After visiting the ‘Boro for a wedding, we met friends for breakfast after seeing decent reviews. D’s is fairly small and fairly loud when full (it was) with probably 10 tables all there together. Food pretty good and service was adequate but our orders arrived piecemeal, which was not ideal. Wife & I split the “More Than Enough” platter: 3 eggs, 2 meats, hashbrowns & waffle. After some wait, our waffle arrived alone (well, with a plate of toast that apparently went with our friends’ order but no one was quite sure). Since any waffle will cool off immediately, we felt obliged to dig in. Awkward. Six to seven minutes later, the rest of our tables’ order finally came. Wife said coffee was not good but they didn’t hesitate to replace it with an iced tea when she asked.

I enjoy D's (for Dana) Friendly Diner because it's just that...friendly. OK, It's not haute cuisine, it's not white table cloth... The place is always jumping. I have only eaten breakfast but this is the place the locals eat. One sees the mayor, city councilmen and the like along with good ole down to earth people & families. The only food downside is the coffee is sometimes served in a rather small mug and it's not strong...kinda weak and if you get a small mug, the waitress has to hustle back and forth to refill that "wake up juice". But...the staff is friendly (like the name says!)

We were in town visiting Georgia Southern and needed a quick breakfast fix. This is an awesome spot for real breakfast food. The diner is small. Seat yourself and wait to be served at your table. My daughter has pancakes, which she loved. My wife had the platter with eggs, sausage, hash browns, and biscuits/gravy. Our other daughter had biscuits with sausage gravy. They all loved it. I had the omelet with sausage, peppers and onions. The food was great. It was served fresh and quickly. The prices are the best you’ll find. I highly recommend D’s!

Here for a Sunday morning breakfast. REALLY good pancakes, biscuits and hashbrowns fully loaded. Very good service, the staff will not leave you waiting for anything. Great price.

They serve what you want the way you want it, for a fair price. The servers. The servers and the cooks, it doesn't matter who's serving you or who's cooking, it's gonna be better than good!

Nice staff and wonderful food! I've tried a good deal of the omelettes and have loved every one of them including the Reuben omelette! If only they had a bigger space for more tables!

Tuesday, November 3, 2020 - party of 2 I was really wow'ed by all the great Yelp reviews so I picked this spot to have breakfast with my mom. We arrived at 10:30am after getting lost from gps (it sends you to an empty shopping center across the street. D'a is actually located by the Big Lots. The restaurant was less than half full with most people finishing up their meals. Since they serve breakfast all day, we chose breakfast. I ordered a veggie omelette minus mushrooms with hash browns. My mom ordered scrambled eggs and a pancake. We both had coffee. While the waitress was friendly, she was a bit scattered and was MIA the majority of our time there. This meant waiting excessively long for creamer and coffee refills. The cook brought out mom's pancake and the rest of the food arrived 15 minutes later. The cook said he had to remake the omelette since he forgot to delete the mushrooms. Not sure why he brought out the pancake so early. No other customers came in while our food was being prepared. The food tasted fine but we were disappointed with the wait and lack of service. The restaurant could really use a thorough scrubbing. The dust on the wood trim by our table was an inch thick. Based on those glowing reviews, I'm guessing we picked a bad day and will visit again to see if we experience an improvement.

Hands down if I have a morning off to go sit and enjoy breakfast, THIS is my place. I enjoy the vibes I get from the diner; a very homey feel. You can show up in casual attire, work attire, or my favorite your PJ's. The whole staff gives off this welcoming feel about them, which to me feels genuine. I ordered a french toast and my hubby got the sausage, egg & cheese sandwich. We both got a side of cheesy grits and of course we loved everything, down to the sweet tea! When we go back we try something new and every time, it hits the spot. Highly recommend, especially if you enjoy spending your money LOCALLY!

Delicious food and friendly service! Not from the area and found this little place while looking for somewhere with outdoor seating to accommodate our dog. Awesome local diner!

Here we are in the the fall of 2020, with the world as we know it having going sideways---seriously! One of the greatest pleasures is to be able to go to a restaurant again, somewhere that youve enjoyed in the past, and share some time with friends. That's what you can do at D's, which has remained open as long as poossible, and no matter how many customers they get, theyve always had the best attitude and served the best breakfasts and lunches in town. The secret of D's is that you can ask for them to fix what you want just the way you want it...which i do. When my doctors said eat more veggies, watch the fats, and be careful about sugars. I'm able to go to D's and have them throw extra veggies in my omelets which they steam instead of cook in the fake butter/margarine that most places use. If i want some of their wonderful link sausage, really good stuss, or sausage and gravy with a little gravy on their great biscuits, thats what i get. If i feel like a patty melt, or a burger, i get a nice thick one, with whatever trimmings i want on it. The bottom line is this, a meal at D's is almost assuredly going to be a pleasant experience!
