The Green Hill Diner is an unexpected local hole-in-the-wall gem on the east side of Morgantown. We found the diner based on the great Yelp reviews. The diner is not fancy or upscale, in fact, the side walks could use some love. But the food is fabulous and service is downright friendly. The dining room is filled with about a dozen mismatched tables. The regulars were bantering and watching "The Price is Right" on the tv monitor. The place has a lot of small town character. Our server brought water quickly, took our orders and checked on us several times. The menu is divided into breakfast and lunch and dinner entrees. Breakfast is served until 11:00 a.m. Menu options include an interesting twist on traditional breakfast and lunch items. Eggs are farm fresh, oats are organic and tomatoes are heirloom. Daily specials are listed on a chalk board. Prices are reasonable. I had the Griddled Sourdough BLT which was packed with bacon, lettuce and heirloom tomato. My sandwich was beautiful and tasted great. The hand cut fries tasted delicious. My husband had Bob's Breakfast, a dinner favorite named for one of the dinner's first customers. The plate is a delicious concoction of hashbrowns, topped with two eggs, smothered in sausage gravy. My husband said "it works!" and devoured the entire plate. In a case by the cash register were the most gorgeous cookies that were huge. The cookies are made fresh daily. We took home a Blueberry Cream Cheese Cookie that was probably the best cookie that I've ever tasted. I'm not exaggerating. The cookie was chewy with caramelized edges and lots of flavor from the fresh blueberries. I'll be making regular trips to Morgantown for those dang cookies. The restrooms are a bit tight. I'm guessing a wheelchair could not get through the door. There are a couple picnic tables outside if you want to bring your dog and eat. There is plenty of parking in their private lot. I'll be returning to try the dinner menu. I have to try the Shrimp and Grits. read more

My bestie and I drove over an hour to eat here. Phenomenal greasy spoon food with a fancy twist. We had the fried goat cheese caprese salad to start. My friend had the Cuban tenderloin and I had the hot honey fried chicken grilled cheese. We got some lovely baked goods to go. Our waitress, Loretta Lynn, was great as well! And yes, that is her real name! read more

Green Hill Diner - Royal Red shrimp with grits and sausage/spinach combo. - Diners Near Me - Morgantown, Indiana

Stopped in for a first time visit and was seated immediately. The server was pleasant, attentive and informative. The atmosphere is homey and comfortable. Not too chic or trashy but just right for me. The menu has a LOT of choices and the selections have something for everyone. They serve breakfast until 2pm. The food was delivered pretty quickly after we ordered and was hot and delicious. I went with Bobs Breakfast that had hash browns, eggs of your choice and sausage gravy on top. I didn't need any seasoning and the flavor was great! We also ordered the tenderloin and it was cooked to perfection and had great flavor. The portion size was just right. Nice little restaurant to stop at before you head into Nashville. Worth a visit! read more

I'd driven by the Green Hill Diner several times on my way to Nashville, IN. Always lots of cars in the parking lot so I decided to stop in this afternoon to check the place out for a late lunch. I love the look of the place both inside and out. Very clean with a homey feel. Very friendly staff. Alexis, my server, was sweet as sugar cream pie. For my light lunch, I ordered the Grass-fed Steak burger Chili with Onion, Sour Cream, and a Root Beer Float. The chili was great. Tasty and a little different. I liked that it was not loaded up with beans- 4 stars. I absolutely loved the root beer float. 5 star. Alexis made it herself. -- When I asked Alexis her secret, she said that she starts by making an Ice Cream /Root Beer base like a milk shake, adds more ice cream and tops everything off with more root beer. Yum, Yum. I like this place. It was fun and I left feeling good. It felt like family. I'll be back with the wife to try more menu items, and, maybe some of the bakery good. Those cookies in the bakery case looked awesome. read more

Visited Labor Day weekend, place was packed. Service was quick. Food was delicious. The decor there is hilarious! They had old episodes of the Price is right on the TV from when Bob Barker had dark hair, we couldn't stop watching it. read more

Green Hill Diner - Sample of the menu - Diners Near Me - Morgantown, Indiana

This is a little hole in the wall looking place but the food is fantastic! The menu has many fusion current dining options plus old fashioned entrees such as beef manhattan. The fries are in beef tallow, beef is locally sourced and the tenderloins smoked in house. I had Monte Cristo: best French Toast I ever had and husband had classic Hoosier pork tenderloin which he gave high marks read more

I think we just found our new favorite restaurant. All made from scratch and in house. Local ingredients, beef from a farm in Trafalgar. Fries are cut in house and cooked in Beef Tallow. Creative menu. Great customer service, and you can tell they really care about the quality of ingredients. Good, honest and quaint. Can't recommend enough. read more

Green Hill Diner - Popper burger with hand cut, fresh tallow fries. - Diners Near Me - Morgantown, Indiana

See all

I'll start out by saying that I really, really wanted to give high marks. I love the concept, I love the way they have decorated, and the menu looked delicious. That said, our experience was disappointing. We arrived on a Sunday, late morning. I had already chosen my order, based on the diner's Facebook postings. It's good that we didn't have our heart set on breakfast because the waitress informed us that they were out of breakfast. On a Sunday morning. Ordering was quick, and we waited for our appetizer. Fried green tomatoes. I love fried green tomatoes and have had several different varieties. The ones advertised looked amazing. But that's not what arrived. Next came the entrees. Again, I ordered based on a post. The wedge salad picture looked delicious in the post. But that wasn't what arrived. It didn't even have the bacon on it. I asked and the waitress said "really they didn't put it on there?" Nope. I love bleu cheese, but it was so strong that I couldn't eat it. I added grilled chicken to the salad. It came on the side and was really dry. It's a cute place. It just didn't deliver when it came to the food. Edit: in my anger at reliving the salad and tomato fiasco, I forgot to mention the one good item - the fries! Fried in beef tallow! (Sorry vegetarian friends) They were amazing - so crispy and flavorful. read more

Great comfort food. Very local food menu. This is a good family dining experience. My meal was great and so was the service.

Words won't do me justice here. When you think "hidden gem", this is it. Must try. Tried the Poutine, fried green tomatoes, and a couple Burgers and ALL were amazing. read more

Green Hill Diner - Fried green tomatoes - Diners Near Me - Morgantown, Indiana

We recently moved to Morgantown and found this diner while driving to our new house. Since then we've gone once and I had to sneak there for a meal myself one day! The food is absolutely delicious and very flavorful. Usually restaurants lack seasoning and merely depend on what the food already tastes like and I'm not a fan of that. This place does the complete opposite and all their food ranks high on my flavor chart. I got the hot honey chicken grilled cheese. I will say that , although it is delicious, it is no way shape or form "Hot" by any means. I can taste the honey sauce, but there was nothing spicy about that sandwich, so keep this in mind. They have an in house barbecue honey sauce, but again, I don't taste any barbecue sauce in it at all. It tastes reminiscent of Dijon mustard with something sweet. Regardless, it's still appetizing. So appetizing that I don't have any pictures to show! It seems as if there's only one server, but she does an awesome job. She took our order and was very polite. She also gave great recommendations for my partner to try. The ambience is what you'd expect from a diner. Quaint and not much noise. There is also a tv that plays jeopardy. Overall, I highly recommend this place and will be coming back often. read more

The food never disappoints! The cowboy caviar, house made ranch, burgers, tenderloins, Manhattan's, fish all yummy!

This has been a bookmark for about a year or so. Grateful we tried it tonight. Looks like a great little diner that I assumed served just breakfast/lunch. They do dinner too- and it's fantastic !! We will now come back for breakfast. I ordered a salad and added the crispy. Chicken. Salad tasted fresh and home made dressing. Heirloom tomatoes. Crispy chicken was seriously crispy. And tasted delish. Husband got the beef manhattan. Perfect comfort food on a plate. It tasted like a pot roast with gravy and mashed potatoes and two grilled toasts. I also got the butternut squash soup. OMG. If there is squash soup on the menu, I am ordering it. It did not disappoint. I love soup in the fall and this was such a delight. Filled with all the fall flavor. We split a cookie which was put into an oven to heat up. It tasted like a smore. Thank you to our waitress Angel for such good service. read more

This place is amazing. Food was great. Service was friendly. I love how they locally source everything. Made from scratch. Use real butter & beef tallow. These days it's hard to find places to eat that aren't serving you garbage. I LOVE the fact they are serving REAL food! read more

Just about the perfect blend of country charm and fresh, contemporary offerings. The service is genuinely friendly and warm. read more

Not as good as expected My husband and I have been seeing Facebook posts for Green Hill Diner for quite awhile and talking about how wonderful the food has looked. After seeing the SOS and SOS burger today, we decided to make the 30-minute drive to check out this place. Let's talk about the good parts: We tried the fried chicken liver appetizer, which was huge and definitely shareable. Although served with ranch dressing, the cold ranch and hot chicken livers did not seem to go together. A little dish of white gravy would have put that appetizer over the top and would have helped cut through the rich chicken livers. Our fish & shrimp entree, which we shared, had a very nice, delicate batter although the batter seemed to be thinner and much better on the shrimp. The cole slaw was excellent, and we also enjoyed the homemade potato chips although we had asked to substitute fries. We also enjoyed the tartar sauce. But, we did face a few negatives: Although going for the old fashioned diner look, the inside of the restaurant needs some attention. We sat in a booth (in the corner), and definitely regretted that decision. I faced the wall, and the booth back was so unsecure that whenever the person sitting behind me (2 different customers during our visit) moved, I was thrown forward. One was a woman when we arrived; another was a thin man when we left, so this wasn't caused by a huge customer bumping around. It was constant, and I was lucky not to leave wearing my food or drink. The table covers are tattered and need to be replaced. You can tell most were simply pulled over the table tops and stapled on the underside of the tables, but those have been pulled down or fallen down at most tables. A much bigger problem involves ventilation. There cannot be much because the smell of fried foods permeated the dining area in a restaurant with only four tables seated at 5 p.m. I left Green Hill smelling like fried food; my hair and my clothes reeked of grease, and I jumped in the shower as soon as we got home. As far as the food... The price of $20 for one fish fillet, 8-10 small fried shrimp, coleslaw, and a few homemade chips seemed a little much. If some type of bread were included, I could justify the price tag a little more. The server went back to see if they had any cocktail sauce for the shrimp. They did not. I believe the person running the kitchen is a chef, and if that's the case, he/she would know that adding some horseradish and lemon to ketchup would make a simple cocktail sauce within minutes. We aren't ready to give up on Green Hill Diner. Maybe we'd enjoy breakfast much more although I wonder if we'll leave smelling like bacon or sausage. Those specials they show look so darn good, but they seem to be specials as opposed to regular menu items. Let's hope our next visit will be better. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g37346-d26908282-r972589042-Green_Hill_Diner-Morgantown_Indiana.html# read more

This is a true hidden gem of a restaurant. Everything is made from scratch. The fries and chips are fried in beef tallow. The tomato basil soup is a religious experience, particularly with whatever seasonal variation on grilled cheese is available. You will never taste a better chicken sandwich, whichever version you choose. The service is warm and friendly, and they have fun decor -- local artists and kids' coloring pages. Whatever is in the bakery counter, don't leave without one. This is REAL food done right. read more

Best food in town!! The service is amazing!! I met the owner this afternoon, and he was so nice. He made me a cup of herbal tea and it was delicious. I'm happy that they use natural ingredients and I know they aren't cutting cost with crappy ingredients. read more

Let me start off by saying that satisfying the entire family is a tough task . This place checked all of the boxes . I can't say enough how much I appreciate the lengths this team goes through to get everything right . You can't go wrong with a meal at the green hill diner . read more

Don't let the unassuming building and shabby interior throw you off. The food and service are fantastic. My husband and I couldn't decide what we wanted so we tried four of the "small plates" for breakfast, including a perfect piece of fried chicken dripping in hot honey on a flakey, buttery biscuit; a breakfast sandy with griddled brioche, sausage, bacon, cheese, egg, and house made Mayo that was more like hollandaise (so good); pimiento cheese grits with bacon and a sunny egg; and poutine fries with sausage gravy, an egg, and cowboy caviar (candied jalapeño) to cut the richness. The coffee was excellent, as well. Don't pass by this place, it's a gem! read more

If you are looking for a great place to get that special dish, Green Hill Diner in Morgantown is the place to go. The food is delicious and served hot. Although, I call it a dive, it has the feel of a good country cooking restaurant with husband and wife owners make sure we are always satisfied. We ate there in July for a birthday lunch and liked it so well, we stopped again in August. Go hungry and you will not be disappointed. Oh, and the old saying, "Never trust a skinny cook," well you can throw that one out the window. The owner/husband/chef is skinny plus superb. He does the right blend mixing ingredients making your taste buds dance all the way through the meal. We'll be back. Thank you, Marilyn, Lisa, Linda, and Phyllis. Yum Yum! read more

Stopped by this afternoon, it is what I think of when I want a small diner experience. The service was quick and friendly.

Very happy and will most defiantly we will go again. read more

Amazing stop! Good wholesome food with a quaint diner vibe including vintage Price Is Right playing in background. Wait staff was friendly and on top of it. My husband loved his Beef Manhattan and real strawberry milk shake. My chicken cordon bleu was absolutely delicious, as well, with real mashed potatoes and a delicious honey mustard sauce/gravy. My son loved his catfish sandwich too. A great little place on the way to Nashville, IN that will become a regular visit for us when we are in the area. read more

Loved the amazing fresh meal and great service from start to finish. I will return for more!

Very expensive i paid 15 dollars for the frenchtoast . Let me remind everyone what frenchtoast is . Its a piece of bread dipped in egg . It would be cool of the people who owned it would be a little reasonable. It was good but 15 bucks for two peices of texas toast dipped im egg is a hard one to swallow read more

Walked in and placed to go order. Staff was very pleasant. Love the old school atmosphere. Episodes of early 80s Price is Right played. Ordered 2 Classic Tenderloins. They were very good. Meat was smoked instead of just fried, very tender. Hand cut fries were also very good. read more
