What Murray A likes about Paul's Diner:
I had breakfast at Paul's this morning. Michelle, the owner and operator, is a very pleasant person. The breakfast was delicious, especially the Dashwood sausage which is made just a mile down the road at Zehr's meat market. The service was excellent, and the restaurant was very clean and welcoming.

We always noticed how busy the parking lot was so we tried Paul's for breakfast. It was excellent, lots of food, great service.

Venturing into Paul's Diner, customers have experienced mixed encounters. While one felt mistreated by the staff and owner, another praised the welcoming ambiance and delicious breakfast. The Irish breakfast was highlighted for its uniqueness and generous portions, attracting repeat visitors. The clean, well-organized establishment with friendly staff and large portions left positive impressions on many customers. Quiche and butter tarts were mentioned as particularly tasty lunch options, served with bottomless coffee. Overall, Paul's Diner offers a variety of home-cooked meals at a great value, making it a worthwhile stop for a fulfilling meal in a rural setting.
