This place was delcious. The eggs and oatmeal were spot on. Fresh bannas and avocado were appreciated options. Turkey sausage patties were good. Easy to find, park and quick sitting. Hostess and waitstaff were friendly, and professional. Good lighting and seating area. Bathrooms were clean. Not fast food! read more

Would recommend and next time we're at a dr appointment ... will visit again!! read more

The Diner - Chicken Fried Steak Benedict - American Near Me - Tyler, Texas

Small town, home feel type of diner. This is my 2nd time and its always good and quick. This time I tried the mini waffle flight. They were all yummy. My favorite is the cinnamon roll (the other two were the red velvet and banana pudding). We will be back! There is always a short wait so don't get intimidated by the number of people waiting; tables turnover quickly. read more

What a nice tucked away place. Tucked within a strip mall, it's well worth entering even if through the back entrance due to front parking lot being full. This place had lots of history of Tyler going way back. The photographs in the wall are very interesting. The rugged. Rustic decor is a good reminder of Texas's. Cassie my server was very good. Enjoyed her upbeat demeanor. She was very prompt as well. My BLT and potato soup were very yummy. I will make sure to stop here again when I return again to Tyler. read more

This is a must visit for breakfast if in the area! It is easy to find (end of a strip mall) and has plenty of parking (on side and in back). The staff are friendly, helpful and will treat you like family (the kind of family you like). They are true 5 star level! The decor is clean, country themed, and welcoming. The other 5 stars are the FOOD! The menu is large with a wide variety of offerings. I had the chicken fried steak with eggs and it is the REAL DEAL! Real steak, perfect crunchy batter, great flavor, and the best pepper cream gravy I've had in decades! Seriously! It is thick, smooth, excellent flavor, and lots of it! I bet it is good on biscuits, which I didn't have. My eggs were made perfectly cooked to order, over medium. My breakfast dessert were 2 fluffy with a touch of chew blueberry pancakes. REALLY good. They brought out a bottle of hot syrup. Price is reasonable and we'll be back the next time we are in the area! read more

There's Nothing quite like an American diner breakfast on a rainy storming morning! I ordered the sausage biscuit and crabcake Benedict. Sausage biscuit tasted like it was a jimmy deans microwaveable. The crabcake Benedict was different. I tried the poached egg and wasn't pleased. The texture taste and look of the crabcake was different than what I'm used to seeing with crabcakes. I'm not sure if this was premade or an unconventional recipe used to make it. I waited approximately 36 minutes for this order and witnessed 3 couples just leaving in that amount of time due to the long wait. The food came out barely warm as well for something I would have thought been cooked fresh. The only thing I liked about this place was the greeter and the waitress were very kind and well mannered and respectful. I love the southern hospitality from the employees but I dislike the idle time for the food and the quality from the cook. read more

Stopped here for breakfast on a Saturday. Had a skillet and the waffle flight with eggs. Everything tasted great. Neither of us could finish our food because there was so much. Service was good. Our waiter was friendly and offered solid recommendations. Interior is a typical diner space. Would eat here again. read more

Busy place but large enough that the wait is minimal. I ordered the Mini waffle sampler: banana pudding, red velvet, cinnamon roll waffles. Ty hey are served with warm syrup (yum!). They also offer decaf coffee and it was so good. No funky taste like At so many other places. And they also offer flavored creamers...bonus! Very friendly service and great food! read more

Great Food, service is better than a lot of other places, prices are good, sometimes you have to wait, but it is worth the effort.

Outstanding food. Great breakfast. Great service. Good location in South Tyler. Plenty of seating with booths and tables. read more

The Diner - Vegetable Omlet - American Near Me - Tyler, Texas

Loved their brunch! And the service was great too! Try the migas, you won't regret it

Overall average experience here. The food was fine. Nothing to rave about but also nothing to complain about. The bench they placed us at was slightly broken, but no big deal. The service was fast, but not spectacular. A prosaic restaurant to eat brunch. read more

By reviews this seemed a place to have breakfast. Sorry wasn't impressed! We were seated pretty quickly for a Sunday morning. It's kind of hard to explain but there is a wall separating the entrance from the actual seating area, but it extends way down. We were seated at a table for two right by the front windows. I told my hubs that I felt like we were not part of the restaurant because of this wall. He said well it's kinda of cozy. Server arrived quickly and took our drink order. Hubs ordered a latte which came in a plastic to go cup. Strange to me. Hubs ordered to migas and biscuit and gravy. I had the one egg, with one strip of bacon and potatoes, rye toast. The hubs did not complain, my egg that was supposed to be scrambled was just flat. Potatoes were good, toast was good. Bacon meaty! I got up to use the restroom and the wall had booths on the other side. Oh getting up out of my booth seat, the seat almost came apart. Also the gravy just tasted like powder mix. Would have been great if sausage was in it. Sorry just was not impressed with this place or the food, service was friendly. read more

Service and food were both excellent. Serving sizes were huge and the price was right!

The food was okay. Nothing to write home about. The service was adequate. The ambiance was horrific. Patrons piled on top of each other. Hard to hear others in our party. Restroom was clean but inadequate for crowd size. read more

The Diner has the best pancakes in town! The batter they use isn't like all the other breakfast chains that I've been too in town. Service was quick and I was in and out in under 30 mins. read more

The Diner - Diner Buttermilk Pancakes - American Near Me - Tyler, Texas

The service was excellent. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The chicken fried steak sandwich was very good! I used some of the country gravy from my mom's biscuits and gravy rather than using mayo. I'd say it was 4.5/5. The cinnamon roll was 4/5. The cinnamon roll was likely average on its own, but the frosting brings it up a star. Mom said the biscuit and gravy good... The sausage was average. Would definitely go back though. Everything is reasonably priced. The place was clean, spacious, and not loud. read more

First time here ~ Katie, our waitress & Amanda, the manager were both very friendly. There was a little wait for our table which seemed weird because it really wasn't busy. We ordered our food & it took quite a while to get it ~ at least 30 minutes or more. The green tomatoes were so yummy!! The chopped steak was good too but the gravy was SO salty. The green beans didn't have a lot of flavor. The sweet tea was really good too ~ a TX must! Parking it a little tight to get into; We would probably go back but drinks make sure we could have a long lunch. read more

Breakfast was on point. Fresh brewed coffee. My daughter ordered chicken and waffles. I ordered omelet with French toast. Waiter brought a WARM bottle of syrup to the table. Fantastic detail. I hate that I didn't get a picture of the omelet. It was superb. Definitely will recommend and eat here again. read more

The Diner - Meat lovers omelet with added turkey sausage and mushrooms - American Near Me - Tyler, Texas

Food delicious, we (myself, mom and sister) had the Migas skillet, avocado toast, and #6 small plate with sides of grits and a pancake with warm syrup!). Everything was great. Excellent Service: Riley took care of us, very accommodating and good knowledge of menu. Ambiance: typical diner. Nice music, not too loud. Nice and chilly temperature. The place was clean and tidy including the bathrooms. Will definitely return when I come back to Tyler. read more

Perfect breakfast. The shredded hash browns were 5 star, crispy and perfectly cooked. I had 3 eggs, fried over medium, bacon and toast. Coffee was great as well. I will go back again when I'm in town. read more

The food was good but I ordered a BLT with sourdough bread and onion rings and I got a BLT with white bread and fries.

Today was our 1st. visit. We will go back. The customer service was great. The parking lot was packed in front and on the side, but we found parking in the back, along with a back entrance. The food was good. It was comfort food, not fancy, just good comfort food. The restroom was clean. We had an extremely short wait time for 2 on a Saturday lunch. The only reasons they got a 4 instead of a 5, is the corn wasn't seasoned and definitely didn't have butter in it. The burger patty was just like homemade but it wasn't seasoned. We did add salt and pepper at the table but it's not the same as seasoning the food when it's cooked. The layout and decor were interesting. On the way out, I saw these amazing looking cinnamon rolls. I didn't buy 1, but I wanted to. It was a relaxing lunch on a Saturday. Happy people of all ages everywhere. It just has a good vibe. read more

Lena was a Rockstar! She expertly handled my 'goofy' coffee order twice AND Always refilled coffee/water before we had to ask. Great personality got our orders correct! We love the Diner on Sundays after Mass (see earlier review). My wife, like a recent reviewer, also loves the 'Ironman' breakfast. She takes half home to enjoy for dinner later. I tried the Migas skillet. Fantastic! Love the atmosphere and very cool pictures inside from 'back in the day' We try to come here every other Sunday! read more

Delicious and great prices! We went on a Sunday around noon. There was about a 30 minute wait which wasn't awful. I had chicken and waffles which was really good my husband and a friend had the meat omelettes that they both really enjoyed. We also had the waffle flight for the table which was so yummy! Our waitress was great too. Nice cute place. read more

So, first off, the service was outstanding. Very tentative but not rushing up when you have a mouthful of food! I've been here a few times and every thing I've had has been fire!! Chicken fried steak was awesome. The eggs Benedict was really good. The pancakes were really delicious. I haven't had anything I regretted. It's a little busy so it can get a little loud but it's workable. Don't miss the Diner. read more

Great food and service. Our waiter suggested areas to visit while we were in town. Will be back!

I decided to go for lunch today. Because of all the reviews. I wouldn't recommend for anyone right now. Mexican & Chinese rice was horrible. The majority of the food wasn't seasoned. Reasonable price for lunch. read more

Amazing food and customer service. Always a pleasure coming here! The best breakfast in town!!!! read more

The food is amazing from the Diner! They have the very best Omelette bar around! The very best food for breakfast I have ever eaten!

Waited an hr for our food for it to all show up cold and taste like a dirty grill. There are way better breakfast options in town.

Great spot with amazing breakfast dishes. I want to try everything on the menu here. Huzzah!

If you ever want a great breakfast, this is the place to stop. We stopped there on our way to Shreveport and barely made it before they closed. They welcomed us with open arms and the food was absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding and you can't beat the price. This will be our stop when we are in the area. read more

The atmosphere was great!! The food even better!!! Recommend it highly. Portions nice. You leave full and the waitress we had was phenomenal

Amazing breakfast spot! My brisket omelette was smoky, cheesy, and perfectly cooked. My wife loved her crab cake Benedict--spot-on eggs, and creamy house made hollandaise. Cozy vibe, great service. Highly recommend! read more

This place is phenomenal!!! The was very engaging on point with service and kind. The food is the star tho! The chicken fried steak is the best I have ever had!! Very warm and comfortable place to sit and eat, although busy at times the staff is prompt to clean, reset and seat you. read more

Breakfast at the Diner is a real treat. We're partial to the classic breakfast selections of omelets, hash browns and grits. Delicious!
