The Diner - Davenport

The tenderloin was more of a mystery meat than anything. Would never order it again. Considering the cost the food is only generic frozen. Or so it seems. I suppose the breakfast is ok. The server was good and the atmosphere is also good. I really wish they'd improve their food!Food: 1/5

We ordered delivery, so I can't speak on the atmosphere or service. However, the food was not good. We both ordered the chicken fried steak biscuits and gravy. And added a tall stack of pancakes. Our biscuits were hard and hard to cut. The chicken fried steak tasted similar to the frozen varieties from the grocery store, and the gravy tasted like a grocery store mix, very bland. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the pancakes were a good size and very fluffy, and tasted like vanilla flavor regular pancakes. I don't believe we will order from there again.

Has always been my favorite brunch spot!! I have had many amazing experiences.Tyler was our server today and brought the best energy, love it here :)Food: 5/5

I cannot recommend the Diner enough! My favorite place to bring weekend guests for brunch. I also love to stop here after hitting the farmers market. I love the eclectic decor and vibe along with the sunny patio over looking the Mississippi River. Service is always excellent once you are seated, but expect a wait if you come on a weekend. They do have bar seating so you may be able to squeeze in more quickly with a small party.Now let's talk food! I feel it's hard to find a brunch spot that does both food AND drinks well, this place hits the mark for me. They have the largest list of mimosa flavors I've ever been offered and do flights, along with other both seasonal and year around boozie breakfast beverages. I'll be honest though, it's food that keeps me coming back. I normally opt for a skillet (country fried steak, jalapeño and sweet potato, Denver, whatever I'm in the mood for! One Sunday however I branched out and opted for the brunch burger holy cow, amazing decision! A juicy burger, thick bacon, melty cheese, a fried egg, sandwiched between 2 pieces of bourbon glazed French toast plus a side of sweet potato tots. I could only finish half, but it was an absolute show stopper.

It’s loud, it’s busy, it’s a wait for the food, but if you’re looking for a lively spirited place with great servers then you’re in the right place. Food is very good, but be patient. And try a bottomless mimosa or one of their fancy **** Mary’s…the wait will seem less obvious.
