“Just walked in!”
Review of The Stilly Diner

Reviewed 4 August 2016

3 P M and hungry, pulled into curb right in front and walked in.
First impression was that this is a "Mom&Pop" catering to the geezer group; but
seating ourselves we watched folks come in that appeared to be well known to the staff; locals and mostly elders. That being said:

The menus are all about breakfasts and lunches. The restaurant closes at 4:00 P M.
Soup of the day was roasted Pepper and Tomato. I ordered a traditional comfort meal: Cup of soup of the day and a grilled cheese on sourdough sandwich.
The soup had the thick consistency of being freshly constituted, topped by a grated
white cheese, tasted delicious. The Grilled cheese appeared golden brown and leaking cheese around the edges: Fantastic.

The other order was half a ham & Cheese on wheat and a cup of fresh fruit.
The sandwich was stout with American cheese and ham, lettuce and mayonaise.
A fairly substantial slice of fresh medium tomato topped it off.
The fruit cup contained fresh fruit. Both items were very good.

The service was friendly and a smiling waitress checked on our drinks and if all was as we would have liked.

The restaurant has clean restrooms. There are two rooms for dining; one with the traditional cafe bar with stools, and booths while the other room was what looked
like a more recently upgraded decor with larger booths.

If other commenter's evaluations are consistent with ours, then this is a very well recommended feel-good traditional restaurant with reliably consistent quality of
food presentation. We recommend this restaurant as better than just average.

Went to the Stilly Diner for breakfast today. My husband and I were both intrigued by the pancakes that came with orange butter if you wanted it. I ordered a banana pancake and he ordered blueberry pancakes. The pancakes were enormous. Thank goodness I only ordered one. It was very delicious it wasn't heavy it was a nice light pancake.

We are so glad to frequent this restaurant in our town again. We come here after church on Sundays and there is always a full house...
