Odessa Diner — Restaurant in Delaware

We love Mom and Pop places and the atmosphere reminded us of that. We had never been in before but due to the reviews decided to try it since we were in the area. We were greeted with friendly service right away. We asked our server Camiryn for suggestions and was assisted with that. My husband loves what he got, but the sauce on what I ordered personally to me was a little sweet. This was to no fault of the server or cooks, just my own taste buds. Camiryn asked how things were and upon telling her, she apologized for a bad recommendation which in turn we let her know that it wasn't a bad recommendation of one of her favorites, just different taste buds. She quickly assisted me with a new order, and even though I had more questions at no time did she make me feel like I was bothering her with my questions or that she was upset that I didn't eat her recommendation. I absolutely loved My second choice and my husband and both were happy with the food itself and we're definitely happy with our service that we received. Camiryn even reminded us not to forget to get our discount and make sure the bill was adjusted for what I didn't eat. We will be back. Thank you for a great meal and...

This is one of the best diners we have been to in a very long time ! Reminds me of when my grandparents would go to the old school diners when I was a kid . The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming . Definition of a mom and pop restaurant . They have the most upbeat , funny , sweet , and happy hostess / front of the house manager I’ve ever met ! I believe her name is corinne, she is British and just absolutely a amazing face to have as the first one you see when walking in . Very accommodating, funny and a very outgoing ! The service was just as great we had Paige ( who happens to be corinne’s daughter) and let’s just say the apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree at all ! She too was very friendly, made sure our drinks stayed full ,food came out fast and HOT!! Everything was cooked to perfection !
