Stopped in today to have lunch before we went to a museum. I had the turkey club and friend had a burger. We shared a side of fries. Great food and staff. What a great find! read more

Hey we've been here a few times since my previous review. This is still hitting on four stars with five potential. We stopped in for brunch this week and I had my go to biscuit and gravy. This is great. Also had some good eggs and sausage on the side. Megan had a biscuit with black eyed pea gravy that was on the specials. Neither of us liked it much, it was dry and could have used some more flavor. Little City is a little out of the way but it is good, they appear to actual cook here and not just reheat some stuff, and the people are cool. I definitely will hit this every once every 6-8 weeks when in the area. I just wish they would do a better job promoting the specials, then I might come here more often! read more

Nice casual restaurant with country vibe. Breakfast with friends and everyone seemed happy with their choices. The special omelet of the day with asparagus, bacon and cheese was tasty. Their biscuits are large and the grits are good. Fruit cup was fresh. Coffee is good. Also has a pastry case for take out or eat in. Daily specials on a blackboard. Service was pleasant, courteous, and food was delivered surprisingly quick for a group. Order and pay at the counter -food is brought out to you and then table service. Location -just 5 miles outside Athens in Winterville. Easy drive. Facility : intentionally slightly rustic Single room, with some outside tables also (uncovered, in the sun and facing the road) Plenty of room between tables inside and outside. Parking outside on gravel lot. read more

This spot perfectly balances a small-town charm--think fresh food and a welcoming, local-business feel--with the kind of funky eclecticism you'd expect from something tied to Athens. It's got personality in all the right ways. Be prepared to take your time: you'll order at the counter, and since one person is usually juggling everything--taking orders, making coffee, serving food--the line can move slowly. But it's absolutely worth the wait. The food is thoughtfully prepared, the portions are generous, and the vibe is laid-back and genuine. read more

A nice feel good place to get a good meal. Small town feel. You order at the register and then they bring you your meal. I recommend this place im Winterville. read more

Forgot to 'Turn Off' Doordash Ordered pickup through Doordash. Arrove to find another individual waiting and we stood for a minute until a man came out. At first, he (store owner) apologized kindly as the store was closed. When we stood there a moment, both just processing 'what now?', he very quickly became upset and essentially ran us out of the store. It was a though we were stray dogs that'd wandered inside. We were told to go, shooed towards the door, and followed out. Outside the door, I could hear the call he immediately made, cursing and yelling at someone to get rid of Doordash. I'm appaled at the storeowner's treatment of us as a nuisance, regardless of any understandable frustration with the Doordash mistake. During or after hours... this is bad business. My business will go elsewhere. read more

They food here is nothing special but great if you want just your breakfast basics. You order at the counter and the staff is friendly. They have an outdoor seating area that is nice and the inside is cozy country style decor. I really like their cookies and baked goods definitely give them a try if you visit. read more

We've been going to Little City Diner for years and it's always consistent, the staff is familiar, and it's in a comfortable part of town

I always think it is a good idea to have employees greet customers when they walk into a business or at least walk over to the bakery case and acknowledge your existence. As this was our first time here since the pandemic, we were curious as to the protocol. Everyone has bad days but the cashier needs some training on customer service. Gravy and biscuits were satisfying. Quiche was dry unfortunately. This location beats going into Athens and there seemed to be a decent crowd for a Saturday morning. Make the drive and support a local business. read more

What an amazing find. The quiche was great, fresh and filling. Grilled cheese on house made bread with tomato chutney was supreme. Outdoor dining under the trees with a breeze to made this an idyllic meal. Anyone driving around east of Athens should plan to make the Little City Diner a stop. We will be back. read more

Little City Diner - Outdoor seating in the shade. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Winterville, Georgia

I came on a Saturday for brunch. There were plenty of parking spaces, which was nice. It was busy, but we managed to get seats as people eat pretty quick. The place is small yet cozy. We ordered at the counter and got our own drinks as it is a self-serve restaurant. I ordered the 2 egg plate with sourdough toast and fruit cup. It took us 20 minutes to get our food, which is understandable since they were busy. Regarding the food, the scrambled eggs were too overcooked and it was nothing special. The sourdough toast was very mild and not toasted enough. My friend ordered the scrambler with meats. It was also over cooked, but it did have a generous amount of meat. Overall, I had higher expectation for this place because of its high ratings. It seems that their biscuit and gravy and side of fried potatoes are their most popular dishes, so I recommend trying those out if you do plan on eating here. read more

Always great food and great service! Sunday brunch is excellent, but we visit for breakfast several times a week too.

Bombdiggity Breakfast I am very picky when it comes to my breakfast scramble because I like my vegetables crisp but not raw and I like the flavors to meld before the eggs and cheese are added. Weird? Maybe... However, this place knocked it out of the park. I chose the Smokehouse scramble which is a perfect blend of ham, bacon, peppers, onions, cheese, and eggs. It is served with your choice of herbed potatoes or red mule grits. I chose the grits. Now, I am from the north and grits are tricky for me but these were amazing. My daughter had the Scrambler special (eggs, spinach, goat cheese, and peppers, and had a side of sausage. Both were amazing. Definitely recommend if you are in the Athens area. read more

This really is my favorite restaurant, hands down. I've eaten there many times and every time has been amazing. I've had multiple sandwiches and breakfasts and have zero complaints. Their specials are always on point and their baked goods and desserts tasty. Their house blend of coffee is my favorite around, and I've bought their beans from them from time to time as well. Everyone that works here have been amazing people. It's the ONLY restaurant around that I actually set my notifications to alert me when they post on Instagram or Facebook. Go now! You will not regret it! read more

See all

I stepped into Little City Diner today not knowing what I might be able to enjoy due to allergies (no vegetable and seed oils, no gluten and no added sugar). It is difficult for me to find a safe meal anywhere, but when I approached the counter, the staff did everything they could to put my mind at ease, and I got a personal one on one consultation with Chef Marlena, where we reviewed the menu and she personally let me know my options and creatively made a meal safe for me to eat. It was incredibly good, and I was so fortunate that she was there that day. I appreciated the time and the care the entire staff took to make sure I had what I needed. I will be returning whenever I'm in the area. Thanks for your attentiveness, kindness and creativity - it sets you apart. read more

It's fine for what it is. I probably need to go for breakfast as I've heard better things about it. Lunch was not great. My sandwich had nothing special to delineate it from any other sandwich shop. I've had a burger as well and the meat had no flavor whatsoever. It's about the only thing in Winterville so I think it gets more praise than it actually deserves for that reason. If you're looking for better flavor hit up almost any downtown restaurant in Athens read more

I loved this sweet little addition to my tiny hometown! Winterville is so small but this precious diner adds SO much personality to it! The staff is so nice and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. The only thing I would change is the dated interior for a more inviting and modern ambiance, but everything else is wonderful! I definitely will be back! read more

Little City Diner - French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Winterville, Georgia

The service was awesome! The food was great! The restaurant is cozy and very clean! Haven't tried breakfast yet but heard it was really good. read more

Never again! I stopped by and got some breakfast before getting back on the road and the customer service was terrible. The staff acted as if I was a bum begging for food the way I was treated. The ambiance is kinda weird inside but this was my first and last time dining here. read more

Seriously the best farm to table I've every had. Homemade, local ingredients, I have zero complaints

Amazing lunch! Family owned and ran! Hight quality food, the smoked ham with Gouda cheese sandwich is so flavorful. So friendly. So local.

Best kept secret in the Athens area for breakfast or brunch or lunch! Would eat here 3 times a day, 7 days a week if possible.

Good food and great service. Nice seating indoors and out. Lots of parking. Breakfast menu excellent

A very welcome change from the usual. I drove a little out of the way to get here, but will be back. The food was delicious, and I enjoyed eating outside, watching little city life. read more

This is a very nice place for breakfast or lunch. The service is good, and the food is good. It's clean and a sort of artsy atmosphere. So nice to eat in a small business as opposed to the fast food chains. read more

The food was not that bad but for the price tag it was definitely not worth it, who ever they have answering the phones always sounds like they have the worst attitude and should definitely not be doing the phones. In my opinion there are a lot better sandwich shops in Athens for the price tag. You pay $9 for a sandwich with no side or drink. Sadly if you do decide to get a side and drink you are looking at a $16 very basic lunch sandwich. read more

Good food! Breakfast, lunch, all good. But when they do dinner... it's rare but special!!

My family's favorite breakfast place. We come here almost every Saturday. The biscuits are great. Load them up with egg and sausage and you'll get hooked. Chocolate chip pancakes are one of a kind. We've come here for lunch and the BBQ sandwich is awesome. The staff are great and helpful. Great diner you'll want to be a regular. read more

Little City Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Winterville, Georgia

The Little City Diner is brought to you by the folks who brought the Big City Bread Cafe to Athens. Big City Bread has been around for years and is highly regarded in Athens as a breakfast/brunch and lunch spot. But even though I'm an Athens native, I've never been there. So I came to Little City Diner with few preconceptions other than its parent's big reputation. Little City's ambitions seem quite little: It's basically a small-town, down-home diner that seeks to differentiate itself by using all-fresh ingredients and charging somewhat high prices accordingly (an omelette plate plus coffee will set you back 11 or 12 dollars). Only a couple of items on the menu, like "soysage," suggest the presence of a big state U a few miles away. Was the food special? Not really. It was pretty good, and it was very competently cooked, and it was indeed fresher tasting than what you'd get at a typical greasy spoon. But it lacked pop. Decor is more or less shabby chic. And you have to go to the counter to order and pick up your drink, although a server will bring your food out. My overall impression is that the Little City Diner is a very nice addition to little Winterville. But I'm not sure it's worth the six-or-eight-mile "road trip" from big Athens. read more

Sort of out of the way from Athens, but we got 2 of the scrambles for takeout. Even tho the ride home was long and made the food a little cold it was still super delicious. It's a little pricey for the portion but I would order again for sure read more

Just very unprofessionally managed. You can see that by the service. I hear yelling in the kitchen, including CUSSING. Was mortified. Tried this place out two times, and had horrible service. I did not find anything special about this place. Food was OK. read more

This place is pretty darn popular so the service is a little slow. They have variety of vegetarian options and a great price for day-old baked goods: $1! I had a pretty good fried eggplant sandwich and a cup of a locally roasted coffee. If you have multiples on your party, just be prepared for your dishes to come out a different times. read more

The little city dinner does not skimp on breakfast. For the price you pay you get a lot. You will not leave hungry. The Omelet is fluffy with just the right amount salt and pepper. The fillings of the omelet are stuffed tightly. The homemade biscuits are also delicious. Their menu is not big but what they do have is good. read more

This place is super cute and the staff are friendly and helpful! The french toast was pretty but tasted pretty mediocre. I also tried some of the vegetable sauté and grits, also not amazing. read more

Little City Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Winterville, Georgia

Met a friend here for breakfast. This is a small cute little restaurant on the outskirts of the small town of Winterville. This was my first time here so I was a little turned around when I first entered. But you order at the counter, pick your coffee glass, take your number, and pick a table. I ordered the omelette with cheese and grits and a biscuit. I don't think I had any meat at all put my meal was pretty good. I love the location of this restaurants and plan to return for early morning walks and then breakfast. read more

Amazing food! Everything on the menu is great! Love the blueberry pancakes and the burger!!!! Great little local spot!!! Sweet staff and friendly patrons! The daily specials are always unique and delish! Dont pass this place by... read more
