Amherst Diner is a favorite for the locals. Service is always quick and friendly. We usually go here for breakfast, they have a large selection for breakfast and it's always good. You will not leave here hungry, they have very generous portion sizes. Don't expect anything fancy, but that's part of what's great about this diner. The staff gets to know you, and treats you like one of their own. The daily specials are always a nice addition to the standard menu.

I've been eating here for years, growing up in the area. Back in the day it was previously Farmer Boy Restaurant. Close to Jamie's Flea Market and the Amherst Turnpike Exchange. Recently went for breakfast and lunch on separate occasions. The prices are decent for what you get, specials daily and a $9.99 lunch menu. The patty melts my mom and I ordered for lunch were delicious. The breakfast I ordered the next time was so-so, my party of five's breakfasts were ate without complaint. The coffee here is really strong, if that's your thing. Many of the servers have worked there a long time and have a loyal following of customers. The building itself and parking lot are to be desired here tho. The chairs and tables are really in need of not just repair, but to be replaced! Some of the reasons for only giving three stars, wish I could've given them a better rating. I'll be going again for sure so hopefully a few things will change and I can increase this ratings review.

Food was pretty good not bad price. The cabbage soup was pretty good I got open face roast beef although she brought me roast beef dinner which is now what I ordered. Wife got Ruben which she said was pretty good. Daughter got country fried steak it came with brown gravy Not what you would expect with country fried steak. Son in law got cheese burger said it was pretty good. Service was pretty good she was attentive and brought me some bread for my roast beef to make it an open face like I ask for. Decor was a little dated but for a dinner it wasn't too bad. I would eat here again.

Along our travel route and knowing we'd be needing breakfast, I made plans to eat here while I was still in Oregon. I wasn't disappointed. Chatted with several of the locals and took a recommendation from one. Service was prompt and attentive and the food was good. Biggest impression was the value.Nothing fancy, for sure but a solid spot worth trying out.

Just wanted a light dinner and was very pleased. They have a 1/2 sandwich special with two sides for $4.99. Besides the 1/2 Rueben and the potato salad that is pictured, I also had a cup of creamy rice chicken soup that was nice and hot and good!This is one of the BEST light meals I have ever had! The service was also very good and will definitely be back again!

Been coming here for many years, even when it was Farmer Boys. Never again the way I was treated by their so called Manager! We usually dine in but this time we ordered Togo. We ordered our norm which is 2 Chicken Stir-fry, 1 Shrimp Stir-fry and Combo Appetizer. Our portions on the dinners were a disgrace for what we were charged. When we dine in our plate is covered with a huge mound of vegetables on top and 8 or 9 big strips of chicken...HA that's not what we got for Togo. Our container wasn't even half filled with 4 small pieces a chicken as I wouldn't call them strips, hardly any vegetables or rice. Our Combo Appetizer came with less portion as well and no dipping sauces. So I called to voice my disappointment and the guy who said he was a manager acted as if he didn't care...asked me what I want him to do about it...when I stated a refund he offered 1 free meal...seriously a slap in the face for $64...didn't even offer half refund considering we only got half portion of what you get dining in. He didn't even issue an apology or anything descent to make it right! Long time customers no more...when you disrespect your customers it's a wonder there's hardly any that go there...don't get me wrong the service from waitresses is good and the food is as well when you actually get what you pay for! Now there's 4 less customers they have! The Manager needs customer service training!

The Amherst Diner has excellent food with reasonable prices. The atmosphere is that of a mom and pop place. Most of the servers are very nice and very open for conversation. We are regulars now and if they see us coming, they already have our coffee poured. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is there is one server (Christine) that is quite rude to people. For example, someone seated themselves and she basically yelled at them and then told the next table about it and didn't even lower her voice. I have even heard people mention they wouldn't be back because of her. However, don't let that deter you. It is well worth your time.

Just walked out very disappointed, I stopped in to place a quick take out order, they sat 4 different groups that came in after me then still let me stand there for 5 minutes before anyone ever finally approached me, I was out of time and had to leave without placing an order, I will not be back.

We were trying to go to "Farmer Boy's" for breakfast, but this restaurant showed up in its location. I'm guessing they are one and the same. Solid diner pretty much in the middle of nowhere. You're probably stopping by here because it is one of the few restaurants surrounding the apple picking orchard. Cheap food, good portions, and quality is fine. Standard fare. Nothing special about the place, but it was clean and service was good.
