Daybreak Diner is a no-frills, slightly out-of-date breakfast and lunch diner in Seminole, TX.
This place is easy to miss because it's in the same building as another business called CYA Trucking Insurance.
There was ample parking in a gravel lot.
I popped in on August 18, 2026 hoping for breakfast, but it cut off at 11 so I missed it.
Service was warm and friendly, but I didn't like how one of the helpers neglected to clean up the dirty dish water that she contributed to spilling on the floor from their cart. She saw it. I saw her see it. Lol. If you ignore a problem, it suddenly doesn't become yours anymore I guess. Must be nice to be so... okay, I'll stop.
I requested the $10 daily special (small burger with fries and drink), but my waitress charged me for something else. I wasn't mad about it, but the food was definitely overpriced. My food came out under 10 minutes.
I had a thin 1/4 lb. patty cheddar cheeseburger with very flavorless chopped jalapenos and all the fixings with homemade fries ($14 + $.54 for the cheese and $.54 for the jalapenos) that at first tasted like they had been dunked in old oil then got better plus a plain black coffee ($2.07). That set me back a whopping $19.10.
The burger reminded me of one that I used to get often with friends at a cafe that has since closed down. It was delicious and probably a million calories, but Jeff Lynne sang "Don't Bring Me Down" and so should you.
