Diners are among my favorite places to eat. Food with a home-cooked flair without messing up your kitchen is, let us be frank, almost always a win. That is why I love North County diners. The experience is like dining with family and friends because the staff comes to know you, often on a first-name basis.
Each diner has its own unique vibe and special touches that make it a go-to for locals. You can sit back, relax, enjoy homey vibes, and have a good laugh surrounded by good company and good food. So do your tastebuds a favor and stop in at one of North County’s favorite diners.

Honey Bee Diner
Retro, friendly, and newly renovated, Honeybee Diner is an old-time favorite of North County diners. Ask the locals, and they will argue that Honey Bee has the best eggs, grits, and potatoes in the county. Whether the latter is true is up to your taste buds to decide. Priding themselves on good, speedy, and friendly service, homemade desserts, and a full menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes that are sure to delight your palate- Honeybee Diner is a must.

Ann’s Dari-Creme
North County locals would say Ann’s Dari-Creme has the best soft-serve ice cream in town hands-down for 70 years and counting. Rain, sun, sleet, or snow, you will often find the quaint parking lot of Ann’s Dari-Creme full and a line of patrons outside the door waiting anxiously for ice cream, fries, milkshakes, and footlong chili dogs. Loyal customers and new customers alike come from all over these United states for an Ann’s footlong or a dozen or even two dozen. Why? Because Ann’s Dari-Creme is a community within itself. Everyone is family, no matter if you are the person behind the counter serving up good food or the person at the counter eating it.
