We love R Diner. Have I really never wrote a review here before? Been coming here for years and haven't ever really had a bad experience. The staff and management are great! Friendly, helpful and some are even like family at this point. We love Terri! We always hope to have her as our waitress when we visit. She adores my son and I adore her for it. She actually remembered his birthday last year and gave him cash from her apron. The coffee is always hot and someone is always coming by if you need a refill. I ordered 2 eggs, hashbrowns and toast on my last visit and it's plenty of food! Red hot is already on the table so you don't need to ask for it. My son is simple and gets his chicken and waffles plain. I think ordinarily they come with gravy on them? They open at 7am on Friday, so when we go there it wasn't very busy. Only a handful of booths were filled with regulars - older folks dining alone or with friend's gossiping about the news and things going on in their lives. Pretty chill and lowkey. Music is always random too but it's never anything that bothers me or that I don't like so that's a bonus. read more

What a cute little hometown diner - you walk in and you feel transported to home. The staff is so friendly and knowledgable about the menu. The portions were all huge and the prices were relativley cheap! I got the turkey dinner plate with chicken and dumpling soup - it was delicious! The soup was the star of the show! My mom got a omelet which she also said was good! This will be a staple to hit up anytime I am in monroe - I also would like to add it was full of locals! read more

Great food and great service. This diner has a large menu which can be a read flag for a diner's food quality. However, we have never had a bad meal here. Whether breakfast or lunch, we have had a great dining experience. read more

Great place to eat haven't had a bad meal here yet. Service is always excellent - always greeted with a smile and friendliness - restaurant is always kept clean - table turn is quick even during busy times - good delivery is always within 5-19 mins after ordering without fail - quality if food and ingredients are always top notch - with typical diner fashion quantity of food for the price is always very high - perch was well cooked with juicy flavor taste good hot or cold, tarter sauce has good depth and flavor not your typical bland sauce - omelette was not as juicy as previous ones I've had here but the way it's cooked the ingredients cooked within the eggs is a unique style I've not seen at other places with the cheese folded in the middle, fresh shredded cheese not the bland tasteless sliced cheese used most every other diner a welcome distinction - the ham is sliced deli ham rather than the desired "real" ham cubbed but still good flavor, sausage appears to be a good tasting juicy flavor links cubbed, and bacon is a nice juicy well cooked variation chopped up all together in great quantity providing a quality meat omelette taste with every bite - never just eggs alone either these guys - the potato hash browns in typical diner fashion well cooked and juicy enough flavor profile - the coffee is good here not acidic tasting but also not a unique deep rich coffee I'd wish any great diner like this would consider serving - all in all you can never go wrong when choosing this diner for your finning experience whether it's breakfast, lunch, or diner you will always enjoy a great meal and terrific atmosphere with exceptional service - Bon appetite!! read more

Decided to grab a late lunch at 2:30 pm on a Friday at the parking lot was full! Got seated quickly. Ordered the falafel appetizer with garlic sauce and hummus - very tasty (falafel was a little salty). The pita bread was fresh & soft. Hubby said the chicken fried steak was excellent. Portions are generous. Restaurant is a little older so not much for "a look" and needs a deep clean but overall presentable inside & out. Would definitely come back. Staff was kind read more

The atmosphere the food and the prices were absolutely amazing. Definitely would return.

Took my Mom here this afternoon for brunch. She got the coney combo and I had the grilled chicken salad. I also ordered the stuffed cabbage soup. The food was tasty and the soup was wonderful. I ended up getting an order of the soup to go. Soups are homemade! The salad was good. The chicken breast was a bit flat and dry. The seasoning was good though. The service was great! Very attentive and helpful. They have a typical diner atmosphere here with booths and tables. They were really busy but the wait wasn't bad. The parking lot is a bit small and tight if you have a larger vehicle. read more

Good food and huge portions. You will not leave hungry! Their rice bowls are excellent and they have specials everyday. Dessert menu fills the white board! read more

Had the fish and fries coleslaw yummy. Friday nights if you don't get there eeearly there will be a line. The wait is not long. Enjoy read more

I had the Philly skillet. It was great. Hashbrowns cooked perfectly. Plenty of onions. Lots of steak and melted cheese. 3 dippy eggs on top. English muffin was the final piece of the puzzle. Great service on a busy day. Definitely stop here when you go to Monroe read more

I drive from Toledo to Monroe for lunch with 5 other seniors! We absolutely love this place. Food is always fresh, hot, and home cooked, portions are extremely large and the staff are happy and friendly. We love, love, love this place! Don't hesitate to go....you won't be sorry! read more

It has been awhile since my last visit. They have great soup and fish. Started with a fantastic bowl of clam chowder soup; cross between potato soup and clam chowder with a chicken broth base - very good! For the main course I had the fried walleye with mashed potatoes and gravy which is always consistently fantastic! read more

My husband likes the pizza flip and I like the omelettes and the prices aren't bad either which is a plus

Fabulous diner! Menu was large but not overly burdensome. Lots of interesting choice including a huge Mediterranean selection. We both opted for breakfast. Mine was a pancake, egg, sausage platter. Eggs were cooked perfectly sunny side up. Nice unbroken yolks perfect for dipping. Pancakes were huge and three came in the order. Very fluffy and a little sweet. My friend ordered the steak and eggs which included hash browns and toast. His steak was cooked exactly as he likes, medium well. Tons of hash browns. His three eggs were also cooked to a sunny side perfection, perfect for the toast. Wait staff was all very nice. We had a slightly long wait for a table but the servers kept checking on us. Several coffee refills without having to ask. One of the Mediterranean items was a flaming cheese appetizer. Must be popular because a few people in the restaurant ordered it. The server lights it on fire table side. Was like dinner and a show! read more

Service, food portions, price and taste excellent!!! It was busy but it was a constant roll in of people. The place was clean, our server was super sweet and attentive. Our table had the beef ravioli, Ruben, chicken schwarma wrap. I tasted each of these and all were super yummy. However, the best part of the meal was the chicken noodle soup which was my absolute favorite I've ever had and the ham and bean soup amazing!! Definitely check this place out! Price for all of that was under $60 and the portions were huge!!! read more

Everything is amazing. Service is always on point. Everyone is friendly. I love their omelets And their French dips. Always clean read more

Okay Diner is more correct My family loves it and gets it for brunch but when I'm paying it's Cracker Barrel or Bob Evans or 5th Wheel. Food needs lots of doctoring before eating! Hot sauce, ketchup, chili sauce! Something to make it stand out! read more

Always good food and service. Quality of food is good relative to the cost. Would recommend.

The food is extremely good and I recommend anyone to dine inn a d try there delicious food soups and salad

A solid 4, 4-1/2 if there were 1/2 stars! Let me start with this: DON'T keep driving on by cuz it looks like a small Lil diner. It's got lots of booth space on the inside. And we all love the booth, right? BUT the real reason to stop is the GOOD FOOD! And the smiling happy friendly wait staff makes for an enjoyable meal all around. It was our first time here. But they're batting 1000 on the appetizers. I highly recommend the batter dipped LARGE mushrooms. My mushroom Swiss burger was good. But my wife's pot roast sandwich was GREAT. Super flavorful. I'm not going to tell you the secret...you'll have to come and find out for yourself. read more

R Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Monroe, Michigan

R diner is a good spot to grab quick, cheap eats in Monroe. The menu is extensive, breakfast served all day. There is a large Mediterranean section, if hummus & shawarmas are your thing. I always get something different since there are so many different menu items. The crepes are one of my absolute favorites! Two crepes are served on the plate, stuffed with a sweet cream filling and topped with berries and whipped cream. It's a dessert for a meal. They have good salads, burgers, breakfast, everything. You won't be disappointed. Support local and give R Diner a try! read more

R Diner - House salad add cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Monroe, Michigan

We went to Monroe, Michigan for a wedding. The morning after we wanted a great breakfast, and that's when we found R Diner. I'm glad we did. We walked in and were quickly greeted. We were allowed to sit at any open table, which was great. The server was very friendly and very prompt. She had my coffee to me lickety-split. And kept it full! I was blown away by the portions. I forget the name of the breakfast I enjoyed, but it came with a little bit of everything. It was huge, it was delicious, and it only cost $10.99. You couldn't get half of that for 11 bucks in Las Vegas. My wife had the nachos. She did have kitchen hold the meat...yes, I think that's crazy too. The nachos were very good. They melted actual cheese on the chips versus drowning them in nacho cheese. My wife really enjoyed it. We were very happy with the look and cleanliness of the restaurant, the quality and pricing of the food, and the friendliness and service of the staff. If we would've been in town longer, I'm sure I would enjoyed dinner there, too. If I ever get back to Monroe, Michigan, I know where to eat. read more

Going to Toledo from Detroit, needed a place to eat. A quit web check found this place. It was crowded when we got there. The menu is extensive. I had the Rueben sandwich with fries. The Reuben samminch was great, tons of meat and kraut. The bread was nicely toasted, but wasn't dry at all. The fries were the ultimate. Very crispy outside with pillowy tater underneath. I put some ketchup on the plate, but didn't even use it. They almost seems like they had a batter on them, but I don't think so. Good prices, great service. We were there past closing time and didn't realize it. Who looks at the hours if the door is open? They never said one thing to us to get our butts outta there. Great hopsitality and a gracious apology to the staff. read more

Tasted just like my mom made it....hadn't had forever. You'll definitely leave with a full belly!! I give it 5+ stars!! read more

We found this little diner on our way to the Detroit area while traveling on 75N. If you don't mind the old "diner" style look and food, you will not be disappointed. This place was also packed on a Friday morning and the service was amazing. Staff was very friendly and super quick. Food was hot and really good. It's about 6 miles off the highway but definitely worth the stop if you have the time to sit down. read more

I am a big fan of Greek salads, okay? I just can't not order it when I see it on the menu. Don't question me, it's a rule I live by at this point in life. I saw it on the menu here the first time I visited and it's what I order every time still. First off, this thing is huge. Very fulfilling. No cutting is required for the items in this salad, unlike many other restaurants. I can just dig in. I like that. Also the chicken was DELICIOUS and a nice portion for the additional cost! The pita bread it came with was a little toasted and I like to fill them with the chicken. Perfect combination with the dressing. Omg. I also love the fries here. Just can't go wrong with them. I'm a simple person, I know what I like. And it's the Greek salad with shawarma chicken and a side of fries at R Diner. Also the ladies who work here are just the nicest people. They are always so busy when I go, but despite that they are working so hard to keep up and be kind in the meanwhile. That takes a lot out of you at the end of the day, and such demeanor does not go unnoticed by me. Thank you, you are all simply wonderful people and R Diner is better because of you. read more
