Reviews for Gainesville Diner in Gainesville, VA
From out of town for a wedding. We were a large party, so I expected some delay. I'm reasonable and get it. The staff was... friendly but a little all over the place and unorganized. The food was not bad. It was clean inside imo. They did end up givingmy kids playdough to play with after waiting a long time for our food. But I did find it a little not cool that they werebringing out adult food prior to the kids food. Most places bring out the kids food first. Because kids be crazy, especially ifthey are hangry. It took a while to get our drinks, mainly my husband. And I was never once offered a refill after an accidentalspill. If I was back in town, I would give one more chance because the waitress was friendly and the food was decent. But somestuff def needs working on. But I will say I think it's GROSS that the owner is replying to dissatisfied customers implying theyjust go to IHOP. That is really just not okay. Bad form. Edit: also we asked for butter for my son and never got it. Plus thespill was on his pancakes too... So no offer for new ones either. So that I felt could have been handled better too. Read more
We drove by wanting to find something to eat before we were back on the road, i found this place on google and I'm glad i did. ... The menu has a wide variety of food (which my husband doesn't like breakfast food so this worked out perfectly) fast andfriendly service made us feel at home :) Read more
Everything started out great. Then we placed our order and waited and waited. Inquired and told they were short handed and... taking a little longer. In the mean time they seated a table of 11. After now 55 min waiting for food, we noticed the table of11 was getting their food. We were a table of two for breakfast food. We left. Read more
Horrible service. We waited for more than one hour for the food. After 30 minutes of ordering they came to tell me they don't... have the appetizer we ordered! After that we had to wait for more than 40 minutes. That's when I went to talk to the waitressesand she said the food was almost ready. I have a 2 year old and you know how difficult it is to keep a toddler in a highchairwaiting for her food. First and last time in this place. After that we had to leave never got the food.....Update after hisunprofessional response....Are you telling me that I am a liar? We sat literally for one hour and food never showed up. No oneever came to us to let us know they were running late. I see you like sending people to IHOP. Is this how you run a business? Read more
Obviously a family-owned restaurant, so very quaint and friendly staff.
Great small town / home style environment. Service is excellent and staff is very nice & friendly. One of the few breakfast... places I like and which my order is always 100% correct.. only place where I can ask for crispy hashbrowns and actually receivethem! Very friendly menu choices and ability to customize. Read more
We had a wonderful breakfast this morning at Gainesville Diner! Service was fast and pleasant. Our omelettes were delicious... and made with fresh ingredients. So glad we tried this for the 1st time and will definitely be back. Local dining spot we havebeen looking for! Read more
Service delivery was pretty quick on Saturday morning. They were very busy but my cheese eggs were barely warm and my Belgian... waffle was so cold the butter didn't melt at all. I had to ask for a coffee refill. My cup of grits were good. Read more
