We were visiting this area for a wedding and tried this diner out since it looked like the perfect local diner. Claire was our waitress and she was FANTASTIC!!! Gave us great recommendations and was so personable for our table. The food was outstanding (omelette, hash brown sandwich, French toast, rock and roll special) and coffee was great too with good refills. We love you Clare- what a fun day!!! read more

Always great service no matter how busy they are. Claire and Bev are awesome. Biscuits and gravy are the best. Wife likes the hashbrowns extra crispy and they come out perfect every time read more

The food was great, the portions were huge, the staff was really sweet. Can't believe it's taken us so long to try this place. My husband got the cinnamon roll french toast with a side of hashbrowns. I ordered the biscuits and gravy (HUGE) and a side of potatoes. We left with 3 boxes of leftovers. We will be back! read more

Stopped at Our Diner on a whim. Typical (if there is such a thing) American diner. Everyone working there came over to chat to us at some point. So friendly! Even other patrons were chatty and friendly. A great vibe. We both had regular breakfasts - huge portions. And then to top it off I had a strawberry rhubarb pie and ice cream. Again, excellent. I'd go back! read more

Great Diner. Fast friendly service. Breakfast food the way it was when you were a kid and went to breakfast after church with your grandpa. The plate is full. The Hollandaise sauce on the Eggs Benedict is ample. The eggs properly poached. The service is provided with a friendly smile. The hallmark of small town charm. I'd go out of my way to come back. read more

What a GREAT little diner. Literally the best onion rings in Whatcom County. This place is a must try for the breakfast and lunch crowd. My only wish is that they were open for dinner, too. read more

I had several folks rave about this Diner and today was the day to try it. No waiting for a table and it's a cute little diner with mainly Breakfast and Sandwiches/Burgers some Seafood and Steaks. I was kinda hoping for traditional diner food like meatloaf and maybe a Blue Plate Special but it is what it is. Husband ordered the Biscuits & Gravy with Over Easy Eggs and I got the Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs with Home Fried potatoes and a biscuit. The server said the biscuits were delicious and being a Southern woman, who knows how to make good biscuits, I was hopeful. The plates came out quickly and full. The biscuit I ordered was on a separate plate, it was cut square, like cornbread; biscuits are round. The Over Easy eggs were served upside down, who does that? The Home Fries were just potatoes, no onions or seasoning. I will just say we were both extremely disappointed in the choices. The Chicken Fried Steak was excellent and the Service was great. We may go back for lunch food but the jury is out at the moment. read more

Omg I cannot believe I haven't posted anything for The Diner yet. Ugh! We lived in this area a good two years before "discovering " it. We drove by it every day and there is minimal signage, very small building and a mostly gravel parking lot but do not let this deter you!! Love a big old fashioned breakfast? Love grilled sandwiches, burgers, fries, large salads? You must come check with place out. It's tiny , yes but this diner has huge heart! On most Saturdays and Sundays, Bev and Claire are the the two waitresses and even if the line is out the door, they always have a smile for you or a little humor! Everyone works as a team (a lot of places could take a lesson in teamwork from Bev and Claire). Best BLT I ever had was right here! This place is breakfast and lunch only! Check the hours before you go as they sometimes change slightly. It can get very busy but it never takes very long and well worth the wait. Great drip coffee. What else? They have pies (but I have never tried them). Between everyone in our family we have probably ordered all the breakfast and lunch entries many times over and it's all good! This is where the locals go and tourists no worries, you will feel like you belong so stop on by! read more

Great service and very good food that comes out fast! I would recommend this place to anybody. Two thumbs up.

This little gem is amazing!!! Worth the drive from the highway. Grandmas biscuit and gravy that just make you melt. This is the place! The service was fast! Bonus ladies run this place. That's right! These ladies are amazing! If your in the area come show these ladies some love. read more

Best diner in Bellingham (well, just outside bellingham!) Thank you for always being fun and friendly and putting out the most delicious breakfasts! read more

Food, service and ambiance were really good, but the best part was the non-tourist, local vibe. Yes, it was four miles off of I5 but it was worth the detour. I highly recommend this place. read more

It was extremely greasy. My wife couldn't eat her pancakes because they tasted like the grill (bacon sausage eggs) i got the home made corn beef hash. It was okay and kind of weird. The meat didn't really look like corned beef and the cook just uses the home fries for the potato, I always thought the potato should be really small. The only good thing was the hash brown serving was so large I could make myself breakfast with it the next day. I hate giving poor reviews but this place didn't live up to expectations. The staff was very nice though. read more

We wanted to support "Our Diner" during their open hours during the coronavirus pandemic. I had their special of the day, chicken fried steak, and my wife had the bacon cheese burger with potato salad. It was all wonderful. The CFS came with mashed potatoes, plenty of gravy, and vegetable/corn and a dinner roll with butter. PERFECT! I'll be back as soon as possible! If you haven't tried "Our Diner" in Laurel on the Guide Meridian, you're missing out! read more

Finally, the very best breakfast happening in Whatcom county! The local clientele looked like extras from Mayberry RFD. They were cheerful and neighborly. Everybody seemed to be having a blast. I felt like i had stepped back to the 1950s. I am truly jazzed. It is my absolute tip top spot...so boss. Cool cat sounds on the jukebox. Cast an eyeball on the walls and you'll get a giggle. I posted pics of some of the funny signs. Let's start with coffee. I'm not talking eight o'clock from ***mart. I'm talking that it tastes like it has been roasted and ground within the last week instead of coffee shop coffee that has one wondering if it was canned within the last year. It was smooth and flavorful....freshly brewed medium roast without a hint of acidity or bitterness. The refills and toppers kept coming. It was more barista and less Denny's. The breakfast menu had everything you could expect for the scene. Hash browns were nice and crisp on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. All the food was stellar. Okay, incredibly picky, I would have loved to have been offered rye toast instead of white. But hey, its a 50's style diner and white bread was the scene. I've learned in Whatcom county not to order eggs benedict if I don't know if they can poach an egg. I don't want to add insult to injury with bad hollandaise on a hard boiled egg. I ordered two poached eggs asking that the yolks being cooked runny and the white be completely cooked. Voila...perfection. Next time I'm willing to gamble on the least expensive eggs benny I've seen in a decade. Check out the desserts....fountain favorites and fresh made pies. My friends were stoked with their killer shakes. I'm flipping over the whole scene.... can't wait to be back in this orbit. Maybe I'll give it a shot for lunch. Loved loved loved it. One thing to know that is posted - the hot water in the can is really hot! Don't send in the rug rats without warning them. read more

Our new favorite breakfast diner, right in Laurel. Great food, large portions and the service is exceptional. Having a mushroom, bacon, cheese omelet with a side of their yummy blueberry pancakes. Splitting this order with my son and we still can't finish all of it. read more

This place is a hidden gem!! Was looking for a quick spot and after looking at food picks, decided to try them out. Small place (seats maybe 50) but the place had a warm feeling (and it's not from the kitchen) Simple menu with average pricing. Got Country Fried Steak breakfast, Chicken Salad, and omelet with hash brown. The place is deceiving! Didn't expect much but "Look can be deceiving!" It blew me away on plate size (BIG and filling) it felt like a family business and "I love supporting family run businesses!" The kitchen was run by only 2 people but "Can they push out the food!" Better than IHOP or Denny's in my opinion. read more

This diner is so cute! The decor and styling are perfect for a 50's diner. The food is incredible - you get lots of it and it's yummy! And the service is just as top notch. The value is good, if maybe cheap for what you get! What a great recommendation from my aunt. Best breakfast is Whatcom County! read more

This is my all time favorite diner in whatcom county! I've been going here with my dad for years. Our Diner serves exemplary food in large proportions, and at a low cost. Not to mention the service is truly one of a kind. Genuine waitresses who have worked there for over a decade really top this place off. Always making customers feel important and comfortable. read more

Hands down best local breakfast joint! Fast, friendly service! Thank you Bev and Claire!

The food was delicious!! Definitely worth the wait. Service was a little slow but it was a packed house.. but our server kept our coffee cups full. I would recommend this place for sure. We usually don't drive out this far but I'm so glad we did and I'm glad birchdoor was packed otherwise we would not have found this place! They also give generous plates!! you will not leave hungry! read more

Cute little diner, stuff is really friendly and the whole atmosphere is really homey. Will definitely be back.

Love the atmosphere and the food! Excellent service. This is our favorite place to eat breakfast.

This place is great. I almost don't want to leave a review so it doesn't get too crowded. The breakfast is so amazing I've never ordered any of their lunch items. I eat here as often as my wife lets me read more

Love this diner. Food is alway fresh and delicious. The quantity and quality is awesome. The service is the best and always makes you feel welcome. It is great going inside and seeing all the nostalgia decorated inside. read more

Heard rave reviews from family so finally tried it and wasn't impressed. Babes old place was ALWAYS spot on no matter who was cooking; sadly I think the cook yesterday 6/17 was not up to par. Bacon was SOOOOOO salty couldn't even gage it down, hash browns were as dry as a parched desert, over medium eggs were almost hard not as runny as should be for yoke. Cinnamon rolls is NOT what you think of when you think cinnamon roll. It was dry and gross like airy bread instead of a cinnamon roll. Biscuits were just okay but the gravy had GREAT flavor. So sadly I would rate the decor, staff friendliness well above the food. Would like to try the burgers but not sure after this bad experience. read more

Our first time there and what a treat. Large plates, reasonably priced. These folks know how to cook; eggs were perfectly over medium, the sausage links had that nice snap, bacon was perfection and pancakes were delicious to the last bite. The staff was friendly and the decor was retro themed. We will most definitely be repeat customers. read more

Stopped in for breakfast this morning. I enjoyed my biscuits and gravy, nice portion and not too salty. The other people in my party enjoyed their meals as well. Service was friendly although we waited a long time for our food, probably because of the small size of the grill in the kitchen. (The kitchen is visible to the public and the cook was really only able to cook one order at a time.) The reason for the mediocre score lies in the lack of overall cleanliness in the restaurant and the fact that the cook was wearing flip flops in the kitchen, not safe and although I'm sure it had nothing to do with hygiene, because her feet probably never came in contact with the food, it was still rather gross. read more

This place is a breakfast MUST! A little hole in the wall off the guide. Super cute old school diner decorating. It was busy but we got a table right away. Definitely try the eggs Benedict they where so good! The prices are great the waitress was prompt and very nice. The portions are very big and the prices are low and the food was so good. We even had left overs! Not fancy by any means but if you want a big down home breakfast this is your place! read more
