Eggs Benedict hash browns sliced tomatoes and coffee with refill.
Rubia S.

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.

Avocado hamburger
D. Scott C.

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.

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

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.

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

How's the food?

I liked it. It was basic southern fare. Not really Texas food, but more like something a bit east.

I've been in Dallas over 20 years and have never been to this restaurant. Yesterday I decided to do…read morea curbside pickup order. In true fashion, when I try a new to me restaurant,I get multiple entrees. I got half a rack of ribs with two sides; one was loaded baked potato and broccoli/cheese casserole. I got a bacon cheeseburger with fries and chicken fried chicken with broccoli/cheese casserole and red beans and rice. Finally, I got meatloaf with loaded baked potato. The good. I'm not really a broccoli cheese casserole person but I decided to try it since it's out of my comfort zone. It was good and had and had a nice flavor. The ribs were nice and tender, though I didn't care for the barbecue sauce. The chicken fried chicken was good, nothing wowed me about it but it was solid. The loaded baked potato was good and had plenty of cheese and bacon bits. The bacon cheeseburger was good and fries were solid. The red beans and rice were average. I appreciated the fact that it was not spicy. Even though there is meat in this dish, it doesn't necessarily add a smoky flavor, which was lacking. The bad. Why did they serve me BURNT meatloaf? Does the kitchen staff need to take eye tests? There is no way in hell that that meatloaf should've been sent out. It easily was the worst meatloaf I've ever had in my life. They should've been ashamed to serve that to a paying customer. I'll never get it again if I choose to eat here again

Came here recently for a staff members birthday lunch. As other reviewers will warn you, wait times…read morehere can be long. We had a large group and there was a long wait to get a table, to get our drink order, and then finally our food order. The restaurant is similar to Applebees or Chili's - just an average "fern bar" type restaurant. There weren't many veggie options on the menu. Lots of chicken, and of course, true to the restaurant name, lots of cheese. They brought us some incredible croissants in a thick honey butter sauce. The chips and salsa appetizer comes with salsa on the side and a meaty queso. I tried the broccoli and cheese side - the portion is tiny! This is a true side and not a good substitute for a meal. Super affordable though! They really outdid themselves on the birthday cake! Rich, chocolatey, with a fudge syrup - it was delicious. And kudos to the servers for being good sports and leading the birthday song. They were great about out large party splitting the check and the electronic pay device they brought to the table made it easy.

He…read moreadded in the onions/jalapenos/limes/rice as well as some of the "red sauce" and seemed happier with all of that added. He enjoyed and ate almost all of it but said he probably wouldn't get it again. I got the birra tacos on corn tortillas. They were way too soggy before I even finished the first half of the first taco. I ended up stealing one of his flour tortillas to be able to eat the second taco. Which made the whole thing no longer a crispy experience. I don't know if P got flour tortillas last time and that was the difference. Or if it was just a particularly different type of serving. It was delicious anyway. I also enjoyed the rice. And he REALLY enjoyed the frijoles. Not sure I've mentioned that before.

Right away, you see a sign at the host table recommending to pay in cash; there is a $3 added fee for credit. No problemo. It has been open under Papin's for a year. Complimentary basket of chips/salsa. We began with Appetizer Trio (fresh guac, mild chile con queso blanco, shredded chicken quesadilla x4); all 3 were great tasting and we demolished it. For entrees, we ordered the Trio Combo (tamale, chicken enchilada, crispy/soft ground beef taco) rice & charro beans; 6-count Nachos Texanos appetizer (beef fajita) - these reminded me of how ceviche is served because there was fajita aplenty on top n barely notice the cheese on the individual tiny Tostadas but tender YUM; Enchiladas Texanas plate (cheese); and, 2 Tostadas plate (1 beef/1 chicken). We cleaned our plates. I was impressed the most with my Tostadas... The ground beef was THE BEST! I LOVE A MESSY TOSTADA just like a greasy burger topped off with Mexican crema & queso fresco! The Spanish rice had good flavor and the refried beans too. Service was friendly. There's only one waitress for about 3-4 tables at the time but she was sweet and we were patient. The food came out hot and fresh. The prices are very fair for the portions served. I think this is a GEM of a place and I can't wait to try ALL DAY BREAKFAST and their Huevos Rancheros. There's room for big parties to seat 20 as well and also a few booths for just 2. My only complaint is how warm it was in the restaurant.

We got a booth immediately at 7pm - shocker - but not surprised it was right next to the kitchen. On the bright side, our server appeared promptly and the drinks were on the way. I went for the Peachy Keen ($11.50), very good! I ordered a dinner salad, but when the server (Diana) asked if I wanted chicken on it, I agreed and for some reason it became a $19 salad. I was disappointed that it was 3 times the salad I wanted but it was very good. Fresh ingredients made it worth taking 3/4 of it home. I ordered the range rattlers ($16) as an app, even though I wasn't very hungry. They were hot and spicy and crunchy, with a nice piece of shrimp inside. so good! Two of the 4 went home, also. Diana was attentive, got everything right, brought my water with lemon right away, both of my peachys were delivered promptly and she kept our table clean. She even boxed up our meals and in the beginning remembered to ask if I was a rewards member, which no one does!! Two stars for that! Good service means a lot to me and I would recommend her to anyone. Actually, all the staff seemed to take their job seriously, they were all hustling. The managers were running as fast as the staff! Thanks for not letting me down, Saltgrass, even if you are in Mesquite, lol. just kidding, heehee
