"Definitely a place to stop for lunch in Thomasville! While the hours are 10:30-2:30, it starts getting packed by 11 am! The fried chicken, banana pudding, and veggies are just like you would taste at a family reunion! For $15, you get all you want to eat and drink!! It was a pleasure to sit down and enjoy the Market Diner. I will most certainly be back the next time Im in town!!"

"OMG! They have the best vegetables. I'm not much of a meat eater so this is just the place for me. Every green they had was awesome. I could go in there for just the turnips. My waitress was awesome too. I love this place and go there every visit to Thomasville."

"Everything was so good! The homemade peach cobbler was my favorite thing on the bar, but that being said everything else I ate was also my favorite lol I danced in my seat with every bite. The worst thing about it is that I don't live closer, because I'd eat here every week. I'll be dreaming about it until next time"
