While in Orlando, we made a stop through Celebration and checked out Downtown Diner after seeing the buzz on TikTok. This spot delivers that classic diner feel with a menu packed with comfort food that hits every craving. I went all in on the Breakfast Club and it did not disappoint. Toasted challah bread layered with bacon aioli, American cheese, fried eggs, sausage patties, grilled ham, and crispy bacon. Every bite was rich, savory, and perfectly stacked. I already love a traditional club, but this breakfast version takes it to another level. It is the kind of sandwich you start thinking about again before you even finish it. We also tried the Biscuit Gravy Platter with two biscuits smothered in gravy, served with eggs and sausage patties. Warm, hearty, and exactly what you want when you are in the mood for true comfort food. This was one of those stops that turns into a must return spot real quick. read more

If you are coming here when it is busy, like a weekend morning, be prepared to wait to be seated and to wait on your food. The wait will be well worth it. On this visit I sat at the counter and watched all the wonderful food come out of the kitchen. I was drooling the whole time, especially after I saw a side of bacon, the shrimp and grits, the bowls and really everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious. Ordered a patty melt and make your own skillet, with a folded egg and they got the egg perfect. The patty melt was perfect and loved the tots which were on the side. I feel on this visit they were not on their A game and still the food definitely made up for the wait. There is a reason why they are so busy, great portions, reasonable prices... and absolutely great tasting food. read more

We visited the Downtown Diner for breakfast during the week. Located in the Celebration area, we chose to sit outside because it was a beautiful day and I had my small dog with me. We were seated right away, which was a nice touch. The restaurant had a quaint atmosphere, and I particularly enjoyed the diner-style seating. The decor was a fun throwback. The food was very good, and they offer a great menu at reasonable prices. Their excellent customer service made our experience even better. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area. read more

Stopped in Sunday morning, was pretty busy. Sat right away. Had a miscommunication with the server and host so we sat for awhile lol all good, once we put in our order drinks and food were out in like 5-10 mins. Very fast, I had the biscuits n gravy platter. Comes with two eggs, breakfast meat(I got ham steak). The bowl of biscuits (like 3-4) was a huge portion. Coulda used a slight more gravy but very good overall. The eggs were cooked perfect and the ham steak was really good! Still lots of more options to try so I'll be back soon. read more

I was so excited about this menu because of all the gluten free options! However, I had their omelet with gluten free home fries and the home fries were both cold and hard as a rock. Also, there was cheese in the omelet, which I only realized halfway through (I'm lactose intolerant). Anyway, although our server was super nice, I was very underwhelmed and won't be returning. read more

Such a cute addition to Celebration. I love the old school diner feel with the counter and the decor. Speaking of decor, I visited during December when the whole restaurant was taken over by The Grinch, and it was adorable. We stopped in for dinner after experiencing the "snow" in the downtown area. For a table of 2 while it was pretty busy, we were seated right away. The service was quick. The sodas were massive. Fried green beans and Buffalo chicken dip was to start. I really liked the fried green beans and the dipping sauce. For entrees, we ordered the Steakhouse Salad and a Cheeseburger. The salad was fresh. However, the steak was overcooked. It was well. But like really well. Everything else tasted great, and I especially liked the croutons. The burger got good praises. read more

Decided to eat brunch while we visited celebration town. We got seated outside which was nice because there was a breeze and we also went on 4th of july so we saw them preparing for the event later that night. They were busy. We ordered the patty melt with tater tots and steak bowl. Def was not expecting the steak to be chopped up and not sure what type it is but I did not like it. My bf liked his patty melt though. read more

I've always loved and adored diners. This one absolutely was just as incredible as I had hoped. The food I got was delicious and despite the restaurant being packed, I didn't have to wait long for my food. The house made chips were also pure perfection. If you love diner vibes, this place is the perfect spot for you. I absolutely want to come back and give their breakfast foods a try. read more

We had the am sandwich it was good, their home fries also good. We made the mistake of ordering the famous Dutch babies - this was awful not sure how to describe it. Service was top notch! Ambiance was cute but restaurant was dirty and we got seat it at the back by restrooms and it was incredible hot- air conditioning wasn't working. I might just need to try more things in their menu but based on today's I wasn't impressed to go back. read more

So it's been quite awhile since I've been to Downtown Diner. This is my first time eating breakfast, usually I would come for lunch. I am on the fence about coming back, as I was not impressed with the experience this time around. We tried WORLD FAMOUS DUTCH BABIES. It was like trying an interesting omelet with berries and whip cream. We did order the A.M. Sandwich with home fries. That was tasteful. The service was not bad. They sat us down pretty quick. However, I think the experience was not as desirable, as it appears that the back section where they sat us, the A/C was out, during a day when the weather was 94 degrees outside. Additionally, I felt the floor was sticky. The ambiance is designed a like a small town diner. I gave the place lower stars based on my experience this time around. read more

I've seen this spot appear to open and close a few times since the pandemic era... and it's been a favorite of mine each time! The vibe in here is the perfect cozy, classic diner feel, and they have plenty of options at an affordable price point. They serve all day breakfast, so naturally I went with a classic breakfast spread with a chocolate chip pancake on the side! The meal was what you want out of a diner breakfast - a good variety of options, good portions, and a solid pancake. I enjoyed my meal and so did the rest of my party! They also had a good amount of allergy friendly options for our gluten free friend. Service was friendly and we weren't rushed. I love this location and the food here! read more

Server was friendly and nice. Maybe we ordered the wrong things but it was bland and underwhelming. My husband had the south of the boarder skillet. No real salsa. Four small bites of tough steak. I had the impossible skillet. Very Bland. So disappointed as we live close and wanted to find a great breakfast place without going to Disney. read more

Really great diner! If you're in the area and looking for a place to eat, Downtown Diner is a must try. I recommend the Monte Cristo sandwich ($15) and the Celebration Club sandwich ($15). Both were extremely delicious and very filling. The atmosphere of this diner is very friendly and relaxed. Indoor seating as well as dog friendly seating options are available. We loved their outdoor, COVERED patio. Service was great (Graelynn, you ROCK! - and so sorry if I misspelled your name) and food came out in a timely manner. After you eat, take a nice walk around on the trail located right across the street from the diner. The scenery in this town is beautiful. read more

Edit 2: Oh and FYI the owner is lying. Below is a screenshot from HIS WEBSITE proving the pizza was previously a flatbread. Photo aligns with memory as well. Shameful and confirms the nickel and dime business strategy I observed. Edit: Perplexing response from the owner. Essentially dismissed all of my criticisms while confirming the fries changed, the pizza is a tortilla, that my party was given rude treatment for sending the tortilla back, and ignored the pricing comment. Business 101 for you - cheaper to get return business than to win new business. Scolding your customers sharing valid criticisms in the comments is a dumb way to operate. Might as well just buy more curly fries - you'll see margin compression when you have to do more promos after people stop returning. Oh and for what it's worth. Yes a thick burger is an issue when it's a smash burger. As others have noted this place has gone down hill recently. They used to have wonderful Cajun curly fries, now replaced with thick bland cut pub fries. Breakfast pizza used to be on a flatbread. Instead was an uncut tortilla - like an open faced burrito. Burger was thicker, messier and less cleanly constructed. We used to be big fans of the bottomless mimosa deal (albeit in the evening). However it is not marked with a price so the owner silently changes it - our waiter said he was embarrassed when someone noted it was a cheaper option than the mimosa flight (which is offered all day as opposed to a special so not unusual to mildly cannibalize another menu item during promo hours). Service was mediocre to poor. Visibly shook their heads at us when we pushed back on the tortilla as an unacceptable change to the pizza. Don't think we'll be back unless they stop with the cheap cutbacks. read more

Okay, so this is a tough one but I've just about had it with this diner. Had been going every Sunday for the past couple months after dropping dad off at church. Rounded up from two because it's not a chain, the 80's theming is fun and the service while sometimes spotty is always friendly. The food is just not diner quality. The waffles and pancakes for the price are so disappointing. To be specific, they are dry in consistency, bland in flavor. Today I was struggling to find something on the menu that I wanted. My go-to order at fast food places is a simple sausage patty on a biscuit. I asked if that was possible and the server gave me a strange look. I was like, I see you serve them with gravy, why can't I just get one without gravy and you charge me less? He talked to the kitchen and then the kitchen expo, then came back and was like no. Weird, right? I mean, can't you just charge me for a biscuit, and one sausage patty?? The location is great, and there is a tragic lack of diners in this area, but unfortunately, not only is the food disappointing and overpriced, they won't even try to accommodate very simple off the menu requests. Such wasted potential. I won't be back and I do not recommend. read more

Fun diner that takes you back to the 60ies. Really like the look and style of it! Friendly customer service and very attentive server. It's in a beautiful area called celebration with a lake, a window seat or outdoor seat will give you a nice little view of it. I was asked if I want more coffee and how I am doing a few times, always with a smile. Great atmosphere for a casual but fun breakfast/brunch/lunch. They have a great menu that covers pretty much everything for everyone, including gluten and dairy free options. They also have almond milk for coffee. Food was ok, the egg omelette seemed a little on the soft side, but the vegetables, potatoes and toast were tasty. Coffee was good. I would definitely stop by again and try out some other items from the menu. read more

The diner itself is clean and cutely decorated with nostaligic toys, but we were very disappointed in the food. I ordered a breakfast pizza, a favorite of mine. The menu said it was made on a flatbread. It came and it was on a tortilla. There was no way to pick it up and eat it like a pizza or even cut it up and eat with a fork. I had to scrape all of the toppings off, bite some tortilla then fork some toppings. Basically, it was an open-faced burrito. Gravy was served on the side and was only about three tablespoons worth. It didn't go far. Usually the gravy serves as the base sauce for the breakfast pizza. Just as well they didn't serve it that way though since they used a tortilla as it would have been even harder to eat. The other two people with me are both fans of reubens and that's what they each ordered. The worst they had ever had. Reubens are a sandwich with the meat, sauerkraut, 1000 island dressing, and served on rye bread. The reubens here had the meat but only a sprinkle of sauerkraut, no dressing, and was not served on rye. Will not be returning. read more

Standard diner breakfast food. Nothing fantastic that stood out, but we did try their famous berry Dutch Baby, a huge crepe-like bowl filled with blueberries and strawberries and whipped cream. It was different but good. I used syrup to make it sweeter. Alice our server was awesome. She knew the menu, made recommendations and answered our questions thoroughly. The place was clean but very cold during a Florida winter chill (42 degrees) and all diners wore their coats read more

Service was excellent, I was traveling with a couple of my vegan friends and they were able to go above and beyond for them. They had a breakfast sampler with "Just Egg" and Impossible burger patties. I had the BBQ roll which had perfect portions of beef to fried onions and a side of their delightfully vinegary potato salad and a shareable fried pickles!! Soooooo salty and good!! Sam was such an awesome server and Mike the manager gave me my check-in high five it was such a personable experience!! I wish I lived closer so I could come back on the weekends! read more

First time visiting - was sat right away inside around 1pm. Our server came over quickly and took our order, he was friendly. The inside was clean and it was pretty busy but cleared out as we ate our meal. My friend got an item off the breakfast menu and I got the Philly cheese steak in the pancake. It was an interesting combo, definitely more greasy than I was expecting and they used a weird cheese on top - not sure I'd order it again. Our server seemed to disappear and it took a while for us to get our check, even after I made eye contact trying to get him to come over. The prices were a little high - so I might not be back soon but do recommend giving it a try to others who like the diner atmosphere! read more

This was located in a VERY cute town, almost looks like a small town in a movie setting. Our waiter seems a bit distracted and maybe overwhelmed because he wasnt as attentive to his own section. Instead, he was helping other tables at the patio, walking around, etc. just everywhere. Our brunch was very good and kids loved the Dutch baby while I ordered a PB&J French toast. read more

Cute diner with an 80s theme write by the water in Celebration. I enjoyed looking at all the old toys and signage while waiting for my food.

The croissant was nice and fluffy and made it taste great. Would recommend to people staying around the area. read more

This place is the best in the area. Whenever we are in town, we love stopping by here for breakfast. It's super cool inside, with fun decor, great views of downtown Celebration and the water, and the patio is nice as well. Amazing location right in the center of town. Servers are great, food comes out quickly and everything tastes amazing. Absolutely love the home fries, perfectly seasoned and crispy. Bacon is also phenomenal.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was so consistently frustrating that I feel obligated to warn others. From the moment I walked into this diner, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. The staff behind the counter barely acknowledged my presence--no greeting, no eye contact, just an annoyed glance as if I were inconveniencing them by showing up. When I finally placed my order, the server sighed audibly, rushed me through my choices, and responded to simple questions with curt, borderline rude answers. It felt less like a diner and more like I was interrupting their day. The food only made things worse. For a place that markets itself as a classic diner with "hearty portions," the servings were shockingly small. My main dish arrived on a large plate that made the portion look even more disappointing--barely enough to qualify as a light snack, let alone a full meal. The side that was supposed to come with it was laughably tiny, as if it had been measured out with the goal of giving as little as possible. Considering the prices, the proportions were completely unreasonable and nowhere near worth what I paid. When I politely asked if the portion size was standard, the response I got was dismissive and defensive. Instead of offering an explanation or solution, the staff member implied that I was the problem for expecting more. That attitude alone guaranteed I wouldn't be returning. Overall, this diner failed on the two things it should do best: friendly service and satisfying food. Rude staff, minimal portions, and a general sense that customers are an annoyance rather than a priority made this an easy decision to not come back. Save your money and your time--there are plenty of other diners that actually understand hospitality. read more

We were meeting my mom for brunch and this was a good halfway point. It's conveniently located in downtown Celebration close to I-4 and 192. We arrived at 11:30 on a Saturday and were told there would be a 20 minute wait for a table of four. They take your phone number and text you when the table is ready. After only a few minutes, I received a text that there was a table open. We were seated outside which I normally don't like, but it was about 80° and we were in a shaded area so it was fine. There was a nice view of some water across the street and plenty of people walking by. The patio area is dog friendly. I ordered the veggie omelette with home fries, and English muffin. My omelette was really good, but I forgot to ask them to not put onions so there was a ton of onions in there I had to pick out. Luckily they were in a long strings so it was easy. my husband ordered the breakfast baby, which is a Dutch baby pancake with three eggs, ham, cheese, and country gravy. He had heard of Dutch babies from me but they're not normally on a menu so he wanted to try it. He liked it, but it was huge so he didn't even eat half of it. He said the bloody Mary's were good. Especially that strip of bacon they put in there. The bacon in his second drink was about half the size though. Parking is a little tricky in this area, especially if you don't like to parallel park. I parked about two blocks away, but the weather was really nice so it was fine. All the staff was really friendly and fast. Our waitress told us when we arrived that there was a party of 35 people inside so it might take a while for our order. It really didn't though. I will say the bathroom needed to be cleaned. They probably didn't have anyone checking on that. read more
