Ok. This is not a 5 star restaurant nor do they serve gourmet cuisine. But what it is – it is amazing. Great burgers, very reasonably priced, the warmest friendliest staff I’ve ever seen. For “southern comfort” food- nice people, retro environment it is the best. There’s something amazing about a place that when you walk in they know your name they know what you like they know when you’re through that you’re going to take half of your plate with you at home. This place just oozes friendliness it says we care about our people

Second time here while visiting our children. The service has been good both times. Very friendly. Good prices and quantity. Love the retro atmosphere. And they have a BLT with 10 pieces of bacon on it :). Plus fresh cut fries

This was definitely one of those local-popular eatery places. The decor theme of this diner was nostalgic–with the “old” cartoon characters and coca-cola that I liked. While it took a while for food to get to our table, the environment and the taste of the food made it worth the wait. If you are ever in Waco be sure to stop by this diner.

As visitors from out of town, this was the first restaurant where we truly felt welcomed. The staff greeted us warmly, offered thoughtful food accommodations, and even shared helpful local tips on where to go and explore. Their genuine kindness made our experience unforgettable.
We will recommend this place to our Houston friends

Old timey retro diner feels. Super affordable and such great customer service, exactly what southern hospitality feels like. The club sandwich was delicious and the fries very crispy. Love the whole aesthetic of this place, would definitely come again.

This place is very good definitely worth a trip. While they were busy and it took a minute to get waited on, the servers are very friendly. The food was fresh and delicious, very tasty, lots of flavor. Lots of cool decor throughout the restaurant.

UPDATE: they changed their hours to Monday thru Saturday 8am to 3pm.
This place is amazing. The food is fresh. Hamburgers are not frozen. Salads are freshly made. The Salisbury steak is always good. Very fun family friendly atmosphere. Its like being in a diner from the 50’s. Really cool place. I come here all the time. I am very partial to one waitress that works there. She is the best. Always has a smile on her face and will remember your name. If you dine in during the day ask for Liz. She will make you feel like you’re at home.

Came in for breakfast. My boyfriend and I both had the chicken fried steak with over medium eggs, hashbrowns and toast – it was all tasty and a great value at $7.99 per plate. Nothing revolutionary about the food but we left satisfied. It’s a nice quiet spot with friendly service and great prices. Happy we checked it out!

Chicken Fried Throwback with a Side of Silence
Kim’s Diner, Waco, TX
When you walk into Kim’s Diner, the checkerboard floors and chrome-edged tables don’t just say retro—they holler it across the room like a jukebox waking from a nap. Vintage Coca-Cola lights dangle above the booths, red vinyl chairs line up like soldiers, and the walls are pure Americana—nostalgic murals, classic car prints, and diner kitsch. It’s got the bones of a roadside legend, even if the soul’s on break.
I went with a small Chicken Fried Steak Dinner, and for the price, it was a solid move. Let’s break it down:
• The Steak: Nicely battered, golden-brown crust, well-seasoned throughout. What made it work was that the cook actually respected the protein—no grease pool, no soggy corners. I specifically asked for the white gravy on the side—I like to see the steak and decide the gravy journey, not get smothered into submission. That request was honored, and the pour-as-you-go approach made each bite better. Props to the cook.
Mashed Potatoes & Brown Gravy: Classic. Creamy, hot, and the brown gravy wasn’t salty or clumpy—just smooth and a little savory. No frills, but well-executed.
Fried Okra: Hot, generously portioned, and while it leaned on the softer side rather than crispy, the flavor came through. It still delivered that Southern familiarity you expect.
Now here’s where the engine coughed: the service. The waitress never introduced herself, took my order, and then vanished—posted up at the bar chatting with a coworker for the rest of the meal. I wasn’t offered refills, no check-in, and no dessert prompt. She did ring me up, but not even a “thanks” or “come back again.” I was ready for that Chocolate Lava Cake, but I wasn’t about to interrupt a social hour to get it. And that’s a shame—because the food earned a second round.
Despite the ghost-town energy and the invisible server act, I would still return. Kim’s delivers where it counts most: hearty comfort food, good prices, and a chef who’s clearly still showing up, even when the front-of-house doesn’t.
With some polished hospitality, this could easily be a five-star joint. But for now, it’s a four-star stop—with a side of missed potential.
