We’re a fourth-generation, family-owned business here in Norman. Our chili recipe got its start when owner Bonnie Amspacher’s great-grandfather moved the family from Apache, Oklahoma during the Great Depression to start the Southside Grocery, which served the community for decades before Bonnie’s dad, Mark Amspacher, opened one of the first restaurants on downtown Main Street in 1998, The Diner! Guy Fieri featured Mark and The Diner on Diners, Dives, and Drive-Ins, and Ty Pennington’s American Diner Revival kicked off with The Diner in a great first episode. Come check us out for yourself, and see why generations of folks keeping coming back.
Breakfast & lunch spot renowned for its chili, huevos rancheros & hearty American fare. Based on 905 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.6 stars. Price $

Hometown diner feel. Sit at the bar and get the full experience of how your food is prepared.

After years of having gone to college earlier and years of visiting since, I finally found an opportunity to dine at The Diner (meaning I was actually up in time before they close).

Came here on our second day stay for a college visit. And truly enjoyed breakfast! Perfect portions and super delicious ! I had the skinny breakfast and was so yummy and their pancakes are the best we’ve had ! Service was prompt, friendly and very attentive! You won’t regret eating here!

The egg quesadilla and the French toast were both very good. I liked the egg quesadilla as it had lots of veggies. It could have been more crispy on the outside but the flavor was perfect. The prices have gone up quite a bit since the last time I was there so just keep that in mind.

Have eaten here since the 70s. When Mark took it over it was even better. After his passing it has slowly gone down hill. Today it took way too long to get our food for not being busy. Toast was literally cool to the touch. Asked for bacon and extra bacon. I received 2 slices cut in half, 4 halves all together and it was cool as the toast. They took our coffee and the so called extra bacon off the ticket. It’s very sad to see a once renowned place go to this. Will not ever be back. To the owner… “The Diner” may have opened in the 90s but it’s been a Cafe since the 40s and I ate there before it was The Diner.

We wondered into this little place on our way back to Texas. I had the B.L.T. It was very good. My oldest son enjoyed the club sandwich. Our party also had the blueberry pancakes and a hamburger. They were both pleased with their orders also. Everyone that worked there was very friendly and kind. This is a great place to stop and have a great diner experience.

Amazing place to eat. Seriously, try out there brisket hash as a breakfast or lunch entrée. Their burgers are also to die for and the environment Nana sphere is amazing. You really get a feel for the vintage legacy this diner house. Over 100 years of serving the Norman Oklahoma community with awesome food and awesome service. Thank you guys

I like the historical look inside this place in downtown Norman but they need to clean!!!!! Absolutely filthy in there. Just look up at the ceilings when you’re in there. Now the food was good. I enjoyed my chocolate chip pancakes. I just think they can do better and they can and starting by cleaning the place would help out a lot.
