Just not top notch. Cold mushy potatoes, precooked bacon was cold, the ham was too salty and burnt, pancakes were like a cake and the eggs were too crispy. It's not bad, just not great, but the service was spot on. read more

This is our go-to place in Tyler. Breakfast is very good, especially the omelettes with red salsa. Service is always good.

Excellent food and service by Katie. Fried green tomatoes were exceptional. I had chicken tacos and my wife had breakfast tostadas and we both enjoyed them both. Katie greeted us with a smile and was very attentive to us. Thanks Diner for a great experience. read more

The food was good, the staff friendly & attentive. Prices were competitive. Ordered migas and the meat lovers' omelette. The migas were too spicy for me to have as first meal of the day. Better to go with simple scrambled eggs. This is no fault of The Diner, it's more a matter of how spicy (or not) I want my first meal of the day to be. I may come back if I'm in the area, but this will not be one of my breakfast "Go Tos". read more

We had the opportunity to eat here this past weekend. There was quite a wait which is usually an indicator of a solid place. The food was good, the staff was friendly, however, the cleanliness was lacking a bit. Unsure if that's a normal thing or if it was due to the turnaround of the tables but the condiments were all sticky, there were gnats that would not leave our table alone (we were not near a door) and I did see some of the staff standing around when clearly there could have been more cleaning going on. That would be my only "complaint" as it were. read more

Great hometown service and food. Great family breakfast place, been there 4 times in last two years of passing through, excellent

At approximately 6:30 AM on April 12th, my Husband and I went to our favorite breakfast spot, The Diner. The cook greeted and seated us. The hostess was sitting at a table talking to someone. There were two additional tables of customers, a group of four "working men", (described because of their clothes and the trucks outside) and another man who was sitting at a table alone. After we were seated, my husband thought he saw something moving across the floor. The table of 4 men yelled, jumped up and knocked the over their food. "A mouse ran up my leg". During the commotion, the cook came from the back and the hostess came over. It was not a mouse, but a rat. It ran under a few more tables and went toward the kitchen. A report has been made to the health department read more

We looked forward to dining here on our time in Tyler. The wait was about 35 minutes on a Saturday at 11am. Checkin is great with a simple text message that also contains wait time updates. The place is clean and offers a variety of breakfast and lunch options. I opted for the migas skillet while my wife ordered the brisket tacos and a cinnamon roll. Both meals arrived quickly, within 15 minutes. They both looked really good too! But that was about it. The flavor of both meals were rather bland. The included salsa had no kick to it and the brisket was more like a pot roast. The cinnamon roll was covered in frosting, pooling on the full size plate, and tasted like it was heated in a microwave. The place was packed so maybe our food choices were just off. I'd probably not go back but as we like to say, "the water was great"! read more

We went for a late breakfast. Coffee was delicious, as were my eggs and waffle. My husband had a skillet breakfast that he really enjoyed. The service was excellent, the manager made the rounds a couple of times checking on customers too. We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, great food, and attentive staff. read more

Food excellent, wait staff incredibly slow, absent, forgetful, perhaps overwhelmed?? Would give 5 stars but waitress are awful read more

Chicken fried steak Omelette was barely warm when it got to me, but it was good. Potatoes needed more time on skillet and more salt, had to put salt on myself, no biggie on that. Waffle was tasty, but it's more of a donut. Girlfriend had French toast, too much nutmeg... Girlfriend ain't had chorizo skillet, came out cold, had to ask to heat it up and took 10 mins after we received the other food. Server was nice, but she's handling a lot of tables, so had to wait a while on things. Overall, would come back but only get the omlettes read more

Amazing food and service!!! We don't come to Tyler much, but when we do, I promise you we'll be back!

My friend and I visited last week for lunch. Just wanted to try a new place. Took a quick look at the menu and it had a lot of choices and prices looked decent. I ordered the burger and it was very tasty, but my friend ordered the chicken club. Not a good idea. The toast was too thin to support the ingredients of the sandwich and was actually soggy, The chicken breast was whole and entirely too thick for a small sandwich. The avocado kept trying to escape with the bacon (which was delightfully crisp), and the whole thing had to be eaten with a knife and fork. Also as nice as the waitress was, she never came back and checked on us after the food arrived. My friend says she'll never go back, but I would for the burger. read more

Service excellent! Food fresh and delish! Quint place! So many choices! Breakfast and lunch!

We are in from IL & today was our first time here. You will NOT be disappointed! SUPERIOR customer service and delicious food!

Omg so so good! The food was so yummy and delicious it sure did not disappoint. Our server was very nice and friendly I highly recommend this delicious brunch place. read more

Hubby had the special... brisket burrito. He said it was off the chain. I had the build your own omelet, added bacon. They went overboard on the quantity of thick sliced, smoked bacon... so good. Even got to pick the cheese type. Had biscuit, gravy, and hashbrowns. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. We'll be back read more

The most important meal of the day and the best place for it in Tyler is The Diner. All of the breakfast combos are great. Faves are chicken fried chicken & eggs, anything with bacon, and Migas. Pancakes are solid choice multigrain Go for the hashbrowns, skillet potatoes are meh.Chicken & waffles are good. Crab Benedict is ezcellent. Check out the Yelp offer of a free cinnamon roll. Great starter with coffee, even if it wasn't free, and a good way to keep the younglings occupied while waiting for good. Servixe is always friendly and top-notch. Special thanks to both Alexandra and Jo for totally crushing service during super busy times. They made our morning twice this week. There is usually a wait on weekends. It is never very long and it is always worth the wait Pro tip: Park in back. It isn't crowded and there is plenty of room for our trucks. read more

This was a recommendation from a personal friend from the Tyler area, as well as good Yelp! reviews. Bonus, it was close to our hotel (Hampton). There was no wait, although they will only seat you once your entire party if here, FYI. They are known for their breakfast menu. There was FIVE pages of breakfast items, as well as an appetizers page. Slightly overwhelming, but I made a decision on the fajita omelette. I added bacon and jalapeños. It comes with your choice of cheese and potatoes. I had cheddar and skillet potatoes. The omelette was OUTSTANDING. Seriously one of the best I've ever had. The skillet parties were good not great. My wife had eggs and bacon with French toast. She did not like her eggs or the French toast. She said the toast was soggy, like it wasn't cooked. She really liked the biscuit so she ordered another of those. The coffee is Seattle's Best and it was very good. The service was great and there was a manager present that was checking on guests. If you check in on Yelp! you get a free cinnamon roll. It was good. Could have had more icing but I liked it because it was soft all the way through, not just the center. Overall a very good experience. I would definitely come back when I'm in Tyler. read more

After spending one night in Tyler, TX, we passed on the complimentary continental breakfast at our hotel and went for a better experience at what looked like a promising local establishment. We could not have chosen better. The Diner is a roomy full-service breakfast & lunch diner with an outstanding variety of morning fare. I chose the Denver omelette, customizing it with feta cheese and rye toast on the side. (Such is an example of the assortment available.) Pancakes & waffles are available, which my partner took advantage of. Clearly a family place, and there was a short wait, with parking a challenge, but all well worth it. The wait service was equally positive. Yay, Ian. Down with complimentary hotel breakfasts, up with such scrumptious ways to start the day. read more

My husband an I both got the avocado toast. Bread was so soggy. And avocado was so yuck, both me and my husband were nauseous. My son got a pancake and bacon and it was just fine. read more

The brisket omelette, country fried steak omelette, and crispy hash browns were delicious! Our server, Ian, was the best ever. He was extremely courteous and attentive. If a hearty breakfast and good service is what you're looking for, definitely make a trip to The Diner. read more

I had breakfast. It was fresh, plentiful and made exactly as I ordered. The service was friendly and timely.

Great food! Homemade donut holes are life changing. Healthy and non-healthy options. Food for everyone.

Our server was very attentive and friendly. And the food was great! Very satisfied customer and would highly recommend.

The Diner has always been the main competitor with iHop for me personally. My experience with the diner has always been great! They cycle through tables quickly, they are always on top of drink refills, (coffee, water, etc.) the food is delicious, and the servers are always super kind with a smile on their face. Overall, the Diner is the most professionally run breakfast place I have been to. They aren't cheap by any means. However, if you are looking for a place to sit down and catch up with a long time friend, or go on a date. This is the place for you! read more

The migas skillet was delish! Out of each of the meals my family got, our favorite part had to be the hash browns!

Absolutely the worst experience ever! After waiting 30 minutes to be seated another 30 minutes to be serviced!! I am not one to give bad ratings but when the owner came to our table and didn't apologize to my husband for this burnt food that was served to him was unbelievable! All he could say was, it was replaced!! It was replaced!! Then having to leave our son at UT Tyler this morning after this bad experience was very upsetting to me. He was extremely rude! We will never recommend this place! Business owner never forget! Negative reviews succeed in chasing away customers from your business to your competitors.
