    The food is top tier here. You can tell things are hand cut and made to order. Everything comes out hot and in great portions, well seasoned. You can't beat a family business and the prices and beyond affordable for the quality. It's so busy in here but the ladies get you sat and get you right each time. The owner makes his way around and checks in. They have regulars for a reason.

    This is the potato bowl. It was still full s when I was done  Jummy

    We had not eaten at this restaurant since Butler. We decided to give it a go and were very pleased. The menu is geared towards lumber jack food. Everyone in the restaurant looked ready for "big food". The diner served it We we greeted immediately and coffee was served. The dining area was spotless and cleaned immediately as someone got up. It is comfortable to sit as long as you wish and the coffee flows I had an egg bowl. Two eggs prepared beautifully on top of sausage gravy, friend potato, cheese and sausage. Yum Too big for me to eat. I about 1/4 at most. I wanted to eat more, just too full. My husband had chicken fried steak, eggs, grits or potato and toast. He ate it all. He loves lumberjack food! The wait staff was personable and interactive. Rash to talk with and she mad us feel like we were at home. Will we go back? You betcha. Something's change and some stay about the same! Glad we stopped in

    I had never been here before but was happy to try a new place to me! I was able to find a table and was greeted with menus and water. I ended up getting the perfect amount of food! Eggs, bacon toast and oj, it was perfect and delicious! The alumni I met also enjoyed his breakfast! All around great experience, and I can't wait to go back!

    We stopped in after horseback riding for a late breakfast, they were a bit short staffed but Emily and her team kept on top of it! The food was great, we all agreed that we were glad we stopped in! Can't wait to come back! Update: My card was charged twice, so be careful of that

    There was a small wait before being greeted at the door. Once I sat down, I was taken care of right away. The food was made to order. My potatoes came out cold. I let my waitress know. She apologized and had a fresh plate delivered to my table in minutes. The pancakes were probably the best I've ever had. The outside had a perfect crunch while the inside was super fluffy. I ordered grits and didnt have a chance to fix them up. They were delicious with just butter after eating my pancakes and potatoes. They played old school videos on the TV. You pay upfront. I can't wait to go back.

    The cinnamon pancake is to die for. Sunday mornings are slammed, so be prepared for some waiting. But the food is fantastic. The dining area is pretty typical found object diner. We will go back for sure.

    One of my favorite diners in Indiana. Great service, been open for 40 years.. Great breakfast, food and service!

    Corned beef hash and apples
    Sandy L.

    Corned beef hash, better than it looks! Good country fried potatoes and chunks of corned beef. Finally, I found some not out of the can! The gravy I saw go by looked good too. I'll have to go bake and try it. The hash is an occasional treat, $17.25 expensive because they don't hold back on the meat, quality costs and it's worth it. Comfortable and friendly place.

    OMG, why haven't I tried this little diner before? Honestly! I stopped in this morning and was greeted with happy faces and the smell of fresh coffee. Went simple with the pancake breakfast, and oh my! The grits were spot-on perfect. The eggs were to order, and the pancakes ... THE PANCAKES ... the sweet crème they roll with are something special! They were crisp, sweet, and hearty! Was thoroughly impressed, so give them a shot if you're in the area!

    Pretty, pretty, pretty good breakfast place. With a very unassuming and unpretentious on both the inside and the outside, with very hard-working staff, we still had a very solid experience. We were impressed with the variety of choices that the menu offered, we had a really hard time choosing our meals. Shoutout to the people I was with who agreed to quasi share all our meals. I really liked the corned beef hash I got, and the Bill's Breakfast my friend (not named Bill) got. My husband got the chicken and waffles with the h it honey upgrade. This was the weakest of the dishes, and the honey was just mixed with hot sauce. We still ate and enjoyed it though. Overall, this was a surprisingly good experience. My not-named-Bill friend is a local and said he may have found a new place to be a regular at. Give them a try!

    If you have a sweet tooth get the cinnamon roll pancakes. I think they taste better than a cinnamon roll.

    Not even sure we knew this place existed before today. Doing brunch with good friends today and they came up with Keystone Diner. Not sure if there was a wait or not since our friends were seated when we got there. There was definitely a wait later. Food was kinda your typical Diner fair, which done right is great. Our server was friendly and drinks and refills were always there. Food didn't take long to get and I loved the open kitchen. Food ordered was: Earls Simple Breakfast ( Bacon, Two eggs, biscuit and Added a side of gravy ) Breakfast Bowl ( Hash browns, onions and sausage topped with 2 scrambled eggs then smothered with sausage gravy and shredded cheddar, w toast) Build Your Own Omelet ( ham, bacon, sausage and cheddar cheese) and Eggs Benedict with country ham. No one had any food complaints. Portions were good size and everyone was full. Very much a dive but dives always have the best food. We will be back.

We started with coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice, and you can immediately tell they don't cut corners--the OJ tasted bright, fresh, and totally worth it. Now let's talk about the food... because WOW. The Signature Pancake Platter was unreal--fluffy, golden, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes that honestly might be some of the best I've had. Adding the soft poached eggs took it to another level (that perfect yolk ), and the hash browns were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside--exactly how they should be. We also ordered the West Coast Omelet with feta, and it was packed with flavor--super fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly, and a generous portion. And yes... we had to add extra pancakes (no regrets), which were just as amazing the second time around. Shoutout to our server JJ, who was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Service like that really stands out. Everything came out hot, fresh, and quickly, and the portions are more than generous for the price. You definitely won't leave hungry. The benches were the only downside, it is definitely time to replace them! But tables were clean and cute inside. If you're anywhere near here and craving a top-tier breakfast or brunch, don't even think twice--this spot is a MUST. Already planning my next visit!

It's a typical "diner" menu with eggs, pancakes, French toast, and crepes. They also offer some sandwiches like burgers, chicken sandwich, wraps, and even a Greek gyro.

This is a great, affordable option in downtown Indianapolis. Check it out when in town.

I've eaten many steak omelettes and this is the first time I've ever been able to order the steak cooked to my preference. Most places serve them well done. I asked for medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. It also had cheese and diced green peppers and onions. Nice size and great flavor. Their hash browns were perfect - crispy on the outside but tender inside. The pancakes are large and nicely prepared - not too heavy but not too light! The waffles are also very good - very large and circular - not as thick as Belgian waffles but very good nonetheless. The fried sliced loaded potatoes were excellent. Cheese, bacon, peppers and onions - again, very tasty. Finally, biscuits and sausage gravy were also very good. The gravy had plenty of sausage in it and it was not too runny and not too thick!

The flavor was ok but needed spices or cheese or something to pump it up. Maybe I don't know what to order but my impression was it was fun to try but not a go to spot. I might try something going again and getting something g else but there are a lot of such places where the eggs are fluffy and full which I would probably try first.

The grill is open to the dining room and Jimmy was busy frying eggs and dishing up grits. Vintage local photos hang in the wall. Our server recommended the pork tenderloin or the BLT sandwich. Specials were listed on a blackboard. The menu offers a broad selection of breakfast and sandwich items. Beverages came out quickly. Our server was friendly, engaging and a super 5 star. My husband tried the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich with fries. Jimmy batters and fries the tenderloin right before your eyes. The sandwich is hearty and juicy. I had the fried chicken lunch special which comes with mashed potatoes, green beans and toast. The plate was huge. I'm a connoisseur of mashed potatoes and these mashed potatoes were made fresh with bits of red skin and topped with a creamy gravy. The chicken was moist inside with a crispy coating. The green beans were ok. I was too full to try the desserts, but the blueberry shortcake sounded awesome. Another day. Restrooms are clean. A parking lot is available behind the building.
