    At this diner, it was less about the food and more about the company. We had a pretty impressive lineup of Yelpers: Ronnald M., Te See B., Dawne F. and her boyfriend Todd A., Ariel W. and KIMBERLEY K! Definitely a fun group and honestly, the perfect place to get everyone together. Now, I'm going to be honest. I don't think the food was really up to par. Nothing was terrible, but nothing had me thinking, "Wow, I need to come back here for this." The mimosas, however, were doing their job quite nicely. Then again, once you've had enough mimosas, does the food really matter that much? At that point, it's all about the conversation, the laughs and the people you're sitting around the table with. And on that front, this brunch delivered.

    This local favorite serves up delicious comfort food with a hint of nostalgia in a charming and inviting atmosphere. The menu is a masterclass in classic American cuisine, with mouth-watering dishes like juicy burgers, fluffy waffles, crispy fried chicken, creamy mac and cheese and more. I started off Brunch as any good one should...BOOZY. I sipped on the Passionfruit Guava Mimosa, while catching up with the crew. I ordered the Eggs Benny and upgraded by adding the Lox-perfectly poached eggs, smoked salmon, creamy house Hollandaise sauce all over a toasted English Muffin. Heather, our server, was warm and friendly. Portions are generous. And the decor is cozy. Thank you Te-see B., Ariel W., Ronnald M., and Kimberley K., for a fabulous afternoon.

    BLT and macaroni and cheese side

    I ordered a hot chocolate with extra whipped cream- a must for me at any diner. The hot chocolate was classic and they were generous with the whipped cream. I ordered a BLT with cheese, they forgot the cheese on the BLT, but added extra cheese to the macaroni and cheese. It was loud in there, so I didn't care too much about the mix up. There was also this absolutely delicious sauce on the sandwich, maybe a garlic aioli?? I'm not sure, but it was great! The BLT was huge and the bacon was not too crispy, not too soft- just right. The macaroni and cheese side was extra cheesy and very yummy. My friends asked for water, and they only brought out 2; we were a party of 5. We asked for water for the rest of us; later during the meal they asked if the water was good- which was a little weird. The food was good over all.

    This is a pretty new cafe. The food was great and the service was very attentive. It is very clean and inviting. I ordered their chicken and biscuits with sausage gravy. I had my gravy on the side so that I could control the amount I ate. Plus, I wanted to be able to taste the chicken and not just gravy. The chicken was very crispy, but very juicy and flavorful. The biscuit was fluffy and good. They put a piece of chicken on a half of a biscuit so you don't get a full biscuit with your chicken. You do get 4 good pieces of chicken though.

    You know the place is good when you have to wait 30 min to an hour to be seated. I took my husband out for brunch the day before Father's Day and the restaurant was packed but so worthy! He loved it so much that is our brunch spot now!

    Incredible brunch at @ The Diner visiting a friend. The standard waits are 45-60 minutes and the place is packed but you get a link to see how long you have been waiting, how long the people ahead of you have each been waiting and you can watch the progress. It was SO worth it and we loved everything. The hollandaise was amazing. The service was super friendly, there are SO many options and we even grabbed an extra red velvet waffle to go.

    Heading back from a cruise, we wanted a breakfast for the road, and discovered this diner. On a Saturday at 9, it was packed! I love diners and the menu and the style were perfect. Our server was adorable and helpful. She quickly brought our drinks and took our order. We didn't wait long at all for our order. The menu is extensive, with pancakes being their specialty. Not being a sweet breakfast person, I settled on a bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich. I got to choose how my egg was cooked so I did over easy. There were red potatoes served on the side. Everything looked great, but I had thought the bagel would be toasted, so that was a little disappointing. The sandwich was good, but toasting would have made it excellent. Overall,service was excellent, nice menu and good food.

    This is the best kept secret for out of towners , Right near the Convention Center and Condos, in Publix parking lot!! Fantastic Food as shown in Pics. Fantastic Service!!! And Great atmosphere!! Simply said!!! Go NOW!!!!! You'll love it. Good ole American Breakfast joint!!

    First of all, there is nothing better than breakfast food. Second, there is nothing better than designing your OWN breakfast combo. We went months ago and still think about it. The staff was helpful, the service was quick, and the Diner is a return-to destination!

    Papa's Burrito
    Anisha M.

    Visited @ The Diner for a quick Orlando trip and I had an incredibly pleasant experience. The service and food were both equally impressive. I ordered the Papa's Burrito w/ egg, cheese, and avocado. I asked for extra fluffy scrambled eggs and they delivered perfection as the eggs were light and moist. This dish also comes with a side of potatoes. Additionally, my friend and I split a singular Boston Cream pancake and it was heavenly layered with vanilla custard, Nutella, whipped cream, and powdered sugar; perfect if you have a sweet tooth and/or are craving something good! I also got an iced vanilla latte on the side that really hit the spot. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're in Orlando, esp loading up before going to Disney.

    Atmosphere - The restaurant is located in a strip mall with lots of parking. There are not many breakfast choices in that area, so it was very busy with quite a few people waiting for a table. As a result, the tables are very close together and the place is very noisy. Service - Despite how busy it was the service was great. Food - I ordered a combo of scrambled eggs, fried potatoes and a pancake. Everything was served hot and was very good. Value - my wife ordered a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel. Our total bill (including coffee) was around $40 (including a 20% gratuity), which I consider high for such basic meals. Thus, a 4 star rating, not 5

    Benedict
    Kevin M.

    This breakfast restaurant is one of the best breakfast restaurants around. The food, atmosphere, and service is amazing!. In regards to the food, we got the bennyffle, cinnamon swirl pancake, macadamia nut pancake, and the butter beer latte. The food was fantastic! The service and atmosphere was wonderful. This just added to the experience. next line, I would definitely come here again when I visit Orlando.

    Very busy when entering but wonderful atmosphere. Nice snap on the smoked breakfast sausage, eggs were fluffy, and house potatoes were soft and flavorful. Highly recommend trying.

For a simple meal for two people, the service was unreasonably slow throughout the evening. Our server, Svet, was polite and personable, but friendliness alone could not make up for the delays. The hummus appetizer was excellent and was easily the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful and served with pita, cucumbers, carrots, and red peppers. The food presentation overall was attractive and showed promise. The most serious issue occurred when my son ordered a refill of his virgin mojito and was served a drink containing alcohol. He immediately noticed something was wrong after taking a sip and handed it to me. I tasted it as well and confirmed that it contained alcohol. Serving alcohol in a child's drink is a significant mistake and should never happen. We also ordered the steak frites based on a recommendation and were told it was exceptional. Unfortunately, the steak was extremely tough and chewy, making it difficult to eat and far from what was described. Management apologized and removed the steak from the bill, but the combination of excessive wait times, the alcohol mix-up involving a minor, and the disappointing entrée left a poor overall impression.

We were staying at a Holiday Inn near Disney Springs so we decided to come here for a late dinner. One of the best decisions made here. We did a late night walk through the shopping center and landed here around 9:50 pm. It was pretty late and we worried there would be no seats but we were seated promptly. The establishment was very ambient, cozy, and well furnished. I liked the warm, glowing atmosphere of the restaurant. The server was extremely polite and took our order quite soon. We were starving after a long day but the food came out in around 20ish minutes which wasn't too bad. The serving sizes were quite huge. We didn't expect this much food for two portions. For $34 per plate, the dishes were large and came with a large helping of sides. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and juicy. They originally wanted to serve the food quickly/more fresh so they served a chicken thigh to me after on a second plate. They also forgot my substitution of Mac n cheese for mash potatoes so I got a free helping of mash which was sweet. The pickled cucumber was light and fresh which tasted great with the heavier chicken. The potatoes were a little heavy and I wish came with gravy, but still delicious. I really loved the Mac n cheese and finished that up. The chicken steak was also delicious with the grits but a little too salty. Wish they added the grits to the side for me to dip as it became a little too much at times. It was better to eat it with a side of potatoes to balance the flavor. The broccolini was sautéed perfectly and delicious, could eat a whole plate of those alone. The biscuits weren't bad but tasted better eaten with the potatoes. The food was a little heavy but so so good. We had to take half of the food to our hotel and ate it the next day for dinner as it was way too much food for one meal. Even after microwaving it, the food was just as delicious and flavorful. We spent about $80 but had so much food leftover. An expensive dinner, but everything tasted amazing. Would definitely come back if I had the chance.

The restaurant looked like it was only at half capacity (seating). The cashier was polite/friendly. It's sad to see a restaurant turn away customers. There were at least 8 parties that came and left because they didn't want to wait. I guess for a business that's a good problem to have. ‍ Giving three stars because the ambiance was nice, cashier seemed friendly, menu had a nice selection for brunch, speciality drinks/coffee. Next time I'm in town and try the food I can give additional two stars if the food is worth it.

    Ok this has to be my favorite restaurant in Orlando and I loved the food so much. Alfredo was my…read moreserver and he had the best recommendation and I loved it. The empanada came LOADED with shredded beef and this empanada didn't skimp out on quality. It tastes so good when you dip it with the green sauce and it was chef's kiss. I think this is the best empanada I ever had and when I tried other empanada, it doesn't even compare to this. I ordered another dish but I forgot the name and it's soo good. I was a little disappointed because the menu said pick 3 sides and I chose all beef. Alfredo didn't mention to me that there would be an additional charge for the beef. As a result, I had to pay an additional $10 which was very pricey and didn't find out until I received my bill and saw the charge. I didn't make any complaints because the employees seem not to speak English well and it's hard to be a foreigner trying to adapt to the culture and the language. But this is soo good and I can see why the reviews on yelp are all stellar.

    I live close, so have come here quite a bit over the year…read more Pro- Just got renovated, so it looks pretty. The staff is nice, and the food is good. They also have lunch specials, which is nice. Cons- There is ALWAYS a weird perm smell when you go. It literally smells like someone is perming their hair, so not good. Another con is sometimes it takes long to get your food. And last but not least, I think their prices are not reasonable lately. Some of the prices do not match their menu, not sure when they raised their prices but I have never ever heard of a patacon costing almost $26 anywhere, and I frequent a lot of Venezuelan spots. Their name went from Q'Kenan restaurant to Q'Kenan Steakhouse so maybe now they just raised all the prices, I don't know. Their most expensive patacon on the menu is the one with Picańha and it says $17...yet I got charged 25.90. Regardless of how good something is, there shouldn't be a $9 difference from what is on the menu. That is absurd. On my last trip- $43 for an empanada, tequeńos and a patacon just doesn't sound right for Venezuelan food, and I come from living in Miami where restaurants are supposed to be more expensive. Add a tip and you're paying over $50 for street food. That's wild.
