Nate’s Diner

Excellent value for money and the food was delicious. Don’t expect gourmet food, just solid and tasty breakfast fare is what we got. I would definitely eat here again.

Not good and far from tasting like home cooking. French fries were undercooked, peas tasted like they were cooked in soap.
Grossly overpriced. $ 5.99 for a large order of fries, $ 2.79 for one pancake, 7.99 for fish and chips, $ 5.99 for a basic hamburger. Absolutely not with the price.
Being cash, otherwise they’ll use a tablet that is running off Internet from the building next door to enter all your credit card info by hand.

I have a standard thought about breakfast fare — that it’s pretty hard to screw up breakfast. Nate’s proved me wrong today. I had high hopes for this place based on other reviews, and because of the fact that it’s one of the very few places in Utah County open on Sundays for breakfast.
We were seated close to 10 minutes before a guy brought us waters. Didn’t ask if he could get us anything else, just plopped the waters down and took off before we could ask for coffee. It took about 10 more minutes before our waitress came and brought coffee and took our order. She was extremely nice and fairly competent, but was dressed in a tank top that looked one size too small and was spilling out of it and was also sporting some fine hickeys on her neck. I mean, come on – have some respect for yourself, sister.
Food came out around 40 minutes after we got there. I ordered biscuits and gravy and a side of bacon. The bacon was good. But the gravy was so salty it was bordering on inedible. The biscuits seemed fine, but it was hard to tell through the bad gravy. My wife had an egg, over easy, which was perfectly cooked, bacon and a pancake. The pancake was huge, and just average. Total bill was around $ 17.
Like I say, I really wanted to like this place. I can overlook the appearance of a place (and of the staff) so long as the food’s good. Sadly, I can’t say anything close to that about Nate’s. We won’t be back.

Shall I be scathing or shall I be professional… I’ll just be myself.
First off to the guy who rated this just on looks… get off Unilocal.Second your review actually is quite similar to the taste of the food… but GET OFF Unilocal.
When the best thing you eat makes you go, «well this isn’t too bad.» You may have a problem. The homestyle potatoes were the only like… adequate food I ate. I didn’t even have HIGH HOPES!!!
The biscuit and gravy had… how do you say this in english… NO FLAVOR! Some white cream on top of a medium dry biscuit. Oh no… please be a milk based cream.
The eggs didn’t taste real or maybe they were just overcooked. And I just got this weird feeling in my stomach as I ate them. Its that feeling you get right when you realize, what’s in the box in the movie SE7EN. (spoiler alert: gwyneth paltrow.
The potatoes were good and the bite of the pancakes I had was good nothing to write home about… because who uses letters anymore? But I think it might have been margarine not butter on the pancake… not sure. I’m pretty proficient at tasting the difference.
THE VERDICT: I think the waitress who lost her temper as we were there got it right when she said, «Nate doesn’t know what the F**K hes thinking.» (true story she apologize later for cursing, we liked her) Probably the only interesting part of our entire visit. And the way they take credit cards… on a tablet entering all your cards information. Come on guys its… 2015. Don’t waste your time/​money. Love alex.

I feel kind of bad leaving a two star review because to be 100% fair, I didn’t even try the food. The atmosphere just kind of turned me off to this place. It didn’t look clean, but it didn’t look «appealingly dive-​y» either… Idk. Just didn’t look like a place I wanted to eat. I should probably go back and try the food, but first impression says a lot. Especially with food.

The true diner experience — great food that is cooked (more like, fried) on a greasy skillet. The waitresses were friendly and quick, and the customers were the ‘regulars’ that come in for coffee and eggs. If you want a greasy, delicious, authentic diner experience, look no further! You can only pay cash, and don’t expect a fancy ambiance. But it was good!

I love the atmosphere here. You can just tell that the older men at who sit at the counter are regulars at Nate’s! And the mural is beautiful.
My friend and I came here and really liked it. Good food and service. (Thanks Brenda!) Everything is really affordable. Plus, there was no wait time.
I wanted to try a bunch of different things, so I ordered one pancake, one scrambled egg and a small biscuits and gravy.
Pancake: bigger than I thought it would be.
Egg: yum.
Biscuits and gravy: good, but heavy (as to be expected).
My friend got the chicken fried steak and like it! (On to is the same gravy that they put on the biscuits.)
I’m definitely coming here again!

The food was average but hot. Waitress was friendly. Very basic diner food. Not sure I would call it clean. Menus were old and sticky.

I drive by this small diner all the time, all I can say is I can’t believe I didn’t drop by this place sooner! This place is an old fashioned diner, but it’s squeaky clean with bright and open dining area, and super friendly service.
I ordered chicken fried streak and eggs, when the plate came, it was neat and tight not greasy at all. Their steak was topped with homemade sausage gravy, the hash browns was made with fresh potatoes, eggs were cooked just right, and the portion was perfect, all that for only $ 6.89!
If you ever crave diner food, but not the old beat down greasy atmosphere, Nate’s Diner is the place to go. They don’t accept credit cards or debit cards.

A good old fashioned diner, service and food just what you would expect. I had one of their standards, two eggs and a pancake for a ridiculously low price of $ 3.49… eggs were perfectly cooked and the pancake was huge and also perfectly cooked. Not too shabby…
Also had their standard oolong tea with a lemon and that was a treat. I’ll be a returning customer when I’m back in the area again.

Closet thing to the Double R Café in Provo. They don’t have milkshakes though…

Couldn’t disagree more with the other person who wrote the other review. Breakfast was great, the service was fine but it was the atmosphere I loved. I’d far rather give my cash to a place like this than any chain. If you don’t like going to an authentic place with regulars who always sit in the same seat, you won’t like it, I loved it.
