Reviews For Scissortail Diner

Delicious. Good price. Large serving size. Wonderful service. When you think about a hidden gem diner with good, authentic home cooking, Scissortail Diner is what comes to mind. I would absolutely recommend this diner to anyone who wants good food, made by good people, right here close to home. *not pictured are the Pancakes or toast. I forgot they were coming since the plates are so large.

This place is great! You know it's good when you forget to take photos of your meal for a review. The biscuits are fluffy and well cooked, the gravy is smooth and flavorful. The homefries are seasoned deliciously, not just bland potatoes needing ketchup. The omelette had fresh ingredients and literally everything, including the coffee tasted fresh. The folks here are so nice. Definitely worth the trip over here! Photo, the first time we came, sent the pic to our dad to make him jealous.

Great little diner with delicious homestyle food for a good price. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Food came out quick and was nice and hot. It's getting harder to find cozy laid back mom and pop kinda restaurants anymore but this place hasn't commercialized and still treats you like real people. We'll definitely keep coming back.

Friendly staff, food is good, some of the side items are not as good as they could be, example pancakes and french toast are mediocre. Skillets are good, would actually give 4.5 for all, not a fancy place, but plenty of food, and diner quality with some stuff really outstanding and others good.

Fresh made breakfast! Prices are good, service was fast and a very big space so even when it seems full, you’ll probably be seated quickly. This is definitely my go to from now on. Next time I want to trade the entrees because they seem delicious!

Used to be Nina's Diner... made some changes looks great. They did a perfect job on my daughter's over medium eggs... Chicken Fried Chicken was good- didn't like the roll. But the place deserves a 5!
