Buckeye Express Diner

First time and last time there. It’s a one and done kind of place. The man taking orders whom the waitress told me was the owner/boss. White hair and beard is rude. Rude to me for asking about ice water. Many places sells bottled water but also has tap. How dare I ask. Won’t happen again sir I guarantee you that. I wouldn’t come back for a free meal. Rude looks given to someone’s kid who accidentally overflowed his drink cup. The sign about refills being a courtesy is very unwelcoming especially after selling us such a small cup for drinks in the first place which we had to run back and forth 3 times for a refill. No wonder that kid got a nasty look for wasting a little pop. I so much wanted to leave a full cup of pop on the table when I left but I’m too decent to do so. Fries was greasy and soggy. Clearly cooked in an oil temp that was too low. The buns can’t hold up to the burger or hotdog. Part of the hotdogs bun was hard. The Mac and cheese was odd colored and nothing to write home about. The Mountain Dew was awesome. We didn’t waste the food because it was alot of money. Way more than planned from the last menu we seen online. Most things was $10 and now $12.50ish. The place smelled like an old musty antique store which was to be expected but the more we looked around the more we had to stop looking. There was an AC unit above us but it wasn’t on it was very dirty looking anyways but it was hot and stuffy. No AC or air circulation at all. My to go lid was laid food side down on the table. Which is gross in a public place. We made the best of it but the businesses in Belleville needs to find a better credit card company. We paid cash to not be charged a percentage of our meal on top of tax but another place in town also charges that same % on top of tax and we was charged it even though we paid with cash at that place. Unheard of but two different places charges this. We never ever ever looked at the negative reviews for this place the high rating was enough. However once we left I began looking at the negative reviews and much was our experience to a T even with the same rude man and experience. Won’t be back. I could say it was a bad day and give another chance but the reviews that was negative went back at least two years of the same experience we had. So that tells me this is what to expect. Money is stretched tighter now days. I will give money to who appreciates their customers and the customers kids as this should have been fun and kid friendly at the very least.

In from out of town and this Diner popped up. I’m glad it did! I ordered the Brutus Philly Beef and my son got the cheeseburger kids meal. The fries are so delicious and homemade! And they give you SO MUCH FOOD! My sandwich had lots of fillings inside and it was enormous! My son enjoyed his meal as well. Not sure if the lad that took our order was the owner or not but he was very friendly! I would recommend this diner. I think we will have to go back before we leave and order desert! 😋

Buckeye Express Diner is such an awesome experience! What a fun place to grab lunch. The view from inside of the cart is pretty nice. The food taste great and it comes out fairly fast, all the staff there is beyond amazing and super friendly. I definitely enjoy eating here every time I pass through town!

Decent place to get a bite to eat! Definitely an area legend, been there ever since I can remember. Super friendly staff, and pretty decent food! It Is a tad pricey but other than that I'd say check it out.
