Ok Diner - South Kesteven

We are going back in the rutland ok diner both on the way to north and on the way, as we always get a great service, but we were very hungry, so decided to stop at this diner instead. there were tables occupied so we thought we were served quickly, so again on the road. we had hours. we sat immediately and gave menus, then the waitress disappeared. no one came to take our orders for minutes! the personal seemed to chat and be assaulted. the manager came and took our orders. our drinks did not arrive for a few minutes to what time our food arrived! we were diner for minutes in everything that is ridiculous in view of the number of customers! we are going to rutland.

Stop while you are travelling south. burgers round. delicious fresh, hot and fast served. the salat was beautiful. enjoyed the celestial ripe milkshake. we were too full to try a desert. service was good. cafe and toilets were clean. it cost.

I had the tuna melt which consists of 3 slices of grannery toast, ok, layered with lettuce tomato, a greasy onion ring, the miniscule of tuna cheese, scrappy fries, gone down hill, oh the coffee was small Luke warm.

We always come to this restaurant for a special treat and never leave disappointed. Our family loves the milkshakes and the food is consistently delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is lovely.

I not sure how a roadside Cafe would ever qualify as ‘excellent’ but I thoroughly enjoyed my second visit to this branch, travelling home from family in Lincoln to the south coast and don’t recognise it as the same branch described in some of the previous reviews. Some comments could be directed at the OK Diner northbound, but definitely not this one. We were greeted promptly and professionally, sat at a nice clean table and our server came within a couple of minutes for a drinks order whilst allowing us more time to select our breakfasts. The service throughout was attentive and friendly, whilst a good rapport was enjoyed. The food was good and the coffee, a black Americano, was excellent. In fact I had occasion to tell the manager just how good I thought it was and compared it with the not very good offering at the nearby northbound Diner which is really silly given they presumably have exactly the same beans and machine. I maintain perhaps the barista looks after their coffee machine better and with good training! My visit to the toilet was again nothing like some of those described in earlier reviews, clean, fresh and pleasant to use. There was, to me, clear evidence of active management, motivated staff and a good atmosphere in a restaurant that was more than half full at 11.00. It’s a shame it’s situated within the first 40 miles of a 250 mile journey but my wife and I will definitely visit again
