    One of the area's best diners. Don't be fooled by looks; plenty of parking across Floral near the firehouse. Love breakfast and lunch, always with a smile.

    I must say, the Village Diner definitely won me over. Not only is the diner cozy, but it appears that they care for the stray cats in the area and provide them with food and water (major points there!) Back to talking about the diner, service us excellent. My party was sat down and serviced as soon as we entered the establishment. The food is amazing and didn't last long enough for pictures. Highly recommended.

    If you have an open mind, you will give this 5 stars too! Traveling out of town from VA, this place met our Yelp criteria of at least 4.5 stars (4.6) and more than 100 reviews. Driving up, we weren't so sure, but we always find that the "hole in the wall" places are the absolute best. When we entered we were greeted by the friendliest staff (maybe the owner?) and the wait staff were just as friendly. The local patrons were friendly and talkative and made their own food recommendations. We ended up with the sausage gravy and biscuits, which we are both very picky about, and it didn't disappoint! Biscuits were fresh and gravy was hearty. We saw a few other items on the menu that intrigued us so we will be back tomorrow. We are here with our 18U travel softball team and have spread the word.

    Was in Binghamton for work and was looking for a local place for breakfast. What a great place! Driving by it looks like a greasy spoon and inside doesn't disappoint. It was like walking back into time. The place was clean and the food was amazing. Was really cool to walk in and see the brown eggs sitting by the grill. I set at the bar and the cook was very friendly and we had a good conversation. You could tell he loved what he was doing. The server was very attentive too and did a great job. The food was fresh and local. Like breakfast at my grandmas house when I was a kid. I look forward to visiting again when I'm in town for work.

    Love this place ! Only been twice for breakfast but each time the meal was top notch, very personable service, with attention to details. Owner is often around cleaning windows , filling coffee cups and just welcoming everyone to his "home". The vibes here are really "groovy" as it's tie dye and Grateful Dead greetings everywhere along with lots of pictures on the walls . Oh yeah they also participate in a local charity drive for their community.. love that ..the prices are also throwback !! Mmmmmm

    This diner is super unsuspecting but was some of the best food I had on my recent trip to the area. I came on a Saturday at about 10:30 and waited maybe 20 minutes for a table (party of 2). I opted for the seasonal pumpkin waffle and was not disappointed. It had great spice flavor, was super fluffy and I loved the addition of whipped cream. I also ordered sides of breakfast potatoes and cheese grits. I don't usually love cheese in my grits but I was in the mood for them. I will say I still wish they had been plain instead of cheese but they had a great consistency. The breakfast potatoes almost stole the show. Super crispy on the outside, almost creamy/silky on the inside with great seasoning. On top of all of this, the service was great and food came out extremely quickly. I will definitely be stopping by again if I'm in the area!
