    Cash only, but ATM only charged $1.95. Great American breakfasts without any fiber, full of bad cholesterol, satisfying fat, and unhealthy calories. High octane bottomless mug coffee, swift accurate service with no pretension or scripted "customer service, " and pretty reasonable prices.

    We were planning to go to the neighboring establishment but their shake machines were down... we hopped next door to Courtesy Diner and enjoyed a more delicious (and cheaper) meal than we would have gotten there, anyway! The service was quick and we loved the authentic diner feel. Everything was tasty, we will be back for sure!

    I've loved coming to Courtesy Diner since college! It's perfect for late night meals, but also for breakfast. It's your classic diner and exactly what you'd expect. The menu is extensive and pretty cheap. They only take cash which isn't the most ideal for someone who loves using Apple Pay, but they do have an ATM.

    Cash only + mediocre diner food. The price seems affordable but you get what you pay for. This is an excellent spot for people who don't expect fancy. Just hearty meals with great, courteous service

    Always a great time at Courtesy Diner. Friendly and attentive service, delicious food for amazing prices. So happy to see they don't limit the Hangover and Hoosier to certain hours anymore!

    Fresh food, quick & friendly service. I always have a good time when I come here. Fast turnaround, and there always seems to be a good crowd eating. Small menu but that doesn't mean it's not tasty! It is cash only though, so come prepared. 10% surcharge on takeout orders too. My dad likes the hangover skillet and I usually get a cheeseburger. Good prices too! Is it the best burger you'll ever have? Probably not, but all of the other qualities make it great for me.

    The Hangover - country fried steak, eggs, hash browns - all with sausage gravy on top. Plus jalapeños!

    This place is amazing! Great greasy diner food, so cheap. Big fan of the Hangover. The country fried steak is delicious and the gravy is perfection.

    If you're looking for a down home cooking diner, this should be your next stop. It's a cash only diner and the food is unbelievable. The prices are extremely fair and the portions are a great size. The menu is fairly big so there's something for everyone to choose from.

    Now, let's keep this in the perspective of what this place is: a late night, getting in from the night before, or comfort not so healthy lunch place. I'd compare the place to a hopped up / bigger Waffle House....but even better food than a Waffle House. So what is that big slopping mess of food I'm showing? They call it a Slinger. Hashbrowns in the bottom. A burger patty. A couple of eggs. Chili...which was chili was pretty darn good. Then you top it off if you want...cheese, onion peppers...or nothing at all. It looks like a big mess...and it is....but....it's actually quite tasty. And...that's coming from a person...that (doesn't) like to mix his food all up...at all. The place on this day...was fairly clean...(not) a place I'd be afraid of contracting hepatitis or something...no...not at all. And I was especially impressed with the lady doing to the short order cooking on this Friday morning. She not only was fast...but she had a certain fluid motion to it all....that she was making the place "click" with ease. I liked the other place...for the kind of place it was. Don't worry....you will too...

    I've lived in the city now for 7 years. I'm not sure how it took me so long to go to a courtesy diner, especially with one right here in dogtown! I will say, thay it won't take me long to go back. Offering your typical diner fare, courtesy diner does everything right. The food was tasty, and service was fast and friendly, and the space is exactly what you want a diner experience to be. Will definitely be going back for more breakfast, and even perhaps some late night eats.

    Went to Courtesy Diner for a quick breakfast on a Saturday morning. We chose a booth near the jukebox in the corner and were quickly visited by our waitress for our drink orders. After she returned with our beverages we ordered our food. I selected the classic St. Louis slinger and my girlfriend got the 2 eggs, choice of meat (bacon) and hash browns. Our food came out quickly and was great. If you're looking for a no frills diner where you can get cheap food fast this is the spot for you. The only downside was that the establishment is cash only so be prepared for that. I do believe there is an ATM on-site in case you forget though.

    Breakfast was great! Patty melt was cut long ways but still good. Service was 10/10 - no nonsense. Very diner feel, gives spaceship but in a good way. Could use alittle more decorating.

    Courtesy Diner is the best quick diner food you find in the North Hampton area. The food is delicious and the pancakes are surprisingly one the best I've had. All of the servers are friendly and efficient. The restaurant brings in a typical diner-crowd but it's an overall great atmosphere. My only complaint is that it's cash only so you have to be prepared for that when you come.

    A typical good-old days American diner. Nothing stands out. Coffee is really diluted and tasteless. Cash only, quite affordable.

    Dined here on a quick visit to STL and it was wonderful! My husband found Southwest Diner on Yelp…read morewhile searching for brunch spots near our hotel, and the 1200+ positive reviews sold it for us. We found a parking spot on the street nearby, and we were able to be seated right away on the patio. There were other patrons, but it wasn't terribly busy by any means. The menu is expansive, with lots of ways to customize your order with different breads, toppings, or meats. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros with Tinga Chicken, and my husband ordered the Biscuits and Gravy. We also shared an order of the seasonal Pumpkin Spiked Pancakes. Everything came out hot and fresh, and every bite was delicious! The pancakes are made with cornmeal, and they were flavorful but not too sweet. The gravy for the biscuits is made with their house sausage, which makes it taste even better. I'd definitely return to Southwest Diner the next time I'm in town!

That illusion fades a little if you sit outside on a humid St. Louis summer day, but the vibe inside is great. The food is consistently tasty, the Bloody Marys are solid, and the whole place has a classic diner feel with a Southwest twist. There's usually a wait on summer weekends, so just keep that in mind, but it's definitely worth it.

We were seated quickly and our waitress, Karen, stopped by for drink orders and asked if we had dined there before, that was an affirmative. Karen was no nonsense and efficient, telling us about the special and answering questions about the pot pie. We happened to be seated next to a table from someone I knew, so we didn't have to pretend not to stare at the food they ordered, lol. We just talked about all that we ordered. Their Piccadilly fish looked amazing as did the rib special. I ordered the chicken pot pie, I had been thinking about it, and craving carbs to boot and it didn't disappoint. Karen informed me that it had lima beans and corn, so I wasn't shocked by that. Came in a bowl draped with puff pastry. Pastry was flaky and lightly browned, the base was creamy with lots of chicken chunks, carrots, corn, and lima beans. I haven't had lima beans before and I liked them. I had ordered the soup of the day, Tuscan white bean that sounded great, but I thought it was just ok. Husband ordered the fried chicken with slaw and mashed potatoes. The chicken was HOT! I enjoyed the leg piece I snagged off his plate, the breading is thin and adhered well to the chicken, the slaw was creamy, I didn't try the potatoes. Great home-style food, nice atmosphere, efficient service. Try the pot pie!
