What customers say about us

Kelly

Stopped here for breakfast while passing through the Hannibal, Missouri area. Absolutely loved the small town ambiance - locals chatting across tables and food portions like the good old days. Staff was awesome!

Matt S

Classic design, great burgers and fries, decent order wait time (15-25 minutes for 3-4 people), and friendly service. Since this diner is located right on one of the main roads in town, it may be difficult to find close parking if the place is busy. Overall a great place for breakfast or lunch.

Run-A-Way Bill

The “Becky Thatcher’s Diner” is a rare delightful local-eatery find in a world of corporate food-chain dominance. The quality of the good & super portions are delivered at a fair price. The servers are professional and diverse smiles with every meal. I highly recommend the “Becky Thatcher’s Diner” for breakfast and/or lunch. “Great River Road” diner … “Run-A-Way Bill” was here! … and will return (often) 05.01.25 Thursday (most recent visit)

Amanda Fuston

Amazing little find! Can’t miss it with the big sign. Here visiting from out of town and we were lucky to eat here. Busy the whole time we were there. Hubby had the double with cheese & house chips. I had the black bean burger, and it was pleasantly amazing! Even the hubby liked the burger and he’s a meat guy. We also split an order of onion rings, loved the batter. Very tasty. We’d highly recommend this place and if we’re ever back would stop in to try breakfast as well.

What a unique diner it's like stepping back into 1950 1960. Food was good and so was the service. Bathrooms were clean and so was the restraunt
