Tasty, friendly, but a but greasy. I had never been here before, and was excited to try it. I ordered the breakfast 2-2-2. It came with two eggs, two bacon, a biscuit and gravy and I added a side of hash browns. It was all very tasty, until I slid the hash browns onto the other plate and saw all the grease. It was a bit to much for me. I was taken care of by Patricia and she was wonderful. It was a great local diner as everyone knew everyone. The servers called folks by name, wished everyone a good day, and just seemed happy to be there. I'll be back but next time I'll ask for the potatoes to be cooked without the grease. read more

Lake Alfred Diner - The breakfast, so delicious! - Diners Near Me - Lake Alfred, Florida

We returned here for lunch last week and I ordered a roast beef & swiss sandwich. I was sorely disappointed, as it truly was tasteless. It clicked on me to update this review after having a similar sandwich this afternoon at another establishment, that was half the price and x5 better tasting (WTH?). The wife had a pancake stack and was satisfied, but I was not. Ordered the toddler a grilled cheese and fries. He poo-pooed the sandwich and I can't blame him - a single lab of American cheese that was not fully melted. He ate the fries and I had one to test out. It was just okay. The service was fine, but the meal was a total disappointment (for me and the wee one). We will be back, but it could be awhile. but unknown if for anything other than breakfast. It would be very hard to screw up breakfast foods, but it can happen. I feel bad taking this place down from a 5 to a 2, but it is what it is for the time being ('could've been better' for sure). read more

We have eaten here a few times, food is always delicious, service is great and it's very affordable. Highly recommend for breakfast, all the breakfast food I've eaten had been delicious! read more

This was my first time there and I'll definitely be back. I grew up going to diners so I always love finding a good one. I had an omelette that had the option of being turned into a breakfast burrito, and it was awesome. Our waitress was super kind and very attentive! The atmosphere was what you find at any diner. Another awesome thing was that their outside patio was dog friendly! Will definitely be back again! read more

Lake Alfred Diner - Diners Near Me - Lake Alfred, Florida

Stopped in while doing some business in the area. It was a bit quiet (snowbirds gone) for our two tops, so we had plenty of inside/outside seating choices. The waitress was very quick to offer coffee and some recommendations. The locals sitting about were also very friendly. We had a vegetable omelette, homefries, biscuit and a meatlovers omelette with hashbrowns. Everything was hot, delicious and plentiful. Hope to return again. Enjoy! read more

Lake Alfred Diner - Diners Near Me - Lake Alfred, Florida

Great food and service. Nicely updated inside and out. A great place to enjoy a leisurely meal.

This was our lunch stop as we headed to Savannah. I was looking for a casual, local vibe and this restaurant was it. They had a lovely outdoor patio. The weather was cool but sun was warm so it was a great spot. I decided to keep it light and chose the Greek salad with dressing on the side. The salad was good. Lots of tomatoes, cucumbers, and kalamata olives. It also came with a side of pita bread which was served warm. Very good. Husband had the same but with grilled chicken. We both liked the salads very much. Service was great. Parking was easy. Good stop. read more

What a nice meal! The diner is very cute with indoor/outdoor seating. We sat outside, not too hot this time of year. I had the turkey club with sweet potato fries. Yummy and nicely presented! Tina recommended the cinnamon butter to dip my fries in. Good call! Excellent service! My friend had an omelet with hash. Lots of food and a clean plate in the end. Nice spot if you are driving thru! Friendly staff, parking, and clean facilities. read more

The service and friendly staff is the best part of this diner. Their burgers electricity went out as soon as we order, and the staff put us together a really nice lunch under the unusual circumstances. We love this diner! read more

Excellent place. If you are in the area looking for a quick lunch or a nice breakfast.... this is it. The dinner has anything you would want for breakfast or lunch. We came for an early lunch and it was just perfect. Good food, big portions, little prices. The club sandwich is really good... crunchy bacon, fresh turkey breast and super fresh lettuce and tomatoes. The bread was nicely toasted and French fries were not greasy. Service is attentive and very friendly. read more

Food is great, service is fast. Not one thing I can say negative! Must try!! Staff is super nice!! read more

The waitresses were fast & friendly, and we sat down quickly. Definitely a local spot in Lake Alfred. We have eaten here before and food was ok, but this time not as good. I had the grilled chicken salad, and my wife had the Cuban sandwich. The chicken in my salad was not very good and not good pieces. My wife said that the Cuban sandwich was not very good also. We both cam home very bloated and my stomach was bloated, nauseous and upset the rest of the day. The coleslaw seemed to be the best part of the meal but wouldn't go back again. read more

Always good service. Nothing fancy but good variety of choices. The daily specials are very generous.

Decent diner catering towards an older, local clientele. The location is an old Hardee's restaurant that still looks like a Hardee's but they fit in a lot of seating and have an outdoor patio. Funny old metal signs dot the walls. Service was mostly attentive and the dining room was clean if dated. Food was good not great but good enough to go back. I had fried catfish that was pretty tasty in a nice batter. Others enjoyed breakfast choices like omelets and pancakes. read more

Good food, reasonably priced. Fast friendly service. We will be back. Love supporting small businesses.

A hidden gem. breakfast was fantastic, so was the coffee and waitresses. Portions were a nice size and corned beef hash was cooked perfect. so were the home fries. It is not a tourist trap either. Love this place. read more

Lake Alfred Diner - McGuire, Thompsons and Webers. Great day. - Diners Near Me - Lake Alfred, Florida

We were at the DMV all morning to afternoon. Starving after not eating we stopped in we were greeted by a nice lady I'm sure she was a server. The place was pretty empty. It looked like the ladies were busy with side work.so I asked what time do you close I was told 5 minutes ago. But don't worry you'll be fine the will get your order up right away and we have lots of work to get us ready for tomorrow. We ordered and the other customers were involved in our conversation. We got our meals and everything we ordered was perfect. Hot and you would not know they want to finish and go home. The meals were wonderful. The service was great. The floors, tables and ceiling vents were all clean and well maintained, the back grease area and trash spot were clean and well kept. We always drive around the back of a restaurant when thinking about trying a new place. We found this place to be what we want all places to be. Try and see. The locals are there and they are nice to share it. It's amazing. read more

Went there for brunch because they had outdoor dining. My food was great. My wife's ham was dry and leathery. The waitress was very attentive and courteous. Their outdoor dining had not thought of COVID-19 customers looking for outdoor dining. Outdoor dining area is nice, with a roof. They built this area for smokers. The place has large ashtrays on some tables and their clients come there to smoke before, during and after the meal. If you can tolerate the stink, this is place is for you. We are done going there read more

Before stopping here, I didn't even know Lake Alfred was a thing. But, Kid had a field trip in Haines City and we passed through here on the way home. And we were hungry. It's a "seat yourself" kind of place and we were able to find a place easily, even given that they were pretty darn busy. There's plenty of seating outside and a pretty large patio. Our server came quickly, took our orders and brought our food out in no time. Husband ordered biscuits and gravy with bacon and eggs. Everything was really good. He's picky about his gravy but really liked it here! Kid got the kids spaghetti and meatball. It came with a garlic toast; everything was tasty, but a lot. We brought home more than half of it. To be fair, Kid doesn't always eat much. I had the pressed Cuban (no cheese), fries and coleslaw. Coleslaw never arrived so I can't comment on that. The fries were super good. The Cuban was pretty good, too. We ended up spending less than we do for crap from McDonalds so that was a nice surprise. If we ever find ourselves in Lake Alfred again, I'm sure we will stop in! read more

The food, service and customers are awesome! It was a last minute decision before going to a wedding. I highly recommend it.

Old fashioned atmosphere with good old country food. Fast service, above average food, especially biscuits and gravy with fried chicken tender on top. Very tasty and consistent. Big chains should take a page out of their book. Family owned diners in Polk County have better quality, taste and presentation than most! read more

staff is so friendly and the food always tastes amazing and comes out super fast!!! it also is super good vibes there

A great place for Lake Alfred! There are always loads of cars parked outside this diner and it's not because it's the only restaurant in town. The food here is delicious and extremely filling - for an affordable price! The service is always attentive and joking around with the regulars. This is the type of place you'd want to change your orders every time because of it's extremely extensive menu. read more

This place is always packed for a reason. It has super good food and awesome service. I love the chicken fried steak with eggs.

This is a quaint little place that was once a Hardee's. My grandmother lives in Lake Alfred and this is one of the available dining options so we thought we would give it a try. First, please note, if you have seafood allergies you can't eat any of the fried food because they don't have a dedicated fryer. Seafood, chicken, fries, corn nuggets, sweet potato fries, they all go in the same fryer. So, my grandmother just got back into town yesterday so I went here for dinner with her, my aunt, uncle, cousin, etc. According to my cousin they have the best coleslaw he's ever eaten. I am not a fan of coleslaw, so I'll take his word for it. My mother said that their Ranch dressing is out of this world. It is homemade. I had spaghetti and meatballs, which were good. It wasn't exceptional, but not bad in anyway. The sauce was a bit tangy for me. The portion was a good size and it came with a side and a soup/salad. I had corn nuggets, a total guilty pleasure for me and again, they were good, but not the best I'd ever had. I chose the potato soup for my starter and it was decent, but a bit on the salty side. My grandmother loved her roast beef. Service was excellent and our waitress kept all of our drinks filled. Verdict, a solid option if you are in the Lake Alfred area. read more

We went into the diner at 2:22 pm on Wednesday August 31 to have lunch and lady said they were closed. The hours were listed as open til 3:00pm. I can't imagine an owner turning down customer. Well they did. I guess they don't need the business read more
