Why do people flock to Thumbs Up Diner? Smoked Meats: All of our Italian Sausage, turkey and chicken is smoked in house at Thumbs Up Diner, giving guests the tastiest and freshest ingredients possible. Fresh Squeezed: Just like grandma made it, all our orange juice and grapefruit juice is 100% fresh squeezed. None of that frozen or concentrated juice around here. Homemade: Southern cooking demands great grits and biscuits and our homemade multi-grain biscuits and stone ground grits are the best as are our homemade jams. Food so good, you would swear that grandma was in the kitchen. Vermont Maple Syrup: Yes our food is unforgettable but so is the flavor of our slow poured 100% pure Vermont Maple Syrup.
