Tipton’s Cafe

A true classic. This place is a slice of Americana. It’s your staple «greasy spoon» comfort food but it’s been there forever and it speaks of life. A must if your in the G Vegas area.

It’s a very small, family run diner that has breakfast, burgers and Pepsi in a can! We weren’t sure about staying when we first walked in, but everyone was super friendly and the food turned out to be pretty good! It’s cheap and we wanted to try something «off the path», so to speak, so we checked Unilocal and found this diner. Don’t expect anything fancy, but the biscuits and gravy were pretty good too!!!

Excellent traditional, southern, breakfast. I got the two egg special. Breakfast was delivered fast. It was hot and fresh. I’ll be full for about a week.
It is an old diner so expect nothing less than authenticity. All for $ 5! Enjoy.

I’m from the big city and ppl wouldn’t believe that places like this exist if they didn’t see for themselves. At first it’s creepy to me how friendly ppl are here until you realize that the locals are just born nice! Politeness is part of their lives.
Also good simple food. Absolutely the best biscuits and gravy ever! Small trays out of the oven pass by you at the counter, impossible to say no. Everything we had was tasty and priced like the 1970’s.

Must go. Absolutely brilliant cheeseburger. Very cute small place. The girls that work here are delightful. We are very glad we stopped by

Great atmosphere. A throwback to diners. The place is small but excellent in every way. Service is exceptional, friendly and fast.
Ive only eaten there for breakfast. The combo/​special will fill you up for less money than you expect. Worth every cent plus more.
Biscuits and gravy done right. Try them youll love it.

Nov 2014: This place is AMAZING! We walked in and they were cooking up fresh bacon that made the entire establishment and even the street leading up to it smell delish! We had two meals, extra bacon, and coffee for only $ 12. The service and the food were amazing. We will definitely be coming back every time we visit TN!

Creating an atmosphere all it’s own, Tipton’s Café is must stop for locals and those traveling through. I’d stumbled upon on this gem via Siri and Unilocal while in town visiting family. Inside you’ll find excellent heart warming food and great personalities to match. Meeting a friend here for breakfast was one of the highlights of the day!
Do beware the two hour parking on the street, … seems it’s watched closely on weekdays.
Can’t wait to return and bring more friends and family!

Unilocal delivered again. A true throwback diner experience from Norman Rockwell small town USA. We stopped in and 4 of us ate breakfast, with drinks for, I shit you not, $ 19.50. Good, homemade diner food. They have daily lunch specials. Friday is Soup Beans and cornbread, beef stew on Thursdays usually, and for real Grandma’s cobblers. I think I heard chili on Mondays. This family owned/​operated place has been in business for 48 years. The two unassuming and attentive staff working were the owner’s son and the cobbler Grandma’s granddaughter. I didn’t pry about their relative places on the family tree, but they were super nice and genuinely glad we enjoyed the food. I think a burger is $ 3. I’ll definitely come back here and recommend it highly. I’m willing to wager you couldn’t keep a coffee cup empty for more than one minute.

Ordered some biscuits and eggs, everything was pretty bland. The restaurant was pretty awkward to be in. (Very tight knit.) At least they had CMT on playing some garbage Blake Shelton music videos.

Great simple, hometown cooking! I love the look as it’s just a classic old diner. The service is always great and the food is always delicious!

This place is a small diner in downtown Greeneville. It is only open for breakfast and lunch. Get there early for lunch or you won’t get a seat. They have down south home style cooking. I got the biscuits and gravy and they were delish! The food was out in less than 5 minutes and the service was good.

I was lured in from the street by the smell of bacon. The food was great and the people were very friendly. Sitting on a stool at the counter and watching your food being cooked… old school done right.

The BEST biscuits & gravy EVER! I only wish they weren’t so far away… god I love them…
