Breakfast and service is great! Good food and presentation, very reasonable. Service makes you feel like u are in a friend's kitchen. Ambience is casual and comfortable.

Great place for breakfast! Banana chocolate bread was so good! As was my scramble and my fiancés hash. There was a wait as it's fairly busy on Saturday mornings. Service was good too.

Stopped in for lunch while out on our motorcycle. Food was delicious and the service was very good. Right in the center of town with indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend.

Great place for breakfast! Friendly staff and tasty food! Come early on weekends! Need more characters!

Galena Diner is hands down my favorite local spot to eat! I usually get the turkey melt every time as it's my favorite! It's so good and the fries are good. I sometimes try out the specials and I've also tried some soups. Nothing has disappointed me. I also always grab a slice of the chocolate dream cake! So good!! You walk in and get seated by a waitress, they're always quick and friendly. The place is small but it has such a small town vibe to it that makes it really nice. I am always willing to go eat there and will always recommend it!

Last week, after riding the Heart of Ohio bike trail, my wife and I stopped in for lunch at the Galena Diner. We both ordered dinner salads which were large, fresh and VERY good! We looked around and saw several people had ordered the fish & chips----WOW! It made us wish that we'd ordered that, instead-----HUGE portion of fish with, what appeared to be, a goodly amount of hot, freshly cut fries. We noticed that their Thursday evening "Blue Plate Special" is PRIME RIB. This being one of my favorite foods we decided to plan on going back on a Thursday evening to give it a try. Tonight was the night that we decided to go back. WOW!!!! We were MAJORLY impressed. The asparagus was roasted and seasoned to PERFECTION, the BAKED (not mice-waved!) potato was buttered and had a small amount of sour cream on it (perhaps could have used just a bit more of each) and the prime rib was OUT OF THIS WORLD----nice sized portion, medium rare and seasoned just right. The meat was so tender I could cut it with my fork! We ordered a slice of Hummingbird cake (a lovely spice cake) to take home. The service was as we had found it to be during our lunch visit: pleasant and attentive (but not overly so). We have decided we're going try to make it out to the Galena Diner fairly regularly----it's DEFINITELY worth the trip!

Food is great when they don't over salt it! I think one of their cooks must be a smoker because smokers have a list of taste.

I heard a few people recommend this place, and I didn't have high expectations. For a diner I think it's great! I came for lunch and ordered the fish sandwich with fries and coleslaw. I was pleasantly surprised by the fish, it's not your typical frozen fish sandwich. I enjoyed it! The coleslaw doesn't seem stir bought but pretty fresh. My husband ordered the pancakes. They were pretty good as well. Service was great! Had to wait 15 minutes for a table. I can definitely see us coming here again, it's a nice casual place.

Everything I ask for in a diner. Diner often means(read in your moms voice or a friends mom when you were a kid) "mom, I'm hungry" "What do you want?" "I don't know. Pizza" "We don't have pizza I'll make you a sandwich" "Uh, ok I was hoping maybe...." "Do you want the sandwich or not ?" "Sure" "Ok sit down and don't make a mess" That's a diner. This wasn't that. This was a lovely young lady smiling and asking how my day was going. Then checking back in quickly with some water. Then allowing me to ask her to choose. Then the cook looking back to make sure I enjoyed it. And it was quick. And it was delicious. And I'm sitting in the truck thinking about how good it was. My water even came with a lemon. I'm good and will be back. Did I mention the bathroom was spotless and had very nicely displayed little decor on the shelf. Yeah. I'll be back.
