This place is like the old diners in the 80's, amazing food, respectful and great service.

The food was good, service was a bit slow not bad just 1 server for a large full section. Food took longer than expected but it all came out hot.

Dan’s I-30 Diner – Benton, Arkansas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Must-Stop Local Gem) If you’re traveling through Benton, Arkansas, do yourself a favor and stop here — especially if you appreciate a true hometown atmosphere and classic, good home cooking. I dropped in for breakfast on my way out of town and absolutely loved it. I might have been one of the younger guests in the room (and I’m 61!), which tells you everything about its loyal local following. The place was running close to full, yet the service never skipped a beat. My server, Aeriolla (forgive me if I misspelled it), was friendly, attentive, and quick with a smile. Portions were generous, prices very reasonable, and the food tasted like it came straight from someone’s family kitchen. You’ll find Dan’s just off I-30 near mile marker 117 on the south frontage road — easy in, easy out. Skip the fast-food chains — support small businesses like this one. Nine times out of ten, you’ll find better food, warmer service, and a far more memorable stop. Dan’s I-30 Diner gets my full recommendation!

Dan’s 1-30 diner is a beautiful and comfortable place to dine in! The fluffy omelettes, kind atmosphere, and the wonderful family of staff make this diner a breath of fresh air. This is a great place to enjoy some great food, great company, and to enter into a world where you can slow down, enjoy life, and remember what it means to be alive.

I was about to go to The Waffle House but I'm so glad I didn't! I spent $45 at this place and it was so worth it my server April she was so professional kind and a great person to have a conversation with not to mention a real Hustler she wasn't just walking she was power walking through the restaurant I gave her a much deserved tip and just for the heck of it I gave an additional $5 to a different server who was really hustling as well a young girl with black curly hair I didn't catch your name it was my first time there but I was blown away everything tasted amazing! My older brother highly recommended this place but I didn't believe him at first LOL because most places are just the same old thing over and over 😏

It's been a while since I have had a good mess of turnip greens. The black eyed peas were excellent. The Catfish was really good. I didn't find anything that I didn't like. Grilled chicken salad was good too!

Just had another delicious breakfast. The service is even better than the food. April Upton is our favorite waitress and one of the main reasons we frequent Dan’s.
If she ever chose to leave Dan’s we would follow her to her new place.
Hope this never happens. April, Lexi, and Tammy are what make Dan’s a great place to visit.

Great food and good prices. Server was nice and very attentive and checked on us plenty.
Consistently slow service. the cashier/manager(?) was too busy on a personal phone call to acknowledge me outside of taking my money.
The food is good at a fair price, just don't go if you are in a hurry. I don't blame the waitress, it's obviously poorly managed and maybe a shortage of kitchen staff.
I have been there 5 times and this has been consistent.
I give up

We were told it would be 45 minute wait for food. Okay, no biggie, they were busy! An hour and a half wait for food. Our waitress came by only 4 times, once to take our order. Once to bring drinks, once to refill drinks before food we got our food. Once to bring our food and check and once more to see if we needed a refill. We were there over 2 hours.

Awesome food. Only thing I’ve noticed is we will go on days they are supposed to be open and they will be closed.

I can tell you that Dan never compromises on quality products and every plate made is held to a standard of uncompromising perfection or as close as possible!
