John Dutcher is the owner, and he comes out to greet tables. Veterans, ask about the military discount.

I have eaten here 2 times now, and both times have been great. The service and atmosphere are great. The food is delicious. The first time I ate there, I had their country fried steak. My favorite part is their homemade biscuits. You will find them so fluffy and buttery. I definitely recommend eating at Dutcher's Diner.

The owner is a hoot and came out to greet us and get a picture with all of us (motorcycle rider group). The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant itself is a little older, but the food is all top knotch and reasonably priced. If you are a veteran, be sure to ask for the military discount. We will definitely be going back.

Unfortunately, as we were mounting our motorcycles to head off on the second half of our 220 mile ride I experienced a bike issue. The owner, John Dutcher, without reentering the diner, John was out in the parking lot eager to assist. John made a call and had a local mechanic on the spot in minutes and…

I had the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich, it was in the top 2 of Philly Cheese Steaks that I've had since moving to Florida. The staff was pleasant and attentive. And I found the prices to be quite reasonable.
