Union Street Diner

Another great visit!My friend and I were in desperate need of breakfast on a Thursday morning, and Union Street had us covered.The place is always so cozy, and the service is amazing. I ordered the breakfast burrito and my friend got some corned beef hash and sausage. Both came out quickly and were fresh, hot, and so so good. My most favorite part of this place is its affordability. Breakfast and brunch places have become so expensive lately, so it was nice to not spend more than $15 on this filling meal.This place is a must stop if you're in the area and are hungry.

In town for YMCA championships, we ate here for lunch. Chicken parm sandwich is the bomb! Burger was good. The kids enjoyed the Mac and cheese bites and the chicken tenders. Service was fast and friendly.

Always, always served great food, and nice portions. It's either the Philly Steak with Zucchini Fries, or an Omelet.

What a cool little place in Athens. Just minutes away from OU, this little gem was spotlessly clean, surprisingly roomy inside and has great food. The servers were friendly and quick. Nothing fancy just delicious, damn good, stick to your ribs diner fare. You wont regret stopping in.

This morning for Veterans Day, I ordered the Loaded Hash browns with Toast and Bacon. The food came out quick and hot, the coffee was delicious and the atmosphere was great. The cost was great as well

Being from Jersey I love a good diner. So it's always an eatery I look for while away. Most of the real diners are stainless steel free standing locations open 24 hrs where you can get breakfast at 8 pm or surf and turf at 8am. Union Diner was none of these. Went for lunch and ordered a cheese steak. It wasn't. The roll fell apart and every body knows you don't eat a Philly cheese steak with a knife and fork. It's illegal. Tight seating but good service. College kids are fun but not when they act like they're having their last meal. It was crowded and waiting is outside. Not my idea of a diner.

I didn't even realize how much I missed this place. We went here all the time when I was in grad school - the food was cheap and plentiful, the coffee was excellent, and it's the only place I've ever actually enjoyed hash browns.I'm pleased to say literally nothing has changed, except they now have quite pleasant outdoor seating. Service was top notch, from bringing us an umbrella without being asked to serving food quickly and keeping the drinks refilled while making perfect diner waitress banter. Plus, amazing bacon. I really need to drive back to Athens more often.

Came here the day after my brother's wedding and I can't say I was disappointed. Standard breakfast fair near the college campus. Several green booths scattered at the entrance with a hallway that extended to larger back section. Nothing spectacular about the ambience but if you want comfort food, large portions, and family oriented service look no more! I personally had the garbage omelette with hash browns and a side of gravy. Everything was tasty and super filling. Only thing I didn't like were the banana peppers in it. The fermented flavor had too much bite too it, overpowering the omelette. But I just took a few out and it was just dandy!Owner came to ask about our experience and trip near the end of our meal. He was so warm and funny. I could see this being a place that locals frequent a lot.

Union Street Diner is the diner every college town should have. It is no frills goodness where you would go back just for the hashbrowns alone. Coffee is good, hot, and constantly being refilled. Biscuits and gravy is worthy as are the milkshakes that my kids will get no matter the hour. What it is not is a chain with cutesy (and misogynistic) dish names like what we also now have serving breakfast uptown. I alternate between Union Street and Casa Nueva for breakfast whether just the family or meetings with students or out of town guests. Very different vibes and so glad we have both.

Great service and great food. I would suggest others come here. Breakfast any time of the day. Reasonably priced
