A workout buddy of mine along with her co-worker agreed to visit The Diner in Sauget for breakfast this morning after an exhausting workout. I already knew they were in for a treat since I've visited the establishment on several occasions bringing others to enjoy delicious, wholesome, plentiful food. Upon our arrival we were allowed to seat ourselves. The atmosphere was chill and friendly. The service is impeccable. The food presentation looked liked the way it tasted, DELICIOUS!! I've never had a bad meal (breakfast & lunch) from this place. The prices are reasonable especially for the amount of food you receive.

The Diner is definitely one of my "go tos" and I'm sure my buddy and her co-worker will return and tell others about their delicious encounter...

But they didn't even let me pay for my order so they could make it. Last time I showed up 5 mins to close they said i had to have Called it in...
