Goodtimes - Decatur City

One star is probably too generous. The diner was so humid that the windows all had condensation on the inside. The smell of food due to no ventilation may never leave us and the food was subpar, and it took a really long time to get our food. The sausage was burnt and my omelette had runny white uncooked egg. I am baffled that this place has a 4 star rating.

This is a great place for breakfast or lunch. I had lunch on a Friday when the specials were deep fried chicken strips or deep fried cod. Since I didn't choose the chicken. I was served two beautiful pieces that were very delicious. The meal comes with a selection of THREE pages. I chose potato salad, green beans and cherry cheesecake. The pages were excellent. This place is popular with locals and it seems they all know each other. Doesn't look so much outside, but not past this place.

Drove the Jefferson highway from Bethany North to Iowa. I thought I'd go to Leon, ia, when I came across the Dinky Diner. I love old restaurants and this is a treasure. I hate that I didn't know this was only I-35 and was driven for years. Owner and waitress were super friendly and tenderloin wa. The best I can remember. It was my birthday, and it just made me! Let this explosion back from the past. I will regularly take friends and family. the ride of Des Moines or everywhere worth it!

People who give this little diner 1 or 2 stars check it as it is some Michelin tested restaurant. It's a diner. It's small town. It is a good comfort food, made from scratch. They don't make them like that anymore. Her grandmother cooking without ruffles and friendly hometown “Kozy” food. You miss if you don't try it. Love it. Dinky Diner is small town comfort food in its rare best. Eat cake.

Sad to say, because I love little one of a kind diners, but I would skip this one folks! The name is very appropriate as it is tiny as they get. The service is prompt and friendly but that's about it for the pluses. The whole place is in a stare of disrepair. Rusty fixtures and broken booths, condensation on the windows from lack of ventilation or insulation. Ordered coffee which was only .75 but they only have powdered creamer. Butter spread, not butter in the heartland, really? My sisters French toast was soggy and bacon limp. My hash browns were certainly not brown or even edible. Surprised that this place has good reviews. We stopped because of cute name and good reviews but hurried out as quickly as possible. If you are in the mood for mediocre food and an adventure that's what you will get here.
