Customer Reviews

This is a cash only diner. It's a wonderful diner that has been around a long time, I've eaten at it for a lot of years, it has been a while since I've been there. Nothing much has changed. The food is still good. The pies look great. And the service is outstanding. I'm very happy to say that they have a new ATM machine that works properly. I remember before having to hunt around for an ATM before going over there, and a time before when the ATM machine didn't work half the time. I'm very glad to see a brand new ATM machine there and works properly. Definitely a nice diner to get some good food. Great omelettes, and a biscuit and gravy for about 6 bucks. I forgot to ask if they have a military discount, something I normally do, I will check next time. If they don't have, a military discount I will suggest to them, perhaps a free drink, or coffee, as the discount for military. I have to sincerely apologize to the waitress in the green shirt, with dark hair. With today's technology I'm so used to clicking or selecting and typing in an amount for a tip on the machine. So when I paid in cash, And when we talked about my hat and I was showing her it because she was interested in purchasing a hat similar to mine. As well as another customer standing right behind me waiting to pay. It completely slipped my mind for the tip. Because I wanted to get out of the way. So I sincerely apologize to that waitress. And if I see her again I will tip her for the previous encounter as well.

The breakfast here is fast hot, fresh, locally-owned and sourced. I was very impressed with the quality of the eggs, hash and belgen waffle. I highly recommend this place.

We couldn't believe how great this little spot is. We stumbled onto it at 5am and had the biggest most tasty breakfast we've had in a very long time. The people are friendly, they have lots of regulars and they even have those gaming machines, I even won $80!! Plus the best part is they are open 24/7 and serve more than just breakfast, definitely worth a visit here.

For years, I've gone to concerts. It's tradition to hit up a 24-hour diner for food after a fun night of music. Sadly, Covid killed off most 24 hour sit down diners. We had been going to Denny's after the last few shows, but their quality has gotten horrible. This brings me to my visit at Dave's Diner. After we saw Green Day, I did a quick Google search and found this one beacon of light open 24 hours. I'm so glad we stopped in! The guy who waited on us and cooked our food was awesome! My country fried steak was tender and cooked to perfection. So many times, places overcook it, and it's tough. Not this man, he nailed it! The American fries I had as a side were also expertly cooked and very delicious. My over easy eggs were also exemplary. I took a few bites before I snapped a picture, but it looked so good! This is now my go-to post concert diner. If you're looking for excellent late night diner food, this is your place! I can't recommend it enough!
