Mayberry Diner

Really cute diner with an authentic feel. We took dinner sitting at the counter. We ordered the Elvis Burger, the Ray Charles Burger, and fried jalapeños for an appetizer. The waffle fries were AMAZING! We had a warm brownie with pecan praline ice cream on top. Overall, food was excellent. Menu prices ranged from $15 - $45, depending on what you order. They even offer steak here! Burgers are $16-$19 with a side. But, people, let me tell you…the quality of the beef in the burgers we had was top notch. I am very particular about beef quality. Let’s get to service…EXCELLENT ! We had a couple of really sweet girls(seemed like they were likely high school age) taking care of us. They kept our glasses full, checked on us frequently, and made great menu recommendations. I will definitely be back! Next time, I’m going to try out breakfast (which they serve all day)!

Went here for the first time. Cute diner with comfort food. Had a crispy chicken salad and omelette (breakfast is served all day, which is great since I love breakfast). Husband had the crispy jalapeños and burger. For dessert we had their Oreo cinnamon roll (not sure if it is a special) and it was small bit really good. Definitely homemade.

Stopped here for a few nights while on a work trip, and I had a great time. The food was delicious, the servers polite and friendly, and the establishment clean. Over my stay, I got the: - Elvis Burger - Chicken Fried Steak - Meat Lover's Omelette - Club Sandwich (don't remember what it was called) - Onion rings -Dark Cherry Milkshake I think the burger was definitely the best thing on the menu, which took me by surprise. Diner burgers aren't always the best, but the Elvis really knocked my socks off. That isn't to say that the other things I chose to eat weren't also delicious, but if you're stopping by here wondering what to get, I'd seriously recommend trying the burgers. Our main server was a woman named Cashley, and she was very polite and professional. When we interacted with other staff, they were likewise friendly. You can tell that it's a small crew that keeps this place running, and they run a tight ship. The diner always seemed clean - no weird messes, sticky seats and/or tables, etc. A few things I think could be worked on, however, which stop this from being a 5 star across the board, are service and atmosphere. As I said before, the staff are wonderful, but before you come here, just know that (at least around dinner time) it becomes a little lethargic. It's not the end of the world, and it doesn't feel like the staff forgot you existed, but I assume that they get busy and thus it's good to know that you'll be caught off guard if you're from the city and are used to speedy service. Another thing is atmosphere. The decor is amazing, really capturing the retro feel of the diner, but during my 4 or so visits to this place in the evening, I didn't hear any music at all. There's a jukebox by the front door that is either there for decoration or is our of order (I forgot to ask), but it does take some getting used to being in a diner with nothing playing, especially if you're one of the few people in the diner. It's something that I hope is considered, as even something quiet and in the background would help take some of the edge off. Overall, Mayberry Diner was an absolute Godsend of a restaurant. Staying in a crummy motel, working 12 hour days outside, 9 hours away from home... Having a consistently delicious hot meal at the end of every day made my week a whole lot more manageable. If you're staying in Hamlin, or just passing through, I recommend you stop by this place and enjoy some delicious diner food before going on your way again. I hope I get to visit again in the future!

Good but not great food. I had the Ray Charles burger, which was a patty melt, and onion rings. Service was fast and friendly.

We just moved to the area and this is our go to Sunday brunch for breakfast and Hamburger night Grill. Nothing else like it plus the food is great! So awesome to have a unique restaurant in a small town.

I LOVE the authentic old timey diner feel of this place. The booths look like beautifully restored classic car seats and the attention to detail in the entire place is amazing. The food was great!

This was by far the one of the best little diners I have been too. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the very nice wait staff. The food was absolutely great! One of the best tasting bacon burgers I have had in a very long time!
