There food is awesome. Just make sure there going to be open and that it's the colonel cooking your food. All in all its my go to greasy spoon breakfast joint.
I saw this spot a few weeks ago when I was on a Pho quest. Situated in the same strip mall, as the restaurant where we ate, I remembered a friend telling me this place was like the old-time diner with a funky vibe thanks to the Colonel. Lots of “stuff” on the walls, mismatched everything, Formica table tops, those wonderful chrome stools and checkered floor, and a mix of clients. How right he was. I felt transported back to my childhood.
Tucked away in an a strip-mall in Mayport, this place is awesome! Their food is fresh and milkshakes are the best. They've got a club sandwich that my wife said was perfect. Burgers are great too since this is the original Col. Mustard. Great place to get some food to take to the beach.
A Stand Up Triple. I am so glad we finally stopped in for lunch on Saturday. Our server was very friendly and she always kept our glasses full which I think is essential for a good dining experience. Our food was delivered promptly and it was hot and fresh. I ("princess") had the cheesesteak special which included fries and a drink. My sandwich was a good size and filled with lots of meat and melted cheese. My husband had a cheeseburger with American, Cheddar and Swiss on a soft Kaiser roll and thought it was one of the best burgers he has eaten lately--he is somewhat of a self appointed burger connoisseur. Our fries were pretty good, but I would have liked for the ketchup to have been a little thicker since it was somewhat runny and wouldn't stick to the fries. The owner checked on us and made sure we had a great meal and encouraged us to return which we will.
Home Run!. We stopped for a late lunch with the family after a morning at the beach. Everyone found something that they really wanted (someone nearly always wants something that isn't on the menu...it's a kid/autonomy thing) and everyone enjoyed what they got. Portions were large & the price was very reasonable. Good service, good food and a good price add up to a great experience. We will certainly return.
Great food the best service I try to go everyday.but should be every meal. Great price for.even better food a must stop shop
Best breakfast in town. The prices are great and the amount of food you get is incredible. The Col. will make you visit memberable
It Was More Than Just Breakfast... The Colonel is a hoot! Our breakfast was Awesome! I had the Home Plate special and ate almost all of it, and "Princess" doesn't usually eat much. Hubby had the Corned Beef Hash with the prettiest poached eggs we have ever seen. The hash was delicious too! The experience put us in a good way for the rest of the day. We can't wait to go back.
The Col. was mean to me. I liked it.
Great Diner. Now I have been here a few times before. It's fun and the food is pretty good. "The Colonel" is quite the unique fellow but he wasn't there. Bummer He had one of his daughters there holding down the fort. I have eaten a few burgers here from the Reuben Gomez to the Wally Johnson is a burger with breakfast on top. On this trip I had a Reuben and it was pretty darn good I just miss the Col. speedy wit. So next time I hope he's in and I hope his son's baseball team did win in Tampa
Great food with a “made by Dad” touch to it. Don’t get offended by the staff. If they pick on you it means they like you. It’s all in good fun. The atmosphere is nostalgia and some sarcasm. It’s a fun experience. I can’t wait to come back and try the burger. Looks exactly like what my dad uses to make for me.
Don’t believe the 1 star reviews from people that have never been here or have zero sense of humor.
Huge shout-out and thank you to the Colonel from Dano's Diner for going way above and beyond last week! I've been wanting to try something from their burger lunch menu after our first visit there for breakfast a few weeks back. I ordered through GrubHub and waited the 30-45 minutes anticipated delivery time. After 45 minutes, I got a call from GrubHub support that my order was cancelled and refunded because someone stole my order. Although disappointed, I went on with my day and would try again another time. A few minutes later, I got a call from Dano's. It was the Colonel calling to apologize for the situation, remade my burger and delivered it to my house himself! Thank you again for great customer service and taking care of your customers! By the way, the Pete Rose Burger was amazing.
My families in town so we wanted the closest breakfast place in town and we loved it! As soon as we came in there was great oldies music and we were warmly greeted and the atmosphere was great! It's a very family friendly diner and great prices. We will definitely be coming back!
Danos is your all American diner with delicious burgers and great vibes. If you're in the mayport area I would highly recommend this place for breakfast or lunch!
Sarah our server was amazing, fast, and attentive. The food was hot and better than waffle house. Prices are more than fair and the atmosphere had an ol time feel, like a diner should have.
We loved it. Went there with my wife today for the first time. The only negative thing was the waitress she forgot what I ordered and didn't come back to the table once after she brought the food. That was no big deal though because Dano took good care of us and couldn't have asked for any better service. The food was awesome and we will definitely be back. Recommend it to all!
Loved the diner set up, the owner was so awesome and fun to listen to and talk with! He was cracking jokes, had us all laughing 🤣 a great and fun atmosphere with awesome delicious food!! Huge portions too!! All in all we had a great experience and plan to make this spot a favorite to go to!!
Phenomenal Burger options Named for many MLB's Greats... Breakfast and Lunch options are great and delicious, quality product... Very Diner style and fun times with the chatter with staff and customers... Feel just like home...
We had breakfast here yesterday, ate at the bar & I have to say the food was outstanding! Nice vibe to it, very classic! I didn’t catch our servers name, but she was phenomenal!
Excellent food, friendly people, relaxed atmosphere. Absolutely great spot. I ain't here at least once every week or two.
