I love a good diner... especially an authentic diner with deep rooted history in an area! This passion of mine is what brought my family and I to the Hi-Lo.The interior is clean and well maintained. Some of the booths have some wear in the seats, but overall this place silently screams RETRO DINER, complete with stools at the counter! Service was delivered quickly and with a smile. Service check ins were frequent enough to satisfy, so we never felt ignored or bothered. Overall the food was delicious. My wife had the huevos rancheros, I had the Tennessee Hot chicken sandwich, our kiddo had Mac & cheese, and we split a butterscotch shake and a donut for desert.The chicken sandwich had one of the lightest yet crispiest batters I've ever had. Personally, I thought the Tennessee Hot was more of a Tennessee "Mild" - however, I like really hot food so my natural expectations are high for spice. The flavor was delicious...and I'm tempted to say this was probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The huevos rancheros were delicious as well. The diner's presentation comes with a crispier corn tortilla than a traditional preparation, however it ads some texture to each delicious bite.The butterscotch shake was super yummy - not overly sweet but still rich with that signature buttery flavor. Their signature donut blew me away. It was swerved warm with a fresh coat of glaze and every bite was OMG amazing. If you like old fashioned shakes or drool at donuts like Homer Simpson, the Hi-Lo will make you a happy customer.Also- they have signature cocktails and beers on tap!!One suggestion for improvement would be the addition of more entrees. While the food was great and they had something for everyone in our small party, the entree selections felt limited. I'm not sure if they have daily specials here...I don't recall seeing a sign and our server did not mention anything.This was our first visit to the Hi-Lo and we are looking forward to becoming regulars.

Great brunch food, friendly service and neat ambiance. The breakfast burrito and pancakes were highlights. Be prepared to pay a heavy price which may catch you off guard given the diner feel, the prices are not.

Hi-Lo is a cute & traditional looking diner. We went on a Saturday at about 1030 and it was about a 45 minute wait, you give your phone number and they text when your table is ready, so we ended up going across the street to Dogwood while we waited for our table.Parking was not hard to find, we parked on the street but realized there was a lot after! The street parking was free where I parked which is definitely a plus.Food:We all split a side of French Toast and i think this had to be my favorite thing I tried there and one of the best French toasts I have had!I ordered the eggs benedict and I am sad to say it was a bit underwhelming for me. They were still pretty good and the eggs were perfectly cooked, but the hollandaise sauce for me was just okay & was really runny/buttery rather than a creamier texture. The hash browns were perfectly cooked! My friends got the Fodero Breakfast & the Breakfast sandwich, the Fodero was a classic breakfast, pretty good! The breakfast sandwich had huge biscuit which was sooo good.I would love to come back and try the Hi-Tops, they look incredible and look like they are HUGE. Overall, I would love to come back to try more!

We went to Hi-Lo Diner for a late Sunday lunch. There was a short wait to get a table which wasn't a surprise because it a small place. My kids got shakes, which were amazing especially the s'mores flavor. Our food was good, I thoroughly enjoyed the Tennessee hot chicken sandwich. I loved the diner vibe but it is definitely elevated food/cocktails. Would go back again if we were in the area.

I came here during the summer with a friend for an early dinner, so there was ample seating without a wait. We had always wanted to check it out since the neon sign and typical diner vibes seemed pretty neat!The staff were friendly, and there were a few free parking spots on the side/back which was convenient. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, my friend got the Mac N Cheese, and we got a Black Boat Banana Crème Pie slice.

I love Hi-Lo, it's cozy diner food mixed with neon lights and fun art. The outside looks like a spaceship, but the inside looks like the classic retro diner that you've seen in every movie. Even with a packed house for lunch, service is still fast and friendly.

I have come here from time to time and i have to say that Angie will always take care of you no matter how busy it is. When i come to this establishment its like i am visiting family. The pancakes and fodero breakfast are my go to but everything on the menu is fabulous. Pancakes are made to order and eggs are fresh, i couldn't be happier. Chase is so wonderful to talk to and very hardworking and accomodating. 5 star food and 5 star staff.
