Stopped for breakfast enroute from NC to home in Maryland. Small and basic breakfast menu. The western omelette I had was delicious. My other half enjoyed his breakfast of eggs, bacon and a homemade biscuit (the diners last one for the day). The service was great and everyone working there seemed to be happy to be together and on the job, a rarity these days it seems. And the ambiance was like stepping back into simpler times. Prices were very reasonable as well. read more

Good food great service in a traditional diner setting. Looks like they have updated their interior recently, recovering booths and seats of chairs. read more

Pretty good food and very pleasant waitress. I had a grilled chicken sandwich, my wife a ham and cheese and son a cheeseburger. All was cooked well and we finished everything. They forgot my chips but not a big deal. Reasonably fast. Would recommend read more

Be sure to have the pie... even for breakfast. Breakfast ends at 1030! Don't miss it . That said an excellent BLT is an alternative. Large big Dave omelets. Excellent service, clean enough for your mother in law. read more

Logan's Diner - Apple pie Ala mode a must have. Coconut pie didn't last long enough for a photo!!! - Diners Near Me - Emporia, Virginia

I love their food and especially on Thursday's when it's Hamburger Steak with Mashed potatoes and gravy. Friday's meal is Fish and Shrimps with hush puppies. Yummy. The staff is really friendly and service is really fast. I believe they are closed on Tuesday and Sundays but stop in any other day before 2 PM and you won't be disappointed. read more

Old fashioned diner ambiance with feel good food. Different favorite each day. Breakfast and lunch only off I-95 in downtown Emporia. My fav is the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. read more

This is exactly what you want in a small town diner. It's nothing fancy, but it has a varied menu, attentive and friendly service, and great food at really low prices. You can tell this place is good because it's busy, and all the locals seem to eat here. If you find yourself in Emporia -- highly recommended! read more

Unclean, salad appeared to have been sitting in cooler, not fresh. Not consistent with meat cooked as requested.

Was driving through after a week on va beach was craving a little ma and pop diner. This was the one for me the food felt like it was homemade like you would find at mamas house. The staff were friendly if I could give 10 stars I would. read more

We were driving from NJ and found a little jewel of a place! The people were so friendly! What a great find!

We've been stopping at Logan's for the last several years whenever heading south. We enjoy supporting small businesses instead of the chains whenever possible. This trip today certainly ended any future stops at Logan's. We arrived and were seated at 10:28. A waitress approached our table 3-4 minutes later to state that they were "switching over to lunch because it was 10:30". I told her we stopped for a few omelettes and the cook currently had eggs on the grill. She said she would check with the manager. All of this unfolded in front of us. A meeting with the manager, then the cook and back to the manager. Our waitress then returned with the verdict and lunch menus! She said, "you'll have to do lunch!" I told her no, we will head back 1 mile and hit Cracker Barrel for breakfast. They literally had maybe 7 patrons with 90% of their tables available when they rudely turned us away.. S read more

We found this place by Yelp and were delighted. Just a good old fashioned diner where a lot of locals go to eat They have booths and the counter to eat at. You can watch your food being cooked and it was delicious. We each had omelettes and he had hash browns and I had potatoes. Pancakes were huge and looked great. If you are looking for a great basic breakfast place. Look no further A great stop and Emporia is a beautiful town. read more

What a hidden gem this place is, I believe they was seating for about 20. I have the daily special fried chicken, a starch and corn, a roll and a side salad for $10.69. The food came out. It was delicious quick to the table and the staff was incredibly friendly so if you're ever in Atlantic Iowa stop in you won't be disappointed . read more

Home style meal and nice atmosphere. The staff was friendly and nice location. I will go again

We wanted to try a local Spot on our way to South Carolina and we came across this diner through Yelp. Service Was great, very clean place, and the food was great! I had the vegetarian omelet, was so hungry that forgot to take a picture! read more

Wow! What a terrific piece of old school Americana. Located right on Main St., this diner is comfort food heaven! Clean and everyone is super friendly. The awesome waitress recommended the hamburger steak special (with 2 sides and a roll) and she was right on the mark. The yummy onion gravy and moist patty reminded me of dinners growing up. So did the butter beans which melted in my mouth and were cooked with just the right amount of ham. Unfortunately, the Mac n Cheese also reminded me of my Mom's - bland. It was obviously reheated in the microwave and had some cold spots. That's the only reason I gave this place 4 stars. Hubby had the ribeye sandwich and loved it. Not too thick, not too thin and flavorful. He said it was so good he could eat another one! Great little stop off 58/95. We'll definitely be back when we pass through again, but next time I'll choose the mashed potatoes! read more

Logan's Diner - Hamburger steak special with 2 sides - Diners Near Me - Emporia, Virginia

Small town luncheonette and apparantly a local favorite. It has about 6 booths and a long counter with about 15 seats which faces the grill. It is "quaint" and fits well into the towns appearance. The staff were very friendly and service was quick. The food was good. Nothing special but good. The prices were cheap comparatively to our home prices. BLT with chips and a club sandwich with chips and two coffees was $15.00. This was not a spot to go out of your way for. But if you are in downtown Emporia and like trying out little local places like we do, it's worth a stop. read more

The food is great served to you always hot and ready as ordered. The setting gives a ice cream shop feel.

If there was a minus 10 star rating...this woule be it. We arrived at 10:04 A.M., took the waitress 20 minutes so we could order a simple breakfast at 10:20 A.M. Advised that they were out of buscuits and had no milk. We got a cup of coffee and cup of tea. And waited. And waited. FINALLY at 11:05 A.M. we left. Tea and coffee cost 5.19. None were bothered or apologetic or working. The absolute WORST place ever. read more

Great food. The staff is always friendly but a better break down of the tables is needed .

I've never given a 1 star in all my reviews so you know this place earned it. Walked in at 10:35 on a rainy cold Friday morning and was told they stop serving breakfast at 10:30. I asked if they would make an exception since it was only 10:35 and in a "sweet", southern accent the waitress said, "No Sir, not after 10:30". Any place that won't sway to make a guy breakfast when he walks in 5 minutes after they "stop serving" on a rainy morning doesn't deserve your business. I guess the griddle is on a timer or something. I'm not sure what would be the reason not to cook eggs and bacon past 10:30. Who eats lunch at 10:30 unless your the unfortunate kid with the early lunch period. Common courtesy is like common sense. It's not that common and this place is the epitome of hypocrisy. They can play the rule of a place with southern hospitality but their truth was revealed that morning. I found a great breakfast down the street that still was cooking eggs at 10:35 in the morning. I absolutely recommend you go else where to find your breakfast. Logan's isn't worth your time or money. read more

This place was an awesome find! Everyone knew each other and brought back memories of a little diner I used to visit in Georgia. Everything we ate was delicious, excise the picture, started digging in before we could snap a couple shots. Will be stopping by again when we pass through. read more

The food here is good, not the best I've had at a diner. The burger was a bit overcooked. Fries just usual. It says on the menu their pies are homemade, I asked about the apple pie and was told it's frozen, go figure. Prices are good though, and the servers are nice. read more

Great food. Great service. We really enjoyed our breakfast. We highly recommend going to Logan's Diner.

Went here for breakfast after driving from Florida, nonstop. Staff was friendly as can be. Food was quality. The price was unbeatable. Very cute little diner. The staff knew the name of every person that walked through the door, goes to show. If your passing through and need a quick bite go here. read more

I guess it was ok for a small town diner, but I'm a little disappointed. Fried chicken was hot and fresh, but not at all seasoned. Mac and cheese was Kraft. Bologna burger was ok and bun was hot. Price was reasonable. read more

I'm glad we got here before 9a on a Saturday because counter seating was the only option and the homemade grits were gone by 9:30a. The biscuits and gravy were better than I've had in a long time. The bacon is the best crispy options we've had. And, the waffle is cooked on a griddle in the oven! Make the time to eat here if you're traveling along I-95--you will thank your happy tummy later. read more

Food is terrible. Out of basic things like english muffins and biscuits. Waste of time and money

I had pretty high hopes, after reading numerous reviews, but unfortunately, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The staff was great, very friendly and quick to fill your drink. I ordered a Reuben sandwich. Kind of hard to screw up a Reuben: corned beef and swiss on rye, a little kraut and thousand island dressing... boom! What's so hard about that? What I got was cheesesteak-style beef and swiss on rye, with a squeeze pack of dressing on the side. It was just weird. If only they'd used corned beef it would have been pretty good, but instead it was like a Philly cheesesteak on rye, with salad dressing. That's not good. I must say the service was quick, so if you're on the road and want to get in and out, this is a good stop. Just order the Philly cheese steak. The onion rings were great. read more

Logan's Diner - This was after I ate half of the sandwich. It wasn't what I expected, but I was really hungry. - Diners Near Me - Emporia, Virginia

While staying in Emporia as part of a road trip, I was looking for a place to have breakfast other than at chain restaurants along the Interstate. I headed into town and stopped in at Logan's Diner, parking along the street. This diner has a hometown feel with booths (7) along the wall and counter seating (11 high seats), and open food prep and grill area behind the counter. The place has a 1950s theme with classic posters on the seagreen painted cinder block walls, pink painted walls, jukebox (with oldies) and 45-records hanging above the dining area. They serve traditional American fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and the prices seem reasonable (prices under $10). Breakfast items include egg dishes (with meat choices including pork chops, steak, bologna, pork brains, sausage, bacon, salmon cakes), omelets, pancakes, French toast, Belgian waffles, hash, and biscuits with sausage gravy. Lunch/dinner items include sandwiches, burgers, soup, salads, chicken tenders, BBQ, hot wings, fried shrimp, and sides. Daily specials are offered here including fried trout & shrimp on Fridays. I was greeted as I entered the place and sat myself at a booth. I was offered a drink while looking at the menu. The coffee ($1.49) served in a big mug was good, Coffeemate creamers on table. For breakfast, I ordered the Salmon Cakes ($6.25) with 2 eggs, choice of home fries, hash browns, or grits and choice of toast or biscuit. I watched my food being cooked to order on the grill and skillet and served in about 10 minutes after ordering. The portion of hot food was generous. The 2 grilled salmon cakes were thick, crisp browned on the outside and soft and moist texture inside with minced chopped onions, shredded salmon meat and breading. The hash browns were freshly shredded potatoes, grilled and browned crisp on the outside. The hot buttermilk biscuit was very good too. The service here was good and laid lack here. The place was not that busy on a rainy Thursday morning and the staff kept an eye on my table. I was given some ice water without asking for it. I did not need refills on the coffee since the big mug had enough liquified caffeine. This place was a great pick for a "Southern style" breakfast! read more

First and last time there. Hubby and I went there because of the 4 1/2 star rating. We sat at the counter and ordered lunch. I ordered grilled chicken sandwich, hubby ordered a Philly cheesesteak. The menu said it came with onions and peppers but evidently you have to ask for them. All he got was meat and cheese on a hogue. He was served and halfway through his sandwich before I even got mine. Watching the the person grill we observed all meat was frozen and she was using the same utensils between beef and chicken. They put a hot dog in the deep fryer then on the grill. Cooked meat was put on a counter without a plate so she could put mayonnaise on a bun. All in all, had I observed this before I ate, I would have walked out How it got 4 1/2 stars is beyond us. The place is not clean nor is it sanitary and safe food practices were not observed. Eat at your own risk. read more

Stopped off here for lunch on the way back home with the family. Food was inexpensive, tasty and served quickly. Husband had the ribeye sandwich & said it was very flavorful. Kids ate all their food which is not usual for our family. Servers were friendly & attentive. It's a bit crowded at lunchtime - pretty small space and the booths only hold 4 ppl. Lots of locals having lunch. May not be the best time to stop if you're in a rush. We had to wait a few for a booth to clear out but the wait wasn't too bad. It was worth it. read more

Amazing place Felt like we were in Mayberry everyone was friendly and welcoming including the other patrons. The food was excellent it is a breakfast and lunch place to time your trip so you can go back in time and have wonderful fresh home cooked food. I had eggs over medium, hash browns and pancakes and all were perfect. My husband had a BLT and a hamburger to taste and he loved them both. We will be back read more

Very awesome restaurant! We were driving back to Winston from Virginia Beach and we're making an effort to stop somewhere local and not a chain. We saw this online and decided to give it a go. The place was packed on a Monday afternoon so we knew we chose well. I got the cheeseburger with a side salad and I devoured both! Since we were in a hurry to get home I got the peanut butter pie to go and OhMyLord... Was it good!!! It was euphoric and I mean that haha. I wanna drive 2.5 hours back just to order more! If you go here you must order it, trust me read more

Great little diner with friendly service, low prices, and delicious breakfast fare. We got the Logan breakfast with sausage and hash browns, French toast with super crispy awesome bacon, and a country ham biscuit. All were great, for $14. Would recommend to anyone passing through. read more

Not very good. Cook doesn't pay attention to what customers want even when it's written down . Eggs were not done as asked toast as well . Hash browns were uncooked were white instead of browned. Not impressed and there's only two other people in here. They use maxwell house coffee so that sums up this experience . read more

Once again, our fellow Yelpers steered us to a great local spot on a road trip. Just north of NC is a quaint town - Emporia. It looks like something out of the Andy Griffith Show. At the corner of one of the shopping blocks, is Logan's Diner. We ordered takeout because we had our dog with us, but got a glimpse into the past when walking inside this traditional local diner, complete with counter seating and a handful of booths. The ladies behind the counter are like something out of a movie - friendly & damned efficient. They have a great system and are happy to make a recommendation. If you ask for a suggestion, take it. You won't go wrong. We had a cheese steak on a sub roll and a grilled chicken, bacon, & Swiss on Texas Toast. Both were delicious and just the right amount of food. The shoestring fries were super crispy. Would definitely go back. read more

First of all, I'm a Yankee, and probably a damned Yankee in these parts. But I think this place is way overrated. My dad and I were traveling trough and he wanted to stop when he heard to good reviews. He had a burger and fries. I had real trouble finding healthy food and usually don't stop somewhere without seeing the menu online. My fears were realized when even the salads heavily featured bacon and cheese. I ordered three vegetable sides: beets, butter beans, and green beans. They were all canned and sad enough looking that I didn't want to take a picture. The green beans had bacon on top though I asked about that. Dad liked his meal OK and maybe it's coincidental that dad got GI distress later in the day. The meal cost $20 but to me was with half that. I was pleasantly surprised there was some masking for COViD and an integrated crowd, but the "come back and see us" everyone said without making eye contact struck me as gimmicky. Sad to say that we won't. read more

Very cool Main Street style diner where you can sit at the counter or get a booth. Friendly greeting when you walk in. Breakfast and lunch only. Good, home cooked food. Strong local following. Visit early for breakfast more than once and you'll surely see the same faces. Fried chicken on Mondays is awesome, but sells out kinda fast. read more
