I was looking for a quick diner breakfast and this place popped up on my search so I made my way here. The place is small and the parking lot was packed. It was only me so I told the hostess the bar was fine if one came available. The waitress was quick to bring me coffee and take my order. I got one of the breakfast specials. Scrambled eggs, sausage, and has browns with toast. The eggs were definitely scrambled on the flat top because it was a tie dye mix of white and yellow. Not cool. Youre not that busy to grab a bowl or have some pre scrambled. And the toast had the bare minimum amount of butter. It was like they took the tip of the knife on the edge and put a 3mm dab of it on there. Do I expect more from diners, probably.
Auburn has two great diners and this is one of them. Completely restored in 2003, this is one of just a few remaining diners built by the Bixler Manufacturing Company. The diner is small and always busy, but the excellent food and service, not to mention the historic building itself, make it a must visit.
Old style dinner, food is hot good and service outstanding. Everyone is like family and polite. If you miss home food. cooking, stop in for Breakfast, lunch or both. Too bad it is not open for dinner. I know where to eat when I am in the area of Auburn, NY.
Got here at noon on a Thursday, and had to wait about 10 minutes to get a table. Our food was very good and reasonably price. The staff was friendly and very attentive, considering how busy they were. All in all, it was well worth the wait.
Really tasty specials, and a whole lot of selection.. great local diner.. will come back
Had grilled cheese on rye. Delicious.. and wedding soup..with loads of vegs and meat and chicken...coffee was fresh too!
So glad we stopped here before we left Auburn. I had the 222 and enjoyed every bite of it. Crystal took good care of us, and we had great conversation with the people in the booth next to us.
Love this diner!!! breakfasts and lunches are amazing. VERY regular crowd. super service. Always packed.
We waited close to an hour for our food. The omelet was tasty, but it was room temperature. The hash browns were partially burned, but barely warm. The toast was bordering on being burnt. We ordered 2 pancakes. The top one was cooked perfectly, but was chewy and didnt have much flavor. The bottom one was super dark and impossible to cut with a fork. One bright spot is that our server was great. Im not sure why this place is #3 out of all restaurants in Auburn on trip Advisor.
Very good food nice people all the time servers and people having brunch great atmosphere
Dont leave reviews really, but went twise in a couple days. food is great. very clean. great service. will go again if Im ever in town.
Great tasty food. Wonderful service with friendly caring staff.
Always a pleasure to come to the diner. Food is great and the folks at the diner are awesome
Best breakfast I have ever had hands down!
Very good food not expensive either just a great place to eat their breakfast are so good
Were from out of town and were looking for a simple local diner for a good breakfast. The food here was very good, large portions, and good price. Staff were friendly and I was entertained listening to one of the waitresses riffing on one of the regulars. Nice experience!
This is where the locals eat! Always busy and always good! The staff is very good! One of the best examples of a local diner youll find anywhere!
This is literally my favorite place to go for a good hamburger.. really great place!!
Wonderful service & scrumptious home cooked meals - Ill be back for sure!
Foods okay. Avoid going there on weekends because its packed and youll be waiting 45 mins to an hour for your food and the staff gets snappy if you gently ask for an ETA.
Everything was great! I feelucky to have found this place.
Great place really good food very friendly staff and local folks was great to talk to truck parking in the parking lot beside the place you can ovnp here
I dont understand how the cooks can consistently offer cooked breakfasts and 95% of the time the home fries are stone cold or barely warm!. This is not a one-time occurrence--has happened repeatedly.PS: Mary is the best waitress in central NY!
Long line but worth the wait. Delicious food!
Great food and service. However, I had to listen to one of the owners relatives very loudly giving her opinions on politics the whole time I was there. She also needs to keep her mask on while walking around and going behind the counter.
Great food and very friendly staff. The place was busy and one cook and one waitress (because of corona) took care of everyone. We waited a little longer than usual for our fish dinners but it was definitely worth the wait. They were delicious! Also, the coconut cream pie was great
Hardest working people in the area, very friendly and affordable for everyone. Perfect opportunity to support local business💫
This was first time there. It was very good and service was excellent I had a Swiss and bacon omelette . Home fries were the best Ive had in a long time. Only negative was the coffee was too strong for my taste. I recommend this place for breakfast
Crazy cool and friendly wait staff...Clean facilitiesExcellent food.I had hot turkey sandwich!Real thick turkey not deli sliced!I highly recommend!
Best breakfast in town thats open before 8
Great place for 🥞 breakfast! You may have to wait for a booth, but never a very long wait,and excellent staff,very kind and friendly!!
Had breakfast here with my Pop and Son on a Saturday morning in early June. Very busy. Had about a 20 minute wait outside. Wished they couldve served us outside on their patio tables. Great vibe, good ambience both outside and in. Not sure why they have such nice outside seating but dont use it. Regardless, it was worth the wait I suppose. The food was fantastic. Bring your appetite, no jokes on their portion sizes. Quirky service though. I had ordered an orange juice and was brought a cup about a 1/4 full of juice. The gal that brought it said they were out and needed to run down cellar to bring up more. She stopped by the table several times asking if we needed refills but seem to miss the orange juice everytime. A testament to how busy they were was my guess. Another server happened along a bit later and rectified the situation. They did not charge me for that OJ by the way. It gave us something to jokingly chide about at our table other than ourselves. Everyone enjoyed their food. My Son had the Montecristo and loved it. To my surprise really. . .as he has never liked anything to do with eggs. Considering the whole sandwich is dipped in eggs I found that quite revealing as to how good it mustve been. My Pop had the Western Omelette and was more than content with his. He found the orange juice situation very entertaining. So he got a good breakfast and a show. I had the Sausage Gravy & Biscuits with a couple of Sunnyside up eggs. HOLY SMOKES!! Did I mention the portions. I was very satisfied with my choice. It was delicious and I had leftovers for dinner that evening. It was perfect. I definitely recommend coming here if you are in the Auburn area around breakfast time. Dont be afraid to speak up if you need something though.
Well made breakfast items and friendly service
Cheap and cheerful. Great breakfast.
Always a good meal here. Staff are super friendly and food comes out quick. Great diner.
Food was great. Nice sized portions. Suggestion have one door for coming in and the other door for exit
I used to stop their years ago since I was in Auburn I knew they always had good food and they didnt disappoint me food was excellent
The staff is so friendly, the restaurant is clean and organized. I love that breakfast is served all day. Very reasonable prices, and you can tell its well liked by the locals.
Great food. Great service.
Incredible pancakes and great service
Old school family dinning atmosphere. Good food
Good food. Big portions. Good staff.
Best breakfast and more in town great service they did alot to preserve as much as the old diner as they could and I remember going there as a kid after school when my mom was waitressesing and the food still great
Good food and friendly service. Was surprised at how good the pancakes were.
Food was good but really greasy
Good food had a awesome time
Excellent food and service. Super cute diner.
Home fries are like warm boiled potatoes hardly any seasoning.Scrambled eggs look like a train wreck, they are never whipped.You get a plate with white and yellow mess.Omlets come in the same fashion.Wait staff is A one, and alot of the customer are there for that reason alone.
The food here is excellent, well cooked, and served quickly with marked courtesy. The decor is tasteful, classic, and a memorable example of Americana done right. The bathrooms are clean, the lighting is excellent. One may have to wait for a table; it is worth a short wait and the food is so good that one can understand waiting due to a restaurants popularity. Every dish I remember eating here over the past years has been consistently well cooked and tasty. I do not remember one negative experience with the waitresses. Bravo.
Huge plates great food. Excellent staff
Great food, love eating here
Great people great food
Great place grat people had a wonderful 👏 time with my grandpa
Friendly service and good diner food and prices.
Awesome as usual!
Love to see Mary working
Best burger I had in a long time
Would give the staff here ZERO stars if we could. Wife and I stopped there for lunch, we were politely told that we would be seated next. Over the course of the next 20 minutes waiting, 4 other couples walked in and were immediately taken to tables. In fact one of the couples that bypassed the wait were eating before I finally asked what was up. I was told that they are regulars and you are not!!!!! Never again will we want to try that place and I will let my extensive family and group of local friends know how they treat folks
Coffee was bitter tasting. Felt safe in there as far as cleanliness and health factors.
Awesome staff, Awesome foodNever disappointed !
The service was terrible, waited almost an hour for a table and then when I had spoke up the lady was extremely rude. The food was terrible and the fries weren’t even cooked all the way. Highly don’t recommend.
Great service!!!! And Food
Just love the place just stopped in got three orders of chicken and biscuits probably the best in town we just love the place

Visited this morning with 2 of my buddies. French toasts were excellent. Service was excellent. The place was packed as usual. Wish they had more space but it turned out well. Will definitely go back.
Great staff, very friendly, and will do anything for the customers to make them happy and comfortable. Service is really good especially on a busy Friday night.

I visited this restaurant yesterday with my 15 month old nephew. The staff was both friendly and extremely helpful. The food was stellar and the warm ambiance should draw more families to come and try it out.
Great food and service
