OMG! Had the chicken fried steak and it was fabulous!! Best breakfast I had while in Emporia next to my own. Would highly recommend this place to everyone. Service was great too.
Great food, Huge portions!! Hole in the wall cafe in downtown Emporia. Super friendly staff. We ate on Sunday. Well worth the wait. And it wasn't long.
Food was amazing huge portion for the price very affordable and the staff is amazing very polite and professional

My husband and I were participating in the Fabulous Finds on Highway 99. When we are on trips like that, our preference is to eat at local establishments whenever possible. We found your diner as we were "passing through" and decided to stop. When we walked in, we had no idea it was 20 minutes until you closed for the day. Our waitress was friendly and welcoming. When I realized your closing time was near and said something about it, she assured me that all was just fine. Service was prompt, the food was plentiful and delicious! At no time did we feel we were being rushed or that our late arrival was inconvenient. Thank you for your hospitality for the people from Pittsburg. If we're in Emporia again, we'll have to try the biscuits and gravy!!

BEST chicken fried chicken!!! Not only is the main dish huge, it comes with a veggie, side and roll!
Very good food with wonderful staff and the best waiters/waitresses ever. This will always my go-to spot every time I come up. Thank you guys and gals for making me feel at home when I'm there. Love all of y'all!! God bless Commercial St Diner. ��
This is my go to place for breakfast. Chicken fried steak comes out on its own plate, and is better quality and cheaper than IHOP. Oh darn I didn't get a tiny stack of pancakes with it. Try their pancakes.
Good food. I eat there quite a bit as I work a block down the street. I Call in orders to go a lot and they are usually pretty fast! It’s done within 5 minutes! Good service and food!

Great food, great service. Highly recommend it.
Wonderful diner, opens at 6am. They have great taste for old cars :) and a various choices for omelettes, can’t wait mine arrives. 11/11
I love the vibe and atmosphere of this place.
As an international student, I loved trying the experience of dining in a local diner.
Their service is fast and they are willing to change the dish according to your diet.
I love their Pancakes, fluffy and soft.
I recommend trying the farmer’s breakfast.
I didn't enjoy the strawberry shortcake, but they were nice about it.
Delicious food and large portions. We waited about 10 min to get a table on a Sunday. It’s a small place which makes it noisy. My husband had the Rueben and onion rings. Both were delicious. I had biscuit with sausage gravy and one egg over medium. It was very good and the egg was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Another great small town restaurant. Food was terrific, service was awesome. Real ham, not processed stuff
All of their menu items are fantastic. Portions are most generous. I especially enjoy their biscuits and sausage white gravy.
I was in town Thursday/Friday to help a friend move and we had breakfast here Friday morning.
Staff was great, I had a blueberry pancake (pictured below), which was huge and a half order of biscuits and gravy with hash browns.
I wish I could say I finished it all, but not quite. I would definitely recommend Commercial Street if you’re passing through town!
This breakfast was amazing. We took the last available table but they work fast and efficient. Husband and I both agreed it was the best bacon we had ever had. Cooked perfectly.
I visited this over a month ago while traveling to other states. I decided to stop by there after seeing good reviews about it and made a good choice I guess. There are two doors and if you are pike us and parked your car at back side which is basically parking lot. After parking our car we were confused about entering from the back door. But the door was welcoming us saying a nice message that “Back door client are the best” . So it made us to enter there without any hesitation and it was hot outside so we didn’t had to walk along the road. This restaurant is quite rural looking you will have “country roads take me home” kinda feeling. I loved it. And yes serving size was quite good. I took breakfast which had poached egg and pancakes. Size of pancake was generous and there were 2 poached eggs. I was asked about what I prefer like well done, medium or soft. I preferred medium and was really liked that I was given options not just served some eggs which is not consistent to my tastes. Medium poached egg was right for me and it’s look and tastes was good. He ordered Farmer’s breakfast and food was plenty and tastes good too.
