I love diners, especially neighborhood, mom and pop, so this is a solid place for a home-style breakfast. No fuss, nothing too fancy. It was pretty busy but the wait wasn’t too crazy. The menu has a lot of options. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for something casual and I’ll probably be returning to try other dishes. I ordered the waffle combo with eggs, bacon and hash browns.

Had breakfast here on Jan 30. Everything delicious, even the Corned Beef Hash that was slightly over cooked. Nice atmosphere and service.

What a delightful surprise to find this little dinner tucked away in Ocoee.
The hamburger & tator tots I had were cooked perfectly. My friends had breakfast, it too looked delicious
Ross, our server was a gem. The other servers there jumped in to make sure everything was served fresh & hot
It is great to see a team take pride, serve w joy & to be working
I will definitely go back to experience other meals on the menu

****Please Please read this review****
I was interested in trying this diner for a while now being a small mom and pop restaurant. I love to support the local family owned businesses.
There were several issues with my visit to Carlos Diner, however the most important one is below.
The kitchen is right in front of the bar so it’s open and visible to most of the customers. It would only make sense to have a clean and sanitary environment…I’ve never in my life seen the things I saw the other day.
The woman who controls the food as it goes out does not wear gloves, in fact I only saw 1 person wearing gloves but it wouldn’t have mattered.
The woman with the ponytail who was in charge of getting the food out was literally rubbing her nose, face, ears and mouth while touching EVERYTHING. I watched this person grab white bread over her head just after rubbing her nose with her fingers. I watched people eating in the kitchen while cooking. I saw kitchen staff tossing food onto plates to complete orders touching meats, etc with bare hands. I’m sure most restaurants have sanitary issues but I’m not used to seeing it so openly. I watched the other cook with the Nickelodeon shirt touching his hair and clothing while cooking with guess what no gloves.
I thankfully ordered items that were not touched and had to be plated with utensils. The food was mediocre at best and I would have killed for a McDonald’s breakfast, in fact after I left I went and stopped by to eat something else for breakfast at a different restaurant. The quality of the food was incredibly low. I could see generic store bought pancake mix on a back shelf. How do you advertise yourself has a homemade family restaurant but cannot make your own pancake mix. The sausage gravy cannot be homemade, there is no way possible. If it is homemade then I guess I’m a better cook than I thought I was.
Im sure most of the Loyal customers are happy with the food and I’m happy for them. I on the other hand like seasoning and cleanliness, so I will not be returning unless the world is ending and even then I’m good.
Ohh and Please clean your coffee cups. The table next to me actually noticed pink lipstick on their cup but did not say anything.
