Eaton Place Restaurant

"Stopped for lunch at Eaton Place restaurant while I was in Eaton, and wow--what a nostalgic experience! Walking in felt like stepping back in time, with warm, wood-paneled walls, a counter bar, and the friendliest waitstaff who have clearly been there for years. I had the Philly cheesesteak with sea salt fries--absolutely amazing! While sitting at the counter, I chatted with a lady who comes here weekly for the Sunrise Special. It looked incredible: a big breakfast casserole topped with a cheese omelet, crispy hashbrowns, homemade sausage gravy, cheddar cheese, and served with toast. She got a half-order, and it was still huge--enough to take some home! Pro tip: she says to get the hashbrowns extra toasty. If you're ever in the area, Eaton Place is a must-visit.

We love this little restaurant! Hubby and I usually get pork and dressing with a vegetable and coleslaw and it's always delicious. We usually order homemade pie to go. The breakfasts are wonderful. It's a small place that's a bit shabby but who cares? The only thing bad about it is that they close at 2:30 so go early.

The name of this small town diner is "The Eaton Place" (get it?) and I'm definitely a fan. It's bright, bustling and loud and the food is comfy and delicious. Breakfast all day, plus steaks, fish, burgers and daily specials that usually jnclude things like meatloaf, porkchops, turkey. Two soups of the day plus a couple menu standards. The soups are usually a very good choice. And oh those pancakes. At least a half dozen fresh baked pie options every day too. The staff work like crazy, no one is idle at any time, and they are somehow all cheerful and smiling. Early risers will be in heaven since they open at 6 AM. The earliest I've ever been was 7:45 and by the time I finished eating I could see the crowd starting to build. It is always packed and super busy, and unless you want the counter be prepared to wait rather uncomfortably for a table. Personally I like the counter. The restaurant holds a lot of customers, so you should also be prepared for a possible extensive wait for your food. I've glimpsed the kitchen and they are also working at breakneck pace in there. It's just there are so many mouths to feed, and there's no similar non-chain "eating place" for 20 miles around. If you show up after noon, keeping in mind they close at 2 PM, they may have run out of any given pie, soup, or special. That's the tradeoff when everything is fresh made in the morning. Set your alarm and give them a try for great home cooking and bottomless coffee.

Great authentic food, excellent & attentive friendly service, fair prices, nice atmosphere!

I stopped in here with my BFF on the way to Indy. We both got the sunrise special and I was super yummy. The coffee was drinkable, not bad, not amazing but good. The service was spot an and very helpful. The bathroom was clean. I also got a slice of rhubarb pie to go. Best rhubarb I have had in years. I would come back here just for the pie alone. I will be back, heck I would go out of my way to come here again. Great food and great service.

First visit to this very solid diner. We had a short wait that served as evidence that this was a good choice. We both enjoyed selections from the breakfast menu that were delivered hot and well prepared. Staff was friendly and attentive and even offered mini marshmallows when I declined whipped cream for my hot chocolate. (Yes, I am still a kid at heart!) If we lived closer, we would be regulars here!

Came here today for the second time and I got served cold biscuit and gravy, it wasn't even warm, it felt warm to the touch but the meat inside it was freezing cold. I didn't know if our plates sat a while or what. But this experience was not worth it this time. Hopefully next time we get hot food. I don't come out but maybe once, twice a week. So when I get an experience like this it makes me just want to cook my own food. Disgusting.

Food is AMAZING!!! Service was outstanding!!! It felt very homey!!! If you're traveling through Eaton,Ohio it's a must!!

The Eaton place is a great hometown place to eat.Their bisits and sausage gravy is really good that's made fresh daily.The service is good and you don't have to ask for more coffee.I believe in speaking plainly.Good honest food made and served by good honest people.I look forward to eating here when I'm back in the PC.

I would say this restaurant isn't a very LGBTQ+ friendly space. I'm a trans woman and the server barely acknowledged me, didn't try to make a bit of small talk like I see them doing with other customers, and even misgendered me to other staff. I didn't feel like I was welcome there which is a shame because the food is very good.
