After my first visit and observation I'm reminded of Cheers "Where everyone knows your name" - your…read moregreeted warmly, treated like your family, handled with care. This truly a wonderful experience for all ages and varying tastes. A tremendous and welcome change we've come to endure from other dining experiences. Here the customer is THE primary focus from the moment you walk in til you walk out the door - BRAVO!! The food, had the Mayberry Mega where you pick your 6 omelette ingredients. Normally a crap shoot in most diners but here it was a home run. The ham and sausage were nice size chunks, juicy, and full of flavor. Spinach, onions, and tomatoes were fresh and perfect sizes and good quantities for the dish. That leaves the cheese my one "ding" would have preferred shredded cheese vs sliced cheese because of flavor and texture - but it didn't take away from a wonderfully prepared omelette made and severed with genuine care. Potatoes were frozen BUT they were prepared exceptionally well for dinner dare they were soft and cooked with a nice crisp. It was a superb surprise and a very welcome one. The coffee was fresh and hot and the standard "acidic" coffees you'd find in most diners anywhere, but overall inviting enough to have a few cups for a discerning coffee "snob" like me. Place was PACKED so all tables and booth were full, but they have a nice counter service with plenty of seating and space to move and eat and be very comfortable for your meal. What's fascinating is the incredible teamwork and collective desire to ensure your time, experience, and meal are spent enjoying your company and food not staring at your watch wondering about time. The entire restaurant was seated, served, and cleared with clean tables within the time I had to get and consume my own breakfast. So if you see a packed house on your arrival and don't desire that counter seat fear not - in this home environment your wait will be short and your day will lose no valuable time - well worth some minimal patience - you'll be glad you did. Your greeted as soon as you walk in by one or more of the extremely hardworking waitresses with a smile - your also sent off with a "Thank you. have a Good Day" by one more waitresses as you leave - both excellent touch of service class enhancing customer experience. I've never seen a more well-run diner or any restaurant from the waitresses to the cooks to the dishwashers the teamwork, attention to details, customer satisfaction, and to the incredible cleanliness of the restaurant despite the constant flow of customers - I've never seen a restaurant so clean and kept so clean the out the day. So what are you waiting for come to Mayberry where a warm greeting, clean home, exceptional food are calling YOUR name today...I'm returning perhaps I'll see you there....Bon Appetite!!

Good diner experience. The service was excellent, with quick service and lots of coffee refills…read more The food was basically what we expected. The egg white veggie wrap was nicely portioned without being over the top; a little mustard and hot sauce was required to complete the profile, but that's fine. The veggie omelette was good, with a big portion of hash browns and a decent quantity of veggies in the omelette. Hot sauce and mustard were also our friend here, but that works for me. The staff were very friendly and attentive, even beyond what we would have expected. All told, this was an excellent experience if you're looking for a fast paced diner breakfast.

It is a comfortable and clean diner atmosphere located within a strip mall next to an Asian restaurant and near a Little Caesars takeout. Today I was there for brunch and brought along my laptop and lots of work that I'd hoped to get done while there. After ordering a Spinach and Feta Omelette, I asked for the WiFi password and was told they don't have WiFi available for customers. Ok, so much for my work plans. Ugh. My omelette arrived fairly quickly and I also ate it quickly because I had work to do. The omelette was overall delicious. I will say, however, that the ingredients were not evenly distributed within the omelette. For instance, the tomatoes and onions were on one side, the spinach and feta weren't evenly mixed together and there were parts of the omelette that had no filling at all. The home fries were good, but I had to seek out ketchup from another table (rather than wait for my server to check on me). The coffee has never been the best but the main entree generally makes up for it. The value was decent and I'd recommend for a casual meal in a clean setting.

He was climbing in the sea, kicking his legs out in the aisle feet in the seat it was in nobody bothered to correct him.

Exceptional food quality overall - wished they used real potatoes instead of frozen - the thinly sliced peppers and real ham thinly sliced added to the wonderful juicy omelette taste despite frozen potatoes being used - wished the coffee was of better quality not the typical acidic coffee you can find anywhere else. Would definitely recommend a visit and checking them out - top notch service and great tasting food.

It's a "Homemade" biscuit topped with hashbrowns, sausage, sausage gravy and eggs. The biscuit may have been homemade, but not the same day they sold it to me. It was cold and rock hard. The sausage was as bland as unseasoned ground meat. I asked for the potatoes to be crispy and they were still gray and cold. The gravy has no flavor whatsoever and my eggs were overcooked. I probably won't go back. This is the 3rd time I've been there and they're pretty consistent with things... Maybe someone that works there should sample their own wares for the sake of quality control??? I bet things would change.

The property that houses the Fresh Start Diner has been home to many restaurants over the years…read more It's located in an industrial, rough around the edges, blue collar neighborhood just north of the Old West End. It's a bit of a desolate area, and I suspect the reason it's been so many different restaurants is due to the lack of traffic. There just aren't many people passing through this part of town. That said, if you live close, it's worth a visit. Fresh Start does a great job of making you feel at home. We experienced very friendly service, and the ultra classic American diner food was perfect and predictably prepared. In addition to standard fare, as we were leaving we noticed a sign encouraging you to customize your burger in a variety of ways, including adding jalapeño poppers. We also noticed they had a HUGE variety of hot sauces, easily the most I've ever seen at a restaurant. These little details make me look forward to coming back.
