BLT, cucumber and tomato salad. And pork rinds. All pretty good.
Debbie G.

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 :)

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

Breakfast menu - served all day

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.

Yummy lunch! In Elberta geocaching, I Yelped a lunch place and found Dan's. We were not disappointed! I ordered a reuben with broccoli salad, and my friend ordered a burger with homemade pork rinds. If I had one suggestion, it would be to toast the bread on the reuben. Otherwise, excellent!

The 50s/coke theme

Service was amazing, no wait, sit where you want , then order at counter I got the grilled chicken club, the chicken was a little tough, but it was a great meal. I finished the whole plate! The homemade "chips" are fantastic and the 50s/coke theme is wonderful looking. My partner got a double cheese burger with bacon, he loved with as well. Both left with empty plates and full bellies! 10/10 would recommend for brunch

Dan's Diner is truly one of a kind! This small, family-owned business provides such a wonderful experience. The service was incredible, and the people were so friendly and kind--it was truly a joy to eat there! The food was delicious, and you can really taste the quality. I had the chocolate chip pancakes, and they were absolutely perfect. If you're looking for a warm, welcoming atmosphere with great food, do yourself a favor and stop by Dan's Diner!

Lambert's Cafe - Fried okra - "Pass Arounds"

The rolls.... We heard about the rolls that were thrown at you and had to experience for ourselves…read more We were NOT disappointed! We had an absolute blast here. We had to wait about 15mins for a table which was fine bc it was dinner time and it's a popular spot. We sat down and it wasn't 2 mins when the Famous rolls came out. The young man who threw them was super nice and I swear he should be in the MLB, he's got an arm on him I tell ya. Honey caught his roll with no issues. I caught mine straight in the chest and it exploded. It looked a little worse for the wear but BOY WAS IT GOOD!!!! Our server was super friendly and got everything out to us quickly. There were various servers with fried okra, macaroni and tomato's, black eyed peas, and other amazing sides. My only complaint was that they wouldn't serve me from the kids menu. I had a medical procedure that doesn't allow for me to eat much and the server said she wasn't allowed to serve me from that menu. Aside from that, everything else was amazing and we had a blast. We loved it!!!

Yeah, I know it's a tourist trap, but haven't been there in O'15 years or more. Was down here by…read moremy self, so why not? Louis was server, and extremely friendly and attentive. Place is buzzing but he was right on point. Food.... Ok, I've paid more for less. Food not the of the quality I remembered. But, what hasn't changed in 15+ years. If I remember the chicken fried steak back then was hand breaded. They're now converted to the Sysco style commercial available item. Not different than what you'd buy at Sam's. Whipped potatoes were definitely instant. The rolls were hot and fresh and as advertised served in a unique fashion. The "pass around" they bring to the table add to the uniqueness of eating there. Kind of a Cracker Barrel vibe with similar to slightly better food. Definitely a lot more going on in the dining room than Cracker Barrel. Tourist Trap, Definitely. Tourist Trap worth the experience? Yes. Not a place I'd eat every time I'm down here, but there are lots of places with worse food which you'll pay a lot more for. A place you should try at least once. If not nothing else to improve your baseball or softball catching techniques.
