I’m normally not a diner person, but this may have been the best meal I’ve ever had. The peach cobbler is probably the best thing I’ve ever tasted! Staff was lovely, the diner is super cute, and it was an absolute steal price-wise. Highly recommend!

Friendly people and excellent food. Big Time Diner is definitely a hidden gem here in Mobile. I highly recommend dining there, especially if you're hungry. You can just tell them that Larry sent you. 😉
