This diner was actually very good. We are not locals but have passed by on a few occasions and also read the reviews. On a recent Saturday at lunch we ordered off the menu. I started with a cup of the ham and bean soup; very good, a bit salty but not to an extreme. My wife ordered a side salad that was well stocked with a variety of greens and vegetables-not a run of the mill boring salad. (The server did not bring it with my soup) My wife asked for the turkey Swiss with no bun and a side of the coleslaw. Since there was nothing to showcase the turkey and melted cheese it was just...turkey and cheese. No fault of the kitchen The coleslaw was creamy and flavorful. Would be surprised if it wasn't homemade. My blue cheese hamburger was excellent. As advertised, the patty was from fresh chuck. Get it with "the works" and it gets a little wonderfully sloppy. The shoestring fries were spot on diner. Other dishes that passed by looked equally appealing and completely filled the plates. Sebring Diner is clean and roomy and stainless. Service was just ok- our server did not clear plates until the end. Definitely will return and try some of the other selections. read more

I need to come back and try something else. I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed. The steak part was great. The white gravy had no taste. The mashed was cold and also had no taste. I rate a three because others at our table ordered delicious looking sandwiches that I will come back and try. I'd like to try the breakfast one morning after reading several reviews. My advice, don't get anything with the white gravy until it's seasoned better. read more

Delicious when it comes to the food, from the appetizer to the desserts. Really nice place for the family and big groups.

Came back to Sebring for a class reunion and came in for breakfast. The ham, cheese, and mushroom omelette was fantastic! Great service from the moment you walk in the door. It may be a few years before visiting again but will definitely come here for breakfast! read more

Best diner I've been to. Clean, good service and food quality above the diner moniker. Chicken fried steak, baked potato, and open face turkey all very well prepared. Served with creamy butter and delicious corn muffin. Priced very cheaply. read more

Wow yummy ! No frozen cysco burgers here ! The patty melt was deliciously juicy without being greasy, the rye was crispy. The nutty melted swiss went great with the perfectly cooked medium rare patty which was seasoned ! That you chef, for salting the burgers ! read more

Love this place!!!! So glad they stay open all night. Great selection and variety of foods. Best Fried Green Tomatoes. Friendly staff, very clean and great portion sizes. Parking is great too read more

We have eaten here many times and the food is always good and at a good price. Tonight the club sandwich, which is loaded with turkey, ham and bacon, the ham was so salty, it ruined the sandwich. read more

Sebring, Florida. Passed it on a previous trip through here and I'm thinking maybe we should have passed it by this time as well. The parking lot is always full so I reasoned that it must be spectacular. It was good, but not that memorable. We had standard breakfast fare: a western omelete and an order of griddle cakes. The emphasis seems to be on huge size but quality suffers somewhat. Good service, but not great. We kept comparing today's breakfast with the out-of-this-world breakfast we had the day before in Fort Lauderdale, and the Sebring Diner came up short. read more

Eating at the diner with three couples. I had chicken and grape salad. Very good and almost more than I could eat. Others said their food was excellent. Plenty of doggie bags. read more

Food, excellent; portions large; wait staff ok; hostess RUDE and uncaring and ignored us after telling us to "wait a few minutes" and was again Rude . Otherwise things were ok read more

Great fried green tomatoes! Yum. I also tried the biscuits and gravy and was pleased! Lots of clans in the clam basket. Everything was hot and fresh without a long wait. Price was right too. read more

See all

Fast service, friendly staff, great food! Ham & bean soup is excellent! Key lime pie is awesome

Food was ok nothing to rave about, the place could use a good cleaning the pendent lights were dirty and so were the blinds, ant poison sitting on the sill by our booth not very appealing. Won't be in any hurry to return! read more

Excellent service especially during hurricane Irma. Good food and it's reasonable. My kid dropped some food without noticing and they told her not to stand up till they clean it up so she doesn't fall. Our waitress told us how to get here the back way from Miami! Awesome! read more

Since the diner went to 24/7 meals both the food & Service have gone downhill. Employee work 12 hr shifts & seem over worked. Stopped for dinner after several months, the daily special was just terrible. Waitress didn't seem to care. I will not go back it was the third time over the last year and the Food was never really great. read more

Ordered the short stack chocolate chip pancakes with a side of bacon. Both cooked perfectly, pancakes weren't overly chocolates, just the right amount. Sucks they don't do unlimited refills on sodas since they sell them by the can. Wait time for service was average. Staff very pleasant. Kinda loud atmosphere- between the guests and staff talking, and someone very loudly stacking dishes, you couldn't hear any music, not even sure if they had any. read more

The food is decent and the prices are relative to the area. The service has need of improvement. We waited for quite a while before anyone noticed or asked to seat us. I never got a refill on coffee or drinks. An okay place if you have time and want low price, sub average food and little to no service. read more

Food and service are both good - we have been many times for breakfast and dinner. Blueberry pancakes are great, Greek omelette, and patty melts are good too. Today we had a patty melt that comes with soup and coleslaw for $5.99 add fries for an additional $1.00 read more

We're local to the area and the Diner is one of our go-to favorites. The only reason I didn't give it a full five stars is that they close at 3pm daily. I would understand if they closed early in the off season, but it would seem they would have plenty of customers for dinner in the winter. We're less than 50 yrs old and sometime like to have dinner a little later than mid-afternoon! Both my wife and I have tried many different items there and I don't think we've ever been disappointed. Tuna salad is awesome, chicken and grape salad is great, sandwiches (reubens, cubans, clubs, etc) are delicious, chef salads (homemade blue cheese dressing), caesar salads, fried green tomatoes...I could go on, we've tried many items and have always left more than satisfied. I always find it very clean, the service is attentive and it really has a true Diner vibe. I grew up in NJ, so I feel like I know Diners pretty well. If you're in town, it's worth the visit and the wait during the busy hours. read more

Nostalgic feel- food has great potential, but poorly seasoned. This is a great place for elderly clients that require bland food.

Nothing to write home about, they're cheap but you get what you pay for. They messed up on my friends order first thing and their idea of certain sandwiches isn't my idea. read more

One of the best places to eat in Sebring. Very charming restaurant with excellent food. Have the crispy fish and send me a thank you card.

Came down to visit family and got hungry, found this cute diner. we walked in thinking it was going to be great food like every diner I been too, but I have to say the food was disgusting I kinda had to force myself to eat it Because almost all my family did not like what they where eating. And i didn't really want to put all the att. on us. Only the kids liked their food cuz it was fried food! Thumbs down on this place! I have to say one positive our waitress was nice but wish I didn't have to pay for the $14 steak :( read more

My last review of 3 stars on 10/7/14, needs a big downgrade. The quality of what they are serving has dropped IMHO. I ordered a country fried steak dinner on 12/1/17, which was just awful. It use to consist of two good sized and tasting pre-made patties, but no longer. They've had some brain storm about making their own "homemade" items. In theory, a nice idea, but the end result should be better food. What was on my plate was the toughest piece of trash I've ever been served, being called a country fried steak. There is a steakhouse in Lake Wales which makes their own, and it's great. So homemade can work, if someone there can actually cook. Even the now homemade corn muffin was awful. While the diner looks inviting from it's appearance, do your palate a favor and keep driving. read more

It was a nice clean diner and had good food. 2 of us had the pot roast which was a really large amount of food and very tender. 1 had the pastrami which was good but certainly not as large as the ones you find in NYC. Another had a deli sandwich and added the onion rings, which again was a really large portion size. The onion rings are very wide so if you like the "skinnier" style onion rings then these are not for you. Good place to stop if you are in the Sebring/Lake Wales area and prices are very reasonable. read more

classic diner fare and all done right. the lines are long but seats a plenty so it moves fast. breakfast, lunch, dinner never been a disappointment. great friendly staff and comfort diner grub! read more

This was a nice experience with a knowledgeable and friendly wait staff. Had the egg sandwich and really enjoyed it. We will stop in again soon. read more

Food was decent - the sandwiches are very good! People, staff and other customers, were extremely friendly. Great value overall, and plenty of parking. read more

Best place in town with a wide variety of menu items. If your a coffee lover this is the place to go. Best breakfast in Highlands County and a nice place to meet up with friends. We've been there for breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Sometimes you may have to wait in line but it's well worth the wait. read more

Both the service and atmosphere were delightful. . .the pancakes as heavy as rocks. Perhaps it was an off day?

Great old fashioned diner food. Good prices and portions.

Hi. I work at the Sebring Diner and the bad reviews are a shame. We (the staff) all try our best to accommodate everyone but you can't please everyone. We ask that you tell your waitress if something is wrong so we can fix it or change your order. The time to complain is not at the register when we can't do anything to fix it and the time to complain is especially not after you have eaten everything on your plate. The owners are the same for the last 8 years and are lovely people to work for. We get thousands of customers a week with 90 percent happy customers. No one's perfect, no place is perfect, but you can be assured we try to be. We want our customers happy. Also, we strive to give good service, the kitchen staff strives to put out great food. Our food is awesome. I eat there everyday - I should know. Thanks for listening. :) read more

My mother and I love their chicken salad. It's to die for. It comes with a delicious muffin. We eat there for lunch about once a week. Service is always great and very friendly. read more
