I really love this place! It's your typical small-town breakfast/lunch place with a twist...a passageway to the bar next door! Sunday morning breakfast there is even more special with a Bloody Mary (: Food is delicious, and the plate comes to the table in plentiful portions. Prices are fair and the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Most folks dining are regulars, but no worries, whether it's you first time or 100th....the experience is always the same, SATISFYING. Get there at 5 am when they open and listen to the farmer chatter. You might learn something whilst filling your belly.

We were passing through and came across Dinos. Breakfast was outstanding. My husband had the meat lovers skillet. A generous amount of ham, bacon and sausage. True cheddar cheese and the eggs were perfect. I had the Leo's special. Eggs over easy, perfect, Ham off the bone, perfect, and American Potatoes, beyond perfect. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended. Thank you

We have gone to Dino's many times over the years. Food is always really good. Staff is ad friendly as can be. They do get a lot of carry out orders, so there can be a sneaky long wait even when it doesn't look super busy. Last time I was there, we waited nearly an hour for food which has never happened before. Hoping it was an isolated incident.

We were there at noon, ordered our lunch and after 25 minutes I asked for an ETA l. The owner says it will be another 15 minutes. The reason being is because we ordered lunch. We left before our food came.

Great food, great staff, always takes care of me. Go there enough times and they’ll remember your whole order how you like it.I usually order the hungry man special or the Hercules special. Today the Hercules special won.10/10 everything on the menu is delicious. So don’t be afraid to try something different.On the weekends make sure your they’re early cause they get packed.

Stopped in on a whim, and I'm glad I did. I've lived in the area for a few years and over heard nothing but great things about this place.Food: I ordered the steak (rare) and eggs (poached).While I ordered a rare steak, I actually got a medium, that being said, it was well seasoned and the cut was excellent. This very much made up for the wrong temp on steak. The chef also knows his eggs, as they were poached perfectly. The American fries could use some seasoning, but they definitely weren't bad.Atmosphere: Local and cozy, the patrons are kind, and keep to their groups. The few interactions that I saw between groups was friendly. No one was overly loud or boisterous.Staff: Very attentive to the patrons. They know most of the people in the restaurant and joke around with them. But they don't slip on their jobs or tasks at hand. My waitress checked in on me several times and very much wanted to make sure that I was enjoying my experience.Final thoughts: I slept on this place for far too long and and certainly coming back. Good food, great staff, and a friendly atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp

This is my second time here, and the service and the food was amazing. There was a small mistake on my order, cheese on my omelette. but normal people do order cheese, I am just a little different. The error was rectified immediately, and they went over and beyond.
