This place was awesome, coolest diner I've been to in a while. Service was quick & my server (girl with the red hair) was super nice & attentive. Definitely going back again! read more

I've heard great things about this place, but I can't say I had a good experience. I understood that the wait for a seat would be a while (30 minutes) but when they started calling people that had arrived after us, I started getting frustrated. It turns out they skipped our name. Fine, things happen. About 45-50 minutes after we initially arrived, we finally get seated at the same time as two other parties. We knew what we wanted and ordered first, but our order was not given to the cooks until after everyone else's which made no sense. We should have been seated a while ago, so to then have our order actually put in after the other parties was really upsetting. My husband and I both ordered the ultimate breakfast sandwich which is under a section that says "served with hash browns, breakfast fries, country potatoes, or fruit and toast, biscuits and gravy or pancakes". This reads two sides but when we asked about it apparently the bread of the sandwich counts as a side? This is the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard. The waitress we had was very nice and understanding as she was apparently new and also didn't understand how this makes sense. On top of this, the sandwich just tasted like oil. Everything on it was so greasy that oil is all you taste. This was the absolute worst breakfast experience I've had at any diner in visalia and I will never return. read more

Always a bit of a wait here, but the food is delicious and taste like a home cooked meal. Considering how packed it gets the service is great! Cute little diner takes you back to the 50's. We love coming here! read more

Great little rock and roll diner! The food and service are great. Traditional American breakfast great quality and prices!

Heard great things about this restaurant so I went in too try it out, the food was great and my server was amazing but I couldn't help but notice my server being verbally yelled at by another server for nothing, she was being rude and abrasive for no reason the management or owner needs to do something about it no place for that kind of treatment at all!! read more

We didn't know to check in and she came off with a rude attitude telling us that if we thought we were special or something. She has the worst customer service ever! Will not be going back! read more

Dimples Diner - Bad attitude - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Visalia, California

This is a fun, old school diner sort of out of the way, near a bunch of auto garages and warehouses. The servers there are really nice and it's a cool, retro atmosphere. The food is your typical diner fare - pretty good, not mind-blowing, but not too expensive either. They do seem constantly short handed, and they take awhile to take your order, and then another while for it to actually come out. No big deal if you're not in a rush, but probably don't go on your 30 min lunch break. read more

Terrible food , never checked on us , don't waste your time & money . So sad used to be a nice breakfast place I used to enjoy . Today was my last visit . They don't care about customer service or what they serve you , it's obvious. Will not recommend to anyone. Zero star all across. read more

Great food, big portions, and great prices. Also, the customer service here is great! If you're looking for a cute place to grab a filling meal for a good price, I highly recommend this place. It is quite small inside, but trust me the food is worth it. I usually come for their breakfast omelettes which are always hardy and will keep you full for hours. I'll have to come later in the day and try their other menu items. read more

I went here for the first time with my family a few weeks ago and I was AMAZED !!! I have lived in Visalia for quite a few years now and always drive by the restaurant. Finally, we decided to go one morning and I am so glad we did. The portions were HUGE, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was so much fun. We will be going back 100% read more

So I've been here once before with a friend and I was excited to come with my boyfriend who's never been here before. My first experience from what I remember was good. We came in on a Thursday morning, waited about 20 minutes which is no problem, it's a popular, semi small place. We got seated in the booth right in front of the entrance but there was a seat that got available at the same time in the back and not so in the view of other people so we asked if we can sit there instead. I definitely regret it too. The first seat we got sent to seemed decent and clean; of course because it's the first seat you see when you come in. But we asked to sit at a back one in the corner. The walls and window seal had scum, dust and old food on it. The booth was dirty and full of crumbs in the crevices and directly on the seat, our table was wiped right before we sat and still soaked, we took napkins to wipe the extremely wet table and it smelled horrible. It's hard to enjoy your food, enjoy the ambiance and breakfast with your significant other when all you smell is dirty rag water, the smelled lingered our whole visit and feeling food crumbs on your butt. It makes you feel like how well do they really clean this place and the dishes you eat off of? The food took a while to come out on top of that. The waitress was nice and apologized for us waiting. The food was nothing special, I ordered a grilled cheese with bacon and peppers. My grilled cheese was made with Kraft singles which sucked lol I always love a grilled cheese with real cheese not the artificial crap. I'm super disappointed about the cleanliness of this visit, yes it's a cute little spot but I don't think we'll be coming back. read more

Dimples Diner - Hot chocolate and Mickey Mouse pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Visalia, California

This place is dirty looks like nothing has been dusted since it was hung on the wall. I heard great things about this place from friends and they must need there eyes checked because its so dirty in there, you cant even see out the windows full of finger prints to say the least. I pushed that aside since I had heard good things but once the food came out there was hair in the food so I left not planning on going back. read more

Darling dinning room... reasonably priced. I've had better omelets, it was over cooked but was edible. Potatoes were lovely and flavorful, not very crispy even thought I asked them to do so. Service was good, our waitress was very personable but a bit rushed. I had to ask twice for everything, thankfully the server remained cheerful. All in all not bad... I'll try it again and ask for a light omelet... read more

The only good thing about coming to work On a Saturday is grabbing dimples for breakfast since it's right down the street! Their biscuits and gravy is addicting! Fast and friendly service! read more

This place is so cute!! My husband and I were trying to find a place to eat for breakfast and we stumbled upon Dimples Diner. We were told there was a 15 minute wait but we got in much sooner than that (which was a relief because we were getting HANGRY!). The interior makes you feel like you really stepped into the 50's. The waitress was really friendly and nice. Food came out quick and hot, and it was DELICIOUS!! Their country potatoes are very good. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, just enough seasoning. I got the breakfast burrito with ham, and my husband got the eggs & bacon + pancakes meal. SO so good. Will definitely be recommending to our friends and family and will be back soon, for sure! read more

Perfect way to start your day! This diner brings you back to a happier time with old photographs and a kitchen they fresh cook in front of you. The chicken fried steak was very good. So good I had to go back twice! Loved the service and just a wonderful little diner in a beautiful little town. read more

Eggs were over cooked, bacon was served cold and pancakes were tough to cut. Not a place that I would recommend to others. read more

So I'm not from the area and I see the reviews and think okay I got to stop by and check this place out! If you don't have your GPS on you might drive by like I did and not see it, but just like I thought it's one of those hidden gems! The staff of Breanna, Lisa, Elia, and Jesse killed the breakfast rush! Food hot, coffee full and smiles all around. If you have not stop by you need to. Thanks In Advance for for next time! read more

Went to this location while on vacation. Cute little dinner where seating is right up next to the open face kitchen/grill area. My family came for breakfast and they were fast to seat us. We were able to watch them make our food too which was fun. I got the bacon,tomato, avocado and cheese omelet which included hash browns and a bread side (I chose biscuits with gravy). Food was delicious, bacon, tomato, and cheese were not skimpy. Avocado was not the ripest and on the smaller side but it sufficed. The inside of the business has a whole bunch of toys and some older memorabilia stuff I guess to make it seem like a 50s/60s diner.... mostly just made my kid want to play with it all haha. I'd go here again if I were ever back in the area. read more

I'll keep it short and simple. This place has one of the best chicken fried steaks in the California San Joaquin Valley, and I should know because I've tried hundreds. read more

I wanted to like Dimples more, but unfortunately my food was very average. I almost didn't get to try it at all because the line was out the door when we went for brunch on Sunday. But luckily we were seated quickly; in general the service here seems to move rather swiftly. I ordered the chicken tenders & fries (one of my all-time favorite things to eat) but I found both to be very bland. The chicken fingers had too much breading on them & not enough meat. The fries were nothing special (not crispy & lacking salt). My mom ordered the mushroom swiss burger and said it was very good (cooked well, as she requested). My grandma seemed to enjoy her omelet very much. I think next time we go here I will have to try breakfast (seems like a safe bet). I also want to note that our waitress was very nice and attentive. I will definitely give Dimples another try the next time I am in Visalia. read more

Friendly waiter & delicous food but they need MAJOR deep cleaning, the walls are dirty with food stains and the windows have dust and the blinds from the windows are filthy (imagine how the kitchen looks) read more

Super good food and nice environment. Service was really good and they were all attentive

I was so excited to try this place because the reviews were overall good about the food but omg as soon as I walked in the dirtiest restaurant I have ever stepped foot in. Imagine just walking in and seeing how dirty it is i don't even want to imagine how the kitchen is. read more

Loving the feel of the simplicity of life, the old local breakfast spot that has so much history and respect amongst it's regulars and new customers alike. The food still hasn't changed, "and I meant that in a good way!" It's the local diner you crave when you think of fresh delicious food made right in front of you! I got the corned beef and hash meal with scrambled eggs, hash browns and a side of gravy! Don't miss out on the gravy! The only few quarrels I had was "they don't have a designated delivery service, nor any form of delivery" but of course that's not their fault. 2nd, if you're someone who hopes the crew is wearing facemasks or that social distancing is being put into affect, you should probably avoid this spot. As I'm writing this, things might have changed, but my visit was only two weeks ago. They had everyone crammed on one side of the diner, of course it's because they only had one waitress "who was so sweet", and one cook "very nice guy and good at what he does!", So it made sense but wouldn't sit well with face mask inclined people. Oh unfortunately they too weren't wearing any proper gear so again, if you don't want to bother with an establishment who isn't following "new business standards" then unfortunately this place is a pass. But if you're daring, hungry and crave the best breakfast from Visalia this is the spot! read more

Awesome spot for bfast or lunch, yummy coffee and cute decor inside. They even have the bar seating like very good diner should.

This Restaurant is ok. Food is hot but lacks flavor and that is all items . Not the first time I have been there and have tried multiple items. If you want to dine in but don't care about the taste .....hot food served here. read more

I was looking forward to this place. I can take the uncleanliness to a point. This was borderline and I looked past it. I live about an hour away so I'm not a local. If I was...Probably a different review. I was in front of 3 other groups and seated 5-10 mins before them. I'm a good tipper, a social person but I observe who is a local and they know as well. I ordered a standard burger and a fry. Nothing fancy. Simple. Waitress was nice but they put all the regulars First including the customer service. I get it though. I'm not from there. So the burger was burnt like the bottom of my shoe well done, fries were soggy, and had a flat soda. Oh btw...by the time I got my food. The 3 other separate groups (10 people total) were paying for their check and finished their food. My wife noticed they received their food 30-40 mins before us. We sat down 5-10 mins before 3 of those groups. I guess if I was a local, it would had been different. The good reviews are probably from locals. I don't plan on moving there so I won't be back for a long long long time. This is the only tip I will leave. read more
