Dale's Diner

I was so hungry, I forgot to take a picture, but the Narrow Boat (corned beef & homestyle potatoes) was great! The corned beef is homemade here so give it a try next time you're here. The service was friendly and fast as well.

Small local restaurant that was respectfully busy. Nice vibe and bright atmosphere. Nice portion sizes.I had the Avo Benny - ok look this is probably just a pet peeve of mine, but poached eggs are not supposed to have a solid gelatinous yolk. (It's not supposed to run either), it should have the consistency of pudding. Also that's not what I would call hollandaise... BUT IT WAS STILL TASTY. I enjoyed it. My SO had off menu blueberry crepes - those were yummy too.So... Overall I'd certainly come back (most places can't poach eggs either)Go here and eat. You'll like it.

Great Service, quality food, great value!! We really enjoyed our breakfast. And coffee was delicious!

Great breakfast (they make the corn beef hash) with excellent service at great price. This is a go out of my way place that I will visit again!

It's a smaller restaurant so if you come during peak brunch time grab some patience! The servers and the kitchen work their butts off and remain friendly and kind! Your coffee cup will never be empty! Food is pretty good- filling portion sizes.

On a leisurely weekend drive to Grand Rapids from Toledo, we found ourselves hungry in Waterville during a pandemic. Normally we'd keep driving, but the pandemic has made being adventurous with eating tough, and when we noticed Dale's was open with outside seating, we decided to give it a try!Long story short, the food is solid, the portions are big and the view from the sidewalk is pretty lovely. If you haven't been to Waterville, it's classic historic small town America, and the food definitely follows suit.

Went there for breakfast and one person in our party is gluten free, but when we got back home they had a very bad reaction to something they ate. So if you are gluten free, please be very cautious about cross contamination. As for the rest of us, the food was uninspired and bland. The service was good and friendly though. There are several other breakfast places I would go to first before going back.

I really have nothing bad to say. The door was delicious and the service was great. We were told it would be a half hour wait, which turns into an hour wait. That's how busy and good the food is. I've never eaten anything other than breakfast here and can't comment on the lunch menu items. I would recommend getting there early though on a weekend or your going to have to wait fire sure.

Loved this popular place! Had eggs, thick sourdough toast and their sausage. All amazing! The waitress was very kind, she made great recommendations!I recommend if you're in the area. Also, be prepared to wait a bit. We waited 15 minutes. Was worth it!

Nice enough place. Hadn't been back in years, but did visit recently, no noticeable changes, still your typical diner. Service is good, well staffed, attentive and cordial. Food, again typical, though a bit greasy for my liking, still using an excess amount of butter or whatever they use, at least in my opinion. Wife's Ruben was by no means "lean", but she simply trimmed the fat away until she was happy and moved on to enjoy it nonetheless. Because it left no impression on me good, bad or otherwise not sure I'd ever recommend it, not out of malice, just don't think it would cross my mind, if asked.
