  We have lived and passed by this restaurant for years.
  We decided to stop in on a Sunday morning because it didn't look like they were real busy and we were in a hurry.
  The outside could use some maintenance and a fresh coat of paint. (That may be the reason we never stopped in before. Usually the outside dictates what you see on the inside.)
  But to our surprise, the inside is clean with that old home town diner atmosphere.
  The menus could be updated but everything else was really great.
  The waitresses were on their game. They took our order fast and our food came out quick and hot.
  By the time we were done with our breakfast the place was packed.
  This is our second time here and we will definitely be back.
  We will be here to try the dinner soon.
  Dilars is a gem in this community and I'm sorry we haven't tried it sooner.
  One last thing.
  The prices are really fair and are better than the chain restaurants.

  It was ok
  Nothing special with their food or service
  Coffee was very weak
  Keep going and find another breakfast location in Richmond

  I just had to write about this unassuming Gem of Richmond. This is an all-around great restaurant, family friendly, great service, and of course, great home-cooked food!! We usually have the roasted chicken with French onion soup. It's soooo good!!
  The wait staff is very friendly and attentive.
  If you are in the area, you will not regret visiting these fine people and enjoying the wonderful food.

  The food was fair. Nothing that I would say was fantastic. I didn't like that their menu said grilled chicken sandwich but looked like was cooked on a frying pan. Food was blah, fries were oily but try. It's a been there tried that kinda place I would not try again.

  I've lived in small towns for awhile, and little diners are usually the best places to go. Both inside and out looked recently done, yet still had the feel of a mom and pop type joint. I went inside unsure of whether I would be seated or it was self seating, as there was no sign or host stand. So I waited patiently for one of the two waitresses to assist me which was within a minute or two.
  After being sat, it was another several minutes before I was greeted and had my drink order taken, and by that time I was ready to place my full order. My drinks stayed fairly full, and the waitress checked on me just enough, as I didn't really want to be bothered a whole lot during my dinner.
  My first appetizer was the cup of chili with cheese that came with my entree. Now while I think I may just be overly selective on my chili, I felt this one made sense for midwestern food as it almost had a sweet flavor in with the spices. It was hearty, and I could appreciate that for sure.
  Shortly after the chili, my onion rings with ranch arrived. The cup displayed the letter "k" on the lid and I'm still trying to figure out what it means. The onion rings were battered, came out super hot (as did everything else), and a generous portion. I decided to get creative and use the chili as a dip, solid idea, highly recommend.
  Last came the broccoli and shells entree, which had a garlic olive oil sauce with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, and I felt chicken would be a solid addition to the meal. The chicken had good texture, the broccoli and noodles were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delightful. The piece of Texas toast that accompanied it was just the right amount of crispy, although there wasn't enough sauce to dip the bread. Thankfully, it was garlic bread so I enjoyed it nonetheless. I look forward to visiting again soon and being able to make this a regular spot for my family.
