My friend and I were driving from Pennsylvania to Nebraska on a motorcycle trip and stopped here for breakfast. We like the backroads of America and I always look for the 'off the beaten path' Diners. This place was amazing. Connie, who was cooking, was also cebrating her birthday and shared her B0Day cake with us, before breakfast. Her side kick was Wanda. Two absolutely wonderful Ladies. And breakfast, superb. Thank You for the memories.

This is a great place for breakfast or lunch. I had lunch on a Friday when the specials were deep fried chicken strips or deep fried cod. Since I don't each fish, I opted for the chicken. I was served two nice size pieces that were very tasty. The meal comes with a choice of THREE sides. I opted for potato salad, green beans and cherry cheesecake. The sides were excellent. This place is popular with the locals and it appears they all know each other. Doesn't look like much from the outside but don't pass this place.

drove the jefferson highway from bethany north into Iowa. thought I would go to Leon , ia when I came across the Dinky Diner . I love old restaurants and this is a treasure. I hate that I did not know this is just off I-35 and driven by for years. Owner and waitress were super friendly and tenderloin wa. s the best I can remember. It was my birthday and this just made my day ! Lets support this blast from the past. I will now take friends and family here regularly. worth the drive from Des Moines or anywhere!

People giving this little diner 1 or 2 stars are reviewing it like it’s some Michelin reviewed restaurant. It’s a diner. It’s small town. It’s good comfort food, made from scratch. They don’t make them like this anymore. Your grandma’s cooking with no frills and friendly home town “cozy” eating. You’re missing out if you don’t give it a try. Love it. Dinky Diner is small town comfort food at its rare best. Eat pie.

This place is poorly kept. They were out of lettuce and mashed potatoes. I really wanted a salad had to settle for a burger. Not happy
Great drive bar atmosphere.
