The Scene – From the moose head in the back room to the waitresses who call you "honey," this is a classic American diner that provides good food prepared with care. – – The Food – Although the lunch menu serves up burgers, hot sandwiches and specials of the day, such as meat loaf, Brian's has gained a reputation as a breakfast place. While producing a passable eggs Benedict, Brian's excels at comfort food like creamy grits, fluffy omelets packed with cheese, ham and towering stacks of chocolate chip pancakes. If you're hankering for a Southern meal, try the warm…

Love it!

Their club sandwich is my favorite. Sometimes there may be a wait for service but once your order it taken it comes fast. The waitresses are friendly and recognize you if you have been there before. It has a great small town feel and great food!!! Cheap too!!!
- Pros: good food and service
- Cons: sometimes there is a wait due to low staff

Good food - terrible customer service
by drastic1
I have been eating at Brian's since 1994 - back in the day when there was a wonderful waitress named Nancy (who, unfortunately, has passed away). I stopped going there for a few years because the service was on the decline. In the past six months, I have gone back three times to see if things have improved any. Each time I've gone back, the food as been as good as I remembered - the food never disappoints - it is the best of diner style food. However, the service has gotten so bad that it completely overshadows the food. Today I went there for lunch, and I can, in all honesty, say that I do not believe I will ever darken the doorstep there again. I arrived about 12:30 and was surprised that the place was not packed - I was able to walk in and get a table without having to wait. Perhaps this should have been a clue. My drink and food order was quickly taken and served by a waitress who then just as quickly forgot that I existed. I did not get her name (they don't wear name tags and probably for good reason) but she has shoulder length bleached blonde curly hair (if you do go there - sit in the front area as that did not appear to be her section). I made the mistake of setting in the middle area - what could I have been thinking? Once my plate was in front of me, the waitress chose to ignore my existence. Had I known this was going to happen, I would have sipped my tea very slowly to make it last, as getting a refill was never to happen. After finishing my meal, I finally had to go up to the register without a check as she had not deemed to leave one at the table (that would have been an acknowledgment of my existence). Various people told me that would be with me in a minute - I failed to time how long I stood there waiting to pay my invisible check but it just added to all the frustration. Hopefully, the waitress will have as hard a time spending the invisible tip I left for her.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Very poor service
