    Breakfast stop from Ohio back to Indy, just 3 mi s. off exit 165a in Richmond. Cute little diner. About half a dozen counter stools and booths. I got my food to go since I had my dog in the car. Took about 15 min, but was brought out to me with a "thank you, my pleasure" nice service. I got the ham egg and cheese on an English muffin, and a small biscuits and gravy. Seems like I've been ordering these a lot at places lately! Food was plentiful. Muffin was just a tad scorched but not enough that I cared. Tons of ham on the sandwich. I would love to try this with bacon! Biscuits and gravy were also tasty. #yum #ReviewsByRL #NewToMePlace

    Stopped here yesterday morning for a quick breakfast with a friend on a trip to Ohio. We stopped here because it had four stars on yelp! Those 4 stars were well deserved! The restaurant was busy enough that we sat at the counter. We were greeted immediately and we were able to order very quickly. The veggie omelette we shared was absolutely perfect made fresh and just enough. We both prefer dry toast without butter and it was delivered exactly as we asked and the Ryebread it was toasted was hot & tasty! When traveling this way again will probably stop here again

    Aj's has everything my Ron Swanson-of-a-husband loves: simplicity, no-frills, diner coffee, and breakfast foods. It's a seat yourself kinda diner, pick a stool at their bar or a booth. Menus are simple, prices are affordable, and food is cooked to order and fast. We enjoyed a Saturday morning breakfast: Ham & cheese omelet with wheat toast and biscuits & gravy. Add a large OJ and bottomless black coffee and you're looking at less than $15 for two. The waitresses are friendly and the food is hot. Carry out available, as I saw a lot of carry-out orders being picked up. Customers were courteous of wearing masks when coming and going.

    I love these locally-owned neighborhood diners! AJ's is that with friendly good service and a "seat yourself" atmosphere and a dining counter. The food was fresh and tasty, the people seemed to know each other. Small town America at its best. Recommend. Still has gum ball machine for kids.

    This is a little obscure breakfast/brunch diner. And it is the perfect spot for both!! I've been trying to find a good breakfast spot in this area and this is it! The pancakes are spot on and the BLTs are yummy! The pancakes are a decent size nice and fluffy with a tender texture. If you are in the area and are looking for somewhere good for breakfast you need to try it out. You won't leave displeased. The service is fast and friendly! Now I want to mention the restaurant is self is small but you shouldn't have to wait too long however. And a tip for hash brown fans they aren't listed under the sides on the menu but you can have them just ask.

    Omelettes

    Stopped in for a late breakfast at AJ's. It's a no frills, old time diner with charming brick walls and old time photographs throughout. We had tasty omelets (lots of fillings) that came with nice chewy rye bread and English muffins. Thoroughly enjoyable experience.

    Biscuits and gravy with an egg.

    This is the reincarnation of PauLee's but with more space. Best diner in Richmond. I've always been a fan of their biscuits and gravy.

My husband and i stopped in last week for breakfast. There were approx 4 tables seated and two new tables of two that came in behind us. Honestly the entire place felt dirty and sloppy. We sat for 15 minutes while the only waitress in the restaurant took care of all the tables including the two that came in after us because she apparently knew them. Both tables got their drinks and orders input to the cook before we were even approached. (We were never approached) We left. With one cook who did nothing to help the waitress and one waitress who honestly looked tired and sloppy and could not be bothered acknowledging us or get us water and coffee , we just didn't feel like the breakfast would measure up to our former visits. We went to Bob Evans instead.

Just past Elvis is a glass refrigerator case with shelves of pie and cake slices. There is a counter and stools straight ahead, and memorabilia on the walls. We sat in a cozy booth and our server was prompt and courteous. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, served with provolone, arugula, bacon, and Southwest ranch dressing, with a side of well seasoned fries. It was quite good with a decent piece of chicken. My husband had the turkey club wrap, with the same contents, but chose onion rings as his side. They were fresh and tasty. A quick and satisfying lunch. Bonus: one parking spot designated for veterans. Thank you.

    Me and my boyfriend moved back to Indiana from San Antonio about a year ago. We live in…read moreShelbyville and we were told about this place while eating dinner at a Mexican Restaurant one evening. We decided to check it out for breakfast. It was delicious, and we've eaten there a few times since and always have a great experience. We both have been wanting to try some of their lunch specials, but we work and can't get there to check it out. We were off today and decided to go there for lunch because they were having chicken and noodles, and that's one of my favorite meals. It did not disappoint at all. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed our meals and even ordered seconds to go, so we could have it for dinner. The chicken and noodles came with mashed potatoes, corn or green beans, and a roll. You could definitely tell the food was homemade too. Delicious! The Farmhouse Diner isn't a very big restaurant and can get pretty busy. It reminds me of a little country diner where all the local farmers and their wives go to eat breakfast and lunch. The staff is always super friendly and attentive too. We will definitely be going back.

Large back parking lot, room for at least 3-5 big rigs. Worth a stop!
