite breakfast spots in Mac. The place is always clean, organized, and a nice bright open building. The staff are very friendly and do an amazing job at being attentive and keeping coffee in the cup. My coffee cup has never ran out. The portions are very generous and the flavors are on point. Highly recommend but get there early or you will be waiting a while.
Love this place! The food is delicious and the staff is always so friendly.
We love the diner definitely recommend it. The food is always good. The staff are nice and friendly. The iced tea is really good. The classic breakfast is good and the chicken strips and tots.
We waited almost an hour for our food. We even watched people leave. As we were on vacation, we decided to wait it out. That was not easy with a two year old, but we did it. We are happy that we did. The food was delicious.! Our grandsons were also content. The staff apologized many times for how unexpectedly busy they were on a Tuesday morning. -Regina
Food was ok at best. Service was so so. Definitely much better options for the price.
Terrible customer service. Waited over an hour when I was told it would be 25 minutes. I waited in the car with my 7 month old son and my husband. We were very patient and understanding. We went in to check on things and see how much longer. We saw multiple people get seated so we knew something was up. We went in and she told us she texted us twice but never got an answer. She never stepped outside or anything. The number she wrote down was not the right number that I had told her. She said she could put us back on the top of the list but we would have to wait another 20 minutes. An hour and a half for a table for 2?! I was so frustrated after waiting very patiently watching my phone like a hawk. This was very upsetting cuz we just moved to the area and we wanted to make this a spot for us in the future. The food looked great. Drinks looked good. I was so excited to try it which is why we waited as long as we did. After this experience we will not be wasting our time here again. There are plenty of better, closer options we are going to try instead.
Food was Awesome! Lots of selection. Easy to get to location from highway 18 west of hospital.
OMG! A hidden Jem💕! Great location!!!l. Rite next to a hospital. Not to far off the beaten path. If your in town a must go to. Not a cheap place to dine, but worth the money you spend for creative taste quality ingredients. There biscuits with jam😋😋😋 simple has not been made so tasty. Burgers amazing!!! Breakfast potatoes😋😋(the layovers fed me for two more meals)!!
We had a business meeting there. Food came out hot. Service was good but not great.. I requested a drink and never received it. Server seems overwhelmed. I would still recommend this place and next time I would like to try breakfast Note they are only open until 2pm
The speciality grilled cheese and pulled pork sandwich is delicious!!! Great service and atmosphere.
Very disappointed. Waited almost an hour to be seated and then over an hour for our food. The restaurant was not too busy either. The service was very “hello and goodbye.” We were given water refills when we were finished with our meals.
Good food and service worth the wait!
Always delicious! Best mimosa and eggs Benedict around! Charmin is the best!
I've been going here for years and it never disappoints. This time I tried the dill pickle creamy soup with sour cream. Yes, it sounds odd, but believe me. It was well worth it. Love this place!
Rated the food a 2 because each time I go, I go for breakfast and I order Corned Beef Hash which has always disappointed me because the corned beef is barely present. One must pick through the abundance of potatoes to find the corned beef, however, the tiny portion that does show up is very tasty! I keep ordering it hoping it will be better the next time, but so far no such luck! I asked the server before I ordered last time if they had gotten any more generous with the corned beef, and she just looked at me and gave me a twisted smile. That should've been a big clue!
I was so happy to come here during the Meltdown with the grilled cheese. It was so good. The pulled pork and fries are amazing! Nice staff too.
Friendly welcoming staff. I love the diner. The Tater tots are the best, so crispy. Everything on their menu is delicious. All homemade food and jam. You can't go wrong. It's a must go.
I stopped in for the second time yesterday. I ended up sitting next to the woman who waited on us the first time. I asked her about her tattoo because it reminded me of my favorite album cover. Anyway, she was so kind and I could also tell that she is allowing anyone to treat her or her co-workers badly. This time I sat down next to her, I think she was on a breakfast break. Someone called her Mom so I think she must be the manager or owner. Anyway I really like everyone there. The food is amazing! Both times my eggs were cooked PERFECTLY. The rest of the food is perfection. I ended up ordering a dozen biscuits for I breakfast I am providing for friends later this month because nobody makes them better. Thank you to The Diner for being the best of the best!
