Good hot food.. not bothered by anyone. Love the way this place is set up!.. The dining room is set up different read more

Our group of friends 6 or 7 went for breakfast like always, some got bacon that was white and like rubber and refused to eat it, I got 1 pancake two little pieces of sausage that would have been one link anywhere else coffee and toast for $12.00 and the service was another story. It's sad because when we first started going there it was really good but the quality of the food has really gone downhill and the prices have hit the roof. We'll find another restaurant that appreciates our business, I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Sub par service. Food was just ok. Wouldn't go back. Regret going today. Place needs a good scrubbing

Food was hot and fresh. Quickly made. Had Mac n cheese soup, didn't think I would like it because it looked like watered down Mac n cheese. I was wrong it was Delicious! Chicken cordon blue was very tasty. Good portions for the price. Quiet place and able to conversation easily. read more

Food was delicious and staff was very friendly. I got a BLT and they did not skimp on the bacon! Others in our party had the fish sandwich, hamburger, breaded zucchini. Everyone left very happy! read more

Amherst Diner is a favorite for the locals. Service is always quick and friendly. We usually go here for breakfast, they have a large selection for breakfast and it's always good. You will not leave here hungry, they have very generous portion sizes. Don't expect anything fancy, but that's part of what's great about this diner. The staff gets to know you, and treats you like one of their own. The daily specials are always a nice addition to the standard menu. read more

Food was pretty good not bad price. The cabbage soup was pretty good I got open face roast beef although she brought me roast beef dinner which is now what I ordered. Wife got Ruben which she said was pretty good. Daughter got country fried steak it came with brown gravy Not what you would expect with country fried steak. Son in law got cheese burger said it was pretty good. Service was pretty good she was attentive and brought me some bread for my roast beef to make it an open face like I ask for. Decor was a little dated but for a dinner it wasn't too bad. I would eat here again. read more

Been coming here for many years, even when it was Farmer Boys. Never again the way I was treated by their so called Manager! We usually dine in but this time we ordered Togo. We ordered our norm which is 2 Chicken Stir-fry, 1 Shrimp Stir-fry and Combo Appetizer. Our portions on the dinners were a disgrace for what we were charged. When we dine in our plate is covered with a huge mound of vegetables on top and 8 or 9 big strips of chicken...HA that's not what we got for Togo. Our container wasn't even half filled with 4 small pieces a chicken as I wouldn't call them strips, hardly any vegetables or rice. Our Combo Appetizer came with less portion as well and no dipping sauces. So I called to voice my disappointment and the guy who said he was a manager acted as if he didn't care...asked me what I want him to do about it...when I stated a refund he offered 1 free meal...seriously a slap in the face for $64...didn't even offer half refund considering we only got half portion of what you get dining in. He didn't even issue an apology or anything descent to make it right! Long time customers no more...when you disrespect your customers it's a wonder there's hardly any that go there...don't get me wrong the service from waitresses is good and the food is as well when you actually get what you pay for! Now there's 4 less customers they have! The Manager needs customer service training! read more

Amherst Diner - American Near Me - South Amherst, Ohio

The Amherst Diner has excellent food with reasonable prices. The atmosphere is that of a mom and pop place. Most of the servers are very nice and very open for conversation. We are regulars now and if they see us coming, they already have our coffee poured. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is there is one server (Christine) that is quite rude to people. For example, someone seated themselves and she basically yelled at them and then told the next table about it and didn't even lower her voice. I have even heard people mention they wouldn't be back because of her. However, don't let that deter you. It is well worth your time. read more

I've been eating here for years, growing up in the area. Back in the day it was previously Farmer Boy Restaurant. Close to Jamie's Flea Market and the Amherst Turnpike Exchange. Recently went for breakfast and lunch on separate occasions. The prices are decent for what you get, specials daily and a $9.99 lunch menu. The patty melts my mom and I ordered for lunch were delicious. The breakfast I ordered the next time was so-so, my party of five's breakfasts were ate without complaint. The coffee here is really strong, if that's your thing. Many of the servers have worked there a long time and have a loyal following of customers. The building itself and parking lot are to be desired here tho. The chairs and tables are really in need of not just repair, but to be replaced! Some of the reasons for only giving three stars, wish I could've given them a better rating. I'll be going again for sure so hopefully a few things will change and I can increase this ratings review. read more

Along our travel route and knowing we'd be needing breakfast, I made plans to eat here while I was still in Oregon. I wasn't disappointed. Chatted with several of the locals and took a recommendation from one. Service was prompt and attentive and the food was good. Biggest impression was the value. Nothing fancy, for sure but a solid spot worth trying out. read more

Amherst Diner - a plate of breakfast food - American Near Me - South Amherst, Ohio

Just wanted a light dinner and was very pleased. They have a 1/2 sandwich special with two sides for $4.99. Besides the 1/2 Rueben and the potato salad that is pictured, I also had a cup of creamy rice chicken soup that was nice and hot and good! This is one of the BEST light meals I have ever had! The service was also very good and will definitely be back again! read more

Food was great. Prices very reasonable. Service was good. Will definitely return for breakfast in the near future. Nothing bad to say about this restaurant. read more

Just walked out very disappointed, I stopped in to place a quick take out order, they sat 4 different groups that came in after me then still let me stand there for 5 minutes before anyone ever finally approached me, I was out of time and had to leave without placing an order, I will not be back. read more

We were trying to go to "Farmer Boy's" for breakfast, but this restaurant showed up in its location. I'm guessing they are one and the same. Solid diner pretty much in the middle of nowhere. You're probably stopping by here because it is one of the few restaurants surrounding the apple picking orchard. Cheap food, good portions, and quality is fine. Standard fare. Nothing special about the place, but it was clean and service was good. read more

Worth getting off the turnpike for. Good specials-lots of entrees to pick from that include two sides. Lots of selection for kids. And they take credit card. I would definitely return if we landed in that area during meal time on another turnpike trip. read more

Price is right. Service is fabulous. I'm particularly fond of "shel", but all of the staff is courteous and prompt. Even when i have seen them swamped with business, my coffee doesn't get half empty or cold. Five stars for service indeed. read more

The place doesn't look like much from the outside or inside. Now let's talk about food. All our food was great based on taste, amount and price! I had a 10 oz stake, baked potato, salad and desert for $8.79! There were three ladies with me and two of them took half there meal home because the portions were so large. The staff was super friendly, fast and professional. Don't judge a book by its cover and go try their food! read more

Amherst Diner - a car parked in front of the restaurant - American Near Me - South Amherst, Ohio

Amherst Diner is a pretty nice place to stop in for a meal. The food is good and the prices are not that bad. The wait staff is also pretty good. I recently took a coworker who lives on the far side of Cleveland here for lunch and he said he wished he lived out here so he could go to the Amherst Diner more often. read more

Ate lunch there last week. They have very good specials and if you're worried about distancing don't... they are up to date on all that. I had stuffed cabbage and it was good! read more

Have eaten there under both names at least once a month for a meeting. Nothing to write home about. Simply okay food if you don't want anything other than breakfast I have ran the menu and nothing to brag about. Service is fair to good. Atmosphere is typical diner style. I would compare to Denny's or maybe a little better. read more

Stopped here after going to Jamie's flea market. Got the Ruben plater. And the river chicken sandwich . Omg it was so good. The sampled basket was really good and more then enough for everyone . The soups are really good read more

Great food and Incredibly friendly service! Wonderful small town feel. I would eat here everyday if I lived around here. It is "cash only" but there is an ATM right next door. I would give this place 6 stars if I could! :) Oh and I forgot I mention.... The prices were great! read more

The food is awesome and great prices service is good . nice and clean one of my favorite places

The old Farmer Boy Restaurant is now Amherst Diner. At first glance it's the same place but with a few differences. The portions are really good sized, especially the home fries. They have specials during the week and even a Saturday kids eat for $0.99. The staff is really friendly and attentive to needs like condiments and beverage refills. The price is pretty topical for a family restaurant. Make a day of it on a Wednesday or Saturday and head over to Jamie's Flea Market after your meal like us. read more

It will always be Farmer Boy (previous name) to our family. However nothing has really changed. Excellent portion sizes at a very reasonable price. Food quality is always great. read more

Good hot food and good low prices! Chicken samiches are goooood! You get soup, entrée AND RICE PUDDING! Yum, wait! Maybe I shouldn't be telling anyone about this place. read more

Nice place, been eating here for decades because I live nearby. Food is always good and the waitresses are great! Always feel at home.

A Saturday morning visit with a friend was not a great experience. Entering the restaurant we saw a handwritten sign that said all items with eggs are increased by .50 cents each due to a recent price hike. We decided to give it a shot anyway and ordered croissant and egg with a fruit cup, the special which was two eggs and hash browns with sausage. Toast was ala carte. Service, speed and portions were good however there were real issues with food quality. We aren't coffee snobs by any measure but it was bad. Bitter and weak. The hash browns that hit the flattop were great but unseasoned, the rest were underdone. The sausage appeared to have been deep fried or at least very overdone. The eggs were good. My friends croissant and egg was soaked through with moisture, the eggs were fused into the croissant and the fruit cup was underripe melon that an educated guess says came from a bag. Again price and service were good but when we left we received the obligatory "How was everything?" In a totally out of character response I said it was a total fail all around. She just smiled and said "that's great" and handed us our credit card slip. read more
