OMG!!! MUST EAT HERE! I visited with family last week! Absolutely LOVE this place!! Wish I had known about Walkers earlier but now I do and I WILL be back!! Best food!! Fresh, flavorful, friendly staff!! Can't ask for anything better... Oh, did I mention they also have a bar??!!! Aahhhh!!!

This place is bar none, amazing. The food is good. It's good at what it's good for, the Diner serves up hot and fast, like a diner is supposed to. But, there is a very special aspect to this place that you will not find in many others. I stopped in to meet some friends, with me was my one year old son. My friends were late and my kid wanted food, so I fed him. The entire time, the servers took turns entertaining my son. When I had to change him, they took turns watching the latrine door, even the other patrons stepped in. After my friends showed up, we ordered. My son was restless in the chair and the server offered to watch him wander around the place. She took good service to another level. The people there, staff and regulars, are exceptional. They are a stand alone establishment when it comes to how they treat their customers. Everyone is treated like they are the only ones there, such a nice home town restaurant.

Such a great family atmosphere. These guys really care about their customers and the food they put out. Amazing service and great food.

This diner speaks for itself in terms of service, there was a very large crowd when we went. The waitress was lovely, personable, and attentive. Even though they were a little behind, we never felt put off as she was coming by regularly with updates and refills. The food was good, much like many diner foods you find. I had the omelet, which was a tad bit thin and I had wished for more because it tore so easily I couldn't really get a good bite, but I couldn't really complain with how busy they were. Its really a no-frills type of place, but the food is good and hot and the service was great--I would recommend it.

Cool little grill right outside of Danville. Buffalo chicken wrap was delicious. The sweet potato fries with honey butter pushed it over the top. I will definitely be back.

Ordered takeout September 10, 2025…first time customer…..lady taking the order was very knowledgeable about the menu….also very courteous. The meatloaf was out so I got hamburger steak, mashed potatoes and pinto beans….also two biscuits. THIS IS OUTSTANDING HOME COOKED COMFORT FOOD AT ITS BEST. FLAVORFUL AND DELICIOUS. SUPERIOR SERVICE. Walker’s Roadside Grill is TOPS.
