Really good food, good deals, great service, and the waitress's are always amazing and available

First trip here because the catfish was recommended to my husband. We went 1:30 today. Lovely waitress. All good homemade and wonderful! Sweet homemade coleslaw, not from a large plastic tub. Catfish was delightful and wish I would have gotten that, but the fried shrimp was great. Sweet potato fries also good. Friends and open face roast beef. Looked good and was a lot of food. We brought home chocolate cake dessert made by a local lady. Would highly recommend this place. Like going back in time! read more

We did the buy 1 get 1 dinner menu. Catfish for me, chicken tenders for him. 2 sides each. Both meals were good. The sweet potato fries are great. Have to buy 2 beverages. read more

The name says it all. With its harsh overhead fluorescent lights, dated interior and scuffs on booths and walls, this is a restaurant badly in need of a modern makeover. The food belies the shabby surroundings. We loved our burgers and my table mate enjoyed his catfish. Our sever was prompt and efficient. Prices are reasonable. read more

I went to try the "all you can eat seafood ". They serve you a huge seafood boil. I was not happy about the fact that it had so much water in the container. Anyways, I really wanted just crab legs, but to get a second serving you must eat 90% of your first serving first. I never heard of such a thing when I'd supposed to be all you can it. I only really wanted crab legs, but they don't allow you to customize your order. The place is old and raggedy. Good place for the older locals, but I won't be back! read more

Fried catfish and hush puppies were hot and fresh. The coleslaw was warm and questionable. We got NYS steak also nothing wrong with it , had a good flavor. They need better steak knives. read more

Really enjoyed the decor in this restaurant. Service was spot on. Food was tasty and good. Hubby had fried cat fish and I had a steak sub.. Hush puppies came with hubby's catfish and they were so good I ate all of his. A large selection of food on the menu to accommodate anyone's taste. read more

We had the BOGO with beverage purchase. My lady had the catfish(2 large fillets and soft drink. I had the nine piece fried shrimp. They come with choice of two sides(big selection). The shrimp were good as were the fries and side salad. She had two large fillets and brought 1 1/2 of them home. ;-) mine for later. Both meals came with 3 hushpuppies that were very good. We will return. read more

I do NOT recommend this place. Waitress got my husbands order wrong, instead of saying "sorry let me correct that" she argued with him that he ordered the wrong thing. She repeated this at least 3 times. He got aggravated and said fine he would just keep the order - it was supposed to be fried shrimp and crab legs - a #2. He got a Seafood Combination,,, which sounds NOTHING like I will have the #2. She tried to make amends by again saying she was sorry but he ordered Seafood Combination, when the rest of us clearly heard him say #2. He got fried fish, fried shrimp and a crab cake, He hates fried fish and crabcakes. when she took the order she said "you get hush puppies with that". When I asked well where are the hush puppies her response was to basically say "well the kitchen gets that wrong a lot". Seriously??? great job waitress Daisy ! read more

Very dingy and old interior and it doesn't look clean. Food was okay but we won't be going back.

We've been for breakfast and dinner. Basic breakfast. We also tried the AYCE fish, not worth it. Staff, blah Ambiance, a weird 60s vibe. They do have other seafood options just haven't had the inclination to go back. Pick up one of the community flyers for a coupon. read more

excellent dining experience!! see my review on trip adviser.excellent service!!!!!!!!!!!@@@@!@!!

The food was hot & fresh which is always a plus. Our server Daisy here was excellent and the ambience here is old time diner feel. Sure going to miss this place since we are moving out the area. Trust us it's worth coming by here. read more

Old Time Diner - On the far side it is hot chicken wings and on the front plate French fries with a Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich. - American Near Me - Leesburg, Florida

The people here are always welcoming. The food is great and the decor is delightfully retro.

Took a group of Ladies for Birthday celebrations and they had the tables all setup and ready for group. Our waitress was on target ! Delicious meals and many to choose from the menu. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I am not a Michelin star establishment sort of guy. The cleanliness of the mirrors and bathroom were a real poker tell. The applesauce side came out before the meal with some sort if white gunk in it. Food ? Piece of a towel ? Who knows. The fries and gravy had some distant off taste like rancid water. read more

Had breakfast here yesterday and the food was great! The service was a tad bit slow but I think it was because they are short staffed. The prices are decent so that's always a plus. I'll be back to try the lunch menu. read more

Service was awesome and the food was good too. I'll definitely be going back. I had fried clams for dinner.

First off the place was very dirty and the employees were touching food with their hands. The second point is that my wife was bitten by bugs while eating in the restaurant we all got stomach aches when we leave there so I would not recommend this restaurant to anybody beware read more

Been here serval time. Total disappointed. Meatloaf and tasteless and dry. Look like the last of the cutting. Looks like the setting to stretch it out for hopes of more walk-ins. Knock down several points on my list, last to go now. read more

The blue cheese jalapeño burger with fries was fantastic!! Big portion of fries and an old school char on the huge burger. Kim my server was very friendly and attentive. They played great oldies music. The walls are full of old 45's and memorabilia. Nice touch. If you want a trip down memory lane this is the place! read more

While in town, we decided to try out Old Time Diner for lunch. It's a retro 50s/60s diner theme with a fairly large menu selection. The service was great, food came out steaming hot! When we pulled up the parking lot was pretty empty, so we debated about even stopping. However I'm glad we did because overall this has been one of the best restaurants we ate at since being down in Flordia. The staff also seemed to engage with other guests as if they are an old family friend. Food was about $40 for us, but that included a milkshake. Old Time Diner has made it to our recommended list! read more

I want to give this place a BIG thanks. We had them cater for Christmas dinner. Service was for 150 people. All the food came in very hot but best of all very tasty. We had enough food for all and more. If you're interested in a cater job no need to look anymore. You have found it... enjoy. read more

Food was amazing. Chicken tenders were so good, hot and juicy inside and crispy, but not greasy outside. Service was good. Cute restaurant with lots of music decor. read more

Every time I visited the waitress was so rude discussing customers and her tips. I ordered the Am special 2 eggs toast and hash browns with coffee the bill was 6.30. I gave 1.00 and some change. Then there was a young couple who were with there 2 young children that made a mess At first she told them oh don't worry about it I will clean it up. I guess they left NO tip! She was telling another waitress I hope you put gas in your car because no one was tipping? I will never go there again! I love all the pictures on the wall of the stars but I thought she was a poor waitress to be discussing this when a customer ( me) was still there. The food is nothing to brag about either! read more

Spacious room, checkered floor tile. Very clean although aged. Well staffed. Quick service. Good food. Have a sign 12 oysters raw or steamed for 12.95. Elvis is in the corner, 50's and 60's movie stars adorn the walls. Ordered the catfish, which came with hush puppies and 2 sides. Waitress asked if I wanted more catfish. Come to find it is all you can eat, I got one more piece, not that I needed it. The first two were large and this third was even larger. 12.99 was a more than fair for a meal like this. I will be stopping by to sample other items on the menu. read more

This place has the ambience of the yesteryear road diner. The staff and food service were top notch. After one visit it has become a favorite destination for us. read more

Had the fried oysters, done perfectly in light breading. Waitress was excellent! Remembered all our meals and the acoustics were nice. We could all talk and be heard! read more

I ate there when they first opened a few years ago, and it was terrible. I had to drop a friend off at nearby Leesburg Hospital, so I thought I'd give them another try. Still terrible, but is now darker and dirtier and my waitress had a bad attitude (I tipped her 30% anyway because it's a tough job and anyone can have a bad day). Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. There won't be a third time. read more

We have eaten at this restaurant many times in the past 4 years. We have always received great service and the meals were delivered hot in a reasonable time. This is individually owned and the owner is usually there. In these times when it is hard to hire anyone, the regular staff are doing a great job. I can see where it is possible that a new employee may not work out. They have a very good variety of basic menu items and reasonably priced. It is not The Rose Plantation, nor are the prices. We have been back and will be back. read more

I have been to this diner numerous times for burgers, but tonight I ordered a 1/2 lb crab/1/2 lb shrimp boil. The crab was old and over cooked. There were 9 pieces of shrimp... smh. But that's not why I'm writing the review --- the review is because when I sent it back I explained to the waitress that it was old and overcooked because the shells were not only rubbery that it wouldn't even snap but the crab meat stuck to the shell. She looked at me and said yes I know- I'm sorry. Then the owner/manager came over and asked why did I send them back. I told him the same. He then stated loudly MY CRABS ARE NOT OLD THEY ARE FROZEN. I told him it's not the fact that they were frozen they are bad. He then raised his voice and became combative. I told him I honestly do not care the reasoning behind they are not THE BEST SEAFOOD as your sign states... I didn't like them so I sent them back. He continued to state more about his delicious crabs lol... then another person asked for him and said her crab cakes were full of filler and over seasoned. She sent them back. Lol... He then came back and stated to both of us customers that he was paying for both of our meals. I only shook my head and goggled to the other patron. the service he gave was HORRIBLE.. McDonald's has better management than this place. read more

If you like meatloaf that tastes like dog food, oysters that are of poor quality and borderline fresh, mussels that are overcooked. the Old Timer Diner is the right place for you. Waitresses do their best but are clueless and the place is in need of some updates. read more

What a disappointment! Had a taste for crab cakes and I knew from past experience OTD has the best around. Well not anymore! Instead of the crab cakes I'd always gotten packed with crab meat this was packed with breading filler! And on top if that the air must have been broken cause it was warm in the dining room! Very disappointing! read more

I've gotten food delivered from Old Time Diner before and was pleased, but this is the first time I've eaten inside. My friend and I got there at an off hour so things were quiet. The restaurant was very clean and comfortable. They have an absolutely huge menu, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner items, and we both got patty melts. A patty melt is my favorite sandwich and mine was one of the best I've ever had. My friend really liked hers too. My onion rings were super, light and crispy, and she liked her sweet potato fries. At the end of our meal the plates were both clean. And the price was reasonable. The server also was super nice and very friendly. It was an enjoyable meal and we're really looking forward to going back to try some of their other things. read more

Excellent we were a group of 7 and everyone loved their food for the most part we all ate something different.

4 friends went to the OldTime Diner on Friday night. 2 of us had the fish fry, 1 had the Chicken Strips 1 had the Chopped Steak. The food was pretty good- no complaints.,The service however was the worst. The waitress was unfriendly and darn right rude. She yelled at 1 guy when he asked for assistance and we waited for nearly 15 minutes after we finished eating to get our check after asking for it several times., We're all new to the area and it was our first time there, and none of us will return. If she worked for me, I would fire her. If you're someone who likes to be treated with respect and dignity when dining out- DON'T GO To the OLD TIME DINER in Leesburg. read more
