My wife and I travel often for ministry and joy. We are frequent "go out to eat" folks and know good food, good service and good prices when we see them. The Diner is all three of these in the same area with many others who have so-so food, sketchy service, and super high prices. We had Maria who served us at the counter and she was authentically friendly & welcoming, super accurate on our preferences, and impressively fast in bringing out the entrees. The food - good & plenty. We will definitely be back here to eat again as we are staying near Sea World and International Boulevard. Don't let this be a "hidden gem" to you! read more

Visited @ The Diner for a quick Orlando trip and I had an incredibly pleasant experience. The service and food were both equally impressive. I ordered the Papa's Burrito w/ egg, cheese, and avocado. I asked for extra fluffy scrambled eggs and they delivered perfection as the eggs were light and moist. This dish also comes with a side of potatoes. Additionally, my friend and I split a singular Boston Cream pancake and it was heavenly layered with vanilla custard, Nutella, whipped cream, and powdered sugar; perfect if you have a sweet tooth and/or are craving something good! I also got an iced vanilla latte on the side that really hit the spot. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're in Orlando, esp loading up before going to Disney. read more

You know the place is good when you have to wait 30 min to an hour to be seated. I took my husband out for brunch the day before Father's Day and the restaurant was packed but so worthy! He loved it so much that is our brunch spot now! read more

Cute place. Very clean and well maintained. There was ample seating available as we walked in pretty early and got a table within five minutes of our arrival. Service was quick, courteous and efficient. We had the Vanilla cappuccino, regular American coffee, two eggs combo and an Avocado Tomato toast. The food was good and the portions were quite filling. It's a little on the pricey side compared to regular breakfast places but the food also isn't entirely average diner fare either. A fancier take on diner breakfast and nicely done. We'll be returning. read more

I ordered a hot chocolate with extra whipped cream- a must for me at any diner. The hot chocolate was classic and they were generous with the whipped cream. I ordered a BLT with cheese, they forgot the cheese on the BLT, but added extra cheese to the macaroni and cheese. It was loud in there, so I didn't care too much about the mix up. There was also this absolutely delicious sauce on the sandwich, maybe a garlic aioli?? I'm not sure, but it was great! The BLT was huge and the bacon was not too crispy, not too soft- just right. The macaroni and cheese side was extra cheesy and very yummy. My friends asked for water, and they only brought out 2; we were a party of 5. We asked for water for the rest of us; later during the meal they asked if the water was good- which was a little weird. The food was good over all. read more

This is a pretty new cafe. The food was great and the service was very attentive. It is very clean and inviting. I ordered their chicken and biscuits with sausage gravy. I had my gravy on the side so that I could control the amount I ate. Plus, I wanted to be able to taste the chicken and not just gravy. The chicken was very crispy, but very juicy and flavorful. The biscuit was fluffy and good. They put a piece of chicken on a half of a biscuit so you don't get a full biscuit with your chicken. You do get 4 good pieces of chicken though. read more

First of all, there is nothing better than breakfast food. Second, there is nothing better than designing your OWN breakfast combo. We went months ago and still think about it. The staff was helpful, the service was quick, and the Diner is a return-to destination! read more

Incredible brunch at @ The Diner visiting a friend. The standard waits are 45-60 minutes and the place is packed but you get a link to see how long you have been waiting, how long the people ahead of you have each been waiting and you can watch the progress. It was SO worth it and we loved everything. The hollandaise was amazing. The service was super friendly, there are SO many options and we even grabbed an extra red velvet waffle to go. read more

Heading back from a cruise, we wanted a breakfast for the road, and discovered this diner. On a Saturday at 9, it was packed! I love diners and the menu and the style were perfect. Our server was adorable and helpful. She quickly brought our drinks and took our order. We didn't wait long at all for our order. The menu is extensive, with pancakes being their specialty. Not being a sweet breakfast person, I settled on a bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich. I got to choose how my egg was cooked so I did over easy. There were red potatoes served on the side. Everything looked great, but I had thought the bagel would be toasted, so that was a little disappointing. The sandwich was good, but toasting would have made it excellent. Overall,service was excellent, nice menu and good food. read more

Atmosphere - The restaurant is located in a strip mall with lots of parking. There are not many breakfast choices in that area, so it was very busy with quite a few people waiting for a table. As a result, the tables are very close together and the place is very noisy. Service - Despite how busy it was the service was great. Food - I ordered a combo of scrambled eggs, fried potatoes and a pancake. Everything was served hot and was very good. Value - my wife ordered a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel. Our total bill (including coffee) was around $40 (including a 20% gratuity), which I consider high for such basic meals. Thus, a 4 star rating, not 5 read more

We stopped by on our way home from a weekend getaway. We wanted to end our trip on a good note, so we decided to stop at @ The diner! This was our first visit to this particular location. The place is very clean and well decorated. It's an open floor with a view to the kitchen! We arrived and were sat in less than 15 minutes with a party of 4. Our waiter was great and took great care of us, even when the placed became extremely busy around 10ish. You can't go wrong with anything you order from their menu and at times, chosing what to order is the biggest challenge. I highly recommend this stop! read more

This was my first stop for breakfast after taking a red eye flight into MCO Airport. It was located in the Lake Cay Commons at Universal Blvd and Destination Pkwy. The staff here was nice and friendly. After I was seated, I ordered coffee and their grilled ribeye & eggs with potatoes and rye toast. Although the steak was sliced quite thin, it was well seasoned and delicious. This was a nice spot for breakfast. I will probably have to come here again on future visits to the Orlando area. read more

Found this place on a whim. Great service, delicious food, good prices, big portions. We ordered the chicken breakfast waffle taco and chicken and waffles. Everything was very well seasoned.

Coming from NJ I was initially reluctant to try a place named called Diner, but this is more of a nice brunch spot. Food was great, especially the waffles. Ordered street tacos, which consisted of pork carnitos with a waffle as the taco shell. Was a great combo. In particular the cilantro based sauce was delicious. Was a fairly solid portion. Tried some of the chicken and waffles too, which was legit. Can tell why its popular. read more

We tried this place for brunch and were seated right away. Service was quick too. Ambiance is nice. We ordered their Tex mex and veggie omelettes.

Disappointed at the coffee... What I was meeting a coworker here for breakfast chats on a friday morning. I had a ice latte with Oat Milk because they were not able to make the latte with non-dairy hot since the machine does the work.. kind of disappointed that it was those combo machines. For the food, I got the avocado toast and I was able to substitute the toast for a waffle! It sounds crazy but it was one of those days where I wanted waffles but also avocados. I am super happy that they were able to do this (you may not want to try it). There was a lot of avocado, guac and slices to be exact. Environment End plaza unit, so there is plenty parking in the parking lot. The inside reminds me of any other breakfast place. There are chairs and some booths. Niceness of the staff The staff was very patient as they took in my crazy request. I am really happy that they made it happen for me. I was satisfied. Dollar Everything is relatively decently priced. To sub the toast for the waffle it was around $4 Yes It was okay. I may be missing the star menu item, I won't go again if the opportunity arrises but nothing too exciting. read more

@ The Diner - Chicken and waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Don't be fooled by the tourist-strip-mall location, this place is LEGIT! Despite the simple name evoking hearty slop, this place has much more of an eclectic, newer-school take on breakfast classics. (something I love in a breakfast joint) I'd say this is much more "cool brunch spot" than "greasy spoon". I sat at the bar and ordered the huevos rancheros. It was a fantastic and unique take on the dish. I augmented with some delicious house-made hot sauce. (such a turnoff when they just have those common vingery, tabasco-y hot sauces at breakfast spots) Service was ultra friendly, they even gave me a coffee to go when I left! read more

This was the first cold eggs benedict I have had, definitely not a fan... very disappointing. Not a single part of my dish was warm except for the house potatoes - those were tasty. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

My goodness, as good as advertised! So many great breakfast reviews for this restaurant and so many options. This is THE place! Impressed from the moment I walked in the door. I was greeted and seated at the bar and looking forward to a fast breakfast. I had the Eggs Benedict which was more like a work of art than a breakfast entree. Delicious and fresh avocado, tasty bacon and fabulous eggs on a toasted muffin with wonderful hollandaise sauce. The coffee was delicious and the service from Maria T was FABULOSO! This is the way breakfast should be. The atmosphere is so relaxing! Rather than the HDTV's show the news, weather or sports they had them tuned to scenes undersea fish and other fishy creatures. It was so soothing and relaxing and really set the mood! read more

if you are true coffee drinker, do not get the coffee here because you cannot taste the coffee taste like syrup. The food took about 20 minutes to come out and they're not even that busy. the food was cold. The service is horrible. The pancakes came out and the strawberries syrup never made it to the table waitress is very impatient look discombobulated, and confuse like she didn't know how to serve a table. I will not be back. The food is horrible bland no flavor at all. read more

Amazing Breakfast Spot! We stopped in at @The Diner on Universal Boulevard in Orlando and were seriously impressed. We ordered the Western Omelet, Cheese Omelet, an Iced Caramel Latte, and a side order of pancakes -- everything was delicious! Both omelets were cooked perfectly and came with crispy, well-seasoned house potatoes and toast. The pancakes were fluffy and flavorful, and the Iced Caramel Latte was a sweet and refreshing pick-me-up. The atmosphere was cozy, the service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. Whether you're a local or just visiting the area, we highly recommend checking this place out for breakfast or brunch! read more

I recently moved to Orlando and have been trying different restaurants I've seen on TikTok. Unfortunately, this is one of those places where I wish I hadn't gone out of my way to try. I ordered the crepes and my husband got the chicken and waffles, and overall everything just tasted pretty bland to us. We sat at the counter and the service was okay, but nothing really stood out about the experience. Sadly, it just didn't live up to the hype for me. read more

Food was fantastic. Pancakes were one of the best I've had. Egg quality was very good. The hot sauce provided had good flavor but not spicy. Server Maria was a joy and very attentive! The place is very clean. Did not have sufficient bathrooms in my opinion. The only knock was a service charge of 22% added to our bill because we were 5 adults and 1 3 year old. Then they said to leave a tip. Why would you say service charge of 22% and then ask for a 20% tip? Not a fan of this! Meal was already $130 for 4 adults and 1 child. read more

The Diner is a nice, above average breakfast/lunch restaurant. The service was fast and friendly (although I did sit at the bar). I had a basic coffee which was bold but average. The atmosphere is typical contemporary style from a breakfast cafe. There is a lot of seating, but this place gets crowded in the morning. So, I suggest getting there early or plan on waiting a bit. I had a special (that I can't quite remember). It was good, but again, not remarkable. I do recall the potatoes were just warm, but it might be that they were a little backed up and my plate may have sat on the counter a little too long. There are a lot of great reviews for this place, so I my expectations were high and guess I was a bit underwhelmed. YMMV. read more
