    Owl fries.
    Samantha K.

    Love the concept but wasn't impressed. $25 for basically chicken and fries seems outlandish. A friend got the burger and said he would've rather had a McDouble. My other friend swore by the chicken and waffles tho!! Food was definitely fresh but for the crowd of people and price not worth it in my opinion. (Waitress was so sweet tho).

    It's 3 in the morning, and for whatever reason, YOU ARE HUNGRY! Despair not! Keep calm and simply follow this 12 step program: 1. Walk into Night Owl Diner, located at Sylvania and Secor. 2. Mosey on up to the counter. 3. Check out the menu. 4. Give your order to the friendly counter attendant. 5. Pay for your meal. 6. Take a seat. 7. Wait for a short time. 8. Notice the waitress sauntering over to bring you your food. 9. Eat a terrific meal. 10. Finish at your own pace, perhaps getting a refill, or two, of your coffee or pop. 11. Tip the waitress who has been checking on you the whole time. 12. Say, as you're walking out, "Have a good night. I'll be back." There you go. You're no longer hungry. Problem solved. Notice that because you paid in advance, after you've finished eating, you don't have to sit around waiting for your check and possibly your plastic. Although not everyone likes this service model, I personally do. If I'm being honest, SO FAR the food has rated about 4 stars, BUT... Allyson the waitress (cool, friendly), the concept (all-night diner in the heart of the Toledo metro area), and the atmosphere (comfortable with demure lighting) combine to give Night Owl Diner a fifth star. I would also say that Night Owl is on the expensive side. But, hey that's the price you pay for the convince of getting a good meal at 3 am! FIVE STARS!

    So the second time we went they no longer have table service. Sad. Really thought this place could be the new late nite spot, instead it's just a carryout.

    Clean, casual, friendly place. Food was hot and well prepared. Portions were filling. Will cost an average of $15-20 per person (not a complaint). Overall, I think the prices are reasonable. For a RECOMMENDATION, I suggest The Owl Fries!!! I don't know how they took basic ingredients (we've all had loaded fries, come on...) and made them fantastic, but The Night Owl did!! P.S. The staff was the BEST, seriously.

    A solid, comforting, reliable spot for casual late night dining. The food was simple, in the best way possible. When I ordered a Nutella waffle, I was expecting a huge hodgepodge of garbage on my plate. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a very simple waffle drizzled with a couple of syrups and topped with powdered sugar and sweet cheese. Not overwhelming, but still appropriately delicious, as one would hope a waffle would be! Also, the owl fries are to die for. Another simple take on loaded French fries complete with queso, sour cream, bacon, and chives. Absolutely delicious, not nauseatingly enormous, and perfect for a casual late night comfort bite with a friend or solo. The ambiance of the place is perfect. Low lighting, friendly staff, and comfortable seating options. I would say this diner strikes the perfect balance between junk/comfort food and reasonable portions. Would recommend, 10/10!

    So very good! Better than Hangover Easy and they're fantastic! Even those shredded hash browns that need ketchup and taste so-so elsewhere- here they are fantastic all on their own, golden and full of flavor! Amazing breakfast sandwich, amazing waffles, amazing loaded fries, amazing service. The atmosphere is fantastic- low lighting, chill music.. Perfect vibe.

This truly a wonderful experience for all ages and varying tastes. A tremendous and welcome change we've come to endure from other dining experiences. Here the customer is THE primary focus from the moment you walk in til you walk out the door - BRAVO!! The food, had the Mayberry Mega where you pick your 6 omelette ingredients. Normally a crap shoot in most diners but here it was a home run. The ham and sausage were nice size chunks, juicy, and full of flavor. Spinach, onions, and tomatoes were fresh and perfect sizes and good quantities for the dish. That leaves the cheese my one "ding" would have preferred shredded cheese vs sliced cheese because of flavor and texture - but it didn't take away from a wonderfully prepared omelette made and severed with genuine care. Potatoes were frozen BUT they were prepared exceptionally well for dinner dare they were soft and cooked with a nice crisp. It was a superb surprise and a very welcome one. The coffee was fresh and hot and the standard "acidic" coffees you'd find in most diners anywhere, but overall inviting enough to have a few cups for a discerning coffee "snob" like me. Place was PACKED so all tables and booth were full, but they have a nice counter service with plenty of seating and space to move and eat and be very comfortable for your meal. What's fascinating is the incredible teamwork and collective desire to ensure your time, experience, and meal are spent enjoying your company and food not staring at your watch wondering about time. The entire restaurant was seated, served, and cleared with clean tables within the time I had to get and consume my own breakfast. So if you see a packed house on your arrival and don't desire that counter seat fear not - in this home environment your wait will be short and your day will lose no valuable time - well worth some minimal patience - you'll be glad you did. Your greeted as soon as you walk in by one or more of the extremely hardworking waitresses with a smile - your also sent off with a "Thank you. have a Good Day" by one more waitresses as you leave - both excellent touch of service class enhancing customer experience. I've never seen a more well-run diner or any restaurant from the waitresses to the cooks to the dishwashers the teamwork, attention to details, customer satisfaction, and to the incredible cleanliness of the restaurant despite the constant flow of customers - I've never seen a restaurant so clean and kept so clean the out the day. So what are you waiting for come to Mayberry where a warm greeting, clean home, exceptional food are calling YOUR name today...I'm returning perhaps I'll see you there....Bon Appetite!!

    Good diner experience. The service was excellent, with quick service and lots of coffee refills…read more The food was basically what we expected. The egg white veggie wrap was nicely portioned without being over the top; a little mustard and hot sauce was required to complete the profile, but that's fine. The veggie omelette was good, with a big portion of hash browns and a decent quantity of veggies in the omelette. Hot sauce and mustard were also our friend here, but that works for me. The staff were very friendly and attentive, even beyond what we would have expected. All told, this was an excellent experience if you're looking for a fast paced diner breakfast.
