"Diner vibe totally! Nothing fancy but it was packed. The town locals filled the tables and they were kind and welcoming to the "not regulars" like us! The food portions are beyond generous for the price. I had Dee's Sunrise and WHOA that pancake....was huge. Very good. If you like little diners with good food and don't want to spend a lot of money, definitely check them out!"

"5 Stars - A Must-Visit in Owensboro! We were in Owensboro for work and decided to stop in at Dee's Diner for lunch--what a great decision! The country fried steak was absolutely outstanding, and the meatloaf was honestly one of the best we've ever had. The food was so good that we came back the very next morning for breakfast, and it was just as amazing as lunch. Beyond the delicious food, the service was warm and welcoming, and the prices were very reasonable. Dee's Diner is the kind of local gem you hope to find when you're in a new town. Highly recommend!"

"First time visitor...extremely happy. Parking lot was full so we had to circle the block and park down the road. You seat yourself and I'm pretty certain we got the last table. Waitress came quickly and warned us that there were new employees in kitchen so service was slower then usual. It did take a very long time to get our food but WOW it was a LOT and it was so delicious. I got a meal (for 10.75) of three eggs (ordered medium and cooked correctly), two slices of bacon and two sausage links (bigger then expected), biscuits and gravy. It also come with two pancakes. Pancakes that were HUGE. Now they admittedly arent the best pancakes I have ever had but they were larger than a dinner plate and the leftovers were sent home in a pizza box. Overall it was a great experience and we will definitely go back and try them again."

"Passing through Owensboro and stumbled across this little hidden gem. The food was AMAZING. Our waitress Tomeka was absolutely phenomenal. She was friendly and very attentive. The food was hot and fresh with huge portions. I can't say one bad thing about this place. I even absolutely loved the senior lady cashier she was a delight to talk to. Do yourself a favor and eat here, you wont be disappointed."
