About Washington Street Diner

It's more than a meal; it's a ministry! See our story for details.

Washington Street Diner Description

The Washington Street Diner has been part of Athens’ downtown commerce for many years, but ownership and operation has more recently been transferred to Friendship Church. Friendship’s mission for the Diner is to provide the community with a place to enjoy a cooked-to-order Southern breakfast and great fellowship with neighbors, while providing food service training to the short term employees. Some of the Diner’s employees are short term because once they have completed their training, they find permanent employment in the food service industry using their newfound skills. Then another person steps in to begin the training process, and the cycle continues. One of the goals of the church is to help people in the community overcome generational poverty through education and job training, implementing that old adage that states: “Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime. ”
The Diner also houses all the food donations for The Full Tummy Project (friendshipumc.org/fulltummy), a ministry of Friendship Church that addresses childhood hunger on a local level by providing bags of food for at-risk students in the Athens School system to take home over the weekend.
Through the Diner, the community of Athens /Limestone County is helping to give folks a second chance at life, allowing them the opportunity to gain a skill that will help them to take care of themselves and their families. This is the love of Christ, this is the hands and feet of Jesus at work.

The coffee at Washington Street Diner was decent, but the staff at 100 East Washington Street, Athens, Alabama 35611 could be more attentive. While I enjoyed the coffee itself, the service was lacking in terms of attentiveness. It's the small details that make a difference.

What a fantastic discovery Washington Street Diner was! I found this charming little cafe nestled in [Neighborhood], and it instantly became my go-to spot for a quiet morning escape.
