Met a friend for breakfast on Black Friday. The Diner was hoppin! Busy, but booths continued to open up. You can have as big a breakfast as you want/need with the standard breakfast fare or just a little. I ordered off the sides menu and had one pancake and 2 slices of bacon with a small orange juice. The pancake was good sized and was served with pats of butter and a small pitcher of maple syrup. Not sure why it was so good, may have been the butter. It was delicious and you can never go wrong with bacon. Our waitress was super - friendly with a great attitude and sense of humor. She was very attentive, bringing extra napkins and checking in. Martin Way Diner is a local staple serving up really good food with a smile. Give them a try!

This diner feels like a movie set. It's an experience. Wonderful atmosphere. I really enjoy their breakfasts and burgers. Every worker, from back of house to front of house, is skilled and down-to-earth. I have always appreciated The Martin Way diner because it feels like home. I dated one of their waitresses back in 2013 - 10/10 would recommend.

Martin diner offers a low key experience, while providing excellent food and service. Great place for a casual conversation and top notch diner food. The hashbrown are standard but the farm cut potatoes, O’Brian or standard are the best I’ve ever had. Crisp exterior, soft interior, not greasy, absolutely delicious. Splurged on the sirloin, and my companion the pork chops. Each with three eggs. A plate full of food. Ample serving size made for Breakfast in house, plus two more at home. The toast is good too. Coffee vastly better than most restaurants, and the bloody Mary’s are spectacular, nicely adorned but not outlandish. They don’t hold back on the vodka, so consume wisely. We had a designated driver. The service is special in that it is hometown friendly, comfy and with efficiency of well seasoned wait people. Outstanding! This place is popular so plan to spend some wait time. Well worth it.

Great menu, good cooks, great wait staff, and the atmosphere is veryenjoyable!! However, they need more options instead of Pork in so many items!!! Needs the WiFi restored though for public use!!!! Suggest a password for customers rather than a public access that they used to have!!! I have had a weekly breakfast meeting for several years now!

Great place for some cozy old school comfort food. Food is good and portioned well for the price. Staff are sometimes overwhelmed by volume of other orders but if you like these kind of spots your not in a big rush. It's a swell place for dates, groups, or just treating yourself. Highly recommend for a relaxed time to just enjoy food and I often end up chatting with people at tables nearby which gives it that wonderful human feel.

We ate breakfast I have the pancake combo and their pancakes are awesome just as good as original pancake House except Martin Way diner pancakes are bigger they serve it with hot maple syrup which is also great the bacon we're also really good and the coffee was very good I would recommend this place to family and friends and anybody looking to get a bite they are open breakfast lunch and dinner.

Love coming to this diner! The food is always great, the welcoming committee is as real as it gets, and the only place I know that serves oysters for breakfast and liver and onions for dinner. Both of which deserve compliments to the chef! Shawna was a blessing and can’t wait to eat here again 🙌🏽

Stopped for breakfast on a Saturday morning only waited about 5 to 10 minutes for a table. I loved all the old beer tap handles around the top of the wall. They had some cool signed guitars on the ceiling. The food was phenomenal. Biscuits for Biscuits and gravy were super good. Hash browns were nice and crispy. Eggs were really good. Sirloin steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great. They also have mimosas. Was decently priced which is great. Will deffinetly be back!
