    The Diner is a popular breakfast, brunch, and lunch restaurant near Universal Studios. It is known…read morefor its New York style comfort food and creative breakfast and brunch dishes. It is a family owned restaurant founded by New York natives who noticed a gap in Central Florida for high quality, authentic New York style diner food. The original location opened on Universal Boulevard in the Lake Cay area, near Universal Orlando and SeaWorld. The restaurant quickly became popular with both locals and vacationers looking for an alternative to the standard hotel breakfast buffet. Following the success of the Universal Boulevard location, the owners expanded to additional Central Florida locations, including Lake Buena Vista and Dr. Phillips. The Diner has gained attention for its creative twists on classic comfort food. One of its signature dishes is the Bennyffle a combination of Eggs Benedict served over a waffle. The menu also features specialty cereal pancakes, including Fruity Pebbles and Oreo Crunch, along with classics such as chicken and waffles. In July 2026, the Universal Boulevard location even became the center of a viral national news story after a family of seven including children reportedly walked out on a $298.47 breakfast bill. The story highlighted how hard family businesses work and how an incident like this can affect them. I recently met up with a group of friends at The Diner for brunch. The Diner can get crowded, and they do not take reservations. I am grateful that one of my friends arrived very early to wait for a table for our group. The diner offers a selection of coffee drinks as well as alcoholic beverages, making it a festive spot for brunch. Since I had a long day ahead, I stuck with coffee and ordered the signature chicken and waffles. The combination was delicious. The crispy, savory fried chicken was the perfect partner to the soft, buttery waffles, while the warm, sweet maple syrup contrasted to the salty chicken. It was a very large portion and I really enjoyed my meal. The service was excellent, and the staff were very accommodating when we needed several separate checks. I loved my visit to The Diner, and the experience was made even better by sharing brunch with a great group of friends. Good food, friendly service, and even better company made for a memorable morning.

    (July 28) Where do…read moreyou go to meet up with a group of Yelpers who are all about food?! Well, that was my dilemma! After searching yelp for a breakfast/lunch place, The Diner seemed to hit the mark. They do not take reservations and your entire party must be present when your table is ready. I arrived early and put my name on the list so by the time everyone arrived, our table was ready! Heather was our server and she was amazing. She made our experience here easy & stress free. The 6 of us were able to chat, catch up, eat and drink in a timely manner. We were not rushed which is always a plus. I ordered the Belgium waffle with a scrambled egg & an ice mocha latte. Perfect amount of food for me. Ariel ordered the fried chicken and waffles which was huge. A few ordered the chicken Caesar wrap which looked very good. I would definitely go back the next time i am in town. *Prices are moderate *Plenty of parking in the lot ~ and that's all I have to say about that...

    What happened this morning Toasted Yolk? Arrived 8am - one of just four parties in restaurant…read more Service was wonderful as usual. The problem was the kitchen. The hollandaise on the eggs Benedict was practically invisible. I asked if they forgot to include it, was told it's just thinner this morning - I don't think there was any on eggs at all. Then I took a bite of the hash brown casserole - not room temp - but cold - like straight from the frig cold. I mentioned to server, and she returned like 30 seconds later with a steaming plate, obviously nuked. (Probably left over from yesterday). It had a weird taste and texture and taste. Well, that coffee was great! I'm a regular here, and this visit was just way off in terms of food quality.

    We came here before the bank opened to get us some energy and also get my wife's birthday donuts…read more We were right behind a group of 10 men our waitress came to us and apologized for a delay of approaching us and went to get our coffee and donuts and also took our breakfast order. A manager brought us the donuts as the waitress was getting orders for the big group. Thankfully the breakfast came out before the group and we were much appreciative of the waitress jumping up to the task. All was good and the food was enough for me to take a full biscuit and extra gravy home for the next morning with home cooked eggs
