The servers were awesome. They got slammed with a bunch of customers all at once and the 2 servers kept up with everyone. 10/10, highly recommend!

Growing up going to Mary’s Diner, Edinger’s really brings me back to those days, just with more color and fun decor. Personally, I love a good diner, and this place has that same comforting feel that just makes you want to sit and stay awhile. The atmosphere is inviting, fun, and feels like home. The food is always great, and the homemade pies are obviously a hit for a reason. We also always love our waitresses too. They are consistently kind, attentive, and make the experience even better. It is the kind of place that makes you slow down for a minute and enjoy being there.

3-21-26 Been wanting to try this place for some time. We were passing through today and went for it. We're glad we finally stopped in. Very good overall! Nice quiet unassuming little restaurant with great American dishes! We had breakfast. Everything was great! My omelette was so fresh and tasty! My wife loved her breakfast skillet! The coffee is excellent! The servers are nice and friendly! Nice to see the locals greeting one another as they come in and out. We'll definitely stop again when we are back through this way!
