I really like the home town, or local restaurant. The big chain restaurants can never capture the special atmosphere. Friends having coffee, great conversation and fellowship. The staff know what you want and who you are. Breakfast was made to order and fresh. I ordered a veggie skillet, with over medium eggs, English muffin and a coffee $11.00. Service was great , staff friendly.
Good food. Great staff. Always super busy whenever we go. Price is decent. 2 people eat with drinks for at, or under $25. Lots of options. This is a regular place we visit on Sundays after church.
Very good food, had a rueban and a vanilla milkshake and fries. My friend had a Philly with fries and a Dr pepper float. The staff is extremely friendly can sometimes talk a little too much but no big deal, the younger girl and guy working here are very nice. So no issues with food or staff.
Now the restaurant does look like it needs a good refurbishing and cleaning. Seats are tearing, the walls have some food stains and it is too cluttered with photos and nic nacs, needs some updating while also keeping the classic look. Also was watching a staff member unload vegetables into the storage bins out on a dining room table which I thought was strange.
All in all for the food and service I recommend you atleast give this place a try.
Friendly spot in strip mall makes it great for a quick breakfast or lunch when out on errands. Diner menu has all the usual suspects.
My BLT was freshly made. Bread was well toasted (what is worse than pallid toast) the bacon crisp and the tomato sweet and juicy. It was as good as a homemade BLT.
My mother and I were looking for breakfast and I came across the reviews for Deerwood Diner and decided it was worth a try. IT TRULY WAS!!! This diner is a hidden gem. The staff are incredibly nice, so accommodating, and delivered such friendly hospitality. We truly enjoyed our experience. The food is delicious!!! Mason is hilarious!! All the waiters and cooks
made us feel so special. Please support this business!
This place is AMAZING! The Reuben I had was the best I’ve ever had in my life! They make their a thousand island dressing from scratch. Their breakfast tastes delicious and their pancakes melt in your mouth. You will not be disappointed if you ever go here, the staff is so friendly and personable. And Mason is the best!!! He will leave you laughing the whole time. If you want to try a new place or become a regular somewhere, this is the place!
Really great little 50s style diner with great energy. The employees are always super friendly.
I moved to Jacksonville from Cleveland a couple years ago and I've been on the lookout for a good corned beef sandwich. A friend recommended this place and they didn't disappoint!
My boyfriend really enjoyed his omelette, too.
My cousin was visiting from out of town and we stopped in for breakfast (first time for both of us). The atmosphere and service was incredible. Mason and Justin both made our experience wonderful. We both were very happy we chose to have breakfast here and plan on visiting again next time he’s in town!
I have been coming here for years with my grandparents. They like it, but I really never was a fan. Not until recently. The food was always sub par to me, personally. Lately, the food has been absolutely fantastic. Not sure if they are using better ingredients or if their staff finally learned how too cook well, but keep that up and I will be here more often. Complements to the chef.
Great local diner, highly recommend. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. The veggie burger is delicious, and they cook their bacon perfectly. Definitely check this place out! Be sure to say hello to Mason - he's sure to put a smile on your face.
We were in the Jacksonville area in a part of town we were not familiar with and needed to find a place for breakfast. Based on the reviews and the menu, we picked the Deerwood Diner. What a wonderful surprise! All of the food was delicious; the corned beef hash was the best I have ever tasted! Hash browns were yummy, and my wife’s vegetable omelet was outstanding. Unlike some diners, there was no excess grease in any of the food. Atmosphere was very pleasant-Justin Razer and Mason made us feel very welcomed and took great care of us. We got to meet Chef Dreauh and thanked her for the wonderful food she cooked with love for us.
Now that we know about this gem of small town hospitality and delicious home cooked food, we will no doubt return regularly going forward.
This place is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in all of Jacksonville. The owners like to chat and get to know all their customers, very very reminiscent of the diners my parents would take me to when I was very young. Great food cooked to order, everything is hot fresh and delicious! Can't recommend this place highly enough!!

If you're looking to have an excellent breakfast, this is your place. The best French Toast in the world is served here. If you think you like French Toast, try there's and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. The food, the service and the people are amazing. The cook knows his way around a kitchen. Come try it, you will definitely like it.
The waiters/waitresses are so friendly and treat you like family. The owner is so sweet and friendly as well. I have tried lots of things on the menu and have never been disappointed. I go there 1-2 times a week just for the ranch chicken wrap! Great food, great home feel environment!!
By far the best experience at a restaurant/diner ever. Not only is the homestyle diner food IMMACULATE but the service and staff is beyond friendly and welcoming! it makes you not want to leave/immediately come back. Been wanting to try this place for weeks and so glad i finally did. Mason and Razor made the experience an 11/10. By far the funniest and nicest staff ever. Youre a lucky one if you get to hear ANY of Masons one liners, the stories are even better. Highly recommend this place for breakfast/lunch.
P.s. get mason a stack of blueberry pancakes, on me.

My wife and I retired and moved here 7 months ago. We came upon this cool 50's diner by chance. Reading some of these reviews, I feel that some may be comparing this diner to the big corporate diners. We've never had a bad experience at the Deerwood Diner. The atmosphere is laid back and the food is is diner perfect.
We recently had lunch there on a Wednesday and Ally (our favorite server) and Mason were working the dining area together. Dynamic Duo. Mason greeted some of the guests by name and seemed to be doing a little bit of everything while Ally saw to the orders. These two working together was exceptional.
If you've not tried the Deerwood Diner, we recommend that you do. We also suggest having lunch there on a Wednesday when Ally and Mason are working. We know you'll be amazed by the service AND the great food.
We're not sure what Mason's position is, and we've asked ourselves a time or two... Why isn't Mason a server? Great guest service skills Ally & Mason!!!
We have become "regulars" you will too.
This place is awesome! The staff are friendly, helpful and make you feel right at home. I ordered the breakfast burrito with hashbrowns. The eggs were cooked perfectly (fluffy & moist) Everything was so yummy. Highly recommend this place.
The food was excellent but the service was great! I love the vibe of the diner. The host was very friendly and hilarious and really made it a great experience! Must try this place! ( and they make the best veggie burrito! )
This was my wife and I first visit. Quick, friendly and personable service. The owner and the restaurant manager both stopped by and checked on us. Clean little spot and good atmosphere. Fresh hot food. Look forward to next visit and to try a different plate.
