Carlo’s Diner

I always have an excellent experience at Carlos Diner! Ross, our server, is consistently amazing—he’s quick, attentive, and always makes sure we’re well taken care of. The prices are great, and I really appreciate that I can usually get a table right away without a long wait. It’s one of my favorite go-to spots because of the great service and overall great value! Highly recommend.

Been coming here since I was a child. I moved away for a long time and just moved back to the area after 13 years, and im so glad Carlo's Diner is still here. The food is just as good as I remember.

Staff always welcoming and personal, the cook is always putting the food out fast and accurately.

Found this place by chance. The food was great and so was the service. Got the Carlos Combo, which was two eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 2 sausage links and biscuit w gravy. The price was under $9. The place was packed all three days I went there for breakfast when I was in town. Alexandra, my server was really sweet

The waiter there was so nice and the food is really good. Try the spinach omelette, it’s awesome.

If you're looking for a nice homie place to have breakfast or lunch. This is it very courteous and welcoming.

Food was delicious where I'm from. There's not a lot of small town diners. This one was great. The service was amazing. They were very nice The atmosphere was great. They had a lot of regulars come in and the guy at the counter knew their order or their name

I loved this place so much that I don't even want to tell you about it. It's a small, unassuming diner. I honestly didn't expect much going in but felt right at home the moment we walked in. Our server, Ross, was fantastic! He has so much charm, charisma, and humor. He had us laughing every time he walked by our table. The food was very good and at a great price. I had the French toast that comes with 2 eggs, bacon, AND sausage (most places make you pick one or the other). My friend had the vegetable omelet (which is made with 3 eggs) and a choice of side, and a choice of bread). It was a lot of food. They kept our coffee cups full and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Nice diner. Breakfast was good and arrived pretty quickly. Very reasonably priced. Smiling faces everywhere.

You get your coffee within minutes of sitting down. Great food at reasonable prices.

Had breakfast here on Jan 30. Everything delicious, even the Corned Beef Hash that was slightly over cooked. Nice atmosphere and service.

Great breakfast! The food and service were both excellent!

We stopped by to try this local diner, it wasn’t a huge place, but it was clean, bright and don’t have an old restaurant smell. Service was fantastic! We also liked their family style atmosphere! Seems to me everyone knows each others in this town. Price was very reasonable considering in today’s economy? I had 2 eggs, pit ham and pancakes, they were good! But I love their pancakes the most, great texture! For the price they charge I can easily eat there 2-3 times a week! We will definitely be back soon!

Nice local restaurant with delicious eats. The avocado toast with feta cheese and eggs was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Me and my dad love coming here the staff is so nice!

We had a great time. Everyone was great. They interact with the customers and made sure we were doing ok and if we needed anything. Would recommend this place to anyone. The best part for me was they had breakfast and lunch you could order. I love breakfast. Don't know how much our bill was because we were out with friends and they picked up the tab.

We're visiting from Tallahassee, Fla. The food 💯! Customer service 💯! Cleanliness 💯! Price 💯% worth it! We will definitely be coming back and referring family & friends.

This great diner will be your second home on any trip you take! I visited the area for 3 days and all 3 mornings I went and had food at their restaurant. They make you feel immediately welcome and cater to your allergies and dietary restrictions. Ross and Wendy were both kind, amazing and above and beyond servers! Even during the morning rush, the flow and quality of the food was never off. The food was hot, nicely plated on clean dishes and was truly delicious and fulfilling. The coffee? amazing, full bold flavor yet soft notes at the same time. I couldn't get enough. The enviornment was full of positive energy and friendlyness on every corner. You see the regulars and tourists (like I was) blend in effortlessly. This restaurant left a great impression and made it's way into my heart with their service, quality of food, friendly atmosphere and the most kind staff you will ever meet. Will always try my best to visit and dine on my next trip!

I have loved carlos for years. It’s a great family diner where everyone knows your name. They serve breakfast,lunch. Its tucked away in a neighborhood so it’s kinda a hidden gem. Great food. Amazing prices. Homemade soups and delicious daily specials. Super friendly staff. Overall a great place to check out if you have never been.

This diner is one of the staples of ocoee! Me and my family have been coming here for years now. The owner, Daniella, is a blessing who always keeps the place feeling fresh and alive. Both the chefs Wilna and James always keep the food tasteful and delicious. I have to recommend the slammer pancake combo with scrambled eggs and their famous crispy bacon. They also have wonderful every day specials you can’t find anywhere else! The music is always on point here so if you’re looking for a fun family friendly diner DEFINITELY GO HERE! Will be back soon :D

Friendly staff, they speak Spanish, great food and enviroment. Old school diner, food was delicious and coffee cup was always full.

I popped in on a Sunday around 10:30 and took a seat at the counter. I was greeted warmly by Lidia and quickly served a very good cup of fresh brewed coffee. I like that they're individual creamer choices included flavors. I ordered the Skillet; home fried potatoes with sautéed peppers & onions, 2 scrambled eggs topped with sausage gravy, and I chose the biscuit. While I waited and enjoyed my coffee, I observed that the place had an upbeat and friendly bustle amongst staff and patrons, but it wasn't too loud. Regulars were greeted like family, a familiar order was placed before the door was even opened, the sound of comfortable laughter over breakfast. My skillet arrived, accompanied by a very soft and fluffy biscuit. The sausage gravy that covered the soft scrambled eggs was tasty without being too salty. I would have preferred a bit meatier gravy, but for that, I can make my own. But it's such a pain! 😅 So really, no complaints on their gravy. The potatoes and diced peppers were grilled nicely with seasoning of their own. The eggs were fluffy and very lightly seasoned, balancing the dish perfectly. The portion was robust and I took more than half to go. And everyone knows that breakfast skillets make for excellent leftovers! I did NOT forget about the biscuit, but I did leave it til last. I like to see if a warm biscuit is microwaved or steamed/ oven warmed by waiting until it cools a little. A microwaved biscuit will turn hard as a rock. This was still soft and buttery, but not buttered, with the hint of saltiness on the top from the baking powder. A darn good biscuit 👌 The price for the amount of food was more than reasonable, and I like their easy pay QR code. I would, however, suggest that they get themselves some Crystal hot sauce. 😉 I'll be back to try their lunch menu!

Wow! Definitely go here! We got the specials and everything was incredible and fresh. Fried pork chop and okra were perfect not greasy at all and eggs cooked perfectly. Waffle was full of fruit, fluff and soft! Service was very friendly and attentive keeping glasses full. Will absolutely be back. Thank you!

I really enjoyed my great breakfast! First time here and so hospitable and delicious food.

My partner & I enjoyed breakfast @ Carlo's Diner, today. Amazing food & amazing staff. Clean, music playing 🎶🎵 & televisions to watch. I had the Farmer's omelet, grits & biscuits. My partner - over medium eggs (cooked perfectly), bacon, crisp bacon & biscuits. We found a hidden gem in Ocoee💎. We will, definitely, be back. Thank you so much❤️

This place is always amazing! Their specials are always out of this world and sooooo delicious! Taelor was our server and she never misses anything. Very attentive and absolutely adores our son. They have a holiday waffle special right now. Absolute PERFECTION!

Great place to have breakfast and lunch!

this morning I had one of the days special. Blueberry waffle, eggs with cheese, bacon and side of grits. my cousin ordered menu item "early burger" this thing was a thick patty with a prefect fried egg lettuce tomato and fries!!! food is always a knock out the park

Carlo’s Diner is where the locals eat. Customers walk in and staff seem genuinely excited to see them. We went on Saturday for a late breakfast, around 11:00 AM and there was a constant stream of diners. Our family of 4 are for $55 (before tip), which these days is pretty affordable. Kids each got hot chocolate as a treat, so we could have gone less if we wanted. Great place to go and we’ll definitely be back many times! Thanks to Meeca, our server.

Welcome to momma's kitchen! Great food, super friendly service and good prices especially for the portions served. Go casual and welcome to. The Carlo's family 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳🍳🍽️

Love coming here before or after my sons Basketball games!! Great service and good food at a good price!! You cant Go wrong eating at Carlos Diner

Great food and service! Emelia was so friendly and nice. Fun and inviting atmosphere, good food and menu selection. Good classic diner and we will be back 😊

Best little diner you could ask for. Food is amazing, service is great, and the price is phenomenal. We love breakfast here on the weekends, their specials are always an amazing deal. We recently tried lunch here as well and I can tell you the burgers are very good, with that home cooked vibe. I also tried their Dagwood sandwich which was so good. I will be back for sure to keep trying new things with them. If you come to this little diner you will not be disappointed just be sure to get here early as the later you show up the busier it gets. Last time we took a table someone had just left, before they had a chance to clean it cause we wanted to make sure we got our spot. Parking is never an issue at all. If you go for breakfast my wife recommends their omelets, if you want to try a new thing their beef fritters are cool and pretty good too. Their hashbrowns are always cooked to perfection.

I love the simple, relaxed family atmosphere here and the value for the money and the service. They’re all just great and it’s my favorite spot in Ocoee. Great for breakfast before or lunch after our soccer matches at GGS at Jim Beach Rec Center.

The staff treated us like family. They had us laughing so much, we sat at the bar around 9am on saturday. The Rye bread was the best I have ever tasted . I asked where they got it from and said a bakery in downtown orlando. A bread i'd fresh from bakery:) Corned beef hash well done crispy was delicious the best I ever had !!! Thank you Carlos Diner . Can't wait to try the new Valentines menu ♥️

Solid but not spectacular! I wanted to live it! There were plenty of regulars there the day I went!

I love diners, especially neighborhood, mom and pop, so this is a solid place for a home-style breakfast. No fuss, nothing too fancy. It was pretty busy but the wait wasn’t too crazy. The menu has a lot of options. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for something casual and I’ll probably be returning to try other dishes. I ordered the waffle combo with eggs, bacon and hash browns.

A out of the way diner, located by the railway in the city of Ocoee. In December, I found the place by accident . They had a catfish lunch special list on the board by the cash register. It came with a vegetable beef soup, some American fries, and some coleslaw. The soup was great. The rest of the food was good allso. If I'm ever in the neighborhood, I will go back and try some of the other food.

Don’t order online if you expect your food to be ready on time. I arrived 10 minutes after my pickup time, and my order wasn’t even in the system, they had to enter it manually. Writing this as I wait for my food. Will update after I eventually eat. Update: I was told it would be a 5 minute wait for my food (I was skeptical). Waited more than 15 minutes. Fortunately, the food was delicious and the staff was friendly.

Friendly atmosphere with a small town diner feel. Service was good but the flavors were lacking, unfortunately. Ordered the biscuits and gravy, eggs, and a smoked sausage. Plate was nicely assembled so I'm not complaining about presentation or appeal but the gravy was flavorless and the biscuits weren't anything special. The sausage was nice but I'm pretty sure it's store bought so can't really give them credit for it I guess. Other than that it's a nice little family diner.

We went on a Sunday at 12:40 pm with a family of 5. We waited for a minute until they told us we could seat ourselves. We sat at a booth and waited for service, menus, etc. we waited for about 6 minutes. Another table came and sat behind us. 2 minutes later, the staff walked right by us - greeted them, gave them menus, and took their drink orders. We got no service - they acted as if we were inconveniencing them for trying to eat at their establishment. We walked out to go somewhere else that would give us service. Extremely disappointing.
