My husband and I just happened upon Dan's I-30 Diner. What a find!! From the decor, food and staff, all totally amazing. Portions are large. Pancakes are fluffy. Bacon is just right. Never had to ask for refills. It was great. AND THE STAFF... icing on the cake. You can tell they enjoy their work. The staff should give tutorials on YouTube on how to serve the public. Everyone was so friendly. They greeted you like they have known you forever. Great home feel. My husband and I stayed in Benton for 3 days and ate breakfast there every morning. Dan's I-30 Diner has IHOP, and Cracker Barrel beat hands down. April served us every morning. She is wonderful. So if you're passing through Benton, AR, you need to visit Dan's I-30 Diner. You won't regret it. 🥰

Felt like I was going to a generic local diner but I was dead wrong! The food was delicious and looked phenomenal. Our server was very attentive probably had my water cup filled 5 times in 15 minutes without asking once. Easy 5 stars

Excellent food. Cooked fast but tasted delicious. My favorite is the skillet potatoes. The service was extremely friendly. I will be back.

Wow!! So good! Looks a little rough on the outside, but the service and food is fantastic! Prices are more than reasonable for the amount of food you get! My wife & I live in Benton, and we recently discovered this place! This is our new go-to breakfast spot!

Nice place. Large selection on menu. Excellent food and service.

My family and I have been eating at Dan's for years and the food, service, and family environment have always been top notch! We love visiting locally owned diners and Dan's is at the top of the list. You can't go wrong with any breakfast menu item (what we typically always eat there), but their lunch/dinner items look amazing as well.

Incredible! Husband an I split the flatliner omelete with skillet potatoes and biscuit with gravy. Fluffiest omelette I have ever had Potatoes were awesome, and my goodness the biscuits!! Will definitely be stopping if ever in area again.

I30 Travelers, if you are looking for that small town diner feel, this is the place for you. We have been a couple times and the food is awesome. I don't particularly care for their coffee but the omelets are great and you have to try the roasted potatoes. Easy access on and off the freeway. Give them a try if you are needing a break from the road.

The outside of the place looks kind of run down, but the food here is terrific. I had an omelette (the I-30 Flatliner) and grits and it was perfect. The only drawback was how slow the kitchen was. We waited just over an hour for food, and they didn't seem very busy at the time. Fortunately our server kept us topped up on coffee while we waited. I imagine that they're a bit short staffed in the kitchen. I wouldn't stop here if you're in a hurry, but if you just want to chill and have a good brunch, it's a great choice.

Stopped in today for the first time for a breakfast burrito. It was amazing! The owner even came out and welcomed all the guests and asked how they were. We will definitely be coming back.

Great little diner. Friendliest waitresses I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. Food is delicious and priced reasonably. My favorite breakfast spot in the area.

It was very busy and seems to be every day. It was average food. The chili on my omelet was from a can. I would have loved fresh chili. I doubt that I will eat at Dan's again.

1st time to eat here. The Western omelette was more than I could eat. One reviewer said she liked the skillet potatoes, so I got those. My husband got the 18 wheeler with pancakes as large as the plate, eggs and sausage. I liked his hash browns better than the skillet potatoes. It’s an older restaurant, needs a deep cleaning, but for the most part very clean. Great service too. The coffee is amazing!

Great food an service!!!!

Best chicken tenders I’ve ever had in my life !

Great food and service

Very good lunch

Wanted to try local foods lately and stopped at Dan's for Saturday lunch. I ordered chicken fried steak but on Saturday they didn't serve anything but breakfast, sandwiches and salads. So I ordered chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs, hash browns and biscuit and gravy for $9.99. I had time to wander the restaurant to look at all the memorabilia and old pictures before my lunch was served. Everything was hot and delicious. Eggs were fluffy. Biscuit was light and fluffy. Gravy was not as peppery as I like but good. Chicken fried steak stayed hot the entire meal. Great service and friendly staff.

Best breakfast I've had in a while

Great Sunday breakfast place. Nice staff. Dan is in back cooking up good food. Nothing fancy, just good. Huge selection. Worth drive from LIT.

The best in diner food around!!...our waitress Traci was awesome!

We were excited to eat here because several people told us it was good. But after our experience, we will not return. Service was slow with food and service. It took 45 minutes for a dan’s special burger and country breakfast which was eggs, sausage, and biscuits. The only fresh thing was the burger topping, biscuit, and eggs. The burger was not fresh; you could tell and taste it was a frozen patty. It was also dry. The sausage was frozen and was dry as well. Nothing was seasoned, and if you want fries with your burger, you have to pay an additional dollar for frozen fries. So, we resorted to a bag of chips that came with it. We were not impressed and disappointed, especially after we waited so long. $30 meal for two is overpriced for what we received. Also the only thing the kitchen was cooking for lunch was breakfast and burgers. Nothing else was available on the menu

We went there for breakfast and it took forever for the food to come out. It was supposed to be a qui k stop on our way to Indiana from Dallas and it made us lose about one our and a half. The food taste was ok in spite of how good the food looked. Maybe it was the day off for the main chef.

I really like the atmosphere here. They have always been friendly and I've never been disappointed with my omelette.

This is a great restaurant. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. My husband had a Spanish omelet which was big, filling, and very tasty. I got the pancakes which were the best. They were sweet and fluffy. We will definitely be back.

This place is a dump. Filthy inside and out. Broken signs, fixtures, floors are filthy dirty, walls are dirty, building is in shambles. Waited an hour and 20 minutes for food that never showed up and decided to leave and not waste anymore time. Amanda the waitress must have passed by our table 10 times before I asked if our order was on its way. After 15 more minutes I got up and told the lady at the counter I couldn't wait any longer. My suggestion to the owners is: learn to respect new customers and clean up this hole or shut it down. Your restaurant is disgusting and shameful. It makes Waffle House look like a 5 star restaurant. Which probably would have been a better place for breakfast. BTW when you have customers getting up and grabbing their own silverware and serving their own coffee, maybe that's a sign of a way too relaxed atmosphere to dine in.

The biscuits and gravy taste like flour The hash browns had were cold and u could taste the grease....they add baking powder to make the omelette Look fluffy...pancakes great!! The oatmeal is like mush very over cooked!!!!!! Staff was friendly, I spared a picture...looks are deceiving!! Just going by what somebody told me that use to work there far as your omelette 's No Worries...Never Going Back!!! Staff was nice coffee was good

Breakfast is terrific, servers are friendly and attentive, and the coffee hot! Highly recommended for anyone who loves a good home cooked style country breakfast ❤️

It was our first time eating here. Very neutral. Nothing was bad, but Nothing was OMG good either. Had to wait a while to get our order but they gave us a discount, which was nice. But when we got home we didn't have all of our food. I called back and they said they will give us credit for the missing food next time. So like I said, neutral. Not bad, but didn't knock my socks off.

I’ve been here twice. The breakfast is amazing. But both times I’ve been here, I’ve waited well over an hour for my order. So, if you’re in a hurry, you’ll want to go somewhere else. If you have time, eat here . . . but eat a snack before you come.

Stopped in here on a lark. It wasn't bad. The green beans tasted like ham (actually delicious). I got the chicken fried chicken, and it was about a 4 out of 5 as well.

My friend introduced me to Dan's and I have been coming here for breakfast as often as possible, food is great, service is sometimes slow but I understand because it can get very busy. Some people might be turned off by the way it look from the outside, I kinda was myself to be honest the first time but the food and service certainly makes up for it. My wife and I usually grab breakfast after we drop our kid to school, we used to go to IHOP alot but now we come to Dan's instead.

Wonderful place to eat and socialize. Loved seeing all the older stuff around brings back alot of childhood memories. Food was on point and plated to perfection. All around enjoyable experience. Definitely going to be returning

Excellent breakfast. The country fries are delicious. The Southern Benedict could serve 2. But the best thing at Dan's is the staff. All super friendly and efficient.

With the reopening the food was delicious. My only complaint was a waitress did not wear her mask according to CDC guidelines. I observed her wearing the mask under her nose and taking the mask off to talk to customers. I am sure the supervisor can resolve this problem since it has been brought to one’s attention.

best breakfast in Saline County wonderful food and staff..ask for Tracy to serve

We stopped here for the first time for breakfast. It was very busy. Waitresses were working their behinds off! I had the best spinach omelette I have ever had! I didn’t have the other sides that you could get with it and I’m so glad I didn’t. Every bite I had had bacon, onion and gooey cheese and spinach! There wasn’t just a little spoon of it in the middle...it was every bit! And the omelette was the fluffiest omelette I’ve ever had! My husband had chicken fried steak and eggs. He also said his was amazing! He loved the breading on the chicken fried steak. Very good service, busy place and friendly staff. This definitely will be a do again!

love the food my mom works there and while im whating i eat it is so good try the hungry man best food ever.

Wow! We stopped at the IHOP and even though they were only half full, there were 4 families waiting on a hostess. We left and came to Dan's. We walked in and were immediately greeted and got a table. The servers were all friendly and fast!! Now for the food... the food was amazing. The pancakes were about 3/4 of an inch thick. The biscuits were great and the bacon! Yum! Thank you Dan's for the wonderful experience.

The chicken fried steak and gravy were really good.

Wonderful place to eat and the staff always makes you feel at home their

French toast was undercooked . Other than that the food was good

Good spot to drop buy at any time! Very good food and pretty good coffee too! Give their omelets a shot and I promise you will not be disappointed! Also love the location, it's very easy to find right off the highway. Honestly, no complaints at all 🙂

Awesome did great service

The staff was nice and quick with the service. Wait staff knew what you liked to drink. Food was very good.

The best old fashion diner around. My go to spot for good food.

Watters are not only beautiful but friendly as southern people are. The food is the best in town

Dan’s is one of our favorite breakfast places! We love the friendly staff. Each time we go, they have the best customer service. Their omelets are so huge, they could feed two people. Their bacon is always cooked as ordered. Great local diner. It is our favorite breakfast go to.

Great homestyle cooking! Very friendly servers! Best breakfast place I've found in Central Arkansas!
