Dan's Diner - Dinner Burger & French Dip - Diners Near Me - Summerdale, Alabama

New to the area and having scoped out a few spots we opted to try out Dan's for a late B-fast early lunch option in Silverhill. We had driven by Dan's in the past .. with the high reviews we wanted to put them on our bucket list. First things first, hours are bit unusual 10-3 but hey why not. We landed around 10:30 and the place was pretty quiet .. just another couple seated. First impressions were good, nice clean spot, 50's theme with like kind music. You order from the front register so we went about picking from their menu. A couple of things, one I noticed the cook was preparing off a couple gas like hot plates vs a griddle, a small concern initially. I opted for the Dinner B-fast eggs, hash browns pattie sausage and raisin toast. My partner went lunch focus with a Dinner burger & fries. The wait was short and our food arrived hot and ready to eat ! Here's the breakdown: Diner B-fast - a bit underwhelming to say the least. Eggs were cooked OK, the hashbrowns were a bit soggy and really greasy sad to say. The pattie sausage was thin and so salty it was hard to eat. The raisin toast was hard, dry and really crunchy. All in all - one of the less digestable b-fast plates since landing here 6 weeks ago. Diner Burger - our order taker missed the cheese we asked for so we ended up with a reg burger vs the cheese burger. The sandwich was good but came with a handful of seasoned fries which were OK but honestly hold the seasoning and just give the real deal. I must say our hopes and expectations were high based on past reviews and comments. Unfortunately this one crashed and burned. Now off the list - not a repeat for us sad to say. read more

We stopped on our way to Mobile from Gulf Shores and what a cute surprise in Summerdale, AL! Tucked away in a cute area, we had an awesome breakfast experience! Great corned beef hash and grits... pancake was a winner too! Loved the atmosphere was like a little diner. Loved all of it!! Will go again. Thank Dan! read more

I would give less than one star if that were an option. I watched a dark haired girl with glasses eating French fries with her black latex gloves on. She then proceeded to itch her nose and go back to preparing food. She then rang someone up with her gloves on, and began preparing food again. She adjusted her glasses and touched her face. It's really disappointing to know the standards of food safety and sanitation and see numerous violations occurring by the same employee. She also cut chicken, and prepared a wrap with NO GLOVES. The staff should be properly trained on not touching their face, and safely preparing food. Multiple employees eating food with gloves on and preparing food, zero handwashing, and not once did any employee change their Absolutely disgusting! read more

Such a cute diner! I love the retro decor. Fun to see restaurants like this still around. Super friendly service and staff. I had the BLT with tomato and cucumber salad. I also had to try the pork rinds. All the food was really good. For the BLT, I just wish they used iceberg lettuce ( instead of leaf or romaine lettuce ). But the sandwich had plenty of bacon and the melted cheese was tasty. My mom in law said the chicken wrap was yummy. I'd like to go back and try their breakfast. Also, get a shake! You should check out this place :) read more

Dan's Diner - BLT, cucumber and tomato salad. And pork rinds. All pretty good. - Diners Near Me - Summerdale, Alabama

Very good food. Rueben and Santa Fe chicken wrap. Both were good. Service was prompt. Loved the themed cafe. Takes me back to a simpler time. Love the 50,60,70's. We were in the area checking family history. They produced a great history of Summerdale and the area. Found name of uncles in graduating class names. 1928 & 1930. Thank you Dan's read more

Dan's Diner - Juke box. - Diners Near Me - Summerdale, Alabama

I always love a diner. I think of many that I have been to that have 30 page menus and massive numbers of tables. That is not what this is. Very quaint, in a very quaint town on your way to the beach. It definitely has the diner atmosphere going on, with a 1950's ish theme. I ordered the D3 Patty Melt and a side of PORK RINDS. That is very unusual. They also have chips as a side. When I asked if they were made in house, I was told they are out of a bag. At least they are Zapp's, which is a high quality chip. I noticed that on the BLT you can get a pimento cheese added for $2. I asked if I could have that ad another side and they were out on the day I visited First of all, the pork rinds were still crackling when they arrived at the table!! Really good, hot and fresh. The Patty Melt was also really good. Not too greasy with onions, bacon, pepper jack and cheddar cheese and a special sauce. They have Coke products in the bottle, so no free refills. Good sweet tea and lemonade. You order at the counter and they have lots of ice cream options, including floats, malts, shakes, splits and ice cream in waffle or cake cones. I will definitely come again. read more
