WAVERY, OH | Tucked in downtown Waverly, Ohio, Maddy’s Diner 23 (formerly known as Diner 23) transports visitors straight to the 1950s with its retro vibe and homemade comfort food. A recent local spotlight on social media raved about the spot, calling it a must-try for its “Nostalgic Era” atmosphere and weekend buffets.

Located at 300 W Emmitt Ave along US Route 23, this 50’s-style diner serves up classic American favorites—all made in-house. Breakfast is available all day, but the real draw is the Saturday breakfast buffet and Sunday lunch buffet, packed with hearty options that keep regulars coming back.

Under new ownership since early 2024 (now run by Jamie and Charlie Maddy), the diner maintains its beloved charm while offering burgers, hand-cut fries, all-day breakfast, and desserts like hand-dipped cones. Reviews praise the friendly service, clean space, and reasonable prices—earning solid ratings on Tripadvisor and Yelp.

As one community post put it: “The regulars already know.” Next time you’re cruising through southern Ohio, pull over for a bite and soak in the nostalgia. Maddy’s Diner 23 proves some classics never go out of style. Stop by and see why locals love it! 🥤🍔
