Great breakfast spot. Classic diner with booths & "bar" / stool seating and homemade bread. Great service and good breakfast food. Food comes out fast.

The food is great! I order the same items each time I go, the fish platter, with eggs and home fries. The fish is fried and seasoned well, as are the home fries. The staff is always courteous, no matter how busy it gets. Try Ace Diner, I guarantee that you'll be a repeat customer.

You'd likely drive past this diner without giving it a second thought. But the sign reading 'homemade bread' caught my attention. After fasting for a blood test this morning, I said to T, "let's give Ace a try." And I'm glad we did. The building goes back about ninety years, maintaining its old-fashioned ambience ... or what one might consider lack thereof. The menu is more limited than what you'd find in contemporary diners, but they had what I wanted, a western omelet. Served with coarse buttered grits -- delicious! -- the omelet was better (and cheaper!) than what I ordered in Florida's popular "House of Omelets." So, dummy me, I didn't take a photo of the bread that brought me in, in the first place! (I was preoccupied with a phone call.) Eggs come with two thick slices of pre-buttered white bread toast, which I'm guessing makes excellent French toast. The diner is open for breakfast and lunch. While it wasn't busy mid-morning, takeout orders were flying out the door. Apparently Ace Diner is no secret to locals.

Get the home made bread with an old fashioned diner breakfast. Parking is tricky to back out of but it's always available.
