Midland Restaurant

Midland is one of the last great Americana diners in the area, with a particular focus on their breakfast which is wildly popular with the locals. Biscuits, gravy, bacon, and coffee are standard fare. What you won't find is a lot of vegetarian substitutes or breakfast mimosas, but Midland doesn't pretend to cater to that crowd. The prices are very reasonable and the wait times to be seated are only long [maybe 15 minutes?] during peak hours. The waiting area is a choke point for the bathrooms and the exit so prepare to stand up and be in somebody's way since the few seats available are traditionally offered to the elderly or people with small children. Some of the tables are quite close together [but always clean] and I would consider bringing a light jacket since parts of the restaurant can be downright frigid. Easily seen from the main road and plenty of parking. Friendly and accommodating staff. If you're visiting the area on vacation, do yourself a favor and stop here for breakfast.

Absolutely great! Great food, huge servings, low prices. Even have 100 on their health inspection! Staff are friendly yet efficient! In case you haven't guessed, I recommend this place.

Not a place I'll return to. After a 25 minute wait for our food to come out, my bacon was burnt, my Frenchtoast used the skinniest pieces of bread ive ever seen and it was cooked so long it was actually tough and chewy. It was served with obviously watered down syrup. The hubby had scrambled eggs which were also very well done, bacon that was just as burnt as mine, biscuits that were delicious - tall and flaky without being dough inside - and gravy so bland my never-add-salt hubby was salting and peppering just to get SOME flavor. Service was fine. This is an older place that's obviously got a following by the locals - lots of patrons seemed to know each other and the servers very well. Not a place for us. We won't be back.

Best place in ALL of Maryville to eat! All of the employees are wonderful, too... though Tina is my favorite! Try the macaroni and cheese; you won't be disappointed!

We moved here 4 months ago from Knoxville. We've been meaning to try it, and we finally did. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!!!! It took a while to get our food, but that's because it is so busy. Well worth the wait. Perfectly done eggs. Excellent breakfast. We are stuffed.
