They have jacked their prices so high and give you a smaller portion. I was served their daily special a couple days ago couldn't eat it because it tasted so bad the waitress asked if I would like something new so I ordered a small cheeseburger which was smaller then their daily special and it cost me more. When I mentioned it to the person at the register she was agreeing with me until my waitress came up a said I changed my order so I had to pay a higher price even though the portion was smaller then my original order. She became very snotty and rude so instead of creating a seen I just paid my bill and left. They used to be a great place but are steadily going downhill read more

The best fresh no frozen hamburgers and delicious thick chocolate shakes also love about everything on the menu

Good food good prices. Your not going to say it's the best you've ever had but it's consistently good and consistent fair priced. This is the kind of place you'd frequent if you eat out every day and want good food without applying for a bank loan read more

This diner is always packed! Food is always hot and fresh, waitresses are fast & friendly and they have breakfast specials from 7am til 11am everyday starting at $2.89. You can't go wrong with this place read more

This is probably my favorite diner in Flint. I love the atmosphere! The layout and decor feels more authentic than the Mega (though there will always be a special place in my heart for it). The service is always friendly and prompt. Prices are reasonable, and the food is tasty. Albeit, it's not the healthiest of selections, but diners never really are. My fondest memories of this place are of being here with Reggie Bell from Kettering. He takes his students to dinner once a semester to this diner. It's his -favorite-. Sometimes you can spot him here just casually dining. :) Say hi to him and he'll remember you forever. The Westside employees have taken notice to how many Kettering and other college students frequent the place, and now they offer 10% off of each bill if you present your student ID! Cool beans! read more

Awesome Diner, visited here while visiting fam fm Santa Monica, CA; It's good food at a great price. Ate Roscoe's chicken / waffles in LA 5-11-12 yep the one Obama ate at, but had Coty's chicken / waffles 4/24/12, awesome and a better deal, $9 for 4pcs / 2waffles a large meal at Coty's and $33 at Roscoe's 8pcs and 4waffles - They make what is called broasted chicken it's good. Nice staff / owners. Flint has some cool diners and small restaurants you guys should b proud of read more

This place is a fantastic place for a comforting meal. Whether you are stressed out, hungover, or desiring simpler times, this is the place for you. The staff is incredibly friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. I especially enjoy the oldies music which perfectly matches the atmosphere adding to the 50's diner ambiance. read more

Westside Diner - Classic 50's style. What time is it? Time to eat. - Diners Near Me - Flint, Michigan

A 12 year old could make better food at home. Cheese sticks were the dollar tree brand, pancakes were rubbery, omelette had un melted shredded cheddar cheese inside of it. Absolutely disgusting. Did not eat more than two bites of each of those things I ordered, did not even want to take it home in a box. Wouldn't feed the food to my dog. Absolutely disgusting. read more

My husband and I love the place. They have great breakfast lunch and dinners. Everyone is really nice there. I love all the old pictures of the 50s & 60s. You all need to try this. They also have a drive through. My favorite are the coney dogs and taco salad and western omelet with crispy hash browns and a side of sausage gravy. On Ballenger by the corner of Miller rd. Please try..... read more

We love Westside Diner. They have great breakfast, burgers, soups and coneys. The inside is 50's, and they are often busy so you may have a wait depending on when you go. They have good specials too!! One of my favorites is their chicken and dumpling soup that they make on site and have just about every day. read more

My brother used to come here about 9 years ago in college with his friends so he wanted us to go and try it out too. We were not disappointed! It was really great food and priced well for the portions you get! The place is like a 5 & Diner and I loved it! Very fun, yummy food, and great service! read more

My wife and I absolutely love West Side Diner. It's your typical greasy spoon, with great food and excellent service. We have never been disappointed here. We don't get to go out to eat often, but when we do, West Side is often where we choose to go. read more

Seriously good food! Real hand formed hamburger patties, fresh fries, excellent homemade coleslaw, coney dog with the best homemade chili topping & softest steamed bun I've ever had! Will definitely be back when I'm in the area! read more

Westside Diner - Coney Island basket & Hamburger/Shake combo - Diners Near Me - Flint, Michigan

See all

It seems this place is all the rage but its over rated. Allow me to explain; After spending over 25 years in Food Service Industry in various positions and levels this i can say about this location. A hamburger and french fries no one should be able to mess up. But there is always exceptions to the rule. I found the hamburger overcooked to where it was indeed on the dry side. I would have expected more from a family restaurant, even Wendys and McDonalds has this aspect beat. Could the cook be having a bad day? Perhaps. But i would expect somewhat better. The french fries seemed to be on target but nothing special like Rallys/Checkers. IF this place wants to succeed it needs more than fancy decor. read more

this has been my favorite diner in flint. granted the lunch menu is boring for a vegetarian and the veggie sandwhich is only okay the breakfast is pretty baller. i always go in here starving, thinking i should order more than a breakfast plate, but i never have to the portions are totally reasonable, almost too reasonable for the price. i pay 6.25 for a vegetarian omelette with feta cheese, which comes with potatoes and toast. the first time i ate here my omelette was pretty much perfect, the second time my dining companion ordered the same thing i did and it seemed like they ran out of feta between our omelettes since my almost had none on it. they serve malts, which makes me super happy because i'm not a huge fan of shakes and my boyfriend always wants to get them. my only complaint is the rye bread. how can you even call that rye? it's so mild, my meat eating boyfriend said it really took away from his reuben. i'm giving it a five because its my favorite diner in flint, not because it is the best diner i've ever been to. read more

Very flint-esque, so I didn't expect much, but the staff was very nice and their kitchen and bathrooms were very clean. That can tell you a lot about a restaurant. On to food, I had the taco salad which 6 or so dollars and I was very satisfied with my meal. 4/5 would eat here again. Probably will. read more

We have lived 2 miles from this place for the past 10 years and finally went. We've been missing out!! The breakfast is awesome and the service is great! Our new favorite place for our weekend breakfast. We love the little counter top area. It's fun to watch the cooks in action. read more

This is one of my favorite diners, due largely in part to their amazing malts/shakes. They are so ridiculously thick and you can freeze them and enjoy their deliciousness later. I went recently and had their chili fries - quite good. Their burgers are large and yummy and some of the waitresses are quirky and can be very entertaining - I went with a large group awhile ago and our waitress made many a sarcastic jab at various members of our table - but all in good fun. Unfortunately not open in the wee hours of the morning - but that's what the Mega is for. The decor is typical 50s diner stuff - lots of Marilyn and classic car models/pictures adorning the walls. It's between Corunna and Miller on S. Ballenger, and I never would have noticed it had someone else not told me about it. read more

Good food surprised me I don't live in Flint but this is a gem . Waitress was friendly and food good I would recommend it.

Has been a family favorite for ages, the staff is always lovely and quick as well as has a cozy atmosphere. Food is hot and delicious.

I don't like to give 4 stars to a diner but in comparison to the other diners in Flint this place shines. I had a hamburger steak dinner. The hamburger could have used more seasoning(it had none) but it was goof otherwise with nice mashed and gravy. What made it stand out in my estimation was the salad, nice fresh lettuce, a slice of tomato, red onion, cucumber, shredded cheese with a nice amount of ranch. We will be back for more than our usual breakfast. read more

Great diner food and great price. Hash browns weren't too greasy, oats were perfect, great service, and food comes quick. 100% prefer it over other diners I've been to. read more

Great place and atmosphere staff was great and food is impeccable. I have had the bacon cheeseburger it is the best I have had here in flint. read more

I've been coming here since I was little and I'll always love it ! Best food around town ! Sometimes the service gets a little bad when they get busy, but the food totally makes up for it, the cooks are great. Breakfast, lunch or, dinner, no matter what time of day it is, I love getting food from here !!! Whatever it is they are doing, I like it !! The cinnamon French toast is on point ! read more

We came in for breakfast. The food was good, the prices were great. What I didn't love was the menu. It was the very definition of a dated diner menu. read more

I love this place it's the best of two places in Flint that offer the true turkey hot plate. It has Turkey gravy even most places ruin it by only having chicken or beef gravy (yuck) the portions are large but the price is real good. The place is deck out like the 50's and 60's with lots of history to look at Its a great experience and great food who could ask for more. read more

Great food, huge portions and friendly service. We ate here several times on out week visit. Would recommend to anyone.... lots of variety on the menu. read more

My wife and I live a few blocks away so we often walk here. Great breakfast specials before 11, and everything else is pretty good too. Good and usually cheap. It's a little hole in the wall, but usually pretty quiet and relaxed (if not during lunch rush, which still isn't bad). read more

A nice local hole in the wall diner, especially for inexpensive and fast breakfast. The place is usually packed on weekends day breakfast time. Eggs, hash browns, toast, coffee and crispy bacon for two people about $8. Friendly and attentive service. Usually try to pop in for breakfast when visiting family in Flint. read more

My husband and I have been here twice in the last couple of weeks. We are very impressed with the quality of the food, the prices and the service. Awesome fish and chips. Great breakfasts. read more

While I have frequented the diner often over the year tonight's service, or lack of, was awful enough for me to write my first ever review. The three waitress bickered and complained to and with each other the whole time we were there. (6:45-7:50 pm). They swept around us but didn't take the order. They continued arguing while giving us the bill. Loudly fighting over who broke the broom. I asked for a cup of ice to go after we paid bill and left 20+ percent tip. Was told rudely that it would cost a dollar. Mind you, this restaurant is one block from city of Flint border where Flint resident can not safely drink or use the city water. Talk about screwing the people! I asked to speak to the manager. Was told they didn't know where he was. They were "just the waitresses" but I was welcome to wait until 9 pm when they closed to see if manager showed up. I took the challenge and miraculously five minutes later he showed up. He was even more rude than his staff telling me ice cost a dollar. It was no longer about the ice, but costumer service. He just told me to leave. Won't be going back and will spread the word about his rudeness. read more
