As a trucker I've been here quite a few times for breakfast. Always great food and service. However this morning there was only 1 waitress (as no one wants to work anymore) so took a little time as she was very busy with a rather large group that took up 3 tables. Oh well, I'm a patient man. Anyway, they have this stuff called Goetta on the menu. Apparently a Cincinnati thing. Never had it before so asked one of the locals sitting by me about it. The way he explained it made it sound yuck. They tried to convince me its very good. But turned it down. They convinced the waitress to give me a little sample in which I was like, "no that's OK, you don't need to do that. Well she brought out a sample anyway. It certainly didn't look as yucky as the guy tried to explain. So I tried it anyway. Well maybe next time I'll order a plate of it as it didn't taste near as blech as he made it sound. read more

We stopped in here to grab some breakfast before hitting the slopes on a Saturday morning. They were busy, but we sat ourselves immediately. Our waitress was great, very nice and accommodating. The food was your typical diner food. read more

Depressing to say the least. Fries came contaminated with shrimp tails. Order was incorrect. Waited an hour only to get the greasiest burger I've had in my life. read more

Parked and had breakfast on Monday February 7, 2022. 2 eggs scrambled with bacon and coffee only $10, wow what a rip off. There was a snow storm the previous week and the parking lot was not cleared. I parked my rig where I thought I could get out but due the ice I was not able to get out. There was a wrecker parking there to pull trucks about 30-40 ft forward with prices starting at $275. Nothing for sale in the store to help. Had another company driver go buy a chain and pull me out. My last time stopping here. read more

This place serves great breakfast at fair prices, the waitresses try very hard to make sure you enjoy your meal even though the restaurant can often be understaffed because of the nature of 24/7 business. Only poor service experience was Mothers Day 2018, staff just seemed to be unorganized that day. Otherwise great and would recommend to anyone looking for a large variety of inexpensive options. read more

Howies Diner looked promising but I was quickly let down. First of all I paid $12 for a tea full of hair, 3 hairy pancakes, and 3 minuscule and hairy bacon strips. I have never been so disappointed in my life. In addition to this, it took over 10 min just to get the menus and the tables were all dirty. The cleanest one had a rag on it that the employees did not remove. read more

I'm all for the hole in the wall diners. They are usually the best but this one didn't turn out to be that great. My egg yolk was not yellow. Actually a little neon which grossed me out. My bacon wasn't a salty bacon the gravy looked like a gel. I said screw it im not taking my chances trying it. The place was not ur good cooking like I expected. It was just an overall bland food that was pretty dirty. Not a place I'll ever be back to. read more

Great home cooked breakfast, gives you that early morning I'm about to do some yard work vibe, but first I'm gonna eat a heart breakfast, but it's like autumn and the morning is cold but not too cold! You know? But anyways this restaurant is great! read more

Howie's is an amazing hole in the wall. If you're not looking for it, you'd miss it. While it's a bit pricey, you're getting what you pay for with the sandwiches. The appetizers, not so much. But no matter what you get here, it will be good. Friendly wait staff. Great food. What else could you ask for?! read more

Had the country style steak and mashed potatoes, side house salad, and blackberry combler. Very good and fantastic service by waitress! Old school diner with friendly folks. read more

Biscuits and gravy and the omelets are the best around. Breakfast any time always pleases.

I've worked at a diner in my hometown for about 10 years now, and I love finding them when i travel! Howies diner was amazing! Great food and excellent service! I wish I would of gotten our servers name because she was awesome, to take the orders of 6 people and not write anything down and get it ALL right was beyond amazing! Definitely need to stop here!! :-):-):-) read more

Always good food and excellent service. Always open breakfast anytime. Good desserts and friendly people. Sometimes a very busy place. No complaints from me. read more

Awesome place to eat. Had sausage gravy and biscuits and my wife had a Hoosier Eggs Benedict and both were excellent. Service was top rate. Our waitress was on top if everything. read more

When me and my friends came to a sudden realization that we had a desire to consume food, we concluded we would make the fateful journey from Boone county to Howie's Diner in Lawrenceburg. The mini 3 am road trip was full of joyful laughs, singing, and high expectations for a diner we had been told had some of the best breakfast food this side of the Tristate. Upon arrival, we dismissed the fact that it was a truck stop, as we do not judge a book by its cover. Nevertheless we enter the diner, ecstatic about filling our stomachs with food on par, if not better than Waffle House and ihop. As we walk in, the choice of choosing Howie's dinner begins to dawn on us. The diner was disgusting, and every single table was disgusting. Our 'chef' didn't get up until 5 minutes after we settled at the cleanest table, which had a dirty used rag on it. We would later discover that upon removing that rag, there was a secret dirt stain on the table. 5 minutes after the guy got up we finally got our menus , and then around ten minutes later we got our food. My friends got breakfast food and I got a grilled cheese with fries and a side of goetta. Now, I was told the grilled cheese had a side of fries with it, which made sense cause the grilled cheese was like 5 dollars, but they were separate. Other than the obvious hair on my sandwich, it was alright. My fries were alright too. Overall my experience was regrettable, and the car ride home was somber. While we were eating we all just wished we had gone to Waffle House down the road. Maybe it was the way it was because it was 3 am. Maybe it was all a dream?? Maybe it wasn't about the food, but the friends and memories I made on the journey on the way to Howie's diner. Howie's diner to me will always be about the journey and never the food. read more

well... i didn't expect my $6 meal to come out to be $13 fucking dollars. i'm pretty sure i got scammed and was genuinely thinking about doing a dine and dash considering all of my food was covered in HAIR, but i decided to be a good person and pay. the employees were just sitting and watching tik toks when they were supposed to be waiting on us. my friends and i are patient people, but the service was HORRIBLE. when we sat down, there was still a dirty wet rag on the table and nobody bothered to take it from the table, even when we moved it to the end. you get hardly anything for the price you pay. the sad part is the waitress was really nice, but she probably should've worn a hair net.... read more

Don't let the fact that this is in a gas station keep you from trying this gem of a restaurant. We had breakfast and it was yummy! The goetta skillet was great along with the chicken fried steak and gravy. Friendly waitresses and good coffee. If we lived here we would be regulars. read more
