Downtown Diner - Lakeland

The food is 4 stars but the owner is one of the rudest people I’ve met in a while. I made a comment about feeding some of my homeless friends I’ve made as a bus driver for the county and his response was “they are not welcome here, I’ll ask them to leave” he said he was “making a joke” but it was obvious he meant every word. If you want to support a businessman with zero compassion for those less fortunate than him. Go ahead. I for one will never give him another red cent of my hard earned money. Jesus said “Those who are gracious to the poor lend to the Lord, and the Lord will fully repay them.

The proprietor, Earl wants to be seen as a grumpy old man with short answers to only two questions, but don't let him fool ya. He's been here for many years along with his trusty cook and they serve up delicious food and lots of it. Most of his customers are local regulars that happily put up with his verbal antics for the great meals. If you want a dining experience to remember, hunt for little mom n' pop restaurants with personality. There are far too few of these jewels left in the US except in small towns. Try this, you'll like it :

I felt like I was eating breakfast with my uncle...simply put Earl tells you like it is...no sugar coating but usually a chuckle afterwards! Food was great, and the place is clean I'm sure that's all Paul's doing... Have been there half a dozen times...always the same...keep up the great job fellows!!

It was our first time there, no signs aboutseating or ordering, the owner saw us enter and never said anything until we sat down, he was very rude and sarcastic.
