The atmosphere is like stepping back in time to a classic diner, not that I’ve been there but it looked like how it does in the movies. The waitress was also so friendly but in a way where you’d think shes known you because of how natural she speaks! The food was also so so good, a nice classic breakfast.
Took my family here to eat some late breakfast and we were very happy with the service and the portions as well as the price point. We will be back for certain. This may be one of our new breakfast spots in rotation. Thank you so much and keep up the good work everyone!
First time at Donut Diner today, great experience. Food was good and Stef was great! Very welcoming and a great dinner experience. Only thing I would mention was the hollandaise sauce was a little off but amazing atmosphere. Will go back!
Great diner, literally a classic. Wish I had found it sooner. So 50s style, lots of space, full of people. Prompt, friendly service. There's even a drivethru and if you want a breakfast sandwich, they have it here too (I haven't tried it, just saw it on their menu).I had the eggs benny which was great. Nice, thick bacon. Good hollandaise sauce.This place is right in a plaza on Stone Church. I'd seen it before a few times but this was my first time going in and it's going to be a regular place for me. I updated the photos in the front of the place and hopefully the ones I took inside give a feel for how big it is inside, as I didn't really see this from other ones posted.
Karen and Denise, have been lovely on welcoming a new customer to the Donut Diner. The establishment brings the positive atmosphere on making it personable, mom & pop shop vibes and feeling like you are at home having breakfast. The food is incredible, I ordered the Eggs Benedict with home fries. Thank you for having myself and my girlfriend and welcoming us in. The staff will surly be seeing us more and more. Thank you Donut Diner.
We have been going here for breakfast and lunch for over twenty years.The food and service has always been top notch.Sometimes it is really busy but we always get a seat after a short wait.Most definitely a cornerstone
Prices fair, food was well prepared, staff were excellent. I was going to drop a food star obecause the whites of the eggs were not cooked. 30 seconds more and they would have been perfect. But a star lost for 30 seconds was too much of a penalty for an overall good experience.
We had a fantastic eggs benny & classic breakfast. Hollandaise sauce was mouthwatering!Servers were funny and charming, and the atmosphere took us back to a classic diner vibe. We will be back to try the donuts and more!
