    Besides the wait which was expected, everything was pretty good. I was in a group of 9 and they were able to accommodate us. The waitress was absolutely wonderful and helpful in every way. The food was delicious.. highly recommend their amazing biscuits! The chicken was a bit on the bland side in my opinion but I would order again.

    Such a fantastic dining spot. The food arrives quickly and every dish we have tried has been full of flavor. Service is always friendly and attentive, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Even when it looks busy, they manage seating efficiently. This place has become our go to whenever we are in town.

    I hadn't been to the Midnight Diner since they had moved to their current location. But rest assured, the nostalgic ambiance, food, and service had not lost one single iota of it's previous eclectic charm.
    We were seated almost immediately and after a short period of time, one of the waitstaff came to the table to check on us. Her name was Kayla, who was also the manager. Very engaging, extremely personable, and sharp, with a quick wit.
    The food was plentiful and fantastic. I am a disabled veteran, and everything is handicap accessible, throughout.
    From the tin-stamped ceiling squares, to the comfortably padded booth seating, music playing, multiple TV's, and framed gold records on the walls, it was truly a memorable experience.
    If you're anywhere near downtown, or not, it's truly worth the drive as a destination for some really good food and the engaging, and personable staff members.

    Everything was great, I have no complaints. Usually restaurant mac and cheese isn’t good, but this one was great. I love sides and had the mac and cheese and collard greens, and both were really good.

    My steak was good too. The restaurant was very clean inside, which really stood out.

    The staff was friendly and sweet. My server John was very nice, very attentive, and gave his best recommendations. Marcus, the host, got us seated and did a great job. He even came back through to do table touches, which I appreciated.

    Don’t think about it, just pull up.

    Update: Later the same evening, around 9:05 PM, I ate food I had ordered to go earlier. I had a Philly with a side of collard greens. As I was finishing the greens, I noticed a hair in them. My hair is pink. I warmed the greens up, put hot sauce and devoured them. Unfortunately, I had already eaten them by the time I saw it. It was disappointing which is why I won’t be returning.

    Easily the coolest diner I've been to. The menu had the perfect number of options; not disappointing or overwhelming. And Amber Rae is the best server ever! So kind and hospitable. My fiancee and I had the spaghetti (served with a great side salad), Firecracker chicken sandwich (with fries), and a pecan waffle. All portions were very generous for the price and the food was delicious. Even the iced tea was fresh brewed. You can tell they really run a tight ship at this place, and even when it got busy after 10PM, service never slowed. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and wish it was much closer to my home! My only complaint is that I did have to pay to park, but that's to be expected in a big downtown area.
