Peak City Diner

Came in on Mothers Day at around 12:15 pm - only one table available. We were seated and immediately requested and received waters for the table. Perused the extensive menu, which appears to be identical to Shiny Diner. I got the chef salad and the two folks with me got the blue plate special and the french toast with scrambled eggs and bacon. Here's the rundown:Chef salad ($12.99) - nice portion of salad, with fresh lettuce, cucumber, cheese, turkey, ham and bacon. Comes with two small portions of dressing of your choice. The salad was very good and filling. Everything seemed fresh. Blue plate special - the menu offers this special of an entree from the blue plate portion of the menu, two sides and a drink for $13.99. My partner got the tuna salad on a bed of lettuce and sliced tomato. For sides, they selected the Cole slaw and applesauce. The tuna had relish in it and was not overly mayonnaise-y. The Cole slaw also did not have too much mayo, which was good. My partner was pleased with the entree, although wasn't a big fan of the relish in the tuna fish dressing. The French toast, eggs and bacon ($12.99) were well received. Large portion that my partner could not finish. Service was good and friendly. Although the place was busy, we were well taken care of. Restaurant has a 50's vibe with 50's - 60's music playing a bit too loud from the speakers. A bit hard to have conversation.

Grabbed dinner for the family from here tonight and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly upon walking in the door and helpful thru the entire ordering process. The portions for the hamburger steak meal were huge and vegetables choices spot on. I also got a grilled chicken salad and footlong hotdog. All the food was great diner food. The house made chips were a huge hit with everyone. Will definitely try more things from here as the menu is huge with lots of interesting choices. They definitely deserve a 5 star rating for the type of food they serve, but don't expect a high end 5 star restaurant.

Stopped here for the first time for breakfast. Located off E Williams in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking. No light at the street where you turn, so getting in and out is not easy. There was an accident right in the intersection when I left. The menu is the same as the Shiny Diner. Lots of breakfast choices and many lunch snd dinner options. The atmosphere is like an old time diner and there are plenty of tables and booths.I was seated quickly and the waitress came over right away. Very nice young lady but she didn't check on me until I was finished. Everything I had was undercooked. Eggs, bacon was floppy, potatoes not done enough...even the toast could have been better. Disappointed, but I tried!

On our second visit we were just as pleased as the first time, but the third visit was very disappointing.It was the day after Christmas in mid afternoon. There were three waitresses in shift, which was more than enough to handle the moderate amount of people there, yet service was very slow and it took equally as long for the food to come out. The biggest surprise was the lack of cleanliness in the bathroom and the floor in the dining room was quite dirty. This is not the standard at Shiny Diner, which I was under the impression as the owner of Peak City Diner.I also didn't care for the waitresses talking loudly about not liking either the mgr or owner who arrived later.The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth and I haven't even touched on the food, which was just so-so this time.

Another great addition to Apex. We needed a great spot for breakfast that is locally owned and operated vs the local chains. The restaurant just opened. Clean, bright and extremely friendly staff. A bit on the small side, so expect to wait. The food was good - aligns with other traditional diner food. The menu is extensive with all the diner favorites. Breakfast, lunch, sandwiches, blue plate specials - you name it. Cooks times were a bit long, but I think it's still finding their groove (or use another body in the kitchen). I sat at the counter and the kitchen staff is working as hard as they can. Was a bit disappointed to see the waitstaff being a bit rude to the kitchen staff. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked great and hefty portions. Can't wait to try more items on the menu. A decent spot to visit if you're looking for local diner type food.

Mid. If you want a basic American breakfast this is the place to go. Little to no flavor profile.

I've dined in here with my mom twice now and have had good experiences. We have tried the pot roast with carrots, celery & potatoes, chicken fried steak with gravy, oven-roasted turkey breast with stuffing and grandma lillie mae's 4 veggie plate. The blue plate specials come with two sides and a piece of texas toast or a roll. A few of my favorite sides are the mashed potatoes with gravy, apple sauce and black-eyed peas. I was disappointed that they have been out of the mama's homemade meatloaf but I'm hoping to try it in a future visit. I am not big on breakfast but they have a lot of options for that. If you are in Apex it is worth checking out.

What a wonderful addition to Apex! Have been waiting for this to open for a while & it didn't disappoint. The decor didn't change too much from the old Hwy 55 setup. It still had that old-fashioned 1950's burger shop vibe but it was updated with a classic juke box & a bakery case with delicious cakes. Finally we have a place in Apex with Blue Plate Specials and breakfast all day! Food was very good. It was classic diner fare...not fussy and simple delish! Service was excellent and attentive. Oh, & get the cakes & pie. They're locally made and not overly sweet. Didn't get pics since we ate it too quickly. Highly recommend the coconut cake & the pig picking' cake. This is a hidden gem, y'all!!

I first stopped by probably a couple months ago looking for the previous restaurant that had been there. I was glad to find a new diner and ordered the turkey and stuffing. I also had to get a piece of cake Everything was very good. The food was served quickly and hot. Now I grab lunch there about once a week. The staff are always very attentive but not overly so and very friendly.

The food is awesome. Home cooking favorites are priced to be a great value. The variety allows for something for everyone. Service from the waitress Jackie was terrific. Highly recommend!
