The place looks a like an 50 / 60's dinner. However several booths and tables are in need of repair. The coffee is a mild blend. Order the biscuits and gravy with a side of eggs. I was underwhelmed with the gravy (was told that there was sausage in it but it was hard to find except for the 1/4 piece of a patty added.) one of my two eggs were overcooked. I like to try local establishments on my work trips, this one unfortunately missed the mark. read more

The Red Plate Diner - Biscuits & Gravy with eggs - Burgers Near Me - Midland, Texas

This was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. The service was extremely slow, and after waiting far longer than expected, our food arrived cold. After that kind of wait, serving cold food is simply unacceptable. What really made this experience stand out, though, was the owner's attitude. When I had a question about my bill, he walked up, grabbed the ticket out of my hand in a rude manner, and acted like I was the problem. I made an honest mistake because I didn't realize the kids' meals didn't include drinks. Instead of simply explaining it politely, he responded in a condescending way, basically saying they never come with drinks. To make matters worse, the drinks for the kids were $2.99 each--the same price as an adult drink. The children were only 20 months old and 5 years old, so charging full-price drinks for toddlers and young kids was disappointing on top of everything else. I also couldn't help but notice the difference in how people were treated. The owner was very friendly and welcoming to customers he appeared to know, but if you weren't a regular, it felt like your experience didn't matter. Even by the standards of restaurants I've visited in Midland, this experience stood out for all the wrong reasons. Good customer service means treating every customer with respect, not just the regulars. Between the rude interaction, the cold food after a long wait, and the complete lack of concern, this was an experience I won't be repeating. I won't be returning, and based on my experience, I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

Our server was friendly and attentive. The service was exceptional! Good quality food! We will come again!

The food and service were great! There are also plenty of ice cream selections to choose from. Definitely a diner that is worth trying.

Great menu, great service, and cute atmosphere. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. It's a Win Win for the whole family!

The food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I ate here for breakfast. I had the scrambled eggs with sausage and toast. My husband had the same, but with over easy eggs. When we sat down, our waitress asked if we would like a hot cinnamon roll that just came out of the oven. First off, we're not small people, she hooked us right into the food bait. The cinnamon roll was absolutely amazing. It was big, hot, and fresh. The atmosphere was very quiet and peaceful. We were the only people eating at the time, and it was nice to carry on a conversation with Christian music in the background at a nice, calm level. Please give this place a try for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert! They of course serve some great ice cream! read more

We swing by the red plate dinner about once a month when we are wanting some "home cooked" breakfast. They are quick, consistent & the service is always good! It's a cozy little spot & we're able to get in & out! I always forget to take a picture because we always dig in! read more

Our first time here was for lunch. Food is amazing!! Great choices on the menu! Service was very good and the ambiance gave off that small town diner feel and was wonderful! Went back for breakfast a couple days later and was even better!! Bella, our waitress, was top notch! Highly, highly recommend!! read more

Always loved this place since high school, their food is amazing and ice cream! Always my favorite

This place is so cute! They have awesome milk shakes and a nice simple menu with delicious foods! It is great if you are wanting a nice light lunch to hold you over till dinner, if you are staving, or if you just want a sweet treat!! Food comes out quickly and the service is awesome (which is rare in midland) I'm lucky enough that this sweet little jem is just down the road from me!

The food is always fresh and delicious. Hospitality , ambiance, and deserts are wonderful!!

Lots of people raving about this place on a Facebook group. I stopped in for breakfast. Biscuits and gravy was awesome. Can't wait to come back for lunch. The decor is like an old fashioned diner. Really nice and clean. My waiter was very nice. I was the only person in the diner. People are missing out. Go eat at the Red Plate Diner. read more

The food is decent, and quality differentiates from. The tomatoes on my chicken Dijon sandwich looked like they were sliced up with a butter knife! The deep fried appetizer basket came out after we had almost finished our entree, and some was burnt while some was undercooked! Service is has been consistently good! The ambiance is pretty good as for a lunch diner, and ice cream parlor. read more

Service was fine, but food was not very high quality. It was all pre made/ frozen food. The chicken fried steak was like something you would get and a high school cafeteria and the biscuits very clearly came from a can. Just overall not very good. read more

The Red Plate Diner - The inside! - Burgers Near Me - Midland, Texas

Patty melt really dry. Meat so thin. Use regular store bought patties not homemade.

Stephanie the Manager should probably not be a manager! Waitress was slammed but Mgr stood her happy ass doing nothing. Drinks needed refill, tables bussed among other supportive things you can usually find restaurant managers doing. The waitress doesn't get one star-the mgr and kitchen does. Ordered a buffalo chick sand...they sent a plain chick sand with a side of salsa. Whoever owns this place-your kitchen needs a refresh on menu and you need someone other miserable Stephanie managing (not managing) the place read more

We are hooked, ; The lunch is amazing and the breakfast is by far the best. If you are in for just some good small town breakfast or lunch, this is the spot. The Biscuits & Gravy, Burgers & Salads are amazing, but the Breakfast Avocado Toast is the bees knees. And I always have to stop and get a scoop of ice cream on my way home from work. The Atmosphere, Vibe and Service is second to none. read more

Old Timey diner. Food was OK. Kids had a great time. Atmosphere was amazing. Staff was friendly and very attentive.

The food is always good. Service is very nice and quick. Clean and fresh. Never pass up dessert, worth saving space for dessert!!!

1st tip before you sit down make sure that not only the top of the table is wiped off but the sides also. Our table had syrup dripping down the side of it, easy to understand how that could happen after watching the way one of the servers wiped down tables, pretty much pushed everything over the edge. I pointed out to him that he needed to come back and clean another table as I watched him push a big glob of ketchup off the side. Service was slow apparently our server had to resubmit our order instead of owning up to mistake was like kitchen is slow don't know what happened. After waiting for our food eggs were cold, biscuits and gravy luke warm. Don't need to go back there are plenty of places to try. read more

Popped in for lunch last week. Ordered the tuna melt and wedge potatoes. The sandwich was cooked to perfection and the potatoes had just the right amount of seasoning. The tuna had just the right amount of Mayo and the cheese was the right amount of melt to it. Service was great as well even though they were completely packed read more

The food was delicious and service was excellent!! This was our first time here. Would be back!

Let me start off by saying I will NEVER return to Red Plate Dinner ever again!!! I have never been somewhere that serves a dry club sandwich. So when I ordered it I ordered it with mayo and honey mustard on it. They bring us our food and it has neither nor on my sandwich. It is on the side. I am not going to tear down a club sandwich that is $8.00 to add the spread I requested for it. My husband calls the waitress over to our table and I tell her I didn't order a dry sandwich and tell her she can take it back I don't want it. She comes back and tells me my manager is going to remake the sandwich and add the spread I requested on it. I said that's okay I don't want it. By this time my husband is already more then halfway done with his food. So why would I want a club sandwich that that should have been done right the first time? Here comes the cook (which I find out later due to his unprofessionalism that he is the owner named Terry and should have addressed himself as such. Instead he said here is the sandwich you requested with mayo and honey mustard on it. He knew we where getting up to go pay and leave by this time because my husband was done eating. I said I don't want it. He said I just made two sandwiches and you don't want them? I said I didn't ask for that one. He said yes you did. I said I told the waitress I didn't want it. He said ohhhhh yes you did. My husband said no she didn't by this time I am soooo embarrassed that he is down talking me and I can't believe he is the owner. We go to the counter to pay and I sure did pay for the club sandwich they didn't make right and the sandwich I didn't ask for. Yes I paid for my hubby's meal. No one ever apologized to us. So needless to say I will never recommend that place or go back there!!! #from one owner to another owner the customer is always right!!! They pay you!!! You don't pay them!!! read more

Great team of owners and employees! Wonderful atmosphere, great service, and top notch food. This is my go too for breakfast and lunch!! BG

Loved it. I was famished. I couldn't find anything along the road city after city. Fast food everywhere. When I saw Swensen's Food & Ice Cream, I almost missed the entrance and slammed on the breaks so hard, all my belongings ended up on the floor. I almost got hit from behind but if they honked, my music was so loud, I didn't hear it! inside: retro and divey food: delicious, even with the special sauce (I forgot to tell them I didn't want it) shake: the best part price: affordable easy on the pocket service: fantastic by all the employees read more
