Welcome to The Diner Vancouver — where every meal supports something larger.

We’re your neighborhood spot for breakfast favorites, signature sandwiches, and the best eggs benedict in town.

But here’s what makes us different:

Every bite you take helps fight hunger and social isolation for older adults in our community.

We’re owned and operated by Meals on Wheels People, a nonprofit that delivers more than 25,000 meals each week to older adults in the Portland metro area and southwest Washington. When you dine with us, your dollars support that mission.

We believe in dignity, community, and good food — and we’re proud to be a place where all generations can gather, connect, and give back.

Skip the tip. Feed a neighbor.

Our staff are paid a livable wage. Instead of tipping, you can donate toward the cost of a meal for someone in need.

Reviews

  • This restaurant feels like something you would find in Palm Springs and that's what makes it so great.

    It is the definition of a diner. We had breakfast there both dishes and the Coffee Cake were delicious. They even serve Relevant coffee which is another great local place. We definitely plan on going back...

  • This place has it all: good food, great service and a mission to help out the community.

    What more could you ask for?! The prices are very reasonable. They are definitely welcoming to all types of people. I enjoyed the veggie scramble. The pancakes were a hit with the whole crew.

  • The best service I've ever had.

    The employees are extremely kind and take good care of their customers. Added more gravy to my go cup and asked if we wanted a refill of our drinks to go. Food was phenomenal as well! Portions were huge! Overall a very great experience and I left very happy.

  • Delicious pancakes and sausage.

    The waitress was very nice and my food was brought out to my car quickly and still very hot. Sad to be moving away from this gem!
