Menu has something for everyone. Our family is the breakfast crowd, but lunch is also really good. For me it's the pies. Oh, my heck, they are awesome. read more

Oof. This was a rough one. We were seated immediately but after that, everything moved in slow motion. Our order took over an hour to be delivered to our table. No exaggeration. I wish that I could say it was worth the wait, but the food was horrendous. The eggs were rubbery, without flavor and undercooked. The pancakes were soggy in the middle and the potatoes were just....nasty. The one good thing about the visit was that we could pay our ticket at the table using Apple Pay. I appreciated being able to skip the line at the cashier and hurry out of here. read more

I am loving the vibes here. There's a shawty sat at the counter that is just sipping her coke and vibing. Got nowhere to be. Our waitress???? Show stopping. April. Love of my life. Gave me a to go rootbeer. (They have Barq's btw. It's how I know I can trust them.) Food was exactly what diner food should taste like. Had the tastiest 1/4 cheeseburger and fries. Ketchup and fry sauce come in those perfect squeeze bottles. I liked hearing the waitresses talk about their lives to each other. Wholesome and lovely and everything a diner should be. read more

So was down in fairview to fix a dump truck on a Sunday nothing was open. Asked at the gas station they said go try Home Plate diner. Me and my brother got chicken fried steak and it was pretty good! I got the chopped potatoes he got hash browns. It was actually really busy on a Sunday morning which was nice to see. The wait was about 30 minutes for the food but the waitress told us that right at the start so we were fine with it. Great service and Angie was a great server she was hustling! read more

Home Plate Cafe - Chicken fried streaks - Diners Near Me - Fairview, Utah

This is a great little ma and pa place in a small town. Everyone seems to know each other and this is their "local" place. The food has good portions and is priced right. Daily specials keep us coming back to see the special of the day. Service gets a bit slow at times due to not enough staff. Worth the wait though. read more

I tried this place once on a Sunday when I was traveling through and another one of my favorite diners wasn't open. I must say the food was pretty tasty, once I got relocated within the establishment. Unfortunately, these guys have a building with a large air conditioner that isn't a sound isolated. In the main room, where the people sit, mostly, there is a pervasive and loud hum in that, when the AC was on, my head, felt like it was gonna pop with sound pressure levels, probably in the 90-95 dB range. Most of the locals look like they were used to it, but I had to get moved into another room. I asked the staff about it and they were quite aware. They just dealt with it. I don't think I could eat here again in the summertime due to that problem, but when it cools off a little bit and they don't have to run the AC, they are very nice people and make good food and if you're driving through it's worth a stop. read more

We were starving. Sundays you don't find many places open in Fairview and Mount Pleasant. Tada! We saw this diner. Food was good and the service was great. I was a little intimidated to go in there, but it was all in my head. The people at this diner were great and the service was friendly. I love seeing everyone with their cowboy hats, a bunch of side by side park in front of the restaurant... it is an experience that you don't want to miss. Be prepared to wait for a while. They make everything in the spot. Fresh food takes a while. read more

I love their fries and burgers! They have great fry sauce too! Would highly recommend to anyone stopping through town to come here for lunch. One suggestion: make sure the ice is clean before you serve it to customers. Had a cup of water served to me with black, bacterial build-up on the ice cubes. This can get people diarrhea, stomachaches, etc... (Cleaning the ice bin out helps!) read more

I stopped in for breakfast, and I had some biscuits and gravy. That was the best gravy I've had since forever. Glad breakfast is served all day... I'll be back. read more

Homemade French fries, not frozen, the best. They even have fry sauce. Good menu variety. We eat here whenever we're driving through. Scones are a must. Love the daily soups. Friendly service. Room for large groups. read more

This is a perfect small town diner and coming from SLC you don't get many authentic ones. I've only ever gotten the 1/4 burger and fries and they get it perfect every. time. i love the environment and service we get, always smiles and chill times read more

I travel allot and love trying and supporting small businesses.  THIS IS A DIAMOND GEM!!! a MUST when passing thru Fairview! absolute favorite breakfast ever (besides my own)... thick sliced, perfectly cooked bacon, perfectly cooked over easy eggs, the potatoes were spot on! and even the English muffin with melted butter on it was the best one I've ever had. service was friendly and the views of the mountains are spectacular.  please stop by and enjoy! I look forward to my next business appointment out there so I can try another menu item. read more

Every time we come here it just worst we were the only people in the restaurant and it took 45 minutes for our food to arrive. The food was severely burned we pointed it out to the waitress and she apologized a little later she asked if we needed a to go box again we pointed out to her it was so burned it wasn't Edible once again she apologized we decided just to leave she met us at the door and once again asked us how our dinner was we told her she already know it was very burned she once again apologized and told us it was $66.00 for our very burned meal that no one ate. We will definitely not be returning. read more

We arrived for lunch. It had a few people but not too busy. First off our waiter was awful, he seemed nice but as for service, he needed major training. He never checked with us once we received the food to make sure everything was okay and tasted fine. Once he passed by we asked for a coffee refill which we never got. After our meal he was nowhere to be found to get our bill. We ended up going up to the register to try and pay and then were overcharged on everything. After a long day fishing it was not worth trying to get a manager and complaining. The food itself wasn't like a Hometown Diner food it was more like at cheap fast food. The quote-unquote quarter pound burger was a Frozen thin Patty. The ham and cheese sandwich had fake cheese that was not even melted. We will definitely not be stopping here again. read more

Home Plate Cafe - Lunch after fishing - Diners Near Me - Fairview, Utah

My wife and I and typically aren't ones to write reviews, but we wanted to share our experience. My family and I will never be returning to this hole in the wall. Terrible service, terrible food and workers who do not care about wait times and/or caring to check to see if food is all the way cooked. Thank you for being so terrible so that I can ensure none of my family members give this business any money. read more

Always consistent. Good food. Good service. Friendly staff. Just like going home. Will definitely go there again.

Dining options in Fairview are limited but Home Plate Cafe has it covered. The food is all made to order, the menu is more extensive than you might expect, and the prices are reasonable. Friendly staff who greet you with a smile and make you feel like you are eating at your own Home Plate. read more

It is the only dinner in town. Certainly a small town dinner with traditional American food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Wife had a salad; half-size is all you really need; comes with a massive scone. I had a party melt and fries. Unfortunately not my recommendation as the fries are ok but the patty melt not grilled rather toasted marble rye. Service and prices are fine. read more

We stopped there for a late lunch, and had our order taken immediately. There were three other parties already seated, two of whom already had their food. The third got their food and shortly all three groups had finished and left. After nearly 1/2 hour without getting our order, we just got up and left. I told the waitress that we were giving up after waiting that long for a cold turkey sandwich that didn't even need cooking, and she said that it takes about :20 to fix a meal when there is a crowd. I looked around at the totally empty restaurant and said "for a cold turkey sandwich?" Maybe it was because we ordered fries with it. Maybe the food is good. The people at the other tables when we arrived seemed to like it, but I guess we will never know. read more

Usually, I love eating in local diners, this however was the worst diner I have eaten at and I have crossed America many times. From the 5 second warmed, cheese and ham, to the gallon of oil in my chili, I was left speechless. I simply left, I couldn't even begin to complain it was so bad. I tipped, simply in hopes it would make there day, and they would improve for someone else. As for me, they blew it!!! read more

Last Friday my hubby and I ate here for dinner. Didn't appear to be very busy, but a couple who came in after us got up and left. "40 minutes is too long to wait for a meal!" she said. Our meal came in fits and starts. At my request, the waitress finally brought my fruit bowl, set it down and was ready to walk away without bringing silverware. When she brought that she asked, "Will there be anything else?" I answered, "Yes. We'd like our meal." She wasn't concerned and didn't offer to check on it. Meanwhile, other patrons had to get up and ask for simple condiments. Much later the waitress brought me the specialty pancake -- it was larger than the plate! I couldn't figure how to eat it without making a mess with the syrup and requested a larger dish (it was probably 9"...a salad plate I would think.) She said that was their largest one; however, hubby's burger came on a larger oblong platter. The group we had planned on having breakfast with happened to choose that very cafe! I warned them of our poor experience, but they had notified them in advance about our group of perhaps 15, all adults. We showed up exactly on time and eventually the waitress (a different one) got everyone's order. I was hopeful when my order was about the 5th one out. When my hubby, seated next to me, didn't have his an hour later, I told the waitress. His was nearly the very last one she brought out--it took 1 hour, 20 minutes from the time we arrived. If you have lots of time and desire a leisurely meal, definitely stop in. As for me and hubby, we won't be returning. read more

Excellent breakfast. Pancakes were massive and fluffy. Bacon was amazing. Service was extremely good. They were super busy with a long wait, but were upfront and courteous about it. read more

The family and I were enjoying a drive through Central Utah and decided to swing by Mt Pleasant. I had not been to Mt Pleasant in about 25 years. To my surprise not much had changed. We decided to eat some lunch at Home Plate Cafe. The building itself isn't much to write home about. The interior is a typical small town diner. One reason we decided to eat here was the variety of items on the menu. I ordered a ham and cheese omelette with potatoes. Wife ordered a mushroom swiss burger with some dino nuggets and Mac & cheese for the boy. We were all satisfied with our meals. Hard to mess up a ham and cheese omelette or microwave nuggets and easy mac. The wife's burger was good but not great. If you're looking for a decent place to eat between Provo and Manti, you could do worse than Home Plate Cafe. read more

Hey, I'm surprised that the Home Plate overall rating is 2.5 stars, I give it a 4 star because I love the omelettes, and the service. These folks really try hard to please you! Keep it up! read more

Just went here for breakfast at noon! Angie was our server and she was amazeballs!! Had the Denver omelette and diced potatoes and it was delicious. They were out of Ranch and Angie made some and it couldn't have been better!! Small town feel. And I loved it! My girlfriend had a custom omelet and loved it as well. We will be back! Thanks Angie. read more

Had the Cowboy burger and it was really good. Service was not good at all. We were planning on having desert after our main meal, but the waitress was too busy talking with all the other staff rather than taking care of the guests. We both had nothing left on our plates so it should have been obvious that we were done with our meals. I tried to get her attention, but all I got was a nod of recognition and then she kept talking to the other wait staff for a few minutes. After she was done talking to the other waiter she proceeded to the back kitchen. after 10 minutes she came out and I finally got her attention enough to give us the check. Next time I'm in the area I may give it another try and if I do I hope the service will be better. Maybe it was an oddity being the weekend before Independence day... *shrug* read more

Several places to eat in Fairview, UT. Decided to stop at a local Cafe rather than a franchised national brand. Was very well worth it. Extra good service. Waitresses were polite. Food was very, very good. Purchased some thick & large chocolate chip cookies made there earlier in the day for "the road." Excellent choice. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend. Will want to return next time we're in the area for sure. read more

Incredible little gem that we stumbled on. The burgers were excellent, the fries are the best we've ever had, fresh-cut potatoes fried to perfection. The Reuben sandwich was impeccable, plenty of meat and the sauerkraut was plentiful and cooked perfectly. The surprise hit of the meal was the southern buttermilk pie. It's unbelievable. It was freshly made this morning. Unreal! Love this place. We'll be back for sure. read more

The bacon is amazing!!! The prices are affordable and the quality is great. This diner provides a cozy atmosphere to start out your morning. My server was a true gentlemen and treated each customer with care and honesty. read more

I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews. One time a small business owner responded to my review, and it made me feel guilty, even though my feelings were legitimate. But in the case of this diner, I feel compelled to share my experience, in order to save others from the same heart break. This food is absolutely terrible. I think you'd almost have to try to make food this bad. I feel like if I decided to open a diner tomorrow, with zero experience, I could make tastier food. I knew with one look at this place that it was going to be awful, I even told my wife to order something simple, the writing was on the wall....but she did not heed my warning. Her turkey sandwich looked disgusting. She tried to trade sexual favors in order for me to try a bite, but she would have had to bring in another woman to make it worth while to eat a bite of that slop. She debated hiding her food inside the restaurant like some kind of Mr Bean skit, rather than showing the waitress her entirely full plate. Me, being a man of culture, knew better than to try the turkey at a place like this. I went simple - breakfast. Pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Well I will say this: the bacon is some of the best I've ever had. I'd come back for the bacon. The eggs were okay and the pancakes, well the pancakes were basically inedible. Just a big cakey mass. I'm no cook but I've made better pancakes out of a box with my 2 year old screaming at me the whole time. My wife and I actually decided that the food was so bad, it made the night more enjoyable. I've had many great meals, but it's rare that you have a meal as bad as this. A truly special occasion. My wife talked about making this a regular thing, seeking out the worst restaurant we can find every Valentine's Day, maybe writing a book, "Worst Eats" read more

Greatest little hole in the wall diner I've ever been to. Their omelets are huge and to die for, not to mention the fried potatoes. Service couldn't have been better as well. read more

My boyfriend and I recently visited Fairview and ate at this cafe more than once as it was directly across the street from our motel. The food is okay and somewhat overpriced, but it's a very small town. After returning home my boyfriend was notified that a large charge was coming through on his AMEX and saw it was for $632 from this cafe. The actual amount we spent here was $32 including tip. He immediately called AMEX to dispute the charge and was told they could see the original charge of $32 but when this cafe sent their receipts in someone wrote a 6 in front of the $32 total my boyfriend had written on the receipt. They fixed the issue and said they would be investigating further. He then contacted the cafe and asked to speak to a manager but of course none was available and despite leaving his name and number no one has called him back, it's been three days. Seems like they have some shady untrustworthy employees and if you want to try and rip someone off, probably not a smart move to increase the charge by $600! read more

Stopped on our way out of town and everybody left happy! Food was quick, delicious, and had the home cooked taste. Bacon was extra good. Pancakes all good. Loved the omelette and I think it was called the grand slam? Good portion sizes and quick service. read more

this place is ok. pretty standard diner fare. I got the seasonal pumpkin pancakes. they were good but expensive-- 9 bucks for 2 pancakes and 2 eggs? cmon now I mean I know it's a small town but those prices dissuade me from going back. my man got the hot turkey sandwich with gravy.. it was shiny beef gravy which looked MEH. he didn't complain because it's not in his nature. his plate also came with string beans and they looked awesome and fresh grown but we're so MUSHY that I was turned off. he got soup and salad as well. neither of those were anything extra special. clam chowder was ok. best were the pancakes. fine for a quick bite but overpriced for the quality of food. read more

Home Plate Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat breakfast period! My son and I eat at Home Plate Cafe nearly every morning whenever we're camping or hunting in Sanpete county. I've never had anything at Home Plate that I didn't enjoy but I really enjoy their French Toast and their Biscuits and Gravy. You don't get Biscuits and Gravy this good in the west very often. Give Home Plate a try....you won't be disappointed! read more
