This is the Burger Man with Best Burgers in America Association and enjoying National Cheeseburger Day. I was invited to Mawmaw's Diner to review their burger, and wow, they checked all six boxes to earn a great score. Fresh, never-frozen, hand-patted out patties. I got the Double Classic Cheeseburger. Great burger, great customer service. small town touch with big time flavors.

Love this family Diner. They treat you like one if their own. The food is good and the prices are better then similar type establishments in the area. The are family owned and operated and really care about their customers and their own. Have recommended them several times and will continue to do so. Just love seeing the grandkids there as they just a joy.

If you walk in their door during breakfast hours and don't try the pancakes, you have just cheated yourself out of a wonderful breakfast experience. My opinion is that they are the best pancakes available, PERIOD.

Was at Maw Maws last Friday, atmosphere was awesome, especially getting to see the granddaughter there, interacting with the customers. She was not bothering them. Maw Maws is a family oriented restaurant. We are always greeted with a friendly Hello. The food is always awesome. Plenty on your plate to get full. We love getting to talk with maw maw when she is not busy in the kitchen cooking. Jasmine is always a delight to talk to and Buddy as well. Again if you want a Home cooked Meal and a great conversation, go to Maw Maws.
