Downtown Diner - Went past Sunday to Downtown Diner for breakfast and it was delicious! Coming back this Saturday. - Diners Near Me - Celebration, Florida

Love the atmosphere! Would have loved to eat outside, there were tables but not cleared. It was fine inside. Had quite the variety on their menu. I chose the breakfast platter, sausage and French toast was great! My eggs however were not. I ordered them medium and my husband also ordered his medium. His were more slimy then mine. Bottom line thought it was a little pricey for what we got. We have gone there for years. It's had a lot of changing hands. I would just probably order differently next time. Service was great. Friendly! read more

Having eaten at the diner before its renovations and rebranding, I found the new space, hours, and menu to be a letdown. It's no longer hopping in the evenings, as it closes at 2PM every day and only serves breakfast & lunch. The cute retro feel has been replaced by cool tones and an attempt at a more modern aesthetic. I was excited to give their skillets a shot since it's not my usual breakfast order, but their "skillets" are plastic plates in the shape of a pan. It does not arrive hot or make a difference in the quality. Additionally, none of the ingredients were integrated well. The corned beef was chopped and added in chunks that stuck together, the avocado wasn't fully peeled, and everything else was chewy or undercooked (especially the potatoes). Since everyone else at the table had a very similar experience, it's clear these aren't what to try on the menu. Hopefully everything else is an upgrade and worth the prices! The service is also a hit or miss, and unfortunately our group had a subpar experience. It took a long time to get our drinks, our server was very repetitive and would stay at our table for 5-10 minutes at a time, and when we asked for the check, that also took twenty minutes. It was two hours of waiting for cold breakfast skillets when there were only four other tables seated. Sometimes there are circumstances out of a business's control, but communication would have made a great difference! To all their own, but I won't be returning to this location in the future. read more

I really enjoyed my meal and definitely will return, however I wish they had a more fluffy buttermilk pancake because I'm not a fan of the cornmeal texture. Other than that all was well. The service was good the restaurant was clean and the portions were large. read more

I really only try to leave reviews for places I recommend, but sadly I feel obliged to leave this review. The food was great. However, I had quite the unfortunate interaction with the owner, Adrian. I have to say I have never met someone so rude in the service industry. He may be the absolute worst food business owner I have ever come across. Our first interaction was when he bolted out to my table outside, got in my face and demanded me to stop feeding my pug little pieces of ham i tore off from my croissant sandwich, and to put him on the ground. And then backed up and stood and stared at me to make sure I wasn't doing it. The statement was "it needs to be on the ground, and You can't do that" as my dog was eating a pencil-eraser sized piece of ham from my fingers. I asked to speak with him after I had paid to see if someone had complained or what the issue was . He comes back to the table after I pay, bends over and gets right in my face once again, very aggressively. I asked him if someone complains, he says no, no one complained, and then goes on this rant about health code violations with dogs at restaurants. I take my pug literally everywhere with me when I am able to eat outside and have never had such a horrible experience with a food business. When I try to have a civil conversation with him, he stands up, looks at me in the eyes, and aggressively says "I'm not going to continue listening to you", turns around and walks back inside. I was mid-sentence. He would not let me say one complete thought without him speaking over me in an elevated voice. I felt uncomfortable as people around could definitely see and hear him raising his voice at me and my wife. I have never ever in my entire life met someone in the customer service industry That is so rude. His response to anything I was saying was that he worked hard for his business so I guess that gave him an excuse to be rude.? I'm still just mind blown that somebody with a personality like this can own a customer facing establishment. It's really sad. He did not care about customer satisfaction. He did not care about being polite. He was entitled. He was rude. He was aggressive, and it is such a shame that a place with so much potential has such a rude, arrogant, entitled owner. I pray that this restaurant changes ownership soon and the current owner can find a buyer who actually cares about their customers so that I can come back, but until Adrian is out of the business, I cannot give my money to a place with such a rude owner. Also, I am very interested in what his response will be to this, as I cannot wait to see the lies that he puts on his response, if he puts one, because he knows he was in the wrong, l but I think he is too arrogant to even admit that because he couldn't even have a civil conversation with a customer. I have been here multiple times with my dog and never had any issue. All the waiters waitresses and host staff love it. I also want to note that of the multiple times I've been here not once ever has any employee mentioned that the dog needs to be on the floor and that he could not be in my lap that has never been mentioned to me until this owner's response. One more thing to note is after the final interaction after Adrian walked off on me mid-conversation, I asked 3 different employees if they have had interactions with the owner and what those interactions were like, and all the responses I received were negative this paints a pretty clear picture for me. If you want to support a local business, go next door to the tavern, where the customers are appreciated!! read more

I just wanna say we come here all the time, it's close to us and it's great. Today wasn't that experience so we get there around 1:05ish, 0 wait time which is great. We get our server he gets our drink order which is a coke and a coke float, at the time we aren't ready, so we then become ready and we wait atleast 5 or 6 minute for the Float and another 10 minutes for the server to come back only to tell us he isn't our server anymore (1:20 pm) and someone else is. That was it. 5 minutes pass by and I flag down one of the hostess' and say hey I'm sorry our server said he wasn't our server anymore and that someone else was, her response is "I'm looking for her", 5 more minutes pass by and at this point it's 1:30, we figured we could order eat and get out quick as we usually do on my other lunch breaks but not the case today. Even if the server comes now we have to order it would take about 10-15 minutes for food and at that point we would have to go. So I get the same hostess and said hey, is it possible we can just pay for these drinks so we can go? And she's like you don't want your server anymore? I say no we wouldn't have time to eat so just wanted to pay so we can go. She walks away, not even a minute later another person, who isn't dressed as the hostess or as the server, which I'm assuming is a manager, comes and puts down the check without saying anything waiting for me to pay, so I give her my card and she storms off. The new server then comes over and apologizes and says what can I get you and I let her know I had just paid, she's like "oh okay I don't even know what I'm doing and walks off" the person who took my card and the check comes back and puts my check down and is about to walk off when I ask her for a cup atleast because I had barely touched this big cup of coke and just walks off comes back and puts a cup down and walks off. I'm just caught off guard with this experience because we love to come here and I have a restaurant background, I mean at least hey I'm sorry you had this experience or some explanation but it felt more like we were a bother to the manager(I think her name was Kathleen, that was the name on the reciept) and it just made no sense. I'm not talking bad of the restaurant because we love coming here but it was just the most uncomfortable experience that me and my wife have ever been in at this place. It just sucks because we love coming here and come at-least a handful of times a month. I know how important customer service is to any business I guess today just wasn't the day. read more

Used to come to this restaurant long time ago and it clearly has gone significantly down hill. Restrooms are nasty. Food was mediocre at best read more

First time in Celebration, FL and stopped to grab a late breakfast at this place. Our greeter, in the yellow hostess shirt, was less than enthusiastic about helping us get a table. She asked for my number and evidentially after entering it wrong in her system, she proceeds to tell me I gave her a non-working number after seeming frustrated. That was how we started our experience. Our wait was approximately 30 minutes so we decided to go for a walk. Upon returning, we stood by the front door waiting to get our text. The yellow shirted hostesses saw us standing in the doorway but none of them guided us to what we later learned was two waiting area tables that were empty. It wasn't until the lady behind the counter asked us to move from the bar area since we were obstructing the flow of traffic into the restaurant and asked us to sit at the waiting tables. When we were seated, our waitress was friendly and quick to take our order. The food did not meet the expectations except for the avocado toast which was fantastic! It came with everything bagel seasoning, the avocado was fresh and served with a side of lemon zest. The over easy eggs were too runny for my taste. One of the dishes ordered was a breakfast platter that came with French toast - that we asked to substitute for a biscuit but were told it was not possible. I would give this plate a 0 rating had it not been for their bacon. The eggs were powder eggs, the tater tots were stale and the sausage was cold and rubbery. The restaurant was busy but not too loud which was nice. We sat indoors but it had a wrap around outdoor area. I would not come back to visit this place but will definitely try the Mexican restaurant down the street. I wish the experience had been better. read more

Visiting the area and did not want to eat breakfast at a local chain like Perkins or Waffle House. Found this place in beautiful downtown Celebration and the food was fantastic! Great table on their patio overlooking the lake. I had the western omelette which was perfect and thoroughly enjoyed the tater tots on the side. However the star was the Apple Dutch Baby pancake. My wife and I shared it and we still had leftovers...it was big! Very buttery, cinnamon, big slices of fried apples. Just incredible! Highly recommend this place! read more

Downtown Diner - Apple Dutch Baby pancake - Diners Near Me - Celebration, Florida

Recently visited as I heard this offered some gluten free options. My family loves breakfast so we went for a late breakfast. The service was great as the atmosphere was excellent. But the food left a lot to be desired. The gluten free pancakes were far from great. They tasted almost like paste. The waffle was very dense. The bacon was the best part. No one in our party ate much of their food (aside from the bacon). While the inside is great, the experience is would probably keep us from returning anytime soon. read more

Absolutely Awful. This place is BUG INVESTED and management just stated Exterminator has been out!! DO NOT GO HERE and had the nerve to give us a 1.85 off our meals And now the own goes on my post and tells LIES!! You supposed manager asked what he could do and to let him know and what we said was take the drinks off. What he did was tell the server to take 1.85 off. And the picture I posted was what was left of my food. Why would I eat it after bugs have landed in my food. It's disgusting and you think you can get away with it because you're in a tourist town with no real return customers. But i will forward and pray that the Health inspector pays you a visit real soon. I live in Florida and go to plenty of restaurants and have NEVER HAD THE ISSUE I HAD WITH YOUR RESTAURANT, SHAME ON YOU SUSAN read more

Stopped by for a quick breakfast in the way out of town. Weather was nice so sat on the patio with a view of the pond. Host and servers were super friendly. Food was good and came out quickly. read more

Honestly, as I look at the pictures of the avocado toast that others shared, I would question if they were at the same diner I was. I did not think you could slice avocado that thin and make three pieces of toast without even using half an avocado. I think the toast had more lemon zest than avocado. Asked for more and when they brought it to the table 15 minutes later they were upset we no longer wanted it. I might have been in Celebration, FL but I was not celebrating this meal. Absolute worst meal I have had in a long time. Run don't walk to another restaurant if you are ever in Celebration! read more

We love the diner in town and it is certainly a great spot for those looking for a relaxing morning in Celebration. Pancakes are scrumptious and we like the different varieties. Prices are reasonable as well, and the staff is quick, friendly and helpful. I do feel the portions are a little too big - I usually end up eating more than I should at restaurants that serve big plates but that's a me problem. I then walk away not feeling too great. But hey it's a diner eh, portions aren't supposed to be small in this country. For me, one of the most important items on a menu for breakfast/brunch are the breakfast potatoes/home fries. It's weird but they compliment my meal and at some places I could eat them non-stop. For these at the Diner, they need better seasoning and to be cooked a little longer or differently. Very minor though of course. The wait list experience using Yelp is a great touch and I wish more establishments used it! One day we will finally have lunch here. read more

After enjoying a horse drawn wagon ride with my son and in-law's, we were starving. We decided to give the Downtown Diner a try. It was our first time since they opened the diner in 2019. We ordered: patty melt w. diner sauce on the side & sweet potato fries (no honey drizzle), Celebration Club w. Fries, classic smash burger w. Cheese & fries, and the shrimp roll w. Sweet potato fries and honey on the side. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food. The French fries were steak fries and very tasty....I wished I had ordered them instead. We ordered 2 shakes, the vanilla was okay...the whipped cream was great, the chocolate shake was vanilla ice-cream w. chocolate syrup.....also...okay. They need better ice-cream for their shakes in our opinion. The waiter was very attentive and nice, & the prices were very reasonable (especially for Celebration). The theme is retro diner, but we sat outside and didn't get to appreciate the decor. read more

Great food and local spot! We always love stopping in for a meal and shakes to go! The vibes are also amazing inside, great decor and music! Our server was always amazing, very attentive and ensured we had a great time! Definitely will be back!! read more

The wait times are super long, so definitely plan ahead. We decided to skip the line and sit at the counter. The wait staff is incredibly busy, so getting their attention is not always so easy. The coffee was hot and good. The food was tasty. We ordered: The egg and meat breakfast, my husband chose eggs scrambled with salsa, ham (that's the only part he wasn't crazy about, but he liked it enough to finish it), breakfast potatoes (perfectly seasoned), toast and butter I ordered the egg, cheese and bacon breakfast sandwich, which was done to perfection (I love my eggs runny and they delivered) The staff was busy but very nice, friendly and accommodating We came on a busy Sunday morning. Not sure when it's less busy, but it's worth the wait. read more

So glad to see this diner has opened in the place where the original diner was located for years. New ownership, new name, slightly changed decor. I came for breakfast, but ended up with lunch. It was a tough decision what to order because there were so many selections that looked so good. After much deliberation, I opted for the Turkey Club with fries ($14.00). It took about 20 minutes for the food to arrive, but it was worth the wait! Three slices of thick, white grilled/toasted bread, crispy, fried bacon, thinly sliced turkey, lettuce and American cheese (I should have asked to "hold" the cheese but I forgot). They forgot to put tomato on the sandwich but I didn't mention it to our server. The fries were crinkle fries, very crunchy and tasty. I highly recommend this place! You won't be disappointed! read more

Love this place!! It had good ratings so we stopped in on our way out of town. First of all if you have never been to Celebration you're in for a treat. This towns architecture is a reminder of Back to the Future when they were in the 50s as my husband kept saying. The diner had delicious food. I got the lemon, ricotta pancakes with blueberries. I am not a huge fan of pancakes, but love lemon and blueberry so I had to try them. They were moist and yummy. My husband got the country skillet with a side of bacon. Neither of us could finish our breakfast. All our food was cooked to perfection. This is a great breakfast spot if you are looking for a fun atmosphere and delicious food. read more

Being a huge supporter of small business, especially in town, I wanted to give this place another try. This time, I brought my partner and we sat at a table instead of the bar. Thankfully a different server. This one was more attentive, caring and listened. The quality of the food was also on a higher level. Everything was cooked well. Including all the ordered components were there. While these are not strange things for a restaurant to accomplish, this was a gap in my previous experience. Should be noted, this was corrected since then. My favorites have become the avocado toast and impossible skillet. The only negative, their hosts continuously seem to not seat people inside who do not fit the table. Meaning, seating two people at a three or four top. Which is understandable from a business standpoint, but not from a customer experience one. read more

So great to have a breakfast spot back in Celebration! Service was spot on (friendly, knowledgeable, prompt), food was hot, delicious, and served quickly, and a table visit by the manager to cap it off! A solid crowd a week after opening is always a good sign, and cannot wait to return! read more

Definitely recommend this eatery! After a 10-11 hr drive and waiting for our room, I found this place using Yelp and it did not disappoint. Not only the diner but the surrounding was very peaceful. I really love the lakeside while we waited. It was very relaxing. Our server, Matt, was very sweet and attentive. The food was good but the eggs were bland. I would come back and try more items. Budget friendly too. read more

Glad to see that this spot is finally back open, Celebration needs a diner! I have higher hopes now because this is apparently owned and operated (and menu created by) the same people that run the Tavern. It seems like they're not quite fully functional yet.. 1/2 of the outdoor patio wasn't being seated which didn't help with our wait time. We were quoted 30 minutes and it was more than that, maybe 40 or 45. Mind you it was a Sunday morning so I expected to wait. Some stuff on their menu still says coming soon and they don't have a wide variety of drinks, which is kind of a thing for brunch. No bloody marys, no mimosa flavors or size options. A single mimosa cost $7, it was made in the back so I'm not sure how much champagne was actually in there. I guess fresh squeezed orange juice is a good thing, but I had some remnants of the pits in mine.. I do appreciate the variety of food options and the prices were reasonable. Didnt look at lunch, but for breakfast they have a few choices of omelettes, skillets, fun pancake and waffle flavors, as well as bigger items like chicken and waffles, quiche, monte cristo sandwich, etc. You can add on sides for a few bucks more. The lemon ricotta pancakes were good, but they arrived without any syrup. I get if they are still not wanting to put syrup carafes/bottles on the table due to COVID, but if this is the case it should automatically come with a cup of syrup on the plate. When I asked they brought out a small to-go cup of syrup. One was certainly not enough so I had to ask for more shortly thereafter.. the server brought it, but like you're making more work for them. One person in my party got a breakfast skillet and said it was cold. I would return to this place, but mostly for the location. I think you can get better and more exciting brunch items elsewhere. read more

Went here on a recent Disney trip. Food was just ok. And was really hoping to like it too, as it looked promising coming in. Great little area of Celebration. Service was spotty as well. We came in for breakfast around 9am on a Thursday. Got a seat very quickly. Coffee for me, OJ for my wife. Little did I know I wouldn't get a refill on coffee until the check came. My wife got a meat lovers omelet that had huge pieces of sausage and ham. Big enough that she had to cut them before eating it. Odd choice. I got my boring (as my wife always says) eggs, bacon, hash browns breakfast. Eggs that I always order over medium were overcooked. By the time our server came back to check on us, we were pretty much done eating, so we just asked for the check. read more

Our server, Joseph, was excellent. Very attentive quick and knowledgeable of the menu. His smile compensated any deficiencies in the food. He is probably a great asset in this restaurant. Very clean, they have disinfectant every couple of tables. The food was good but not amazing. My Reuben sandwich was a little burnt and the meat was also a little overcooked but it was edible . The french fries were very good, crispy and tender inside. read more

Finally got to the newly renovated Downtown Diner Celebration today! The new owners, Courtney and her hubby Steve have made the restaurant into a great retro diner with counter service and huge aqua and gold leather booth seating with additional outside cafe seating. The decor is reminiscent of the old time diners but with a modern twist! Our server, "Super Shandi" was bubbly and quick with our food and took good care of us! I felt like breakfast and my hubby felt like lunch which was no problem with their breakfast/brunch menu loaded with many options! I had one of their "Egg" celent choices of the 2 egg meal with my eggs a perfect "yolk porn" sunny side up with sausage links and tomato slices on side. The home fries were perfectly made with an amazing seasoning! The Turkey on white was plated nicely with Turkey, bacon, American cheese, tomato on bread with a specialty Aiola sauce. Owner Courtney made all her guests feel special and stopped to talk to every table. She was sincerely interested in how you liked your dining experience and accepted ideas happily! I am excited to go back and try their dinner menu with many comfort foods such as chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, Shepard's pie, an open faced Roast beef sandwich and so much more! If you haven't been to the diner recently you need to check it out with new hours from 7am-7pm in the beautiful lakefront town of Celebration, Florida with good vibes! read more

This place is great - classic diner food, good service, perfect location. But they have to do something about the very aggressive birds, particularly crows, that constantly attack the outdoor tables. Really hard to enjoy your meal when you have birds trying to eat your food constantly. But they are working on deterrents to solve the problem. read more

Food was great and the service was AWESOME!!! What a great place. We came here for breakfast. The coffee is FANTASTIC!!! Unlike coffee at other places, this coffee doesn't have a bitter after taste. Our waiter, John, was the BEST. His service was AWESOME. He had us on the inside and people on the outside to take care of. We felt like WE were his only customers! He was that attentive! The ambiance is like that of an old fashioned diner. So to sum it up, great food, lots of options, fantastic service. What more can you ask for. Veggie Omelette and Western Omelette. read more
