    Coffee is weak here
    Kerry B.

    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.

    Omg 5 stars for the vegan breakfast options! I've been searching for a place near Disney (that isn't Disney) AND is open before 11 am! I finally found it, Eureka! Seriously though, the staff is so friendly and the food is delicious! We sat outside on a beautiful Saturday morning and enjoyed the heck of out of breakfast. We can't wait to come back!

    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.

    Dirty tile by game area

    Bathrooms were filthy. Front door needs to be repainted. Game area tile looks like it has never been wiped down. There was water dripping from the ceiling when we were eating.

    Beautiful day to sit outside

    We have been a few times for breakfast. Enjoy the large menu choices and service. Very casual indoor/outdoor seating. Lots going on in Celebration all year round to people watch. This last time Carmen took great care of us. Say Hi! Some favorites are their Celebration platter, omelettes, burritos and pancakes. Enjoy!

    French toast with peanut butter

    Food was good & Marcus (our server) was wonderful. 1st time there but will be back. I got French toast with peanut butter, and friends got the Celebration Benedict. We shared a side order of bacon.

    We got Buffalo chicken dip and the fried pickles, and mimosas! All so good. Also got the club which was great. The patio is dog friendly. The steak salad is also. Great! The service was amazing as well. They get you seated so quick! The ambiance is so cute as well inside. Only thing I didn't like is the Mac and cheese. The homemade chips are amazing.

    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.

    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.

    Famous Dutch babies - couldn't understand this plate - not tasfull at all
    Erika M.

    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.

    Downtown Diner (Celebration, Florida)
    Jose G.

    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.

    Chocolate chip pandake
    Jackie S.

    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!

    5 Egg Omelette with grits and multigrain toast.  Grits thick on top but very watery after the top layer was removed.
    Johny M.

    My omelet was overcooked and dry but it was good. For a $20 omelet I expected better. The grits were a little watery but delicious. A little thicker would've been better. The service was good. The ambiance fine.

I recalculate, the tab, but find the practice deceitful. I also HATE the server coming to the table with the little electronic device that has the patron submit payment, while having to make the corrected calculation of the tab.

I've come here for my birthday. I already have plans for a visit when my family gets here in two weeks. Obviously, the food is phenomenal.

No matter who the server or floor manager is. Typically, it's served with creamy mashed potatoes, but I usually swap it out with Momma's Mac and Cheese. I've also had the Smothered Chicken, Bee Haven Fried Green Tomatoes, and the Skilled-fried Chicken Paillard, which is what most of the staff recommends as their favorite dish.

    Those who follow my reviews know that I eat out quite a bit and review hundreds of restaurants on…read moremany platforms. So when I say that this steakhouse is among the best meals I've ever eaten I am saying quite a lot. Honestly, I only ate here because I had a gift card, but I will be returning over and over again because meals do not get any better than this. Let me explain. From the moment you walk in your treated with incredible courtesy. Every member of the staff, whether they are waiting at you or just walking by make eye contact and make you feel valued just for being there. The ambience of the restaurant is typical steakhouse, but it is quite elegant as can be seen in the pictures. The tables are set beautifully, but still, I can't get over how good the service is considering the number of people at the restaurant. Other fine restaurants should experience an evening here to learn how to do it right. But at a steakhouse ir comes down to two things. The quality of the steak and how it is prepared. Here is where they excel. Every cut of meat is among the best. Not simply top cuts but carefully selected to be exemplary. And each steak is treated in a way that you would expect something so valuable to be prepared. They are cooked perfectly, but not just temperature. The balance of seasoning adds to, but never overpowers the flavor of the delicious meat that they are serving. We start our meal with the crabcakes, not your typical crabcakes which are heavily into the breading and minimally into the crab. These are wonderful cakes of crab prepared, unique and beautiful way, which was just so tasty that I was thrilled that I had ordered it. They brought over some complementary meatballs, which also were stellar. But the main event was the steak and as previously stated, it was just delicious. Clearly among the best I've ever eaten even a place ranked as the top steakhouses in the world. Clearly, the people that do the rankings didn't drop in here. Because we were celebrating a birthday, they gave us a complementary dessert. Nothing fancy, but we were not going to eat dessert anyway having filled up on a wonderful meal. Perhaps next time. This is the type of place where you are already looking forward to next time as you are even getting ready to walk out the door. Loved it and highly recommend.

Firstly, the complimentary cordial valet that greets you driving up is a perfect touch. It starts you off feeling well attended and pampered. Good job!

All Staff are both formal (tux!) and friendly. They are swift, Helpful and with great attention to detail. I broke a wine glass & they were all over it in a moment, like it never happened! And apologized to ME?! We love our steakhouses for special occasions, so this is a definite yes in our list. We decided to choose an app to share, two entrees & one side. We got a crab cake app (fabulous), 4 complimentary meatballs (also delish!), side of au gratin corn flake top potatoes, 24 oz bone in ribeye and 8 oz filet mignon, butterflied. ALL great! If you are in the market for one splurge dining experience off Disney property, then Don't sleep on Charley's. They know how to make it special in every way! FYI our bill-$200 before tip.
