The good the bad and the ugly .
First thought- I would eat here again. The food was like mom would make. No frills, nothing you are amazed at, but tasty and filling with good portions for your dollar. Coffee has free refills and is very good.
The staff is warm, attentive, and professional. We were greeted on walking in like you might be when coming home. Seat yourself with ample seats available.
The front greets veterans with a nice window mural which is nice for us vets. (Young people- serve your country- freedom isn’t free or a guarantee).
The inside is a trip back to 1964. The booths and seats are likely the originals with holes in many of the vinyl seats. The paint may have been redone in the 90s. Tears, chips, hand prints on the walls make it look dirty. The tables are clean and the utensils though very old and cheap are clean and sealed on the table.
Our waitress tells us the new owner has only had the place just over a year and they struggled due to road closures. I hope she rewards her employees with a living wage for their loyalty during hard times and puts some money into the decor as this place is likely to become more popular.
Come try this old gem in the rough. It won’t break the bank, you’ll leave full, and you’ll help support a non chain jewel.

The portions were massive, the service was warm and friendly. The waitress even gave us directions to the nearest grocery store. Really sweet little place, all I suggest is a little freshening up of the decor. Otherwise, it was a lovely experience dining here.

Another update on 2/23/2024. Had the sausage and cheese omelet with home fries. Great breakfast. Don't pass up the pancakes either. Good stuff at Amanda's diner!
Update on 12/1/2023. Still one of the best diners in Central Florida. Great breakfast and fantastic service! Love their breakfast skillets. Their pancakes are pretty good too!
Stopped in for breakfast and had the breakfast skillet with sausage and onions. Darn good skillet! Full of flavor. The cheese just made it that much better. Service is always good. The prices are good too!

Great place for a diner breakfast and a dose of southern hospitality.
The food is good, the staff are friendly, and the regular crowd makes the place feel like a family dining room.
Give your breakfast experience at least an hour and do not forget why the food is taking longer.
If you want homemade, you are going to have to wait a little longer. It is well worth it

Stopped by today and was surprised at the service, food and portions. This little diner is a great staple for this area and probably often overlooked. It’s under new management and they are doing a fantastic job with it. We will be back. The Fish is amazing!
