This is our first time visiting this Diner and it was absolutely great! We enjoyed the fried green tomato’s for the appetizer. For lunch my husband and I both had the fried chicken with gravy! This didn’t disappoint. We were also very pleasantly surprised to meet Dena. It’s nice to see an owner actually engaging with their customers. We highly recommend this diner! It’s very welcoming and cozy! Kid friendly too! Thank you Miss Dena for giving us our new favorite spot:)Food was great!

I really wanted to like this place. I give it a 3.7. It's location is perfect for my commute. First, it is the little things. I asked for coffee creamer, they only have half&half. So for anyone lactose intolerant there is no coffee for you. However you have to ask for real sugar but there are three choices of sugar alternatives. These little inconveniences make it a poor dinning experience. Second, the food was typical breakfast fare but bland. Some items did not arrive until well into the meal. The severs were friendly. The place is extremely clean and the atmosphere is pleasant. All around it is a 3.7. I think being attentive to the small details will take this to a 5
Dietary restrictions: There is little to no accommodation for gluten intolerances or lactose intolerances. You should be ok with a nut allergy as there were no mention of nuts in any menu items.

The best diner in Lakeland hands down. Everything I've had there has been top notch, and a great value for the price as well. The wait can be very long if you go at peak hours.

The atmosphere, excellent servers, great fried green tomatoes and biscuits made me love this place! Unfortunately I am unable to go eat there every day which I would if I wasn't on a very restricted diet but on a cheat day I definitely go! Green tomatoes are cut the right thickness and lightly breaded. No matter what I order they make it right, fresh and hot. Everyone is very welcoming, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Keep up the good work!!
