Does your city/town have a good diner?

One major thing lacking is a good diner where I live. Hard to beat a good diner meal.

Marietta Diner was on DDD. It’s pretty decent. But theres much better food around Marietta/Atlanta than Marietta Diner

Went there once. Decent, but over hyped. Metro Diner is about the same. The Majestic is an experience, best late at night. OK Cafe is pretty good.

And there's always Waffle House and Huddle House. Probably a better value and you never know when things get real.

When I lived in Springdale (AR), they have Neal’s Cafe. Its prices have gone up over the years, but it’s pretty good.

If you’re ever driving down I40 in Arkansas and pass the Hazen exit, The Hurley House is pretty good.

We have Hub City and Mel's. Both are good and owned by good people. The husband of the lady that owns Mel's is a complete a-hole.

Money laundering operation by the Greek mafia. My aunt and uncle (RIP) were regulars there for decades.

yeah I’ve been there multiple times at 3-4am with meetings going on in the corner. Their Challah bread French toast is fire. The spanakopita and lemon soup as well. They have 5+ other restaurants as well around metro Atlanta

The best kept secret in downtown Athens GA is the Mayflower Cafe. They haven't changed a damn thing in 50 years, despite everything else changing around them, constantly. Cash only. Don't ask for something gluten free. Don't expect an in-and-out experience, they work on 1950's time.

The Majestic in the Poncey-Highlands neighborhood of ATL. The Silver Skillet in the North Midtown neighborhood of ATL. Both great traditional old-school diner spots. Not recreations of old school diners, but old school diners that still survive.

I don't know anything about this place, but it looks cool with all the neon.

Not really but at least most of the Mexican places serve up a pretty good breakfast

It seems the Majestic isn't open for the late night Poncey Highland crowd anymore, they are breakfast and lunch only now. I can't blame them. I'm pretty sure every ATLien of our age has a crazy late night story involving the Majestic, being right next door to The Claremont Lounge, The Local, MJQ, The Righteous Room, The Weirdo Theater, and The Murder Kroger.

Dallas has one near Parkland Hospital, the names escapes me. Best diner I knew of while living there.
