Gina’s Place

It is a diner, good for what it is, possible hangout for local old timers, but not a place to seek out. We had breakfast. Eggs, bacon, home potatoes with onion toast. Husband had pancakes. Prices were very reasonable, cash only. People seemed nice. Everything was good enough. If you’re travelling and on a tight budget, this would be a decent stop. Nothing, though, was spectacular. No complaints.

If you want great food with nothing but smiles, go to Gina’s Place. She is the kindest, sincere, and most down to earth woman you’ll ever meet.

Super tiny restaurant but the food is great. We both had breakfast and two drinks for under $ 12 which is a steal for most places. I would say that you couldn’t fit more than 20 people in there and 15 of the 20 probably know each other somehow.

Nothing special or fancy, but it has simple food for a simple price. Gina is really nice.

we tried this little diner Saturday morning, it is small but big on friendliness and breakfast was tasty. The owner came by and checked on us, she apoligized for the delay, they were training a new cook. Gina’s is a Diner (the real deal) but dont look for roast beef /​mash potatoes/​gravy, or hash, this place is all about breakfast and friendly chit chat.

Cute little breakfast and lunch spot where you’ll find the same friendly faces serving the 7 tables and 8 barstools to the loyal and happy customers they have been gaining throughout the years.
We’ve only ever came here for breakfast, but the portions are right, the food is great and coffee is hot.
Don’t be afraid to walk into this tiny little diner. They are as welcoming to the shy newcomers as they are to the regulars that fill up seats for hours.

Food is great. Parking lot is small, but there’s plenty of parking around the area. Please note, cash only. There’s an ATM across the street at the gas station, though. I got a huge omelet, two pancakes, and home fries for like seven dollars. Can’t beat that.

Ever see a place that looks like a tiny little dive but it’s constantly packed with cars and you figure it must have outstanding food? Well, that’s Gina’s. Food is always delish. Gina is always there serving and knows everyone. Best Bacon and hash browns around! It’s slow so if you’re in a hurry, probably not the best idea to stop. But it’s slow because there are so many orders ahead of yours because the food is great and super reasonably priced.
They only take cash, close at noon or 1, and are not open on Sundays.

I was craving a good classic breakfast. I was driving by and this small restaurant’s parking lot was packed. I was willing to give it a shot. When I walked in, I found this cute little hole in the wall restaurant. It is pretty small, but packed with smiling faces (of mostly retired men).
Price: The food is super cheap! I spent $ 6 and got coffee, 2 eggs, home fries, toast, 3 slices of bacon. There were even more specials like oatmeal, pancakes, steak and eggs. Everything on their menu is under $ 6.
They do also serve some lunch specials (burgers, salads)
Food: The food was good! It was the classic breakfast I was craving. A little greasy. But so good. The home fries were wonderful. They were crunchy on the outside and fluffy potato on the inside.
Service: It was great. My coffee never got more than half way empty. The one older waitress was so sweet! She made me feel so welcome. I felt like a regular even though this was my first time. There were so many people here who knew each other. They meet for breakfast every morning. The waitresses know their regular order. It just felt like a place I wanted to go to. Felt like home.

This is the best place in Fairview for breakfast or lunch. Remember it’s a diner not a big chain restaurant. I’m sure you can find better food, or cheaper prices, but you will not find a better staff or atmosphere. Don’t get me wrong the food is wonderful. You will not find a better diner in the state of ohio… period.
The food quality is great, but it’s not just about the food. This place is about the family atmosphere. The owner/​operator, Gina, is very friendly and makes you instantly feel like a regular.
This place is a landmark of Fairview. It’s the type of place you will want to eat breakfast at daily and stop back for lunch.
Food prices are more than reasonable. Everything is great quality.
In today’s world it’s rare to find a small gem that keeps things simple. This place would fit in Mayberry perfectly.

Old fashioned diner. Delicious food that took a while to come out as its prepared to order. Gina’s super sweet.
