Griff’s Diner

Love little hometown diners! We went about 5 minutes out of our way to stop for breakfast because of the high reviews. They did not disappoint! The inside is cozy with about 8 tables with 4-5 seats. The black and white checked tablecloths remind me of grandmas kitchen table where you took your time to enjoy her homemade cooking.

Everything is cooked fresh and served pretty quick. When we arrived at 7am, the day after Christmas, there was already a group of locals hanging out and another group of workers came in before their day started to eat breakfast together. I love the community feel, like Cheers...everybody knows your name.

This small, local eatery is the place you go if you want good, home cooking. I imagine this will become a popular spot for locals and college kids alike when they miss their mom's home made meals.
Griff's is open for breakfast and dinner. They feature a full, regular menu as well as nightly specials. We came on a Thursday night to try their Bierocks.
The Bierocks were a twist on the traditional dish with both green and red cabbage, thin carrot slices and two kinds of cheese included with the ground beef. The bread to stuffing ratio was perfect (see pics).
Having a child who is a picky eater was no problem for the staff of Griff's. Using the ingredients they had on hand, they were able to create a non menu dish just for his enjoyment. HUGE shout out to the Griff's staff for this! This is the kind of exemplary service you can only find at a small city diner where they really care about their customers!
From all the various dishes we tried tonight, the stand out dish was above and beyond the CHEESY POTATOES. Every person at my table who tried it only had good things to say about it. The cheesy potatoes were the hit of this culinary adventure!
Make the trip out to Griff's for delicious, home made food. I want to come back sometime to try all their other nightly specials.

She was by herself this morning, so service wasn't fast, but she did a great job taking care of everyone. Food was great and my coffee cup never got close to empty.
