The Diner in Lloydminster

Good food good service, all good.

Such great food! I would highly recommend anything on the menu.

Money well spent hot food always and if your going to eat here bring an extra stomach with you as the serving are massive Definitely a #1 spot to eat at.

One of my favorite places to eat with my family

GREAT SCOTT! Thats a good description of tgat burger.

Service has gone downhill over last couple of months and sadly the food has as well

Friendly service right off the hop! Great spot for all-around food. Breakfast is a must! Very generous portions.

Food was amazing. Very large portions and reasonably priced. Loved that they offered gluten free bread at breakfast. Definitely will be running customers

I ordered take out for 4 and we had enough food to feed 8! Such great food that didnt leave you feeling sick after.

Always great.

The food is good but they suck at phone orders. Nobody ever seems to be near the phone when you call in for take out.

Excellent food great service

Great place to dine, atmosphere, friendly staff, service was great . I recommend this restaurant if u want decent meal. Kid-friendliness: Kids will b kids

We were in town for work over 10 days. We found The Diner on day 7 and ate there every meal possible after that. The food is the best in town, the service is spectacular. Knocked it out of the park every visit. Thanks! Give Chase and the rest of the staff a raise! They deserve and earned it! Food

Have ordered many times. The Chinese food is top notch for Lloydminster. Today (2024/08/08) the place was absolutely packed, every table full and the lobby overflowing. There were only two servers working. Despite this, they were polite, professional and more than reasonably quick given the circumstances.

Nothing wrong with the food or the place, its all very fresh and delicious, just my omelettte came on a bed of potatoes which I want super fond of, maybe something to change? Maybe people love it! Want my cup of tea but a great spot either way with lots of great food Im sure

Little hidden gem on the edge of town. Great food options for everyone in the family as well as friendly staff to take your order. Cheese cake is pretty yummy here too.

Great food, but todays order was rushed, flavorless, and overcooked (hard) And in addition, sadly portion sizes are going down more and more. When i order here i usually spend at least 90 dollars on Chinese, but might have to look for other options. Not nearly as much food as i have gotten in the past. When i pay substitution fees, those dishes need to be better.

Very good and affordable

Great food. Great service. Great ambience.

Brilliant! I loved it!

Everything was Awesome. Definitely coming back..

Good service and food! Nice place to stop for some grub. Nothing special that stood out to me though. Had the BLT with fries and gravy. Was a-okay.

Excellent

Awesome food, Excellent service!

Kamryn was such a wonderful waitress. Our drinks were never empty! She was amazing! I would recommend her to anyone!

Chase was a great server. Very attentive. Food was very tasty. We will be back!

The waitress Kim was great

If you want to get good food and a nice portion, this is the restaurant. You should never leave a restaurant, and you are still not full yet . I love this restaurant not only because of their big plates but also because of the good cuisine ! Food : 5/5

Well, what can I say about The Diner? Ive been numerous times, and EVERY time the food and service is top notch, spectacular. I love their breakfasts. Ive tried their French toast and pancakes but my favourite is their strawberry bubble waffle (cream on the side, as they put on a LOT!). I also enjoy their milkshakes and their Great Scott burger which involves an egg (runny yolk!) and hollandaise sauce. Dont knock it til youve tried it. Handpressed patty and a delicious bun makes this one of the top burgers in Lloydminster, easy. Kim and Chase are warm and welcoming, very professional, and great at their jobs. If I could afford it Id tip them 500% of the bill. Its also affordable and a very pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. I go to dine there on my own quite a bit and never feel awkward. I hope The Diner is here for a long time to come.

Came in for breakfast. This place is absolutely amazing one of the best eggs Bennies I ve had!

Me and my boyfriend came in for brunch of the weekend for the first time and it was great! We both got omelettes and they were huge! Portions are really impressive especially for the prices. Also very cute inside, fitting of the name. Chase was an awesome server, super friendly and attentive to us! Definitely want to go back and try more food on the menu!

Good food, good service. No wait time, nice place!

We love the Chinese food here and we usually have to get to-go boxes as the portions are big. Service is always great too! Eggs Benny are delicious! Food

Great service and great atmosphere. Food was absolutely delicious. Chase our server was very excellent and listen carefully and very friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone.

My wife and I decided to celebrate Valentines Day at this restaurant, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. Our server, Gia, provided outstanding service, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. The Chinese food we came for was fantastic, but Gias recommendation of the crab rangoon and homemade cheesecake was a delightful surprise that we couldnt resist, and they were absolutely divine! The food arrived promptly and hot, with generous portions which we ended up having leftovers for lunch the next day. Thanks to the great service and the delicious food, weve found our new favourite spot. Well definitely be returning regularly. Highly recommended! I didnt expect to leave feeling so satisfied, especially on Valentines Day. It was a delightful surprise to have such a wonderful experience.

Server was amazing. Food was great!

We went here for supper and cant say enough good things about it. The history of being in the family and moving locations is cool and the staff was amazing! Our server, Chase, was so great. Very friendly,quick,attentive, and knowledgeable. Plus the food was excellent. I had a great Sunny Burger and my wife had some Chinese food, and it was all excellent,and very affordable. I highly recommend it!

Much too quiet, you can hear everyone chewing and you can hear the kitchen staff chatting.

Me and my family tried it for the first time and 2 of us got food poisoning, and the food wasn t the good won t go back again

Our server was Chase he was super nice, humble. This is an amazing restaurant to go to our experience was amazing.

Food is fresh and tasty. You can trust the food is fresh, and that is priority for me...

Generous serving but not on the actual meat you ordered for. My wife had the beef broccoli and said she got only 3 small slices of beef. Excellent staff service though! Kid-friendliness: They offer kids meal

If zero was possible I would give it that. I took my family out it was not busy when we got there. We waited over an hour still no food asked if it was coming she said its the next bill in line. Twenty minutes after asking we receive our meals one was wrong and one was cold. Sent cold one back! you would think they would rush it out nope 30 minutes go by and still nothing. So never got a meal they gave a discount on the one that was made wrong and never received the one they said they would bring back hot. The food we did receive had zero flavour in all the meals. Lets just say we went to A&W after. We will not be back to the diner. We have tried it 3 times now thinking its changed due to good reviews nope still very poor service and poor quality of food.

Food and service is excellent

This place is a gem portions will fill you. Unfortunately I have not been able to try thier desserts.

Was good food, fast and friendly service with a solid diner ambience. Will be returning

Ordered liver and onions with bacon. Took 30 minutes to get, but it was delicious. The portion of liver is large. Husband had #3 chinese plate and subbed the chow mein for beef and broccoli and it was good. Would be nice to see a seniors menu as the portions on my plate was too much.

Good food and service.

Great food and fantastic service

Great food and service

Excellent

Sunny ran his restaurant in Maidstone my whole life. He moved it to Lloyd and handed it over to his daughters to run it. Jade cooks just as good, maybe even better than her dad, in my opinion. She has really nice staff working for her serving the customers.

Fantastic breakfast, homemade potatoes Service was fast and friendly and good coffee Vegetarian options: Yummy veggie omelets Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian gluten free

Great spot for breakfast. We attended early morning service was great and the food was better. We had pancakes egs bacon sausage all tasted great. Food

I was excited to try this restaurant because of the excellent reviews I read. Unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. We ordered the Chinese #2 & 4 dinners for one for pickup. The food was tasteless, the chow mein was nothing but a bunch of noodles and little else, the chow mien looked good but the vegetables were barely cooked, they used the broccoli stems but forgot peel the tough outer skin off before cooking and there were also hard pieces of cabbage core in it as well. The chicken balls, sweet and sour pork & shrimp were edible but not great and the dry ribs were pretty much just bone & coating. We threw out over 3/4 of the meals. We won t be returning.

Highly recommend this place to anybody looking for great food with outstanding service. Chase was very attentive and responsive to our needs. The food was to die for! Best Chinese food Ive had in years!

The staff is friendly, the food is delicious and huge portions!

Good all around!

Been wanting to try the Chinese food for awhile but I was got impatient because they wouldnt start cooking it right away and would go somewhere lol well they started Chinese food early and it sure hit the spot. Recommend this place to anyone

Amazing staff, great coffee and eggs benedict. Overall its far and away the best breakfast spot in the Lloyd area

Excellent food. Great service. Would definitely recommend.

Sticker shock! I can get a burger or sandwich for the same price at Long Branch. Way too high prices. Lower prices and perhaps people might go there. Keep the food we went elsewhere.

Wonderful staff, great food and clean restaurant.

This should be everyones go to breakfast destination in Lloyd. Food was delicious, fresh, and arrived in generous portions. The establishment itself is clean and fresh, has modern decor with slight retro feel (or maybe that was the service..) What set it above your normal mundane dining experience, which is far too typical these days, was the exemplary service provided by each of the 3 staff we interacted with. Very friendly and positive energy, they clearly take pride in their work. One look at their Facebook page will show that the cook/chef is always working to make new mouth watering creations. Go try The Diner!

The food was exactly what I was hoping for, local joint, good atmosphere. Had a great dinner and all around happy. You want to budget about 25 / person.

There is nothing to complain about this place. Found it by others reviews as we were passing through, and definitely not disappointed. Falls under dont judge a book by its cover

This place was phenomenal! 20/10 recommend. Great portions, decent pricing. Didnt mind substitutions. Dietary restrictions: Had no issues with substitutions to accommodate. Parking: Right there. Spacious. Plenty. Kid-friendliness: Child loved her meal and choices. Waiter was kind to her, talked to her.

Awesome food!! Great service!!

Delicious food and great service. Pricess are spot on and a very comfortable atmosphere. Kid-friendliness: Staff were great with my 4 yr old and crayons go a long way.

I went here for both breakfast and supper, and both experiences were superb. Dishes were prepared quickly and delicious. Definitely returning to this establishment and would recommend anyone looking for a meal at any point in the day.

Everything we tried here was fantastic, can not wait to try their breakfast

Enjoying relaxing place to eat, great service from the waiter and waitress.

Great food! They also have good gluten free options!

Always good food and service. Enjoy going here

This is one of my favorites in Lloydminster. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a quiet atmosphere and super friendly staff

Just go! Youll be so happy you did! When I lived in Lloyd, anytime I had friends or family come to town this is where I would take them to eat! The service is always friendly, the food is always awesome, the portions never leave you wanting!

This little place is a gem. The food is delicious and probably the next best thing to home cooked. The staff super friendly and service impeccable. Well done folks.

45+ minutes for bacon and eggs

Super cute diner, very friendly staff! Their fries are delicious! We also tried their Chinese food that they offer. It honestly was not my favourite, to be honest, and the fried rice was barely warm when it was delivered to the table. We did get there an hour before closing, so it could be contributed to that, but regardless, still not hot. Other than that, overall, it was not a bad experience, Id probably return but not likely to order the Chinese food.

Best Chinese food in town

Great Food. Good size portions. Reasonable price. Friendly service.

Nice place good environment

Had the chowmein. It had so much sauce it was more like soup. And the shrimp was definitely not top quality.... Have something else.

I love the Diner. The brunch is amazing and the staff always respectful! Love this place.

Large portions and great options for kids, family and friends Personaly I am gluten intolerant and they had such a large variety of food options for me! This diner was very much inclusive of everyone

Great breakfast, good Chinese food is costly, but they give huge portions.

Greatest brunch place in Lloyd by far.

Food was great, portions were large, but the server was a bit scattered.

Best breakfast in town. Great lunch menu. This place doesnt disappoint.

Delicious food and big helpings! This is an adorable little gem that you should definitely visit as often as your pants will allow! My husband had the chicken sandwich and I had the bacon cheeseburger, both of us had fries and gravy. No complaints whatsoever. The fries were delectably crispy, the gravy had great flavor, and the burger itself was a drool-worthy stack of deliciousness! Whether youre craving breakfast, Chinese or a really good burger, hit up The Diner!

Food is to die for. And the service from Chase is next level every time we go

Excellent customer service and food.

Great staff

Went in Easter Sunday, ordered the breakfast Jeanies Special. Service was really good and timely. Server took our order and timing was great never had to ask for refils of coffee.The cook prepared the food perfectly. No complaints Best dining experience by far

Staff were welcoming and courteous which made a good first impression. Clean, nice decor eating environment. Server pleasant and helpful. Great presentation of food with good amount. Also, reasonably priced. We actually went a second time the next day and would definitely recommend. I hear their Chinese menu is great as well!

This place is legit fire. Anthony and their overall staff is an insane and their food is well priced and fanastic.

Terrific food. Great atmosphere!! Will be back xoxo

Super food and great staff. Give them a try. Can be busy as it is a small venue. Go, see, eat and enjoy

Was cold in there, food was cold

Great burger and fries. The salad was excellent.

Delicious diner classics, friendly service, modern and bright atmosphere.

Very strong menu and the Chinese takeout should not be overlooked. They spice things up especially the chicken ball ginger beef sauces. They also travel and reheat well so leftovers are always great.

Best Chinese food in town

Highly recommend the Mozza burger! Lovely lil diner with a fresh and bright atmosphere. Accommodations for allergies were handled with professionalism and respect. Good espresso too!

I went there for my 15 birthday and I ate my favorite food and had a good beverage

Been going here for a long time, always enjoyed the food (still do);Although I have noticed their portion sizes have shrunk. Ordering a $16-17 burger and getting what seems like less then a small handful of fries is disappointing. Just visually when you see a plate come out with a burger and you see maybe 15 strings of fries just makes the plate look absolutely barren and you notice immediately how little you get. The staff and service is always great though.

Delicous place to grab breakfast

Great food and lots of it..

It was awesome the food was great and great service Keep up the great work

Excellent service and excellent food.

Great gluten free dining experience!! Amazing value for the price, portions were huge! We will be back! Dietary restrictions: Amazing gluten free selection

Great food, def a must try!

Absolutely great service restaurant is nice and clean bright menu has lots of variety and the food is top notch

Ive eaten from here twice now and been impressed both times. The menu has a wide variety of food and the portions are ample. The chicken balls were really, really good too. Service is also top notch. I will definitely be eating here again.

Ive visited several times over the lady few years, and have never had a single complaint. Recently, my daughter and I stopped in for brunch. We had a strawberry bubble waffle and am eggs Benedict. My daughter and I each ate half and took half home. Very delicious, very filling. We each ordered a specialty coffee, and were delighted with the results. Service was polite, efficient, and caring. Highly recommended!

Good food and portions great staff

Excellent food. I got the #1 combo but customized it to my liking. Their milkshakes are also to die for. Our server was also so kind and had great service.

We always stop here when we travel through Lloydminster. The best Chinese food I have ever had. My husband that grew up on Sunnys (the original owner of The Diner) food in Maidstone, says it was the best then and still is! The staff are amazing, as is the management. We couldnt think of a more deserving establishment to spend our hard earned money in. The staff have taken care of us in snow storms, and close to close, when we are coming in for a family medical emergency, always making sure we leave with bellies full of great fresh homemade food. Thank you for treating us like family, The Diner! We will see you again!

stopped by for lunch today and the burgers are legit, service was quick and friendly and a nice local place atmosphere. will be back for sure

Great service and food!

Clubhouse with fries was amazing

Great home made food bought 5 things and sells alcohol 1 drink 5 goodies and 96$ but all.in all delicious chase was our waiter 10/10 would reccomend

Our server, Gia, was absolutely hilarious! Top notch service. The eggs Benny was delicious too!

Friendly staff, great service/food, and the kitchen is fast.

Had lunch here on Dec 9, 2022 with some friends and it was a great time and the portions were huge and the restaurant was very clean and well maintained and their service was friendly and fast and the food was delicious and very well presented and I would definitely recommend this place for sure and the price was fair.

Loved this place. Food was great, service same. Unfortunately they knuckled under to feds on health BS. Stayed away for a year. Only recently went back. If mandates come back perhaps these folks will resist and not lose customers.

Nice quaint place. Compliments to the chef and the waitstaff were amazing!! Will definitely be making this a regular stop.

Good food, excellent service, nice, safe environment.

The food is amazing and huge helpings.

Food was great and clean and service was good

Went for lunch and the Chinese food was amazing! The restaurant was clean and the menu is simple with a variety of dishes available. Courteous wait staff. Waited a little long for food but it was well worth it. I am definitely going again to try other dishes.

This place is Stellar!!!! Ordered the big boy breakfast and was NOT disappointed. So much food and it was soooo good. The staff here are amazing. The atmosphere is great as well. Food was halfway done before I took the photos lol. No time for pics , when the foods that good

Great service and friendly staff however there was a long dark hair in our food. The chicken burger made my friend nauseous. The dip with the deep fried pickles smelt oddly sour.

The Staff (waiting staff/Chase and the girls); and the kitchen (Chefs) make the Diner what it is. I want to name yall but likely I would make a mistake or miss someone out. Yall are so amazing, and all though I dont order much more than The Diner Scrambler or the Mushroom Burger, the food is all amazing. A new menu .....come on in yall and check it out. Trust me, once in the door you will be back. The portions are more than I can normally eat; yet for the most part I usually clean up my plate....short of licking it clean. I give 5 stars because it is WELL DESERVED.

New and local, this cute little restaurant boasts a respectable menu, great coffee, and big portions. Located close to the new south-end arenas, this is the perfect place to grab a bite and enjoy the cozy atmosphere with its bright interior and friendly staff. Looking for an affordable breakfast? Check out the $6.99 Special. Something comforting? Consider the buttery-rich Eggs Benny.

delicious soup and very fast and friendly service

Love the food, atmosphere and service here! Super child friendly and they have a good mix of continental and Chinese dishes. We tried the lettuce boats and curry rice- both were good. Great big portions, wonderful value for money. Wish the sound absorption was better here thoigh, but overall a great restaurant.

The food was awful . White Rice hard as rock . Chow mein very buttery and greasy . Server didnt seem to interested we werent happy . Will never go there again. Dont recommend anyone to eat there.

Great coffee, fresh food, fantastic service!

They got my order wrong and so I called them. Spoke to a guy (assuming the supervisor) and he offered to deliver me my missing order free of charge. Fantastic Customer service right there!!

Excellent food. Great service. Took my whole family.

Fantastic food and even better service, our very attentive server Justina was super friendly, knowledgeable and made our experience absolutely perfect! I would strongly recommend a visit here.

Started with the parm fries which were HUGE. All the portions were, so go hungry! Our server Justina was fantastic. We are just visiting the town but may just go for breakfast before we leave!

The food is excellent. The staff is great. Highly recommend this location!

1000/10 on the quality of the service and the food. The staff is fantastic and cheery everytime I go!

We had a horrible experience when we ordered from the Diner through Skip a couple months back. All of our food was soggy and absolutely not fresh. We decided to give them a second chance and i regret it. Order was incorrect. All three of the burgers were overcooked to the point they were dry and hard. Called they offered to give me a credit or cook a new burger but i had already wasted enough of my time. Wouldnt want the credit because i will never return. Definitely dont recommend

Great food! Gluten free options available.

Clean, very friendly, good food

When in lloydminster this is the place to go and eat. The waiter ( Chase) is the best. The food is great. Try the pork chops. Best Ive had.

Very good food. Pleasant staff.

Food was great. Good portions. Charged me 75 cents for hot water and lemon though lol

Both orders of food were awful and overpriced. Burnt rice and dry bones instead of ribs and zero seasoning on literally anything. Very disappointed, wouldnt suggest this to anyone.

Surprisingly good Chinese food. Wouldnt have guessed!

Highly recommend this place! 5 star service! Had wonderful meals with great friendly service. Very impressed by the above and beyond help in regards to my sons anaphylactic food allergy to soy. Your server made certain his meals were absolutely safe on our travel to Lloydminister. Thank you for your understanding. As a mother who has already lost my only other son to a homicide I am truly greatful.

Gorgeous atmosphere and an amazing staff. Not even mentioning the spetactular food this is by far a 5 star establishment

I had the traditional eggs Benny. The hollandaise was the best I ever had. The portions are huge and the service was great! Definitely coming back here

I enjoyed the meal n service.
