Mo's Diner
Quick info
About Mo's Diner
Set on an industrial estate in Totton, Southampton, Mo's Diner is an old-school truck-stop-style cafe built around all-day fry-ups. Breakfast runs right through the opening day, with a cup of tea alongside for anyone eating in, and plates arrive freshly cooked and sized large enough that finishing one is a challenge. A hot lunch menu runs alongside, and the kitchen also puts together food orders for meetings, with veggie and pescatarian options covered. Ordering happens at the counter on a walk-in basis, so no booking is needed. The diner works Monday to Saturday in the daytime and stays closed on Sundays. Takeaway suits anyone taking a fry-up or lunch back to work, and parking on site serves drivers pulling in off the estate.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is what reviewers return to most, with the all day breakfast and the fry up singled out as freshly cooked, piping hot and huge, to the point that one diner's son could not finish it and another says bigger plates would be needed to fit more on. Close behind is value for money, mentioned repeatedly, along with friendly staff and quick service. Reviewers also note a choice of hash browns or fried bread, a hot lunch menu worth trying, and a regular clientele from nearby workplaces who have come for years. One reviewer says the kitchen handles meeting orders and accommodates vegetarians and pescatarians. The one critical voice calls the food tasty but the portions small for an American style diner, counting the chips in the bowl, and finds it on the expensive side for an evening meal. Several reviewers say they would recommend it, and one regular describes it as old school, truck stop style.
