I'll start with dont judge a book by it's cover...looks to be a kinda tired old converted rail car, but it's a diner, not black tie so it's cool. Breakfast anytime, homemade hash, hot turkey sandwiches...typical diner fare and all of our food was great. Might be a little overpriced, but the food and service were well worth it.

I had the hot turkey sandwich, which came with mashed potatoes and cole slaw. The food was very tasty. The service was excellent. I thought it was overpriced, though, for a diner. Also, it needs some updating and cleaning. I probably would not eat here again.

This is one of our favorite breakfast options, used to be Libby's Blue Line Dinner, but the food is just as good under the new ownership. Highly recommend the biscuits and gravy.

My husband and I recently moved to the area, and were looking to find a little place for breakfast. Saw Athens Diner up on the hill, and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed and have been back many times with our friends. The skillets are amazing, and the service is always friendly and attentive.

Since moving up here a few weeks ago, my wife and I have brought family and friends here 3 times! That should say something about this place. The portions are great, leaving me rarely finishing my breakfast. The menu is huge, tons of choices for any lover of breakfast foods. The service is always friendly. I love this diner for... More

I had a great breakfast here as well when going out for a photoshoot on a cold rainy morning. The standard meal of eggs, corn beef has, toast and great coffee. I was the first customer and had a good time talk with the waitress about the area.

I wish I had saved my twenty five dollars for something better. I had the greek egg sandwich and my love had the biscuits and gravy. Homefries are drab and tasteless. Also, the hostess was uncomfortably rude to everyone but especially to another waitress! Be polite! You are not invisible! Or inaudible!

I dislike waiting to be seated, but once I am everything is great. The breakfasts are good sized, cooked well and served by cheery staff.Prices are reasonable and the sevice is very good.

This used to be a fantastic diner called Libby's. This is no where up to Libby's standards or my diner standards in general. Service was slow and the corned beef hash I had was inedible. It tasted old and was bathed in oil, like they'd poured oil on it to soften up old hash. I don't do this often, but... More

We ate breakfast here several times (we are from PA). We can't speak for other meals, but we have not been disappointed with the breakfasts. Great coffee and very adequte portions. Even though Henry's Diner in downtown Burlington is owned by the same person, there is a distinct difference in food quality, portions, and wait staff. Don't waste your time... More
