Market Diner Restaurant — Restaurant in Thomasville

I had high hopes when I saw it was right in the farmers' market, but overall it was pretty average. We paid at the entrance, but nobody explained where to get anything, or even sat us at a table.

We eventually picked a table, wandered around uncertainly after serving ourselves, and flagged down an employee who said a server should have brought drinks and silverware.

The food was not bad, but not great. The veggies were largely pretty tasty, the proteins tended to be dry and overcooked. The general air was weirdly hushed, with no music and little bustle from diners. The waitress did keep our tea topped off after she realized we were there.

Over all, we were glad to eat there when many restaurants were closed for the 4th, but I wouldn't go back if there was any good...

My husband & I are from FL & always schedule our time to stop here while on the way north. We enjoy stopping in Fri &/or Sat for seafood night. Multitudes of fish, hush puppies, frog legs, oyster stew (must ask waitress for it & the cook makes it just for you!) & oodles of veggies from collard & turnip greens, yellow squash, green beans, lima beans, rutabaga, real mashed potatoes, cheese grits & much more! For dessert, there are usually 3 to choose from & old-fashioned, Southern-style banana pudding with meringue topping is always 1 of the 3 - sometimes they run out, so be sure to get it when you go thru the buffet line for your lunch or dinner! Enjoy...

Not bad, not great. Tried the newly revamped market diner for first time this past week. I like how they redid the middle area with the Shiba say. Much easier to get around without the seating tables there and they had some good items including Greek salad and various greens/veggies. That said, we got there close to closing so probably didn’t help, but the baked chicken tasted day-old. Also the banana pudding was way too sweet/fake tasting. Not my favorite atmosphere inside but they’ve done a nice job keeping it clean and re-organizing the tables and seating layout from the previous restaurant version, so that’s good. Servers were very nice...
