Family Restaurants near Dunedin, FL

“Two enthusiastic thumbs up for Pete's Diner! They very kindly arranged to deliver a turkey dinner today to my brother (who lives in Dunedin and is recovering at home after surgery). Well, they delivered a delicious meal at 2:30pm and it was truly a HOMEMADE dinner. It was EXCEPTIONAL! From the turkey, to the gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie with whipped cream--it was a homemade feast. We are deeply grateful to Pete's Diner for the extraordinary Thanksgiving dinner they prepared, and delivered!!!!“

“Great food and service. My wife is a very good cook and our food tasted like what my wife would make.“

“Loved this local diner. Had BLT. Seated promptly in a comfy booth. Great service - refilled my soda without asking. Good fast and sandwich good. Fries could have used a little more draining, some oil on the plate, but no big deal. Everyone seemed to be a regular customer. Give it a try rather than fast food!“

“This family diner is reasonably priced and deliciously fresh. The service was spot on, with our beverages being replaced before having a chance to let our server know we needed them refilled. I was most impressed with the cleanliness of the whole place.“

“I have been going to eve's for sometime now. The food is always great. I also just lost my wife recently and the staff has been so supportive in my time of need.“

“We went on a Sunday morning so the wait was exceptionally long, but that’s to be expected. The walls are lined with tons of old photos, signs, clippings, and other paraphernalia so standing around looking at all of that made the time go by faster. The service was great and the atmosphere was fun. The food was alright, but nothing amazing. It’s definitely the sort of place you go to more for the atmosphere and the people there.“

“10/10 bring the family dogs aloud at outside bar“

“02/02/25: My son and I come here for breakfast regularly, hence the good review below I left a while back. Our last visit was the worst experience I've ever had at any restaurant and I left a pretty scathing review that was deserved by that server. Today we came in and saw the server, so I quietly asked the hostess to not seat us in her section and she happily obliged. Our food and service were great. When we went to pay the bill, the General Manager happened to be our cashier and asked if things were better this time and if we had our bad visit taken care of and I advised that we paid last time, I just didn't leave a tip. He didn't charge us for our meal today, so I left a good tip for our server. Management here really knows how to right a wrong and I very much appreciated it. We love Bob Evans and will be back time and time again.

I come here pretty often and the staff is always wonderful. Everything on their menu is good but my favorite is the sausage gravy and biscuits. They have the BEST in all the land. I like to get it with a side of bacon, they have the best bacon too. You can't go wrong with this Bob Evans. Always very clean and inviting.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of options for kids and I think it's Tuesday nights that kids eat free too. Nice family restaurant.“
