The Trusty Diner

Not quite sure how I feel about this place. On one hand it is delightfully charming and, being pescatarian, I sure do appreciate their vegetarian options. The taste of our food choices ranged from ok to darn good. My disappointment is primarily in the serving sizes, the quantity and quality....True I'm a big eater. They offer a veggie burger and an impossible burger. I presumed that it would be a house made veggie patty, I don't think it was. The veggie sandwich was on a very tasty brioche bun but was lacking in amount of ingredients. Neither sandwich came with any sides. We ordered a cup of tomato soup and a side of Mac and cheese, both were pretty tasty though the Mac and cheese was not hot and/or creamy. The best thing on the menu was the house made blueberry pop tart, perfectly made and excellent ratio of crust to filling. Again, the flavors were mostly good. There is plenty of seating and street parking. I wish the sandwiches came with choice of sides (cup of soup, Mac & cheese, veggie, or bag of chips).

Came here based on the reviews. Nice looking, cute place. The most disgusting sandwich I've ever seen in my life. Supposed to be a Cuban. Seems like it had been made 8 hours ago and sat in the sun. The meat was abhorrent. Look at the picture. Appalled.

Love this place.Tasty dishes, delicious house-made sweets, easy online-ordering, and house-made pickles?!?! What more could you need. There's something for everyone, you can indulge or eat healthy -- your choice...i like to do a little of both :) BBQ Pork is tangy and yum, the mac 'n cheese is great, awesome chicken salad, light 'n easy turkey burger, fresh salads & great veggie offerings too. Everything is good!

Chicken salad sandwich and wraps are so good. Also got the pimento and cheese appetizer and it was awesome. And very friendly service. I will be back.

Trusty Diner is like eating with friends who are world class cooks!Lawton is imaginative and ambitious and it's always a treat to visit this sweet little place. And.. if you want favorites like sandwiches, roasted chicken and great soup, along with classic sides- he has got you covered. And finally- don't sleep on the desserts!Service is great too!!Don't miss out on this town treasure!

Traveling thru Water Valley MS. Yelper. Read other reviews. Stopped in. 1/2 chickenMac N Cheese Cowboy BeansThe service was great. Super friendly people. It was quiet. There was only one other customer at the time. I had to get my own refills for my beverage, which I don't mind doing, but worth noting because of unconventionality. The food was delicious. Chicken was perfect. The MacNcheese was exactly like I like it. Cowboy beans are black beans that tasted refried. I'm not sure about them. But still a good meal. Came with a roll. Sister Schubert roll. I also bought beef jersey. I'm not sure about that yet. I'm still full. Hahaha.

We were in Water Valley for a ballgame and decided to try this place. The food was fresh and it was very good. I thought the sides were a little strange for kids. But as an adult I would eat there again. The waitress was very sweet and super helpful.

Overall clean and tidy. Prices are out of sync with area prices. $15 for nothing but a frozen patty of beef with grilled onions and melted cheese was not worth the effort. The bun was fresh at least. No sides are served with your order must order separately. No fries available. They were out of stuffed mushrooms. Only a single type of store fried chips were available. If you don't like extra crispy kettle chips then not the type for you either. We paid for 2 burgers and 2 sweet teas. $35. If I had known would not have bothered to walk through the door. The single waitress was overwhelmed by the multiple tables present. Felt sorry for her and left her a nice tip for her efforts. Nice atmosphere and easy parking.

Great food, great service, thoughtfully prepared. Highly recommend. Best stuffed mushrooms ever!

This is one of my favorite places to drop in for a bite. A sufficient but not overwhelming menu (which is a good thing.) Quality ingredients. I'm a sucker for the French Dip and the cheesesteak sandwiches. The rotisserie chicken is top notch. Great cabbage. Great mac 'n cheese. Specials are dependable. And the homemade hand pies are a treat.
