Clean restaurant; great food; good price; wonderful staff; those sweet potato's are fantastic!
We were working from out of town and got off work late. They had 15 minutes until closing and STILL served us because they knew we were tired and hungry. Amazing people working in there, so nice and welcoming. The food was delicious and fresh as we didn’t want to hold them up we got everything to-go. Nice small inside dining area, and great desert, I had the pecan pie!
If you're traveling down 85 South between the Georgia/Alabama line and want some good down home food, this is the spot right. The catfish is delicious. 😋

Merl's Diner provides a good experience with great service, even for large groups. The food is excellent, featuring popular dishes like the buffet plate, fried chicken, and the standout one piece whole catfish meal, which is considered the finest whole catfish meal available. This meal comes with crinkle cut fries, fluffy and crispy hush puppies, and creamy delicious slaw. Customers have praised the mac and cheese and onion rings as great complements to their meals. Desserts such as peach cobbler and red velvet cake are also favorites among diners. The diner has a kids menu and is wheelchair accessible with a ramp and manageable space inside. While the atmosphere is described as down home eclectic and could be improved, it is neat and clean. The friendly staff ensures that the food quality justifies the price. Merl's Diner is a charming mom and pop restaurant with good food and fair prices, attracting customers who travel to the area just to enjoy a meal. Parking can be tight, but there is an option to park across the street. Customers have noted the impressive service, with timely orders served hot, making their visits enjoyable.
