    Lots of chicken
    Melissa H.

    I chose this restaurant for a casual dinner close to home. While I knew it was a diner I wasn't expecting the 50s decor. Coordinated with lots of pink and metallic touches, it's a fun place that makes you wish you'd worn your poodle skirt! The menu is extensive with breakfast lunch and dinner options. I chose several things to give myself a variety to try. The fried pickles were my top choice. I try these in many restaurants and this is a clear winner. Sliced in rounds, breaded and fried to a satisfying crunchy texture (chef's kiss). I ordered the meatloaf plate with chicken noodle soup and green beans and my friend chose a chicken wrap with fries. While I wasn't overly impressed with the meatloaf and mashed potatoes, the portions were big and the green beans and fries were really tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Jaxon is a polite and attentive sweetheart.

    The aesthetic is adorable with the pink phones hanging from the ceiling, the gorgeous dessert case, the pink sparkly bathroom door, and the art. Tables are too close together. Didn't really want to have to see giant TV playing Fox news during brunch. I believe that the owners also own My Big Fat Greek Tavern which is way better, but the service over there is spotty and they don't serve alcohol. The food here at the Dacula Diner is on par with the giant breakfast chain with the yellow sign. The best thing we all had was french fries which isn't really saying a whole lot for everything else we had. My grilled chicken plate was meh. Giant golfball sized pieces of potato in my home fries, a super dry chicken cutlet, a wee portion of eggs, and a thick dry biscuit that I needed water to get down. I'd much rather go to their Greek spot and just not have breakfast-y food.

    I was super excited to try this diner when they first opened. However, slightly disappointed with our experience. The decor is super cute and the energy in the restaurant is great. Our service was pretty average, we accepted it. The food we got was not as good as we were hoping. The pancakes/waffle dishes came out pretty decent. Our other meals were subpar. Pictures definitely looked better than taste. The chicken Philly tasted like boiled chicken with cheese on top. And the country fried chicken had very little flavor as well. I'm hoping it's because they are newer and still trying to get the flow of things. I will be back to try again to see if anything changes.

    Looks like a fairly new spot. Food prices are a little on the higher end like $9 for bagel and cream cheese. They do have a big menu, there's something for all. Seems good for groups. Ambiance looks like they're trying to make this fun and instagrammable? Cute things here and there. We enjoyed our cakes but the mains were just okay.

    *** We did not dine-in as they were out of Cod fish at the time*** Adorable diner will be a huge addition to the area. They have a full menu and it look like they will have alcohol based on the bar area, its completed with TV's! The diner has a lot of character with a staff of friendly faces. I ended up ordering a slice of coconut cake to-go, the cake was around $12, but the slices are pretty big, very soft and yummy. I can wait to try the veggie omelet.

    Lobster ravioli. The sauce is scrumptious.

    Stopped in for dinner and was pleased with the food. Kelsy was our server and took great care. Food is served hot and is delicious. The dessert's look fantastic. Another great meal at the Diner!

    Shrimp Scampi

    Servers are nice and the pies at the front looked delicious. Aesthetic is cute, not like a diner in NY but it felt nice. Now for the food... Matza ball soup- matza ball was undercooked and a literal salt bomb. I thought the soup was perfect until I cut the matza ball and opened up the sodium chloride gates. I couldn't finish the soup after that. It's how I imagine a dish would taste when an unhappy customer salts their food before returning their plate they want remade. Or, like accidentally drinking ocean water while swimming in it. The crackers were also stale and bland. Shrimp scampi- very lemony (and artificial like bottled lemon juice) garnish-heavy, and clumps of either flour or the scampi sauce made it taste awful. Buffalo chicken wrap was probably the best tasting item we ordered. It had a little too much of a balsamic glaze taste to it. Coleslaw was too vinegary. However, a wrap and fries dish is really hard to mess up. It was a safe bet. The table next to us got the fried calamari and it looked good. I don't think I want to go back, though. The Diner on Webb Ginn is way better.

    The decor is fun and inviting, great diner feel. Service was excellent. Jackson, our server, was awesome! The food is great and there is so many options!

    A Hidden Gem in Dacula - We're Coming Back! We had the pleasure of visiting Dacula Diner today, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. We ordered the Disco Fries, Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich, and a Monte Cristo Sandwich, and let me tell you, everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Our server, Maria, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. She and the staff immediately made us feel welcome and at home, even going out of their way to rearrange chairs to make room for my husband's wheelchair. That kind of genuine hospitality means a lot. The ambiance is fun and inviting, the kind of place where you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. And in this economy? The prices are more than reasonable, especially considering the large portions and quality of the food. We're so happy to have a diner like this in our town. We'll definitely be back soon!! Can't wait to try their breakfast and dinner service next!

    Fish and chips.

    They are brand new to the neighborhood and just getting started. I will say everybody was courteous, and the food was good. It came out hot and at a reasonable time. They only have three or four booths, everything else is a table and chair. The decor is like 50s, as was the music which was kind of cool. They got a little busy and it took a minute to get to go boxes and check out. But that's normal for a restaurant. They did not have a lunch menu so the menu that they can do is their menu all the time . The prices are a little bit high. Naturally we would like to try some other items on the menu and will be back to see if anything has changed.

    This is my second time at this location and my most recent visit was just as pleasant as my first…read more I see that they have a seasonal menu, but I never realized that their items all have about 600 or less. Now I understand why their dessert selections were mini indulgences instead of a full dessert entree. For this visit the table ordered crab and shrimp, stuffed mushrooms as well as their avocado toast for appetizers. Each appetizer was so very tasty but I was very impressed by the stuffed mushrooms. They were delicious. The other people in my party, ordered fish dishes, and I ordered the steak and lobster. We all throughly enjoyed our entrees. Everyone ordered one mini indulgence: oatmeal cookie cream, turtle cheesecake and the key lime pie. Those mini indulgences are so good I wish it was a full entree dessert. We will definitely put this restaurant on our date night rotation.

    I had a pretty disappointing experience here, especially considering the price point. I ordered one…read moreof the more expensive items on the menu (steak and lobster), and unfortunately found a hair in my food, which completely ruined the moment. To their credit, the staff did apologize and replaced the meal, and also offered a Caesar salad. However, the salad itself was not good and didn't really make up for the situation. The replacement entrée was fine--it tasted good--but by that point the experience was already affected. For a place like this, you expect a higher level of quality control and attention to detail. While they did try to fix the issue, finding something like that in your food is hard to overlook. Overall, just not the experience I expected for the price. Only good thing was my server he was excellent, I wish I could have remembered his name.

Most of the reviews are stating the vibe and the food is good. I'm not sure but even when I asked the staff after many failed attempts they were apologetic and couldn't really recommend much from the menu. The food wasn't palpable! For appetizers we got the bang bang salmon egg rolls that were drenched in bang bang sauce which made them too soft and over powered the egg rolls. For an entree, I first ordered the crab stuff shrimp. EPIC FAIL! The sauce had a tangy vinegar taste and was all over the dish and I had to send it back! The linguine was drenched in sauce and over cooked, with small pieces of seafood (it could have been imitation seafood for all we know). The red snapper was rubbery and the rice was not cooked with a touch of salt and fake Cajun coloring. I honestly blame the TikTokers and google reviews for misleading me, if you like good food do not go here for dinner!!!

The host said it was to celebrate the spring season since they did a apres ski theme during the winter. So festive. Okay so boom, we came here on a whim since we were going to a concert in the area later that evening. Surprisingly it wasn't busy for a Saturday which I expected it to be. Unfortunately though they had upcoming reservations so we weren't able to sit in the main room. We sat in their second dining room which was off to the side but still decorated. Our service was still good and the waiter was very attentive. For apps, we got the She Crab soup. I would've preferred for the crab meat to be sprinkled on top vs. in the soup but nonetheless it was still delicious. Super fresh!! Omg. I even contemplated on switching my entree to the stuffed grouper to get some more crab meat. I ended up getting the Shrimp scampi which was a great choice. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint with the shrimp. 6 jumbo pieces. Omg. The entree was done pretty well and it was just the right portion size. If we had more time, I would've ordered their toffee bread pudding or the honey crème brulee but that's all the more reason to come back. Oh and order the It was all a dream cocktail. It tastes like vanilla. Done to perfection.
