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.

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.

The migas part of my plate was delicious(price on menu to add meat to the item was less than the what was charged on the receipt). The breakfast potatoes for 2 of us that ordered them were DRY, over seasoned, and COLD. Obviously it was brunch being served but the potatoes were not fresh. Not pictured was a hamburger with sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were overly salty, but they gladly made a fresh batch with no salt. This was our 3rd time here and probably our last. The first 2 times were amazing but now not worth the time to drive here or the $ for less than stellar food and service. There was nobody at the hostess station and several separate groups of people left after not being seated. Our bill was $74-ish for 4 meals. Pepperoni pizza was not worth the $17 and was not tasty. We had 3 waters and 1 iced tea.

My wife is from Georgia and always critiques the grits wherever she goes and says they aren't authentic. And she loved these grits! I especially loved the sliced ham! It was excellent!

Over the years, They have added grilled items that are quite tasty, but Ima go for the fried anything along with mashies, baked beans, etc. The chicken and dumplings are heaven on earth anytime of the year. Prices are decent, considering the economy these days. If you dine in, there's staff that are happy to help you get your grub to the table, will make sure you have butter and honey for the fluffy buns, and smile no matter how busy it gets. Leaving a buck or 2 is not expected, but a nice gesture for their efforts. Blanca sez check'em out!

The love the venue it's in. Basically It's Dallas community college food court but it's great to grab a bite and read a book, study or meet a long lost friend. The food does take a minute to come out. Your better off bringing a Nintendo switch or watching a full length movie cause baby they are SLOW. Now the taste of the food. The pork chops were spot on but the sides were a little heavy handed with salt. Wait time and salty sides took two stars away.

And that's the difference between an four-star greasy spoon and a three-star one. The folks working there! My grandmother loves this place because the chicken fried steak is not really a steak per se. It's very tender. But it's way better than one you'd get at some fast food joint. And the sides are pretty dang awesome. I had a stuffed bell pepper with hominy (which was super fantastic), blackeyed peas and mac-n'cheese. That's how the lunch special works. You get an entree and three whopping sides with homemade rolls. This place can't compete with your gourmet comfort food joints, but as far as diner food goes, this place is near Barbec's. If I were just basing it on food I would have thrown a three-star review out there, but the staff was just over the top great. My one itty bitty complaint is that it's in Mesquite which still allows smoking in their restaurants. We were in the non-smoking section, but I could still smell it. After a few minutes it didn't bother me as much but I'm spoiled by the Dallas ordinance. Otherwise this was a great place to grab birthday lunch with my grandmother.
