The Downtown Diner is in the heart of Celebration and offers a pleasant staff offering friendly service. It has a pleasant enough ambiance and i enjoyed grabbing breakfast here and then walking around this part of Celebration. Celebration has certainly grown and this is a cool place to head if you are in the area. read more

Took my family here because coming from up north where diners are part of life they were looking forward to trying this diner. I ordered the 3 eggs, meat, and 1 side. First off the toast is a side item and is not part of the meal. Also you get only 1piece of toast. This is the first place toast does not come with an egg meal and you have to use you side to get toast. And really only 1 piece of toast too. One of my family members ordered the Reuben. The meat was very fatty and when they picked up the sandwich ton of grease started to come out of the sandwich. Their hands were so grease afterwards, The service was not that great the food came out and soon as they food was delivered the waitress stop by to make sure everything came out and never saw here again until I flag her down to get the check. Will not be back here again. read more

We were in the area and looking for something vegan for breakfast. A few places have an item or two, but this place had the most interesting options. It's located in downtown celebration, which is cute. But I found parking to be interesting. It's unclear to a newbie where to park or if there's a fee in the town (there are some areas for visitors to apartments, and a few that note there is a decal required). But we managed to find some on street parking. Anyway, the place is cute. And the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. We were seated and the waitress took our order pretty soon after - and the food came out very quickly. The just egg with the hash and an impossible patty was really good. It was worth a visit. read more

Who doesn't love a retro diner? In the middle of Celebration ? I mean COME ON ! Amazing ! The aesthetic here is 1950s/1980's infused together which is really cool.

Downtown Diner - Patty Melt and Cheese Steak Dutch Baby. - Diners Near Me - Celebration, Florida

Classic diner in downtown Celebration with great vintage décor and lots of Disney memorabilia that really add to the atmosphere. I tried the classic burger, the beef was fresh and flavorful, but the single patty was on the small side. They do offer double and triple patties, so now I know to size up next time. The service wasn't especially fast or attentive, but it was decent. Overall, it's a fun spot with plenty of character, and I'd definitely go back. read more

Downtown Diner - Classic hamburger - Diners Near Me - Celebration, Florida

Ironically, when we first stopped in for dinner, we ended up leaving because the menu seemed to have too many fried options for what we were looking for. I'm actually glad we gave it another chance because we came back for breakfast, and I think that was definitely the right choice. Our table ordered the apples and sausage breakfast (which was a big hit), the South of the Border breakfast with four sausages, and the avocado toast. We also enjoyed plenty of coffee, and everyone was happy with their meal. Marcus was a friendly waiter, although I did have to flag down another employee once to get a coffee refill. Other than that, the service was good. The diner has lots of old photographs decorating the walls, which gives it a nostalgic feel. I've always had a soft spot for classic diners, so I'm glad we made our way back and got to enjoy breakfast here while we were in town. I think next time I would like to sit at the counter- that always makes me feel nostalgic! read more

If you are coming here when it is busy, like a weekend morning, be prepared to wait to be seated and to wait on your food. The wait will be well worth it. On this visit I sat at the counter and watched all the wonderful food come out of the kitchen. I was drooling the whole time, especially after I saw a side of bacon, the shrimp and grits, the bowls and really everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious. Ordered a patty melt and make your own skillet, with a folded egg and they got the egg perfect. The patty melt was perfect and loved the tots which were on the side. I feel on this visit they were not on their A game and still the food definitely made up for the wait. There is a reason why they are so busy, great portions, reasonable prices... and absolutely great tasting food. read more

We visited the Downtown Diner for breakfast during the week. Located in the Celebration area, we chose to sit outside because it was a beautiful day and I had my small dog with me. We were seated right away, which was a nice touch. The restaurant had a quaint atmosphere, and I particularly enjoyed the diner-style seating. The decor was a fun throwback. The food was very good, and they offer a great menu at reasonable prices. Their excellent customer service made our experience even better. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area. read more

Stopped in Sunday morning, was pretty busy. Sat right away. Had a miscommunication with the server and host so we sat for awhile lol all good, once we put in our order drinks and food were out in like 5-10 mins. Very fast, I had the biscuits n gravy platter. Comes with two eggs, breakfast meat(I got ham steak). The bowl of biscuits (like 3-4) was a huge portion. Coulda used a slight more gravy but very good overall. The eggs were cooked perfect and the ham steak was really good! Still lots of more options to try so I'll be back soon. read more

While in Orlando, we made a stop through Celebration and checked out Downtown Diner after seeing the buzz on TikTok. This spot delivers that classic diner feel with a menu packed with comfort food that hits every craving. I went all in on the Breakfast Club and it did not disappoint. Toasted challah bread layered with bacon aioli, American cheese, fried eggs, sausage patties, grilled ham, and crispy bacon. Every bite was rich, savory, and perfectly stacked. I already love a traditional club, but this breakfast version takes it to another level. It is the kind of sandwich you start thinking about again before you even finish it. We also tried the Biscuit Gravy Platter with two biscuits smothered in gravy, served with eggs and sausage patties. Warm, hearty, and exactly what you want when you are in the mood for true comfort food. This was one of those stops that turns into a must return spot real quick. read more

We went to brunch at Celebrations Town Diner. I was looking forward to it because my granddaughters said it had good food. I WAS NOT IMPRESSED! To begin with, the hostess seated us one table from the end and it took forever to be waited on. There were other tables available. There was a man seated after us and the hostess came by and asked him if a waiter had seen him. He said yes. She looked at me, I smiled, but she turned around and went back into the diner. I finally stopped a waitress and asked her (Vanessa) how we can get someone to wait on us. She said "nobody has been here yet?" She said we were sitting in an overflow area, but said she would wait on us. Vanessa was very friendly and helped us with a smile. She checked on all her tables and always had a smile. I would recommend that the Diner get a hostess that likes people. I got the impression this hostess did not. We asked for the patio because it was a beautiful day and the view was great. The hostess never smiled and I felt like we were a burden to her. The food was OK. I ordered the apple and cinnamon glaze Dutch Baby. It was something I'd never had before. It was terrible, hardly any apples, just a big bowl-shaped dough with not much in it. I asked Vanessa if I could get more apples and she brought out a dish of apples and whipped cream with more of the glaze. She was awesome. My granddaughters had regular breakfasts and they said theirs were very good. Because of the unpleasant hostess, I would never go back.Also because of this hostess and the Dutch Baby not having much in it, I am only giving a 3-Star rating. read more

Food was delicious at this downtown diner. We had a Dutch baby which isn't something you can find everywhere. I liked the 80's and 90's decor and some wrestling decor as well. They also had miniature arcade games for the kids and the kids at heart like me. read more

Such a cute addition to Celebration. I love the old school diner feel with the counter and the decor. Speaking of decor, I visited during December when the whole restaurant was taken over by The Grinch, and it was adorable. We stopped in for dinner after experiencing the "snow" in the downtown area. For a table of 2 while it was pretty busy, we were seated right away. The service was quick. The sodas were massive. Fried green beans and Buffalo chicken dip was to start. I really liked the fried green beans and the dipping sauce. For entrees, we ordered the Steakhouse Salad and a Cheeseburger. The salad was fresh. However, the steak was overcooked. It was well. But like really well. Everything else tasted great, and I especially liked the croutons. The burger got good praises. read more

Decided to eat brunch while we visited celebration town. We got seated outside which was nice because there was a breeze and we also went on 4th of july so we saw them preparing for the event later that night. They were busy. We ordered the patty melt with tater tots and steak bowl. Def was not expecting the steak to be chopped up and not sure what type it is but I did not like it. My bf liked his patty melt though. read more

Downtown Diner - Diners Near Me - Celebration, Florida

I just watched the guy in the outside of the kitchen who is putting prepared plates with the correct orders and then calling for a runner to take them to the table. He has had gloves on both hands for the most part. Touching both tickets and food. He has literally taken food off one plate and put on another with the glove but is touching all the tickets with the same hand. And has touched his nose/face multiple times. Occasionally they take one hand out of a glove and use it to touch tickets. But this guy must forget or not care. But touching a ticket and then grabbing food - even hand fulls of eggs to place in someone else's plate seems unsanitary. I think he may be trying to even out the eggs - . The waiter at the bar was amazing - just wish I had not watched this guy at handle the food. read more

I've always loved and adored diners. This one absolutely was just as incredible as I had hoped. The food I got was delicious and despite the restaurant being packed, I didn't have to wait long for my food. The house made chips were also pure perfection. If you love diner vibes, this place is the perfect spot for you. I absolutely want to come back and give their breakfast foods a try. read more

So it's been quite awhile since I've been to Downtown Diner. This is my first time eating breakfast, usually I would come for lunch. I am on the fence about coming back, as I was not impressed with the experience this time around. We tried WORLD FAMOUS DUTCH BABIES. It was like trying an interesting omelet with berries and whip cream. We did order the A.M. Sandwich with home fries. That was tasteful. The service was not bad. They sat us down pretty quick. However, I think the experience was not as desirable, as it appears that the back section where they sat us, the A/C was out, during a day when the weather was 94 degrees outside. Additionally, I felt the floor was sticky. The ambiance is designed a like a small town diner. I gave the place lower stars based on my experience this time around. read more

I've seen this spot appear to open and close a few times since the pandemic era... and it's been a favorite of mine each time! The vibe in here is the perfect cozy, classic diner feel, and they have plenty of options at an affordable price point. They serve all day breakfast, so naturally I went with a classic breakfast spread with a chocolate chip pancake on the side! The meal was what you want out of a diner breakfast - a good variety of options, good portions, and a solid pancake. I enjoyed my meal and so did the rest of my party! They also had a good amount of allergy friendly options for our gluten free friend. Service was friendly and we weren't rushed. I love this location and the food here! read more

This was our third time here and I decided to write a review... the food? Pretty good. Diner quality, for sure with huge portions. The decor, a lot of fun. I'm an 80s baby/90s kid, and love the fun collectibles from that era scattered around. What I DID NOT love... is the cleanliness. Everything is GROSS. It's sticky, it's crumby, the floors are dirty, and the bathroom (can only speak for the women's) is rancid. Ceiling fans kept dripping condensation into our food while we sat and ate, the ceilings are also gross, so that was nasty. If the place were clean, 5 stars all the way. But this was my third time here (my kids love it, they don't care if it's clean), so I'm 99% sure it wasn't just a fluke it was gross, I think it's like that all the time. Yelp asked if I would recommend it... and I put "maybe". Food is good, staff is friendly, but I'd be embarrassed recommending somewhere so dirty without warning people first. read more

Really great diner! If you're in the area and looking for a place to eat, Downtown Diner is a must try. I recommend the Monte Cristo sandwich ($15) and the Celebration Club sandwich ($15). Both were extremely delicious and very filling. The atmosphere of this diner is very friendly and relaxed. Indoor seating as well as dog friendly seating options are available. We loved their outdoor, COVERED patio. Service was great (Graelynn, you ROCK! - and so sorry if I misspelled your name) and food came out in a timely manner. After you eat, take a nice walk around on the trail located right across the street from the diner. The scenery in this town is beautiful. read more

Server was friendly and nice. Maybe we ordered the wrong things but it was bland and underwhelming. My husband had the south of the boarder skillet. No real salsa. Four small bites of tough steak. I had the impossible skillet. Very Bland. So disappointed as we live close and wanted to find a great breakfast place without going to Disney. read more

Edit 2: Oh and FYI the owner is lying. Below is a screenshot from HIS WEBSITE proving the pizza was previously a flatbread. Photo aligns with memory as well. Shameful and confirms the nickel and dime business strategy I observed. Edit: Perplexing response from the owner. Essentially dismissed all of my criticisms while confirming the fries changed, the pizza is a tortilla, that my party was given rude treatment for sending the tortilla back, and ignored the pricing comment. Business 101 for you - cheaper to get return business than to win new business. Scolding your customers sharing valid criticisms in the comments is a dumb way to operate. Might as well just buy more curly fries - you'll see margin compression when you have to do more promos after people stop returning. Oh and for what it's worth. Yes a thick burger is an issue when it's a smash burger. As others have noted this place has gone down hill recently. They used to have wonderful Cajun curly fries, now replaced with thick bland cut pub fries. Breakfast pizza used to be on a flatbread. Instead was an uncut tortilla - like an open faced burrito. Burger was thicker, messier and less cleanly constructed. We used to be big fans of the bottomless mimosa deal (albeit in the evening). However it is not marked with a price so the owner silently changes it - our waiter said he was embarrassed when someone noted it was a cheaper option than the mimosa flight (which is offered all day as opposed to a special so not unusual to mildly cannibalize another menu item during promo hours). Service was mediocre to poor. Visibly shook their heads at us when we pushed back on the tortilla as an unacceptable change to the pizza. Don't think we'll be back unless they stop with the cheap cutbacks. read more

Okay, so this is a tough one but I've just about had it with this diner. Had been going every Sunday for the past couple months after dropping dad off at church. Rounded up from two because it's not a chain, the 80's theming is fun and the service while sometimes spotty is always friendly. The food is just not diner quality. The waffles and pancakes for the price are so disappointing. To be specific, they are dry in consistency, bland in flavor. Today I was struggling to find something on the menu that I wanted. My go-to order at fast food places is a simple sausage patty on a biscuit. I asked if that was possible and the server gave me a strange look. I was like, I see you serve them with gravy, why can't I just get one without gravy and you charge me less? He talked to the kitchen and then the kitchen expo, then came back and was like no. Weird, right? I mean, can't you just charge me for a biscuit, and one sausage patty?? The location is great, and there is a tragic lack of diners in this area, but unfortunately, not only is the food disappointing and overpriced, they won't even try to accommodate very simple off the menu requests. Such wasted potential. I won't be back and I do not recommend. read more

Sat outside as it was too cold inside. Service took over 5 min just to stop at my table and take my order. Not sure if they didn't have enough staff or what. Food was just ok. Had to flag down the hostess to get the check. Probably won't be back. read more

Fun diner that takes you back to the 60ies. Really like the look and style of it! Friendly customer service and very attentive server. It's in a beautiful area called celebration with a lake, a window seat or outdoor seat will give you a nice little view of it. I was asked if I want more coffee and how I am doing a few times, always with a smile. Great atmosphere for a casual but fun breakfast/brunch/lunch. They have a great menu that covers pretty much everything for everyone, including gluten and dairy free options. They also have almond milk for coffee. Food was ok, the egg omelette seemed a little on the soft side, but the vegetables, potatoes and toast were tasty. Coffee was good. I would definitely stop by again and try out some other items from the menu. read more

Service was excellent, I was traveling with a couple of my vegan friends and they were able to go above and beyond for them. They had a breakfast sampler with "Just Egg" and Impossible burger patties. I had the BBQ roll which had perfect portions of beef to fried onions and a side of their delightfully vinegary potato salad and a shareable fried pickles!! Soooooo salty and good!!

I was so excited about this menu because of all the gluten free options! However, I had their omelet with gluten free home fries and the home fries were both cold and hard as a rock.

The diner itself is clean and cutely decorated with nostaligic toys, but we were very disappointed in the food. I ordered a breakfast pizza, a favorite of mine. The menu said it was made on a flatbread. It came and it was on a tortilla. There was no way to pick it up and eat it like a pizza or even cut it up and eat with a fork. I had to scrape all of the toppings off, bite some tortilla then fork some toppings. Basically, it was an open-faced burrito. Gravy was served on the side and was only about three tablespoons worth. It didn't go far. Usually the gravy serves as the base sauce for the breakfast pizza. Just as well they didn't serve it that way though since they used a tortilla as it would have been even harder to eat. The other two people with me are both fans of reubens and that's what they each ordered. The worst they had ever had. Reubens are a sandwich with the meat, sauerkraut, 1000 island dressing, and served on rye bread. The reubens here had the meat but only a sprinkle of sauerkraut, no dressing, and was not served on rye. Will not be returning. read more
