Ok Diner - South Kesteven

My wife, son, and I visited this restaurant on Saturday, December 16th for breakfast. It was a great experience from the moment we arrived. We were promptly welcomed and escorted to our table. Once seated, we were asked if we knew what we wanted to drink or if we needed more time, which we appreciated as we like to get our drinks quickly. My wife is a fan of unique teas and asked about their selection. Jez, our server, quickly brought out a variety of funky teas that impressed my wife. The breakfasts we ordered were served promptly and were delicious, leaving us with full bellies and a great start to the day. The service at this small diner was exceptional, as it's rare to find a place where you can relax and have a friendly interaction with the staff. Jez was a delight, full of energy and clearly passionate about his work. We look forward to coming back soon.

I had the tuna melt which consists of 3 slices of grannery toast, ok, layered with lettuce tomato, a greasy onion ring, the miniscule of tuna cheese, scrappy fries, gone down hill, oh the coffee was small Luke warm.

We always come to this restaurant for a special treat and never leave disappointed. Our family loves the milkshakes and the food is consistently delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is lovely.

I not sure how a roadside Cafe would ever qualify as ‘excellent’ but I thoroughly enjoyed my second visit to this branch, travelling home from family in Lincoln to the south coast and don’t recognise it as the same branch described in some of the previous reviews. Some comments could be directed at the OK Diner northbound, but definitely not this one. We were greeted promptly and professionally, sat at a nice clean table and our server came within a couple of minutes for a drinks order whilst allowing us more time to select our breakfasts. The service throughout was attentive and friendly, whilst a good rapport was enjoyed. The food was good and the coffee, a black Americano, was excellent. In fact I had occasion to tell the manager just how good I thought it was and compared it with the not very good offering at the nearby northbound Diner which is really silly given they presumably have exactly the same beans and machine. I maintain perhaps the barista looks after their coffee machine better and with good training! My visit to the toilet was again nothing like some of those described in earlier reviews, clean, fresh and pleasant to use. There was, to me, clear evidence of active management, motivated staff and a good atmosphere in a restaurant that was more than half full at 11.00. It’s a shame it’s situated within the first 40 miles of a 250 mile journey but my wife and I will definitely visit again

A member of the waitstaff, distinguished by their black shirt instead of the red uniform, was seen chewing gum with their mouth open. It did not leave a good impression.
