Despite all the negative reviews my family and I really enjoy this place. Sometimes they are under staffed but the food speaks for its self. Everything on the menu is great and each time we've been the server has been great. The day before I gave birth I was craving chicken fried chicken we stopped here literally 10mins until closing for dine in and they still served us I was beyond appreciative I will forever frequent this place we love the delicious plates they serve from breakfast to dinner this spot hits the taste buds time and time again! Def worth checking them out.

45 diner is a throw back to small town diners. It is a nice restaurant, perfect for breakfast. I like it at off times as the service is more attentive but it's still a great restaurant.

I was genuinely excited to try this restaurant, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing from beginning to end.
I first attempted to call in an order, but no one answered the phone. Assuming they were busy, I decided to come in instead. After using the restroom, I waited at the bar for about 30 minutes just to place an order. During that time, I watched the server assigned to my section take care of three tables that were seated after I arrived, yet no one acknowledged me.
I approached the manager to ask if she could take a to-go order. She declined, explaining that she was slammed, and directed me to stand at the other end of the bar so another server could assist me. I followed her instructions and waited there while multiple servers came through the area to run food and assist other guests, but still no one stopped to help me.
Thinking it might be more efficient, I stepped outside to call the order in again — and once again, the phone went unanswered.
At that point, what started as excitement turned into disbelief. I had every intention of dining in, but after being overlooked repeatedly, the experience began to feel less like an oversight and more like I simply wasn’t a priority.
As someone who has worked in the service industry, I understand how intense a shift can become. However, acknowledgment is fundamental to hospitality. Even a brief “we’ll be right with you” would have gone a long way.
The food looked great, but I can’t speak to its quality because after all of this, I chose to leave. Strong food cannot compensate for a complete breakdown in basic customer service. I hope management takes a closer look at front-of-house operations, because no guest should feel invisible when trying to support a business.

I-45 Diner is a hidden gem offering incredible food at great prices. While it's not widely known, it's definitely worth a visit for an exceptional dining experience.

Tried I-45 Diner for breakfast, and it did not disappoint. I had the migas, which were loaded, flavorful, and very filling—eggs, tortilla strips, cheese, avocado, and all the comfort you want in a breakfast plate. My boyfriend ordered the machacado, for him it was on the dry side but had great flavor and generous portions.
My son had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and it was crispy, juicy, and packed with heat, served with hot, fresh fries. Everything came out fresh and the portions were huge. They serve breakfast all day long.
Classic diner atmosphere, friendly service, and solid food all around. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area.

Food was ok, tasteless though it was what flavor it had was acceptable. Probably won’t come back, nor do I recommend it.
My husband ordered steak breakfast and it didn't have any season like not even salt and pepper. He asked can they take it back and cook again with season. The waitress stated the cook said no he couldn't cook it over because it will be the same. ( Where they do that at) I thought your aim was to please the customer. So you are saying you don't have any season that you can add to the steak and cook. Was very disappointed about that and will like to speak with a manager ASAP. His steak was replaced with cold bacon and sausage. Ask for manager she stated they don't have one that they barely have wait staff and was not allowed to give out owner information

This is an updated review and I have deleted my last review from a few yrs back. The food here NEVER disappoints. taste and presentation are always top tier. Every bite takes me back home to a memory as a kid waiting for that amazing food my Mother, Grandma and Aunt was hooking up, and when that plate lands in front of you, everything goes silent. Good ol home cooking. Love it!!!

We were regulars however, while we were eating we saw roaches coming from the kitchen. I talked with Anthony, I’m assuming, one of the owners. He was extremely defensive and promised to return money. I called repeatedly and was given the run around. I would not recommend the establishment. Frank’s Grill is not too far away and so much better with better customer service!!
Found this place on google and decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint, the omelette was delicious and the pancakes were even better and is definitely my new spot since is down the street from my job
