Convenient location on the edge of Vienna and near the Tunnel Hill Trail, Vienna Diner has ample parking and a bright entrance. Spacious interior, and I think one of the best features is the wide aisles between tables. Very comfortable for customers using a walker or wheelchair. Just a nice accommodation for diners. Wonderful service, even on a busy holiday. Struggling to keep up with a busy lunch rush, but they were holding it together quite well. Clean restrooms. Had the meatloaf special. Not fresh made meatloaf. This was more of a minced, spam-ish beef product with can gravy. Didn't taste like home, sadly. However, veggies were fine as were the fries. And for the price, overall a good value. This is a fine diner. I'd recommend sticking close to the short order classics. read more

Good food, friendly & quick service. Very kind staff. Little crowded when I went but that just proves people like it. I had a ribeye Steak & although it was a bit over cooked (I wanted medium rare) it was decent. I would definitely recommend more seasoning though. I would eat here again. read more

Excellent place to stop if you're on the road! The food is wonderful and there's a huge menu to choose from! Staff is very nice!! Clean dining room and lots of tables! read more

Well i am sad to leave this review. Not that this a bad place, just the opposite. My wife and I have made the Vieanna Diner a must stop place to eat each year for the past 7 years as to drive South to Florida and again when we drive back north to Wisconsin in the spring. What is sad is that they were closed when we stopped on 12/29/24. I was really looking forward to a great burger and fries and my wife swears they make the best BLT in the world. Well there were 4 cars in the lot, all driving south, and we compared notes on the wonderful food and friendly service we had always gotten at the Vienna Diner. I hope the owner reads this and knows that there are alot of us Snowbirds that look forward to having a meal at their diner. Well we will be looking forward to our trip back north in April and hope you are open then. A Very Happy New Year to you and your wonderful staff. read more

Almost gave this place 2 stars because the servers were sweet and worked hard. But the food was just not good. Nothing tasted fresh or homemade. The whipped spread that was far from being butter and not even really margarine was terrible and ruined the baked potatoes that were otherwise okay. read more

The food was great I am definitely going back the servers were very nice and attentive this is worth the price.

After a long bike ride we stopped by the diner and were met with smiles, good service and good food! We liked it so much that we went back the next day for breakfast which was a hit as well! Loved this place! read more

Good food, great service! Overall a pleasant place to stop in for lunch. Clean, bright, no TV or loud music. If we lived in the area, we'd be regulars! read more

We've been in there a few times and not been pleased with taste of food. Service has Ben alright. read more

The best Sunday Breakfast ... great service and fast. Highly recommended. Just stopped passing through, close to highway.

Great quality diner food. The menu is extensive - quite a surprise. Even though it doesn't say so, breakfast is served all day. We enjoyed omelets for dinner. My Greek omelet was layered with gyro meat and fluffy feta cheese. My toast (served on the side) came buttered and was perfect!!! I was surprised by how well staffed it was, better than you'd find at most far-bigger city restaurants. read more

Run of the mill diner vibe. We had a Taco Salad, a Greek Salad, and chicken wings. The Greek Salad came with a hard boiled egg that had a greenish color to it and smelled weird. Couldn't bring myself to try it. The major problem with dishes was there was no flavor..just bland. The service was good though. The waitress was friendly and attentive. I just wish the food would have been half as good as the service. read more

If you find yourself hungry in Vienna, there's no need you shouldn't stop in the Locals Diner. Fresh shrimp pasta and salads to name a few items, the salad dressings are homemade. A quaint diner with personality. Our waitress was on her game, she didn't miss a thing and neither did we. Thank you Vienna Diner! read more

I love love love this place!!!!!! Staff amazing cute seating area. Food amazing I love breakfast from here.

We stopped in here on a Sunday after a bike ride on the trail. The place was crowded and buzzing with activity. We were seated very quickly and our the service was good. The menu is huge, with something for everyone. I had the catfish sandwich and it was very good. The batter was crisp and the fish large and flaky. My wife had the patty melt and she said it was very good. Overall we were impressed with the quality of the food for such an out of the way place. read more

Wow. Just wow. driving through, stopped to get gas, saw the diner, it was packed. That's always a good sign. Went inside, got the daily special, which was meatloaf, it came with a ton of veg-all straight out of the can, and some other stuff. The meatloaf... Was it meat? It was so inedible. It looked like brown bread with gravy on it. . It was like sawdust. I have never had meatloaf so bad in my life. Maybe this is what they're used to in that area, but I wouldn't recommend it. Really, really bad. read more

Fast service Large selection great food and pie Taco salads look delicious but I went with a patty melt. Great burger! Pattied fresh. read more

As we are traveling across the country, we stopped off interstate 24 East in search of a place to eat. We found this gem of a diner! I forgot to get pictures of the food, but I ordered the gyro omelette and my friends ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and the salad. Everything was absolutely delicious! The food came out pretty quickly too. Definitely stop in if you can! read more

Excellent place to eat for good home cooked meal. My husband and I both had the special of BBQ ribs. They were fall off the bone good. The waitress was fantastic. Our drinks were never empty. For dessert I had the Key Lime pie, excellent choice for anyone who likes this kind of pie. read more

Just wanted to comment on the vegan options since there was already a review on the stir fry veggies. Caveat...this is a small town business run by a family which I applaud and if you are vegetarian or omnivore; yay for you. But their vegan option is limited to salads with the oil based dressings. I am unsure about their batters for fried foods or if the fry oil has any additives. But the veggie stir fry is made with rice that has been prepared with chicken broth. A server informed me of this a couple of years ago. read more

Very yummy Irish skillet - corned beef hash w peppers and the BEST biscuit I have ever eaten! We will be back ,

The staff were so polite! We came in very late with a large party and the servers were nothing but polite and courteous. The food was served very quickly and it was very good for the price. read more

If you are looking for good southern cooking, even just good cooking. Stop here and grab a bite. The breakfast is good. But dinner is better. The best dish is chicken Alfredo. I've been to many resturants all over Chicagoland and in many different states, but their Alfredo sauce is by far the best ive had anywhere and the fresh chicken it just melts in your mouth. The outside may not look like much, but the food is fabulous. The staff is great. They always pick up your dirty dishes and they are not always on topnof you. They have found a perfect balance. from the cooks to waitresses to the owners. Next time your in town or just passing through. Stop and try the chicken Alfredo. read more

This is a great country diner. The service was excellent. The lady has worked there since the place opened 11 years ago. The menu is massive. 10 adults in my party had everything from gyro, patty melt, burger, French toast, fries, homemade chicken noodle soup. It was all excellent. read more

Let me just start out with, the Italian Nachos were AWESOME! That's what kept this review from bein' worse. Maybe it was what we ordered? We split the 2 meatloaf plate, with mashed potatoes and a side salad. The salad was pretty sad, but the meatloaf and mashed potatoes were good. Did I mention how GREAT the Italian Nachos were? GIT 'EM!!! read more

My husband stopped in yesterday and brought me home a patty melt sandwich. I was surprised it was still hot 15 minutes later. The beef patty was large, thick, and juicy prepared with marbled rye bread. I really enjoyed it. My husband ate in the restaurant and ordered soup and sandwich. He said both were very tasty and service was good. I'm going to have to remember this place and try something else. read more

Food was decent. We were given lots to eat. Nothing was particularly inspired but it was all good.

Great food and service, really nice people that know what they are doing, had the Italian nachos which are my favorite, love this place.

I received my food very quickly. The Greek skillet was amazing. My friends loved their breakfast and we will be having lunch here also. Knowledgeable staff and very friendly. They would not put my friend's sandwich on Texas toast, however. Not even for three dollars more, so weird. read more

Great little diner a short run off highway. Delicious homemade soups. Great burgers! I run down here from Chicago regularly. I will stop again for sure. read more

On the road traveling and yelp didn't let us down on this one! Easy to see why there are no negative reviews. I'd give ten stars if I could. Such a wonderful staff of servers and such good food. We pulled up just after noon on a Sunday to a full parking lot, but we got seated and served without a hitch. Stop here if you can! read more

Stopped here on my way home from Brantley Gilbert concert. Of course, I yelped to see where we should stop to eat and this was ok top of the list. Looks very homey from the outside. It's a seat yourself place, so we sat by the window. There are so many options on the menu. According to the server, the owners used to own a steak and pasta place. You would've thought that's what I ordered. Wrong. I ordered the turkey club. It comes with two sides, so I got creamy chicken n rice soup and fries (to be safe). Holy moly. The soup was amazing! I should've just ordered a big bowl of soup. It was amazing. Sandwich was really good as well. Burgers are huge and fresh. Great taste as well. Food is great and a great value as well. If you're in the area, I suggest you stop in. Good ol home cookin. read more
