We are traveling and decided to stop to support a local business that we saw was opened till 8 according to Google. We were approached by who I assume is the owner before 2:30 to tell us we need to put our order in now because they close at 3. Poor service. They were too busy closing the store (sweeping under our feet, yelling across the restaurant to eachother, flipping chairs onto tables) around us to provide anything but our Luke warm food order and drinks. Had to approach the counter for condiments, refills, and to-go boxes. If you're driving through, you can find better food with better service at most other places! read more

Great food and service for evening dinner. I will definitely go back. Value for the price is spot on.

Wonderful, wonderful restaurant just on the outskirts of Vienna and close enough to the highway for folks to stop while on the road. For at least a generation, this used to be Dolly's. The menu is huge and varied with a few specials. They serve everything--diner-style entrees, sandwiches, breakfast, pizza and things you wouldn't expect a down-home place like this to have. The Chicken Marsala looked great but I opted for a turkey melt. We started off with potato skins--about eight or so half-potatoes cut and served with a big tasty dollop of cheese and bacon bits. The salad that came with the sandwich wasn't anything special (you might want to order your dressing on the side), but the fries were fantastic. read more

Im kinda surprised there haven't been any listings about this place! On our road trip we've been stopping in little towns looking for good down home cooking. Vienna Diner was in the top two for me... Number one for the SO. You're greeted by the owner and any staff nearby right when you walk in. The menu options are practically limitless. Which can be a good and bad thing. I went with the Gyro. It was pretty darn good! The spices in the meat were perfect! The SO had chicken fried steak, hash browns, biscuit and eggs... He repeatedly said "this was phenomenal"... Oh and we had pie... Because why not... I had pecan pie.... And it was AMAZING! The chocolate pie was okay. My only complaint.... I wish there was a little more lettuce than dressing for my salad... But the lettuce and tomato were very fresh and we actually wondered if their ranch was made in house. read more

One should depend on Yelp to direct to good food and nice places. Once again we were not disappointed. This is clearly a place where the locals hang - even the people that wear badges. Except for the little patch of syrup on the table, the place was very clean, including the washrooms. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The coffee kept coming. The food was great. Would definitely stop again. read more

The service was just ok, but the people were extremely friending. We struck up a conversation with someone near our table. I imagine this happens often. Which is charming. The restaurant is dated and desperately needs a fresh look The food is really not very good. I hate to say it, but it's a very tired menu. I had a chicken melt that lacked flavor and was dry. My sides were pasta and greenbeans. The beans were obviously out of a can. The spaghetti was tasteless. Now this could have been just my back luck, but my friend had the grilled cheese with bacon. Hardly any cheese and likely had a wrapper on it before the sandwich. The soup looked like a box of cornstarch fell into the pot. Likes he people, but.... read more

We stopped for breakfast. The meat lovers skillet was very, very Good! Biscuits and gravy were better than most. Great staff and fast service. We'd definately go back if we're ever in the area again. read more

Stopped in on the way back from Florida- clean friendly place with delicious food and fast service. Just off the highway with plenty of parking. I had the egg and bacon breakfast for lunch it was really great! Not what you expect from the outside - this town has a great little eatery that they share with a lucky few read more

Absolutely amazing food, service is great. Friendliest staff. We got off interstate and just popped in. The outside might deter you but don't let it. Inside is clean and inviting. read more

Stopped in while traveling to eat lunch. Food was great and so was the service. Definitely recommend to add it to your travel list for a great local restaurant! read more

Good family style restaurant food all seems to be prepared fresh here. The staff is not really keyed into the good rating so the reviews are probably real I had the special which was a Reuben sandwich and my friend got the club sandwich all very nice. read more

Quick personal service with a huge American menu. Not fancy Working man food I got the blue gill special for 7.99. Came with two big filets with corn or green beans and soup or salad. I got the creamy patato soup which came out right away. read more

Wonderful find on our trip. Had the sirloin steak with grilled mushrooms and onions. Wow. Since we are traveling could not take the remaining. Portions are huge. Everything tasted like home. Normally I pass on dessert, but knowing they were locally made I could not resist. Had the chocolate meringue. Crust was flaky and a filling to dienfor. Hubby had lemon meringue which was also perfect. Service was with a big smile and hearty welcome. Appears to be a local favorite. Don't miss this gem of a diner. read more

We were in Vienna for the Tunnell Hill 100. The nice lady in the depot in the middle of the night told us we should eat at the Vienna diner. The food was perfect and amazing. I had scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, and bacon. It was perfect. It was all we ever wanted. All we ever needed. You don't really just find yourself in Vienna, but just in case you do, eat here. You'll be glad you did. Say hi to Debbie if she waits on you. read more

We ate lunch here while stopping in town to get gas. Those that ordered breakfast enjoyed their meals most. I had a BBQ pork special. Lots of bun, little meat, and the meat was all dried out. The fries were very good. And the creamy potato soup was good. I would give this place an "okay." read more

Breakfast was very Sysco, nothin special. Lame biscuits and gravy and sausage. Maybe lunch is better. Keep on driving

This was an accidental stop for us enroute to MO but a hugely pleasant surprise. Get off the exit, pass the usual fast food and continue for a quarter mile for a fast, clean and scrumptious meal. My bacon cheeseburger was cooked perfectly and served with two hearty sides. My fiancee, a vegetarian, enjoyed a stir fry that was one of the best she tasted. Highly recommend this gem... the locals are lucky. read more

Friendly service but food was pretty ordinary. Iceberg lettuce salad, mediocre fries, Philly cheese steak was pretty dry.

One of our go to spots en route from Illinois back home to Nashville. The kindest people in the world there. Food is so great and is very home cooked. We love stopping here bc they treat us like family. I love their lasagna and the BLT w crinkled French fries is good. I do wish they would make a meat sauce for their spaghetti bc it would be soooooo yummy! Service is good too. A nice ma and pop diner and you won't be disappointed read more

Great find while traveling! We had breakfast and it was delicious!! It worth a stop if you're looking for some delicious food!

Just driving through from Alabama to Illinois. Great Diner with variety. Friendly staff, neat and clean. I enjoyed the club sandwich. My husband loved the taco salad. Would defiantly recommend! read more

I did not care about the food at this place. The hamburger that I got did not taste good and my mom's BLT was decent. However the waitress was very nice considering we had 14 people in our group. And they provided plenty of food. Also the place was clean. The food they offered was plentiful but did not care about the seasonings. And their prices were reasonable. read more

I will have to say the menu is a bit on the lengthy side, BUT kudos to this little restaurant. Why because there is still food made with love here. I am impressed with the appearance of the dining area, the waitress we had, and above all the food was flavorful. I ordered shrimp alfredo and I am hesitant to order alfredo after the awful experience from other restaurants. We also got a cup of the stuffed pepper soup and I was very pleased with it. Will definitely make it a stop when going thru Vienna. read more

Delicious food! Had a taco salad that was really good fresh cooked tortilla and fresh lettuce. Kids had chicken wings were so crispy and perfectly cooked with the best buffalo sauce. Fast awesome service too. Clean bathrooms. read more

The food is ok and the waitresses are always friendly but seriously who offers all you can eat fish and then gives you one small container of tartar sauce for 3 pieces of fish? Then charges you .79 for every extra tartar sauce that you ask for. No other restaurant has ever done this to me. Cheap . They didn't even warn me beforehand. The food is alright but there are other places in town that are as good or better. read more

Great Fried Chicken , Chicken Strips & many other items. Great & funny Servers , customers will make you feel comfortable. Nice place , bring your appetite stay for the Caramel Coconut Pecan Pie & other Homemade Icebox Pies read more

Like the others - it was aYelp find and we weren't disappointed! It's the quintessential small town country diner. It appears to be a local favorite as the parking lot was full when we arrived, just 20 minutes after it opened for the morning. Lots of traditional breakfast choices. My sausage gravy and biscuits was 'stick ti the ribs' fantastic. Superb homemade biscuits that soaked up the smooth and tasty gravy. My spouse had scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon and all were excellently prepared. And it all arrived within minutes. We'll make sure to stop again when we travel through the area. read more

Stopped in on my way home from Florida vacation because they had good Yelp reviews. I had salad with their homemade ranch dressing and lasagne. Both were excellent! Friendly staff too! read more

I don't often write reviews, but I have to comment on this restaurant. My husband and I stopped for brunch. The reviews were very good so we had high expectations of a decent meal. We both ordered the meat lovers omelette. When the meal came, we were totally surprised. And we were angry with ourselves that we did not send them back. The "omelettes" were nothing more than over cooked, bordering on burnt, dried out scrambled eggs with about an ounce of diced ham mixed in...and no cheese! I asked for the added mushrooms for an additional 79 cents and found 3 small slices. As I have said, we are angry with ourselves for not sending the "food???" back to the cook...definitely not chef. We were in a hurry and very hungry. Perhaps the pancakes are good, hence the good reviews. However, DON'T order the omelettes. The waitresses were very nice and did their jobs well. read more

The food was good to excellent. Gyros, potatoes soup was excellent. The pizza is thin crust with a sweet sauce. The Rueban did not have enough meat and was tough. The staff was friendly and was pretty clean. read more
