We eat at Spillway Diner for breakfast and love the food and service. The stuffed hash browns are my usual go to. The staff is friendly and makes you feel welcome. read more

Seem to be going through several cooks lately some good some bad may need time to get some training done. Service is always good but stretched to keep up Food in the past has been really good maybe when they get the cook issues settled it will be good again read more

The food is always fresh and great flavor. The pancakes are super fluffy and taste homemade. The server was very attentive and was friendly. This is my second time visiting and will not be my last. Parking is limited so be ready to wait if there is a crowd. But it is worth the wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a smaller diner so be comfortable with being close to your neighbors sitting next to you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall great breakfast and lunch spot. read more

Spillway Diner - Pancakes platter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brandon, Mississippi

They cannot keep help they allow their help to use drugs while on the clock. and they do not ever use their operate hours you'll see them close all the time supposed to be open till two. They barely make it to noon not steady hours. read more

We have visited Spillway diner numerous times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We really like the restaurant, it has a typical diner look, it's clean inside and the food is good basic "Diner" food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is very hardworking though often they are overwhelmed ( that's not a bad sign as it usually reflects how popular they are). Pricing is very fair. Parking can be a challenge as they are in a strip mall on Old Fannin Rd near Spillway Rd. If you are looking for an old fashioned diner experience give them a try. read more

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and the pancake photos I've seen from Spillway Diner always had me salivating. So I decided to make the long drive after church to try them. I'm the type of person who looks at a menu and decide what I want well before I go, yet get to a place and look at the menu again like I might change my mind. Did the same thing today but went ahead and ordered the buttermilk pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. While waiting on my food, my coffee, when it came out, had the aroma of liquid gold (yeah I don't know what gold smells like but I imagine it was this). I so enjoyed my coffee. I equally enjoyed my food, which came out quickly. I like restaurants that use real and not liquid eggs. I could tell the grill was seasoned as my eggs required no seasoning. The bacon was good. Would have preferred it just a tad more crispy but it wasn't a deal breaker for me. The pancakes are like the kind my granny used to make. Fluffy in the middle with crispy edges. I could only eat one as I ate the bacon and eggs first and was full! Service was good. I believe the manager was my server. He was good. I am so glad I made the trip to try them. They messed around and gave me one of those frequent diner punch cards. So now I feel like I owe it to them to earn that free meal lol! -- at Spillway Diner. read more

I had the bone-in pork chop platter grilled, offered fried as well). (+2 eggs and crispy hashbrowns) They were cooked to perfection and seasoned just right! I am sensitive to salt and they were perfect! The owner and other staff are very friendly. It's obviously a place locals go and is disguised as a gas station dive but is so much more! The buttery toast is thick cut and plenty of jelly in the table. The coffee was good too! We will be back! read more

Spillway Diner - Yummy! Pork chop breakfast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brandon, Mississippi

Love this place! Service is friendly, food always good. We try to go at least once a week.

First and foremost, I need to mention the coffee - it's really good diner coffee. Too often I've gotten burnt or weak or just outright bad coffee at diners, but the coffee at Spillway is solid. The menu has all the typical breakfast staples and lots of options to satisfy just about anyone. I went with the Super Bacon and Cheese Omelette with a side of hashbrowns and a biscuit. The omelette was packed full or crispy bacon quite tasty, but the hashbrowns were very so so. The star of my meal ended up being the biscuit. I don't even typically eat biscuits, but this one was fresh, warm, flaky, and scrumptious. Probably the best biscuit I've ever had. The prices are reasonable and the service is fast and friendly too. read more

Spillway Diner - Super Bacon and Cheese Omelet, Crispy Hashbrowns, biscuit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brandon, Mississippi

YUCK! Stop eating nasty food. Terrible tasting food with an after taste in every bite. I ordered the bacon burger with added egg that was gross. The burger was big for no reason it was bland and hard. The bread was sweet like a pastry. Their country fried steak is store bought! What's with so many restaurants in the area buying store bought food? Nothing is made in house, to be called a diner. I realize why they aren't busy. Mostly new customers who don't return and set in their way old customers who are used to the bland overcooked food. Sweetheart server. No compliment for the cook for messing up my food! Look at those ugly, to fat oil logged fries read more

Spillway Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brandon, Mississippi

Ordered breakfast to split with someone. We got about 2/3 of the eggs we ordered and the meat was so dry and overcooked it was almost inedible. (Translation for MS folks: "dang near couldn't be et") read more

Great food! Great Customer service! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good atmosphere,[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] wanted a little more portion size but overall it was filling. read more

Loved breakfast! Staff were hustling to get food to the tables quickly. Even though it was busy, the servers and cooks were very kind and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is similar to Waffle House, but seemingly more customer service oriented and with more space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were visiting the area and went there twice. The experience was the same each time. A+ read more

Unassuming place with reflective windows at the end of a gas station. Service was so pleasant and the portions were huge. Great spot for casual breakfast. Felt like a diner and the menu made it hard to decide what to get. Our waitress was helpful in breaking the ties We would go back! read more

The service was only ok... the food was good. I can tell their usual customers are used to the scattered service model- that was a bit off putting to us. But we wanted to try something different so we figured why not. We ordered breakfast & coffees. The food was good but again we did find the service lacking and the place could use a good once over. read more

I'm hungry this morning. Been up since 3am, so I'm craving literally everything!! Got a 10oz ribeye, medium rare, sunny side up eggs, hashbrowns, and biscuit. This steak was thick cut, and probably the best steak I've had at a diner. Steak was cooked perfectly, meat was tender, nice sear, it just needed a pinch of Salt, but overall pleasantly surprised. Diner steaks are usually like tire rubber, I still order it anyway lol read more

Nice little spot to grab a bite. It's clean, waitstaff is always there for you, and the food isn't bad at all.

First time to eat here. We had breakfast, the menu here is quite large, service is fast and friendly, [[HIGHLIGHT]]this was the absolute best "Diner" experience we've had in this area[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], we've driven by countless times and really just missed it. Great food and plenty of it. If you haven't tried these folks you are really missing something. Prices are reasonable, especially for the amount of food you get. They also have takeout and delivery. 5 easy stars from me ! Give Spillway Diner a try ! You won't regret it. read more

Heading home from Oxford and we found this little diner on Yelp. If you want comfort food straight out of your childhood memories - go here. The booth tables are fairly large, so I was comfy with 3 large fellas. The decor is classic, retro diner - picture flashy tin, mismatched colors, and silver-edged tables. The vents and floors could probably be a little cleaner but I'm telling you this... you. will. not. care. The burger is to die for!!! The homemade French fries will make you want to set-up new residence and leave the complicated world behind. This is the best you'll get as far as diners go in MS (and we have many). Take the 10-15 minute detour. It's worth it! read more

Spillway Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brandon, Mississippi

Decided to give this local place a taste for lunch. Our server Shiretha ?sp? was excellent. Very friendly and kept us up to date on our order as they were having issues with one of the fryers. Only issue we had was the fried chicken was over cooked. Will definitely be back to try their breakfast. read more

Burgers are the shit! Always come here for my cheeseburger! Swing by now my all time favorite place for my burgers. Ask for the drip away burger its not on the menu. Tell em how you heard about it so they know you know. The pickles alone will get you hooked. Ask for a beer instead of orange juice. Thank you nancy for letting me try this delicious gem. read more

Food was amazing, my kids loved the waffles. Our service was impeccable. The price to food ratio was amazing.

Had the MVP breakfast with country ham. Food arrived hot and fresh . Grits were smooth and creamy, ham cooked perfect,hash browns loaded veggie in the hash browns cooked perfect not to crunchy nor too soft . The breakfast was on point . Service was fast and efficient. Quiet place and good food to get your day started . Will recommend 10 out of 10 !!!!! read more

Great breakfast. Bring your appetite. It would seem to be hard to screw up breakfast but so many places do. Spillway does it right. I measure a breakfast place by their hashbrowns. These were just right. The sausage gravy was excellent. Wait staff was spot on, they even held the door open to let in someone in a wheelchair. Good portions at a reasonable price. We even got a senior discount which has a downside since I didn't ask for it - I just look old now. Anyway I will be back. read more

Spillway Diner - Three eggs, hashbrowns, country ham and biscuits w/gravy. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brandon, Mississippi

The chicken and dumplings are a JOKE. They use canned chicken, and the dumplings had a sour taste to them. I've ordered other items from here before in the morning and it's been good. First time ordering in the evening, and it wasn't good at all. read more

Standard diner fare. Good assortment of veggies. Good service. Pleasant staff. Old fashion diner ambiance.

It's just right. Country fried steak-- tender, crispy and perfectly seasoned. Eggs anyway you want. Fluffy fat biscuits. Pancakes the way they oughta be plus a whole menu of other stuff that should make anyone of any age satisfied. Bring the kids and grandpa. Screens play happy cartoons, the music playlist is mood altering and the staff is spot on attentive without being over the top sticky sweet. I'll return with the bottomless-pit-of-a-stomach son in law next time and he'll love me for it. read more

What a wonderful surprise of a place!!! The staff and cooks are all extremely friendly and the food is the best of diner food! Omelets are huge, super-fluffy and stuffed to the brim. The gravy is delectable and even the coffee tastes great! This locally owned establishment is a real stand-out. Highly recommend it if you are looking for a great breakfast place... read more

This place is low key and super delicious. Very easy going environment; the manager, server, and customers are all super nice. The food is fantastic. I will be back here often. read more

Best food, service, and small town atmosphere around. My family and I choose Spillway Diner above any other breakfast restaurant. You won't be disappointed. read more

service and food has improved drastically over the past 6 months. i was personally served by the server and they provided top notch service, very nice and attentive. the Ambiance was also very homey and "diner" like. love this place!! read more

Wife and I had breakfast this morning. First impression I think this was an old huddle house. Walked in and the place wasn't that clean, could see food scraps on the floor, no they weren't busy. Waitress was nice, not sure she really knew the menu. She offered an item that was already included in what I ordered. Food came out missing the grits, they ran out of grits and it's 9am, they did make more. First offering I didn't touch cook came over and said let me get rid of those, I have some fresh cooking now. By the time they came out looking much better, I was almost done eating, I put a little syrup on the waffle and took one bite, was like eating cardboard. For me not sure I'd return, maybe for lunch one day. No breakfast for me. Wife had an omelet she said it was good. Do your research and make you own decisions! I thought breakfast was an OK- . read more

staff was so sweet she went out of her way to sure we were okay ! food was fast and AMAZING

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day so I tend to be a little more critical of a restaurant that specializes in breakfast dishes. The first thing you notice is the variety of the menu choices. If you can't find something you want I'd be surprised. Well a picky five year old, my granddaughter, had that problem. That didn't phase the waitress. She asked what she did want and said, "I can get that for you." she earned her tip right then. I ordered Fish and Grits. A bowl of grits smothered in Crawfish Julie topped with two huge catfish fillets. It was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Around the table we had biscuits and gravy, an omelet, pecan pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage. Everyone complimented the taste and the serving sizes guaranteed no one left hungry. Most of the breakfast dishes come with enough sides to feed a platoon. All for very reasonable prices. And kids eat free, even picky eaters like my granddaughter. Our waitress was very attentive but without being intrusive. That is an art itself. This is a breakfast worthy of a road trip. I know I plan to go back some day and we live four hours away. read more

Excellent food, service, and prices. Everything on the menu looks wonderful. The western omelette was great and and so were the biscuits and tomato gravy. Locally owned and worth the wait during a rush. read more

Disappointed in service. I have been going to this location for years even when it was Huddle House. We had to ask for coffee refills and the place was almost empty. Our order took too long, people that came in 10 minutes after us were served their food several minutes before us. Will not go back. Lots of people serve breakfast. read more

First of all, black customers beware, stay away from this establishment. The owner was veryyyyyyyyyyy rude and disrespectful. It was my turn to be waited on and I asked the white male with glasses if he could check on my 'to go order.' He lost it and said, it's going to be a 15 minute wait. The thing is, the order had already been placed, I was there to just pick it up. I saw an order on the counter and was trying to ask if that was my order. When I tried to ask him to check, he said rather rudely, I know it's not your order. By that time, things escalated, he got in my personal space. I asked him to get out of my personal space. He then says, 'well you can just leave.' I asked him who he was and he stated he was the manager. I left and cursed back by calling him an a..s hole. read more

Driven past here many times but never stopped. Glad I did. Best Breakfast I've had in some time. Great staff, great service, great food. Well done read more

I ordered the 10 oz ribeye with regular fries and sweet potato fries. When I received my order the fries that were there were only the sweet potato fries and no regular fries, but they were all burnt beyond repair, so ultimately they were inedible. The "Texas toast" was just a soggy wet mess. So those two items had to just be tossed. As for the steak, which I ordered medium rare was a totally greasy hot mess. Even on a bad day, this food was so very inexcusable, inedible, unacceptable. I would have taken a picture of the food, but honestly, 90% of it was thrown away. If I could have given this place a negative-5 stars I would have. It was not worth the money I paid AT ALL. I absolutely DO NOT recommend this place for any meal. That was money lost on that. But maybe this review will save this review reader the same experience, and disappointment and not the $$ lost or bad taste in their mouth. Run, don't walk away from this dumpster fire of a restaurant read more
