My husband and I stopped in for lunch. Very friendly lady took our drink order. The waitress stopped by with not even a hello… took our order. My food came out at least 10 minutes before my husband’s. My chicken tenders were cold along with my squash and Mac and cheese. His chicken and fries were hot. Mine even colder with respect to eat with him. Never once asked did we need refill or how was meal. Got up to check out lady at register asked how it was. My response it was cold. She had NO response. Wow…how do they stay in business. Along with my husband said men’s bathroom was disgusting. Not a place I want to spend my hard earned money at. Waitress more interested in sitting at back table shooting the breeze than she was about caring for her customers.

Hands down one of THE best deals/food around! Downtowner restaurant has full meals consisting of your choice of meat with three, yes THREE SIDES and a drink of your choice for $11.99. Food is DELICIOUS and always served fresh and hot.🔥 Definitely recommend this spot for down home cooked full meals that are delicious, filling, and easy on the pockets! Certainly worth the value! thumbs 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Cool little Diner, street over beside world famous historic Edmund Pettus Bridge! Austere decor... because of historic location could offer so much more in historic decor and vibe. With a decorator's touch and some historical memorabilia, could attract more return customers. Odd, they advertise as Buffet, but you get there, no Buffet.... you order off menu, a simple down home meal, meat and three sides. In my opinion, it could be ramped up to meet its historical location and significance in proximity to the famous Bridge to draw more tourist dollars $$!

In an out of towner down here for work. People spoke highly of this place.
Ordered wings and 3 sides

Food tastes like it was frozen and heated up. And I only received 5 wings..

Servers were rude. No thank you or you’re welcome. And acted like that were not wanting to serve overall.

I am from out of town, and Called in to ask about a particular menu item due to having dietary restrictions. The person on the phone told me “she was too busy to find out about the item”. I WILL NOT be going here to eat. That’s extremely lazy!!

Food was bland and cold. Service was even colder (i.e., waitress was rude to the point of parody). And country fried steak should come with the option of white gravy, not just brown. Heathens.

Had breakfast here after spending a night in town. Great little local diner with good food. Staff was very nice. A step back in time, very relaxing atmosphere.

Kid-friendliness: Yes, is kid friendly.
