Long wait for food but that's the only complaint. Coffee refills on time during the wait. American fries really done right. Ham & cheese omelette was filled with ham. The ham & egg sandwich was also done perfectly with good portions of all ingredients. Waitress was apologetic about the wait & recognized we had been seated before another table got their breakfast. It's located in an old fast food building, standard diner of today.

Our favorite breakfast place! Chicken fried steak and Mexican skillet are fantastic. Come as you are - it's very casual and comfortable. A local restaurant that consistently delivers on a variety of menu selections, great waitstaff, and delicious food.

Came for breakfast, really great service and pretty great food. Really BAD coffee! However, it seems that every restaurant in Clinton serves the same awful coffee. We really wanted to try this place for dinner, and they have a decent dinner menu. But, they aren't actually open for dinner

An at-home feel diner with an extensive menu. Can't decide what to have for dinner? One kid wants burgers and the other wants breakfast? Hungover and need some coffee and a good ol' gravy biscuit? Old Town is your place. I won't say anything I've tried yet has been some crazy show stopper, Instagram worthy meal, but sometimes that's what's so nice about it. It's consistent, it's tasty, and the staff are great. Your coffee cup will never be empty unless maybe if you drink it like a cactus at a watering hole. Food is always hot. Ask for Tapatio with your hashbrowns instead of Tabasco and thank me later.

Stopped in here for some breakfast with some coworkers, and it was BUSY. Full disclosure, it's taken me this long to review it (it got lost on my review list) so this was prior to COVID, I'm not sure how things are now, but they had us packed in there like sardines! The service was okay, what you would expect from a small town diner on a busy morning. Coffee was typical diner coffee. Food was typical diner food (probably frozen/in a can prior). Prices were extremely affordable and portions were huge (I couldn't finish my breakfast), but I often expect this at little diners! Overall, nothing special - your typical small town diner, but there's definitely a time and place for these kinds of spots and it was thoroughly enjoyed!
