Avalon Diner Reviews

Old school diner. Perfect for breakfast and lunch or brunch even. Lot of older / elder customers eat here, which means it tends to be a quieter establishment. A breakfast recommendation is the Migaz with flour tortillas. They also have great pancakes you can get bananas baked into or bacon. Server was super nice and even helped my friend get his leftovers into a to-go container as he struggled a little bit.

4.8/5
Classic drugstore diner vibe with the decor and menu items on point. We went at the peak of their busy hours (Sunday Morning) and had a bit of a wait (~25 mins) so bring your patience. We got the big breakfast and Grill Cook’s Medley and both were great! And to top it all off, they do have the best coffee as advertised!
Highly recommend and will be coming back!

What brought us here was Kevin wanted biscuits and sausage gravy & the have the best fluffy biscuits & very good gravy.
I got the chicken fried steak omelette. I was expecting maybe some chopped up pieces of meat, but this had a whole large chicken fried steak with gravy wrapped up in an egg blanket with cheese on top. It was very good. The chicken fried steak was very tender almost crumbling apart like hamburger.
I asked for the hash browns "extra crispy". I just wanted them left on the grill long enough to get brown on both sides. What I got was a pile of deep fried crunchy potato noodles, like potato chip texture. That was unexpected, but pretty good.

It was exactly what we were hoping for overall. The ambiance, the service, the hospitality, the menu - it was all on point. The food at my table ranged from good to great. I had the 1938 Original Hamburger with the works plus cheese and bacon and curly fries and it was fantastic!
The reviews on the meatloaf, chicken salad sandwich, and chicken strip salad were all very good. The desserts of apple pie, coconut cream, and chocolate mouse were amazing. Look forward to going again!

Loved this spot! Tons of personality. Great service. Very busy and positive environment. I love a greasy spoon diner, so got basic eggs meat and toast and was very happy. Kids portions were pretty small. But tasty. My wife thought the corned beef hash left a lot to be desired.
I’d go back all the time if I was local!

We had a great time in this classic-feeling diner. I was delighted to see they have classic thin waffles! The coffee was great too. When we were there it was absolutely packed and there was one extremely skilled waiter serving all the tables at once. He was so fast and accurate. We will definitely be back!

What an awesome spot for breakfast - the vibe they have along with the outstanding service perhaps masks that the food isn’t absolutely 5*, but the whole experience (plus the milkshakes…”As Rich as your Landlord”) mean this isn’t a place to miss out on when your feeling a little hungover.
Absolute winner, with decent prices to match

This is one of the best old-school diners in town. The breakfast is southern comfort and is amazing. Their biscuits are warm and fluffy, their gravy is nice and thick, and their eggs are very tasty. Their breakfast meats are very good and well cured. The staff is amazing. They will welcome you with an open smile and if they identify you as a regular they will remember who you are and what you like to eat. It is a shame that places like this are dying but I’m glad the Avalon diner is going strong. Highly recommend for breakfast.

First time to this restaurant. We went for breakfast around 10am on a Friday . There was no wait but just a couple tables open and several spots at the diner counter.
The place is adorable and reminded me of my younger years. The food is excellent. I had the veggie breakfast quesadilla and my husband and had the western omelet.
It was super fast service but we weren’t in a hurry. The servers were very nice.
We will come back here
