I have yet to ever make a recommendation without tasting the food, but there's a first time for everything. The parking is awesome, plenty of room. When you walk in the first thing that grand you is the aroma. The kitchen immediately behind the counter. Coffee that doesn't taste like the typical stuff at other places. The menu is extensive but laid out perfectly. Yes at first it seems a tad convoluted, but as you peruse it shows you all the amazing options it has to offer. My wife and I travel across the Southern and Western States. This quaint little hot spot is by far one of my favorites. Come to a Mesquite, Texas and eat here at the Mesquite Diner. read more

The food was pretty good. I mean it's nothing to write home about, but we all got full. The service was very good, especially since I tipped her before we even started so she knew how much she was gonna get. The ambience it was OK just a regular diner, but yeah, we'll be going back but not on a Sunday. It was too damn crowded for me. read more

Our waitress didn't have a smile in sight. It felt like we were inconveniencing her asking questions about the menu. Once we finally got our food, it tasted very bland. There was no soap in the bathroom. In fact it looked like there hasn't been soap for a while, it was SO dry. So I just am left to wonder if they wash their hands regularly. Not only that, but the stall I used in the woman's restroom didn't lock. Plus the place just looked nasty. With so many other options in Mesquite to eat breakfast, I would go somewhere else. read more

I tried to stop there after a late doctor appointment approximately 2:45 PM. It looked dark with few cars but the owners brother outside assured me they were open,so I entered the establishment. I was met by a waitress who asked if I intended to eat there. I replied I would like to if the kitchen was open. She huffed and asked for my drink order. She brought a drink and asked if the next people coming in were with me. I said "No" again she huffed off. Then she proceeded to asked kitchen person why he did not lock the door? By this time I took the hint she didn't want me or my money by her rude attitude and body language. I told her that fine I will just leave. I tried walking out and she grabbed my arm asking why "I" was leaving. I asked her to let go of my arm and left. I owner's brother approached me while I was driving away to ask me what happened. I repeated above. He wanted me to come back as well. I replied No, I was done with the place. The place is not well maintained or clean as well. read more

Met with my sisters for a quick breakfast, even with construction right out front the parking lot was full. They have a really nice menu with kids and senior selections available at very reasonable prices. I had coffee and eggs Benedict for under $10. Our server was very efficient and also very busy but still found time to swing by and refill my coffee. It's one of the last small town dining experiences left in the area. Nothing fancy just good food and good service in a clean booth. read more

Service was pretty good the food was tasty. The eggs were fresh tasting. The prices were really good for the early bird specials.

Only ate here due to proximity to where my truck was being worked on. The joint is old and needs to be updated badly! I ordered the avocado hamburger plate. I was asked if I wanted toast or a biscuit, so I asked if they made the biscuits, and she said no...toast then. The patty was overcooked and dry. I asked for the home fries to be extra crispy...evedently the cook didn't care. This joint is just ok, if you're looking for a cheap eatery. I will not be back. read more

Great personal service. I believe a mom and daughter were working there the day we went. The food came out hot (not very quick because they're short staffed). I enjoyed my brunch there. My suggestion is that you get there early. read more

This was our second time at Mesquite Diner, and we should've been coming way more often! The prices are incredibly affordable--most breakfast items are under $10. I had the chicken & waffles, and my husband got pancakes with eggs, bacon, and sausage. Everything was delicious! The customer service is top-notch, and the atmosphere feels welcoming. This place is truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend! 10/10 read more

This is a fast, friendly, basic diner experience! We prefer to eat here over the breakfast chains around town when we can. I can't remember the waitress's name, but she is there every time we go and works hard to serve everyone with correct orders and friendly service. You cannot beat the value either. It opens early and closes early. It gives very old school vibes and we like it. read more

We go often and the food is consistently great. The staff is attentive but not intrusive. The Ambiance is small but clean and cozy.

Good food. Fair price. We go there for the hamburgers and fries. Usually not too busy.

The service was amazing I will definitely be back. The food was delicious.and the food was at a good price and an affordable price. read more

This place is a hidden gem and I LOVE it!! The food here is amazing and the prices are VERY friendly compared to your other breakfast chain restaurants. The place is quite small and they have a bar top where you can sit as well. Staff members are very friendly and always smiling, really great service. I've ordered the Country fried Steak and the Big Diner Breakfast, both are GREAT dishes with a huge potion size. When I come back here again, I'll try to remember to take a picture lol. read more

Love love live this place. Great down home cooking and a great staff as well. We go for breakfast a few times a week

Have been here before, service is ot to good..food ok. Decided to give another chance. Mistake, waitress came to refill my coffee when I was finished with my food. Order was incorrect. She decided to choose my sides. Pancakes had to be microwaved because they were brought out cold. But the kicker was the heat..the ac was definitely not working. I hope they get better but I won't be around to find out..this was last meal here read more

Love a good hole in the wall small business. The place is a bit homey and not the cleanest, but the price is cheap for a lot of food. We ordered multiple things Since it's a relatively small place it was pretty busy and full during Sunday brunch but we were seated immediately. The table wasn't set up with utensils completely yet. You pretty much just sit where is open and pay at the register. A lot of the items came out fresh in a reasonable amount of time. I would avoid the scrambled egg dishes because they were rubbery. The coffee was unlimited but tasted questionable. They did got the extra mile and toasted the biscuits and tortillas extra so they were very hot when they came out. All the dishes came a hash browns/home fries and toast/biscuit/English muffin. A very good deal so I would go back and try more things at prices I don't feel guilty about. This felt like a more personal Waffle House. read more

Excellent little diner tucked away on the side of the highway so that you'd never know it's there unless you were looking for it. And you definitely should. It's a good place to get a great breakfast for less than $10 a person. Stay and hang out if you want or if you're in a hurry the service is quick and you can be in and out in 30 min. Check this place out and support a small business! read more

I was visiting Dallas, Tx with some family and we were recommended this place for breakfast. There was a lot of parking, the Diner itself felt home-y because it feels like you in a house. The staff was super sweet, interacted with my 4 year old nephew and they were very attentive. The food came out fairly quickly. I got the country fried steak with biscuits and it was amazing. The biscuits were lightly pan fried on one side with made it so good when I put butter on them. Overall a good experience. The server Kathy and Courtney were super nice and even walked us out :) read more

I was skeptical, but it was delicious! The waitress was lovely and the food was great. Way better than average diner food. Portions are huge and everything was seasoned and hot! We had steak (New York strip) and eggs and a home style biscuits and gravy with eggs and a side of ham. read more

The food is great and prices that can. beat excellent Service Andrew real clean place

As a Mesquite resident, we went to this dinner many times, stopped going cause the food went downhill. After a few years, decides to give it another shot. The food is still average, but unlike the previous staff, the service is now is plain awful, the mother- daughter combo isn't a good one, no friendliness no commitment to service. Forget about getting a refill, even after you flag them down, it's a major bother to them and they don't hesitate to show it. Unless you're a "preferred" customer I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I came here on a Saturday morning at around 9am and it was packed. I didn't have to wait long to be seated. I ordered 1 pancake with strawberries and bananas and whip cream. I got a side of hash browns and 1 biscuit n gravy. Hash browns were 3.5 stars. The biscuit n gravy ( 2 stars) was the worst part of my breakfast. The gravy lacked flavor and the biscuit didn't seem be homemade. It was really firm and dry. The pancake with strawberries and bananas was delicious ! I would give it 4 stars for sure. I'll be back for this pancake! The prices are really reasonable and the menu is huge here! read more

We went to Mesquite Diner II and we came there it was a small broken down business. Me and my wife thought that some of the small restaurant are awesome so we went there.. well it was wrong all levels.. the waitress was smelled like alcohol (probably Mad dog 20/20) and she was rude. I ordered a mushroom omelette and it took 20 minutes. I ate about 1/3 of the omelette and it was aweful. I did not tried to eat the hash browns.. even the diet coke was flat.. I would say zero (0). But Yelp has the lowest review is 1. I WILL NEVER go back to the business.. read more

.Food prices good large selection of food. With my order of breakfast eggs, sausage, ham, eggs, and home fries. They had onions all over the place, had to keep picking them out. So no matter what I was eating all I could taste was onions. Dont know why there was even onions on my meal. Friendly service and even though not busy 3 other tables of ppl eating in the place did not have waitress come around other than to take order and bring food. Never checked how things was or get refills. She did show back up just to bring check and tried walking away did have to catch her and ask for refill before paying. And no pre busing table. This was at 130 PM on a sunday read more

The place was so dirty. We couldn't find a table to sit at. No lie. The pork-chops tasted like jerky. Mashed potatoes were runny. This may be worse than the Waffle House. Please do not exit here. Service was friendly. read more

Great value - good food and friendly service. I had the delicious grilled chicken, corn and toast lunch special plus iced tea. My friend had a burger with onion rings. The bill was only $12 and change. The diner is in a converted house. We knew the place would be good when we saw the four pickup trucks parked outside! I love the Elvis artwork too! read more

This falls under my list of don't bother. It's an extremely small and unkept building. Just walking in the door the staff was incredibly rude and it was dirty. The seats were cramped and uncomfortable. Nope just nope. read more

The food is always great and the prices are too. But every time we come we get treated unfairly. I hate the racist customer service. I don't want to be the only one saying please and thank you and excuse me. My server should be doing that as well. I have mixed reviews because the low stars aren't for the food. It's for the terrible service. And why do we have to ask multiple times for to go boxes? They only handed us one for what reason? We asked for multiple. So we had to constantly get up to ask for things. She never came to check on us. Never asked us if we needed anything. Courtney should not work in customer service if she doesn't know what it entails. read more

The food was very good. And, the waitress/hostess/cashier, though overtasked, was outstanding.

I would like to start off by saying you've read the bad reviews, and they do not reflect what I see right now. First of all, the restaurant is not dirty and unkept. There are people of all nationalities in this restaurant and as far as I can tell everyone is being treated with the utmost respect. I do have one complaint about this place, and they have a few lights out, but I'm not going to let that influence my review...being cheeky as a joke. I had the New York strip with eggs, potatoes and biscuits. The New York strip was cooked medium as requested, it was juicy and flavorful not oily. The eggs 3 cooked over medium and perfecly done, whites done, yellows runny. Potatoes were cooked to a light golden brown and the sauteed onions really complemented the home fries. The biscuits, how can I describe the clouds of light gentle and cloud perfection. I would have to say that the gravy was the biggest surprise, most places it's either too thick, too thin or just not flavorful. The gravy was perfect, just like home. My wife had scrambled eggs and stuffed hash browns, wow it was delicious and I'm not even a fan of hash browns. So basically for $27 and some change, we got a lot of food. My biggest surprise was how thick the strip was and how delicious it was for such a small Mom and Pop Style Diner. The coffee was never ending. Even my wife, who never drinks black coffee, said it tasted good enough to drink without cream and sugar. It was so good the wife and I were picking off each other's plates like a couple of animals LOL! read more

If you live in Mesquite, you've probably driven past this gem several times and never noticed it. Not only is the food here delicious, but the prices are low. They serve breakfast all day, which I am a fan of. You can't go wrong with the pancakes and french toast. I've never ordered lunch or dinner here but based on what I've tried you can't go wrong. So the next time you are driving by stop in and check them out. read more

I love local spots and I want to love this place but I felt it was just okay at best. They do have a very large menu which would definitely cater to a variety of tastes, but I think they should stick to some down home basics that you would expect to find at a diner. We walked in and the place has a dated feel to it. The artwork consisted of an Elvis tapestry, a Mona Lisa drawing and various other sketches and oil paintings. Nothing seemed cohesive. We were not really greeted as we walked in so much as waved to be seated. We noticed that they did not have any ability to accommodate a large party, most tables could only seat four at best. We ordered the Senior Sampler which came with one egg, one buttermilk pancake, one crispy bacon strip and one pork sausage link for $3.99. I substituted the sausage for some ham and they literally gave me a strip of ham. I also just realized as I was looking back at the description of the sampler, that neither of us got a pancake. We did ask for our bacon to be crispy and the ham well done but the hash browns were also well done. A little too crispy for my tastes. The service overall was fine but definitely could have been friendlier from the get go. I'm not sure that we'd intentionally go back although the prices were very inexpensive. read more
