The Diner located in Inverness Florida is one of the best restaurants in citrus county for breakfast and lunch. A hidden gem. The food is served hot and is very delicious. You won't be disappointed!

We ate here on our way to Manatee Springs and ot was so good. Really the best omelet I've had in awhile. The mushrooms were cut small and just the right amount of cheese. My husband's was perfect too. He said his homefries were great. Great staff, very friendly and efficient.

Great little diner! My spinach, mushroom, cheese omelette was fluffy and delicious. Had tater tots and even gluten free toast. Their grilled biscuits are delicious. Husband and I each ate big breakfast for just over $30. Would recommend!

If I could eat here everyday I would- First time visit on a Sunday morning. As busy as it was, from seat to eat was only about 15 minutes. Western Omelette, absolutely delicious. Hashbrowns, cooked perfectly, not rafted in a pond of grease, hot and crispy. Sausage egg and cheese croissant was excellent. Lightly crisp, flakey croissant, fluffy folded egg with tasty seasoned sausage and melted cheddar. Flapjacks were awesome, kids gobbled them up in 2 minutes. And the home fried taters and onions were Amazing. Hat tip to the kitchen! The entire staff was super friendly and on point. They really run this establishment well, and obviously take pride in serving their customers really good food, not an unhappy patron did I see. The Diner is well worth a detour if your in the area!

Update 1/25/26. Still the best small diner around! Had an amazing huge county fried pork tenderloin with a side of sawmill type gravy, 2 eggs, grits and toast for about $15. It was yummy and lots leftover. I've never had a bad meal here and service is on top! Give it a try! You won't be sorry for great southern style food. Great little mom n pop type diner serving breakfast and lunch until 2. Been here several times and always served hot tasty food very promptly. Just try their Egg Benedict! Eggs are perfect and i usually get the hollandaise sauce on the side to add what I want. The pancakes are lite n fluffy the size of a dinner plate! Sandwiches are hearty with plenty of toppings and meat. Servers are friendly and give awesome service! Prices are very reasonable as well. One of our favo
