I had the pleasure of dining at Downstairs Diner recently, and it was a delightful experience! 🍽️ Nestled in the basement of East Lake United Methodist Church, their $7 lunch special is a steal.

I enjoyed a hearty meal of baked chicken, perfectly seasoned veggies, and a sweet slice of dessert - simple comfort food done right. The atmosphere is casual yet welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a quick lunch or solo meal.

And kudos to the staff for their friendliness! If you’re in the area, this gem is definitely worth a visit! ✨
