    1st visit personally after hearing family rave about the great, hearty, home-cooked style food and even better friendly, great service. Arrived close to closing on a Sunday night and everything was fresh, tasty, quality food, and exactly the friendly service I’d heard so much about. Decided to have breakfast for dinner… chicken fried steak and eggs with country gravy. So many restaurants claim to be home-cooked style, but taste more like it came out of a can. Not here. The chicken fried steak was plump and juicy, but not in the least bit greasy like most places. The sausage gravy… Amazing. And the hashbrowns, unlike most places that are cheap, thin overly fried and greasy, these literally tasted like something my grandmother might make. Hearty, fresh, hot crispy, like I ordered, and not the least bit greasy at all. I don’t know how they do it actually for a restaurant kitchen. Family members had Greek salad and fajitas, which came up fresh, hot, and tasting amazing. Really pretty surprising how a restaurant gets everything to taste so fresh. Mr. D’s may look like a chain restaurant/diner from the outside, but it’s nothing like a chain at all. It’s family owned, with a limited number of locations, and a great 50s diner theme inside. I didn’t have any, but family had the peach muffins that literally look like a peach cobbler completely packed with fresh fruit. It really takes a lot for me to be impressed by the quality of restaurant food, but this place absolutely does it, and does it well. When they come talk to you, they treat you like family. So many places if you show up just before closing, they roll their eyes and you’re lucky if you get hot fresh food. This food was so good that you wouldn’t know it wasn’t rush-hour at dinner. I might just have to go back tonight for more. I no longer live in the area, but visit family here often throughout the year. This might just be one of my new favorites in the area!

    This place will bring you back to Mel’s dinner times lol (70’s show) come early and you can take advantage of breakfast specials before 11 AM! I ordered 2 egg breakfast with home potatoes and sourdough bread, it was a good portion size and I asked if they had salsa and they did (it was delish!) pic! It’s not too spicy but they were so good on top of my potatoes 😋 My son ordered the waffle breakfast. He really enjoyed it very much it came with two eggs, bacon & waffle. Highly recommend this place!

    1st time at the Diner. The atmosphere really draws you in when you first walk in. The hostess was very nice and friendly. Wait staff was amazing and walked us through the items on the menu and gave my wife options with the Tea so she could try the different flavors. Food came quickly, it was almost more than we could eat and as big as your head! Pancakes were perfect! Omelet was perfect! We'll be going back.

    Our experience was memorable! Melanie was great as our server. She was very attentive and always available for help. Our food came out quick and was tasty and fulfilling for my wife and I. I had the Tex Mex Omelet and wifey had the Payday Omelet. Love.the ambiance in this diner and enjoyed the music as well. I will be back with more family and friends. This is a diner worth visiting.

    Dining at Mr D's is always a pleasure. The food is consistently good and the atmosphere fun. All of the staff is great, but we truly enjoy the company and service of our favorite server Stacy. Stacy is the anchor that brings us back multiple times each week. She always has a smile, and treats us like family. If you go on Sundays for brunch you will have the opportunity to be entertained by Eric the red magician. He truly enjoying performing for the guests, and his tricks range to match the age of his audience. Mr D's also does great happy hour with many TVs in the bar and restaurant. Check out the Chevy Bel Air table for that Pulp Fiction dinning experience.
