Love this local diner honoring not only famous Shirleys, but our female veterans as well! It's off the main Rt. 80 and well-worth the detour. The breakfast menu and meals were generous, hot and fresh - coffee tasted so delicious, freshly brewed and great quality. We were traveling and didn't want to stop at a 'chain' restaurant and Shirleys was perfect! Such an honor to all our veterans! Veterans day honors to you all.

Great, local spot for a quick and tasty breakfast. Staff are kind and the prices are right!

The food is delicious. The service is excellent. The atmosphere was good. Great price for the quality of the food. We beat the Sunday morning rush, but it would have been worth the wait anyway.

I was traveling along Highway 90 and I put a Google search in for homestyle breakfast. Not far off the highway I went to Shirley's and had a fantastic breakfast I was a little early it wasn't that busy and the service was very quick and prompt. Very friendly staff thankful that I got a chance to visit

Servers are always great and the food is quick to come out and always good. My only complaint is it's not big enough for all the people that want to eat there. It's very popular!

I ordered the #1 breakfast platter. The food was amazing! The service was wonderful and the establishment is very cute. There were a lot of “regulars” and you can tell the wait staff appreciate them all.

Great food very nice workers and good prices if you like breakfast it's a must go to

First time here. Everything was top notch! We had the Shirley burger and Greek burger with fries and cottage cheese. Yummy! The service was amazing and our waitress Kathy went above and beyond from the time we walked in to sitting down and eating. We will definitely be back. We highly recommend Shirley’s to family and friends.
