    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

    Avocado hamburger

    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 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.

    How's the food?

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

(We had one person in our party not receive their dinner due to a misunderstanding but they handled it well.) The food : The honey glazed salmon was cooked beautifully, and so was the broccolini. Seasoning was well balanced. BUT the rice underneath it was a miss. It was having an identity crisis. Not exactly sure what they were aiming for: Spanish rice ? Mexican rice ? Not a risotto, but certainly mush. The dish could do without this element. The pizza : the crust was more bread than crust. The sauce was good and the cup pepperoni is our favorite pepperoni. If you like a doughy bread type pizza you may like this. We like ours thinner and crispier with a chewy crust. The crust was bland. The Steak frites: order it! Best dish of the night. I would have ordered mine medium rare but I tried my husband's order which was more well done and it was still soft as flavorful. Next time I'm ordering my own and not sharing. The wine: we had a nice bottle of the Chenin blanc. It was aromatic, light and crisp. Everything I expected from a Chenin blanc. Amazing on a hot spring/summer night. They do have a good wine list that won't break the bank! Ambiance: I'm a fan! Dark and moody without being too dark and moody. They had live music and although a little loud for conversation if you're in the mood for a nice night out and don't want to drive to mesquite/dallas this is the place.

I wish this time I had gotten two chicken because they were so good! The beef was good too, but they are more My Husband's flavor style than mine. Nothing at all wrong with them just personal preference. The meats were good quality, and the beans and rice were good too. Mozzarella sticks were nice and crispy battered on the outside with soft gooey cheese inside just like you want from good mozzarella sticks My friend ordered the nachos and let me tell you that plate was stacked. Huge plate of nachos! The place was clean, service was friendly and overall we were just really impressed with everything. Even end of the night food was still served fast, fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend stopping here. Their menu has a gigantic variety so I can almost guarantee you'll find something for everyone!

Fair enough if there are limited tables but there were open tables throughout the restaurant. Once at our table, the table and seats were greasy. Not cleaned properly between seasons. The digital pay kiosk was also greasy. The shrimp and pasta dish had overcooked shrimp and broccoli. It was not appealing. The grilled chicken salad was as expected. No complaints there. Toward the end of the meal, another family came in with a handicapped person. They were seated across from our table. The management should take ability into consideration when seating tables. Teach your hostess staff to do better. We won't be back.

I go there right at 12:00 and avoided the rush that came in right as I walked out, lol. The owner himself waited on me and helped me with my order. The place is so clean and clearly a great place to hang out if you aren't just wanting to eat. One side is a small bar area - but not too small - complete with a jukebox! TV screens are placed in good spots. The owner chatted about their history and I was interested in the history of Mesquite. A lady brought out my meal and took the time to smile at me, such a change from places that are in such a rush. My son loves it and now I'm a fan. You must check out this local-owned charming place! Food is so fresh!

    The Toddzilla Challenge Is a lie JC Burger Bar was a…read morecomplete letdown. I went there for my birthday specifically to take on the "Toddzilla Challenge"--only to find out after finishing it that the challenge no longer exists. A total of four of us ordered it, and at no point did the cashier or waitress inform us that the challenge was discontinued. The Toddzilla is still on the menu, and there's even a wall dedicated to past winners, making it seem like the challenge was still active. So, we did what any competitive eater would do--we finished every last bite, expecting to earn our place on the wall and a commemorative t-shirt. Instead, we were met with a shrug and told, "Oh yeah, that challenge isn't a thing anymore." Talk about false advertising! The biggest issue? We specifically ordered four massive $22 burgers designed not to be finished, under the assumption we were taking on a legit challenge. If the staff had simply told us beforehand, we might have reconsidered. But nope--we were left in the dark. As for the food? It was... meh. The Toddzilla is just three beef patties with three slices of cheese--no sauce, no toppings, nothing. Just dry meat and bread. Fortunately, we asked for mayo, which helped a little, but without ketchup, mustard, pickles, or onions, it was a struggle to get through. Honestly, I think this place only gets good ratings because it's a bar. And let's be real--when alcohol is involved, food tends to get rated better than it actually is. If you're looking for a good burger, there are far better spots out there. Huge disappointment. *Poor *Decent *Ok *Good *Great *Best *JLFoodie Certified Prices. Ok Food. Good Service.
