    Great waffles. The staff is friendly and prompt. We had a small mishap during lunch and the waitress took care of it right away and, without asking, they comped our meal. We will be back :)

    I love the #2 Breakfast special (2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, and hash browns)! It's so delicious. There's nothing here I haven't liked. 👍🏾

    I'll eat breakfast for any meal here - the Greek omelet is my fav... Being from the Heart of Dixie, best grits I've had in Texas!

    Good diner food, fast service, but higher priced. Also the service almost kicked us out, when we finished our meal, we would have liked to finish our conversation.

    Almost nothing better than hearing 'What can I getcha. Sugar?' at Original Market Diner. Except maybe the vegetable soup here. That's home cooking.

    If you sit next to the sunshine, chances are blue-eyed Dolores will be your waitress. She's lovely. A true Southern lady.
