Great family style restaurant. Food was great, staff was amazing. They were very busy and yet service was still very fast. One of those in town gems you hope to find. 10/10 would go back.

Cute little diner with simple options, but the whole staff was killing it, even being short staffed for the day. The place was packed, with people waiting the whole time we were there.

Visited for the first time last Sunday for breakfast and what a pleasant surprise! Attentive staff, very good food, $1 bottomless cup of coffee that was constantly being refilled - I wish we lived near this place, we'd be regulars. We'll absolutely be back during the Rt 127 garage sales week!

What a great little find. Old school little diner in Celina. Everything from when we walked in the door was excellent. Drinks were take as soon as we sat down. No wait at 9am on Saturday. We got there just in time. Fried potatoes perfectly cooked, I added onion and sausage gravy, 2 over med eggs, sausage patty and toast. Very good. Everything was so hot. The coffee was good and hot too. Got refilled without asking. Everyone was very friendly. We will definitely come back when in the area. Thank you Fountain team. See ya next time

We’ve been twice during our visit to Celina and it was a wonderful experience both times. Friendly staff, very fast service, and good food. The daily special meatloaf was excellent, and the burgers and the breakfast food were all great. The kids loved the ice cream that the kids meals came with too, their chocolate ice cream is rich and creamy and delicious. Only note I can think of is that they have only one table for larger parties, and we thankfully were the only large family there, but be aware that if you come with a larger group you may have to be seated at separate tables if the single large table is taken. All in all, highly recommended for a classic diner experience.

You walk in to see a counter with seating for four people, high back, swivel chairs. There’s a diner menu letter board up on the wall, yellow with age, announcing the flavors of milkshakes and ice cream. It’s from the 60s and probably hasn’t changed since they put it up 65 years ago. There’s a whiteboard on the back wall with the special for the day written out. Bacon egg and cheese omelette or a sausage egg and cheese sandwich on toast. Five dollars. The kind of place with a few locals sitting at a booth having their morning coffee, one of the waitresses offering Jim the last donut because they know he will want it. He accepts it. This is, in my mind, a classic American small town diner. The kind of place I grew up, eating in my hometown of 500 people. It’s not high cuisine, there’s nothing fancy about the food although I did come across a few things I had never seen before on the menu. Fried mush. Meat grits specials, like the scuttle butt and the chili Bob. An age old, but perfected recipe of eggs, meat, cheese, and a starch either potatoes ( homefries) or toast. The coffee is weak and not much flavor to it but, to be honest, it’s exactly what you would expect in a place like this and there’s something comforting about that. Honest, simple food made day and a day out, catering to the local crowd and a few roadway, travelers like myself who happen to come across it. There’s a certain charm and depth to places like this that have been lived in day and day out by the same people for decades. For those like up rounded, there’s the nostalgia and connection to the many other people having the same experience day after day in communities across the United States. Forgive me if I wax nostalgia can get a little sentimental here, but this morning‘s dining experience definitely elicited that for me. I hope you can find your own version of this sometime today or in the near future.
