We found this little place by accident. It's adorable and driving by just seeing the outside made me want to stop. I did my do diligence and checked yelp and found great reviews so we went for it. Service was excellent! Our grilled cheese with bacon and one with ham were sooooo goood and we could've shared cause they were huge! Bonus part of The proceeds were donated to a local charity from each sandwich we will definitely return. read more

Awesome food, great service, reasonable prices, and very clean. We just found our new breakfast spot!!!

The food was good, better then average! The young gal that waited on us was so sweet and gave me s great services!! We will be back!!

Tasty white bean soup, tuna melt and excellent fries. Easy to park our travel trailer next door.

My favorite breakfast place in the county! Awesome ingredients, easy to find location, easy parking, top-tier customer service and creative dishes for all appetites. An incredible staff and decor, you will love it for any meal! read more

We ordered food to go. I had the fried chicken club sandwich. I thought it was good except they didn't put any mayo on it so it was a bit dry. The fries were good and they did give me a side of ranch that I was able to use as substitute for the mayo. My daughter had the breakfast burger and she said it was good and I noticed the egg was over easy and not over hard which usually happens with breakfast sandwiches which was nice. I would definitely eat here again. read more

I ordered the breakfast sandwich with sausage. Everything made from scratch. Egg was cooked perfectly. Biscuit was tender with a little crunch on the edges. Really fantastic meal. Also, noted, the chicken fried steak looked amazing. read more

I am still here, stuffed and happy! Had the chicken fried steak sandwich, and it was to die for! Crispy, savory, fresh and delicious! My husband had the Reuben Sandwich and the in house made corned beef was the best we've ever had! I would buy a bucket if it! Great service, fast friendly, locally sourced and so tasty. Go here now! read more

The Diner - American Near Me - McMinnville, Oregon

I was in McMinnville for work. On my way out of town I had breakfast here. My waitress was aware. I can't say attentive even though only 2 tables were occupied (me & 1 other) The food was good, standard. read more

Really delicious. I had the Cuban sandwich & my wife had the Fried Chicken Club & we both recommend them unreservedly, as well as the Fried Mac & Cheese appetizer. They also added pulled pork & jalapeño cheese to my side of fries for only $1.50! In fact, the prices were quite reasonable for everything. Our whole meal including appetizer & tip was $33 (we had water to drink). Granted, we both chose the half-size sandwiches, which was still plenty of food. Kind of a weird location - in a motel parking lot, where you might expect to find a Denny's or Shari's - but far better food at a similar price. Recommended! read more

The Diner - Cuban Sandwich with pulled pork & jalapeño fries. - American Near Me - McMinnville, Oregon

(They did takeout only, but the owner offered to wipe down a table outside for us) First actual food place i've eaten at in a week and it was PHENOMENAL!! This place exceeded my entire family's expectations. I love diner food, I would make a profession out of it if I could, and this place is the best place I've even been. I ordered the Classic Breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns and everything was PERFECT! The bacon was a perfect amount of crispy and the hashbrowns were golden brown. My friend ordered the same with sausage while my dad ordered a Chicken Jalapeño burger (not sure of the actual name). Like I said before, we had differing levels of expectations and all our prenotions were SURPASSED! Phenomenal meal, best one I've had while in Oregon *chefs kiss*. - only thing is that the sausage was in disks instead of links but were still delicious! read more

Proper food cooked by chefs who really do care about what they put out. Most ingredients are sourced locally with something for everyone. Special diet needs are accommodated with a glad heart and a smile. The staff are friendly AND efficient being attentive but not overwhelming. Down to earth surroundings compliment the wholesome "diner" experience. All this and an adequate beer and wine selection plus craft cocktails .....what more could you want! Breakfast,lunch and dinner........PLUS daily specials! No, I don't own the place and no,these folks are not my relatives BUT I do eat there very frequently! read more

We came to this restaurant after a long day at the water park. The food was delicious and the portions were spot on. We enjoyed the Ruben, the chicken fried steak sandwich, the BLT and the Mac and cheese. All of the plates were fantastic. We will stop the next time come through town! Thanks for putting the perfect ending to our long day. read more

Wow, amazing breakfast cooked from scratch! Food was delicious and all from scratch - service was great. The Diner may seem unassuming, but don't be fooled: its food beats out the other cutesy places in the area. A definite find for foodies. read more

The Diner - 8oz chicken fried steak with eggs and potatoes. Would eat again! - American Near Me - McMinnville, Oregon

Absolutely delicious. Great staff and wonderful fresh, local menu! I had the grilled vegetable sandwich on their homemade sourdough bread and was not disappointed. Chicken strips and the BLT was also outstanding. As a bonus the tots with the spicy mayo is also spot on. read more

We went here for the first time yesterday. First we were pleasantly surprised the curb appeal of the outside modern look to the building. We expected a older rundown place that is more common in these parts. Very nice. Secondly they have a excellent menu selection. Our server was fantastic, just perfect! Food was good. The homemade sausage patties were horrible, hard, not much flavor. Couldn't eat them. Everything else was good. My wife ordered a scone to go and our fantastic server did not use plastic gloves to handle our scone he just manhandled it with his hands. Not sure what these guys are thinking???? Regarding how to properly handle food. We would definitely come here again. read more

Wow what a surprise! Amazing grilled vegetable sandwich! Wow wow!! Diner in the fabulous level!! Thank you!! Aw and super good espresso! read more

Wow the food here is amazing! We had the Salmon Benedict, basic Ham Benedict, Florentine Benedict, and French Toast. BACON was perfect. Omg soooo good! read more

A Manager should never yell at a customers child, that is unacceptable. This was one of the wort and most uncomfortable experiences ever.

I was seated immediately by a very friendly waiter. He quickly got our drink orders in then food orders, both of which came rapidly. I ordered the chicken fried steak which was fantastic. I recommend this place 10/10 :) read more

What can I say about this place!? The service? Excellent. The gentlemen in his snazzy jeans and 90s era grunge shirt was informative, and have great info on our meal choices. Was a big help and fi when my kids were ordering their dishes, and was very, very pleasant. Will be coming back to eat here die to that service alone! On to the food. The fried chicken club is legendary. It is. The best. Chicken sandwich. I. Have. Ever. Had. Period. Artisan bread, the fixings, bacon, ham, and a beautiful fried piece of bird!? Amazing. Had it with a bowl of their well-known pork and white bean chili topped with provolone... Just exquisite. My wife had Alfredo and tomato soup. She said lovely. The boys devoured their Mac n cheese, and chicken strips n fries, respectively. Topped off with a fresh baked chocolate cookie at the end. This place will become a regular for my family for years to come! read more

Char was fabulous. We had a large party coming for breakfast and at 10 o'clock the previous evening, we talked to Char who was working very hard at The Diner. Char said she would take care of it and she did. She was also the server the next day and was courteous and helpful. read more

Wow! I wasn't sure this place was worth a stop in because there weren't any cars in the lot when I arrived for breakfast. I am glad I gave them a try. I only had a half order of French toast and side of sausage, but both were wonderful. The French toast is prepared with a very nice brioche and served with thin apple slices, banana and maple syrup. Very good! The sausage was not your typical diner sausage patty as it was packed full of herbs and very savory! Service was friendly and attentive. The decor is mod with clean lines, but somehow warm with lots of light and wood. The location is conveniently located right off of Dayton Bypass so a great stop in on the way to the coast or McMinnville. Their lunch and dinner menus look yummy too! read more

The food is great but definitely overpriced and the poor overworked staff doesn't seem to enjoy their jobs at all. I totally understand that serving is a difficult job. I really hope they can get more staff in soon! It would infinitely improve the environment. read more

Grass-fed burger, good fries, good local wine and beer selection. Highly recommended.

This little place is a surprise. It may not look like much from the outside, but it's a tasty little farm to plate gem. The food is fresh and tasty, prices are reasonable and the staff couldn't be friendlier. You gotta come check this out. read more

Very good chicken fried steak and B&G. a little slow, and the gravy could use some spice. But very happy with it overall for breakfast. Would go there again if I was in the area. read more

Great food. Great service. They were busy when we came in and had to wait about 10 minutes but it was absolutely worth the wait. Burgers were homemade and done right! I had a Cobb salad that was fresh and beautiful. Stop by if you are in the area. You won't be disappointed! read more

Tatortots are perfect, ranch was wonderful, burger great, Mac and cheese was so good. Shrimp salad kinda sucked because it was surprisingly spicy. Lemonade was way way way too sour I had to add alot of sugar and water. Service could be better. read more

We were here last night, what a great place. It is nice to have a place to eat by the hospital. The Diner was very clean and welcoming. We were very surprised when our 'fried chicken clubs came, they were big and tasty. The staff is very friendly and accommidating. They told us that soon they will get their liquor license. read more

I discovered this restaurant on help. It's tucked away in an obscure place. I hadn't noticed it before. The reviews looked good so we gave it a shot. I got the Cuban sandwich and my wife got a breakfast plate to go. It was fabulous! My wife's fruit was local fruit that included huge blackberries, Rainer cherries, and strawberries. Not your typical fruit from a diner. My Cuban sandwich was to die for. The building inside and out is beautiful. Obviously all food was local and organic. A must try in McMinnville! read more

The Diner - Beautiful dining room - American Near Me - McMinnville, Oregon

Tried this for breakfast and did not have a good experience. My party waited by the front door for ten minutes before being acknowledged. Once seated, it took far too long to order. It took a ridiculous amount of time to actually get our meals. The food was not terrible, but was mundane with undercooked hashbrowns and overcooked eggs. I would not recommend. read more

Espresso,s were delicious,Country Benedict scrumptious..Will plan on going back.. was especially impressed with their sausage gravy, you can tell it was made from scratch. Good stuff read more

If you like thick battered-greasy fish then this is the place for you. Ordered it to go. Waited forever. Threw it away. We were so disappointed. Never ever again. read more
