Not a fussy place by any means but after a late night you can't go wrong here. Everything is clean and waitress was friendly and service was quick. The food was satisfactory and it came out still warm and coffee was good, I take high test and my friend liked Decaf, both came out in a hurry and warmed us up on this cold night. My egg wrap was good and big enough to satisfy a cold hungry soul like me. If you are in GSO give Best Diner a try when you are looking for food for late nighters!

When you walk in you can feel the atmosphere welcoming as it is family owned and the ambiance is your typical diner feel. The service was excellent and nice. I ordered one of the breakfast specials which was the two eggs, bacon, toast and grits. The bacon was cooked in the stove and crunchy, eggs were cooked to perfection. And the grits were hot. It was my first time coming here from being out of state and I'll recommend it to anyone and I'd definitely come back. The food was great.

I love Best Diner! No matter what I order when we visit it is always good. My favorite items are the burger club with seasoned fries and their waffles with crispy bacon . Customer service is always on point and the staff is very friendly. You never have to ask for refills because they come by your table frequently. If you looking for a new spot check them out. Our waitress also mentioned that they are opened 24 hours on the weekends, perfect for a late night snack. You can thank me later.

While on our way to the beach we were looking for some dinner. As we checked Yelp for places near us, most had poor ratings. Then we found this diner that had better ratings than other places nearby. It's like your typical diner inside. Only a staff of four working this evening but they hustled. The two ladies serving were both friendly. They had a bunch of dinner specials. The menu is big, like a typical diner. Our food didn't take long after we ordered. The food was decent for diner food, we all got sandwiches. Here's the best part, 6 of us for dinner was only $60!! What a bargain. I would suggest this place to anyone on the area. Don't expect ambiance, think diner and you won't be disappointed.

French Toast with eggs. Added side of Bacon and side of hash browns well done.

Good simple food at a great price! I wasn't looking for anything more than a basic breakfast, and after passing this restaurant and seeing the commercials for so many years, decided to finally try it. So glad I did! Wonderful food, simple and delicious. Service was great. The waitress and chefs hustle to get your food out quickly. Plus they are open 24hrs. Great place to get a decent bite of food at any time.

the pancakes are good. the bacon taste like air. and it's vary VARY loud like it literally sounds like a mcdonald's play place in here. and the biscuit just looks sad and on top of all that my waitress border line was yelling in my ear and along side that there was a hair on my plate but the food came fast and it's open 24/7. 1 star

Brownie is more like a cake texture than fudgy but I enjoyed it and didn't mind the huge piece they gave me lol.

Came out to $18.61 total and I also had a tea.

But since I wasn't in the mood to drive I decided to go to the Quaker Village location. Oh how I wished I had driven out the Regional Rd location. Since it was shortly after 7:00 pm, I had my choice of several tables. I took my seat and waited for several minutes before a serve brought me a menu and flatware and told me that she thought another server would be taking my order. But she asked what I wanted to drink and got it for me. Since I knew what I was going to order I just sat and waited for the other server to come and take my order. I don't know where he was but the place was not very busy. He finally came after about 5 minutes and took my order. Because they were not busy it was quiet and it appeared that they kept everything cleaned up. The food was good and was delivered while it was still hot. I had also given my server my name for the frequent diner card and he wrote it down. However, when he gave a couple sitting in the next booth to me their bill it had my frequent diner info on there bill instead of there's. It took the manager to correct it. Then when my bill came it didn't have my frequent diner info on it so the server had to go back and correct things. I am assuming that this server is new and needs to be trained better with supervision. But I learned my lesson and will make the additional six mile trip to go to the Regional Rd location in the future.

It was a combination of my last chance to go to a restaurant before this huge snowstorm was about…read moreto hit and seeing the many pleas from the local businesses to encourage us to eat downtown since business was on the decline due to the weather. the economy and the post- covid blues. It was also a chance to catch up with Ron and Victoria who I have not had a chance to see for a while. They recommended Jake's Diner downtown, a couple of blocks down from Victoria's studio. Sounded like a plan to me, so I hopped in my car and headed to meet them down on South Elm Street. I am glad we went because there were not many people in the restaurant at all and by the time we left after lunch we were the only ones. I know they appreciated the business, We were promptly seated and the waitress was very helpful and provided excellent service Ron went with breakfast and had eggs and waffles and bacon and Victoria went with a lunch themed hamburger and onion rings. I decided to go Victoria's route and ordered a a hamburger with blue cheese and an order of fries with a diet Coke. Everything came promptly and was tasty. I must say, considering how expensive things are today, I found their prices to be pretty moderate. Plenty of refills on coffee and diet Coke without even having to ask. I liked that! The food was good, the company was wonderful and it's nice to have a breakfast/lunch spot like that downtown. I hope I caught Jake's Diner at an odd time and a pre storm panic because they certainly deserve patrons and to stay alive in downtown Greensboro. They offered us a nice meal at a good price. I even found parking right around the corner! Check them out!!

I was in the area pretty early running errands and hadn't been inside this location yet and decided…read moreto stop. I have dined at the Wendover location but this one is closer. This space has a bar area and of course a dining area for couples and groups as well. Once you enter there is a sign that encourages you to seat yourself. It only took a moment for a staff member to greet me at the bar once I selected a seat. I placed an order to-go and enjoyed the Christmas decorations and vibes throughout. I enjoyed sitting at the bar, dangling my feet and taking in the place. I also greeted a few diners enjoying their meals. There were even fire place sounds playing in the background, which put me in the holiday spirit! It was a nice and calm morning. The stools at the bar seemed to give enough space to enjoy a meal without being crowded. From what I could see, they do offer a limited selection of alcoholic beverages. I ordered a breakfast of grits, scrambled eggs, turkey sausage and a biscuit. Within a few minutes, I was given my items and set to go. I don't live far and the meal was still warm when I got home and the packaging was organized. They added napkins and plastic silverware in the bag, as well as butter. The grits didn't have any salt or extras so I added my own along with butter and that did the trick. I appreciate the consistency of the grits and the eggs were scrambled nicely. Happy that they had the option for turkey sausage. It was tasty. I'd say this was a quick and budget friendly breakfast choice.

I watched you cater to 3 other tables and pretty much ignore us. To be fair, I've eaten at Jake's on Wendover a few times. I knew the type of food. It's always been excellent. We arrive. The white lady with the high pony tail says "sit anywhere that's clean. Cool. Didn't get her name. I will call her P. All the small booths on the perimeter were full. We take the large booth in the back corner. The tables in the center were six tops. That booth wasn't clean clean. 50-11 crumbs in the chair. I wipe them off. We wait. No menus brought. One of the expediters walks by. Didn't even stop . A four top arrives. P is at their table in 2.5 seconds with menus and cutlery. Well dayum. Why don't we have anything? We see our waitress waiting on the table next to us. She takes the orders of the two older gentlemen making small talk even. No worries. What she did next should have told me how this whole experience was going to go. She brought the menus from their table to our table. Ummmmm, I don't know what cruds they could have had. Then asked what we wanted to drink. Ma'am! We just got menus. She returns with our water. Asks if we are ready to order. Ma'am' we just got these menus. We place our orders. I ask her name. Like you rolled up on us and didn't even introduce yourself. Jasmine takes our order. Food comes out faster than expected. Great! That's where it begins to go downhill. Jasmine never brought cutlery to our table. We had to ask and wait longer than I think it should have taken. Mind you I saw how P was working her table. Jasmine checked on the gentlemen several times. A family sat at a table on the other side of them. She was speedy with their service. More on that later. The gentlemen leave. Mind you Jasmine hasn't come back to our table at all. Wait once after we got all our food. That's how we go cutlery. I've drank my glass of Diet Pepsi. Would be nice to get a refill. She comes back with a wet rag to wipe off the table where the gentleman sat THEN asks if we need anything. I ask for a Diet Pepsi refill. Bae is in the bathroom and I let her know that he wasn't satisfied with his meal. She just looked like "oh, okay". No server should ever want to hear this. We did not ask for a manager. Meanwhile across the restaurant P has already served and turned that four top. Recall they were sat after us. As I continued to look around other tables were getting soda refills. AND I saw piping hot food delivered. Bae's eggs weren't piping hot. I mean "steam" was coming off these other plates. Bae came back to the table as I was telling Jasmine he wasn't happy with his food. We went there for French toast. He ate one piece. Half his eggs and half his potatoes. He asked for the check. This is after I'd asked for my refill. So I asked again. Jasmine brings out all the food for that family's table. She even brings. An extra plate. Looks over and must have remembered our requests. In the time she went to get an extra plate I could have had a soda refill which I really wanted to drink my soda in the restaurant as I finished my meal. She instead brings it in a to go cup. Fine but had she been more attentive I would have had a refill at the table. Enough about the mid level service. In case you're wondering Bae did tip her 15%. His food did not arrive piping hot. I didn't get a refill. We had to ask for cutlery and watch everyone else around us get better service even those in our section. No, the restaurant wasn't packed but patrons steadily flowed in. We shouldn't have been there for as long as we were. The food? Not terrible except the meat to bread ratio in the patty melt (see photo). Thin party. It was very tasty. I enjoy a good patty melt don't expect the meat to be that thin. The grits? Ouch! Not a lick of salt in the cooking liquid. If you do have salt in the water, please double it. Once I added salt they tasted fine. Bae didn't complain about the coffee so I will say that was fine. Bae says we're not going back to this location. Which is disappointing since it's a short drive and one of few places that serves regular degular French toast. I knew Jake's on Wendover and Downtown would be packed due to GHOE. The Battleground location was busy and getting overflow from the place up the street from them where we went first so we didn't stop there. As we were leaving Jasmine was already talking to the new patrons at the table where those gentleman were sitting. They hadn't been there two minutes whereas we easily waited five minutes before being acknowledged. I'm not saying don't go to Jake's. By all means give them a shot. They have been a Greensboro staple for decades! Our experience this time was less than 4 stars. That's all.

At this point, they know my face and my favorite bartender Dame is usually there. The atmosphere is lovely and most times they have jazz or R&B playing. Like I said before, it's always at a good volume and never too loud. I haven't been for brunch in a while but when I go on Thursdays, they have a special for whiskey and bourbon and also wine. It very laid back, however, I still suggest making a reservation as it came get busy out of nowhere. I've seen it happen. The last time I went I tried the Red Snapper bites which came with rice, Caribbean cabbage and olives. I can't stand olives (its a texture thing) but it wasn't on it at all, it came on the side which I thoroughly appreciated. Everything else was spectacular. I also let Dame make me a drink and I often will say "Bartender's Choice" which means they can create whatever they want based on what flavor profile I like. I'm not sure what the drink was but it was delicious and strong. I only needed 1 that night. The service is always great and it feels like you're catching up with old friends. Although, not pictured, I have tried the shrimp and grits, fried cauliflower, and crab dip with toast points. All are very good. This is one of my favorite spots that feels like my own version of Cheers. If you are in the area, check this place out. Wonderful food, wonderful vibes, and amazing staff.

Steak with lobster add on and Airline chicken with garlic mashed potatoes. All in all the food was delicious and the service was great. The only reason for the four stars was due to the wait time from seating to taking our actual order was over 20 minutes.

Upon walking in the place appeared clean, the customer service, not the best. But maybe someone was having a bad day, I get it. I'm so glad I did check my bag before I left because they did not give me ranch or plasticware, man I would have missed out on some amazing ranch. The young man gave me three ranches which I'm so disappointed I only grabbed one. Unfortunately I didn't get the best pictures but the food tasted great. The fries were thick cut (probably frozen) and let me tell you, I would just come back for the ranch! They have my favorite restaurant ranch. The slaw was really tasty - good ole southern sweet mayonnaise slaw, not too vinegary. The sandwich, not bad, good combo of toppings, they paired well together. I' ll be back.
