    Overpriced Sysco premade food. Up charge for any changes to your order. I read they had failed some inspections regarding food preparation. I don't need to get sick eating bad food. The dinner menu specials are $25-$30. This place is a diner. If you are looking for a quality meal at a fair price, you need to pass them by. The locals rave about this dive, but they've never had real food, so they don't know the difference. I won't ever go there or recommend. Sorry...

    Food was good. Nothing special, but was a typical diner with many options. They had some daily specials as well. When in the area give it a try.

    Not happy! Didn't taste homemade but manufactured! Uggghh!

    I was 1st to review these fine folks' way back in 2018. I've visited here dozens of times and had lunch today. I'm a little worried! It's a big casual place and spotless as always. Floor, tables, chairs, everything immaculate. It was busy but my greeter had a big friendly smile and immediately showed me to my table. As usual my waitress was efficient and awesome. In this joint you pay a cashier when you leave and mine cashed me out quickly and with a smile. Sooooo, customer service was great all around. They have a massive diner menu but also a single sheet of daily specials and Baked Meatloaf was on that sheet for $13.75. It came with two sides, and I went with mashed potatoes and fried okra, and it was out quickly. So why am I worried. Take a look at my picture. It looked, well, processed. Like it came out of some machine. It certainly didn't look homemade. For those who know their way around food a bit, it looked like in might have come from a Sysco, vacuum-packed plastic sleeve. The meatloaf slices were just too perfect! The mashed potatoes consistency also looked processed. If it was on a cheap tray instead of a nice plate, some kind of institution maybe. Unfortunately, it had that processed taste. It was hot but it had that processed blandness that was not a good thing. Like something a patient might get in a low-end nursing home! It was edible but not enjoyable! This has always been a four- or five-star place for me but this time I'm dropping down to three stars and that's being generous. I'll be back to check if it was maybe an aberration. I hope so!

    Drop in at the Avon Park dinner for some breakfast and I got some good ole fashioned southern style breakfast that was good. The service was excellent and we were in and out just before the church crowd started rolling in...

    Omelet's. ??

    Ordered online due to husband getting out of Hospital. He wanted a Western Omelet. Was mostly scrambled eggs. Usually good, but this one was not. Pricey for not getting much of a Omelet. News to let people get s biscuit toast or a pancake with. Most restaurants do or they ask. AP doesn't allow. ? Basically, a good restaurant.

    Meat omelette with home fries and toast with a side of ranch dressing.

    Food was awesome, service great. Always come by here for a quick breakfast and they never disappoint.

    Biscuits are on the small side but tasty

    This is a locally owned diner with the feel of an IHOP or Denny's. Same type menu and atmosphere. The cheese omelette was just average. My dogs ate half of it. I asked for "well done" home fries but didn't get them two days in a row. Because of the hurricane, they were the only choice. Take out orders were popular. Ask for salt and pepper. Ask for napkins. They don't give you anything without asking.

    No one came to take order. Food is good though staff talks about customers and personal life too much. Cute old style area though.

    While in Orlando, we made a stop through Celebration and checked out Downtown Diner after seeing…read morethe buzz on TikTok. This spot delivers that classic diner feel with a menu packed with comfort food that hits every craving. I went all in on the Breakfast Club and it did not disappoint. Toasted challah bread layered with bacon aioli, American cheese, fried eggs, sausage patties, grilled ham, and crispy bacon. Every bite was rich, savory, and perfectly stacked. I already love a traditional club, but this breakfast version takes it to another level. It is the kind of sandwich you start thinking about again before you even finish it. We also tried the Biscuit Gravy Platter with two biscuits smothered in gravy, served with eggs and sausage patties. Warm, hearty, and exactly what you want when you are in the mood for true comfort food. This was one of those stops that turns into a must return spot real quick.

    If you are coming here when it is busy, like a weekend morning, be prepared to wait to be seated…read moreand to wait on your food. The wait will be well worth it. On this visit I sat at the counter and watched all the wonderful food come out of the kitchen. I was drooling the whole time, especially after I saw a side of bacon, the shrimp and grits, the bowls and really everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious. Ordered a patty melt and make your own skillet, with a folded egg and they got the egg perfect. The patty melt was perfect and loved the tots which were on the side. I feel on this visit they were not on their A game and still the food definitely made up for the wait. There is a reason why they are so busy, great portions, reasonable prices... and absolutely great tasting food.
