There’s something about a good diner that makes a motorcycle rider feel like they’ve found the end of the rainbow—and at the Triple Nickel Diner in Chesterhill, Ohio, that rainbow ends in a plates of eggs, pancakes and burgers…Oh and homemade pie.
Talking with the staff the diner works to get as much as possible from the local community. It is a real farm to folk operation.
Location: Triple Nickle Diner on Ohio 555
Nestled on High Street, just off the winding curves of Ohio State Route 555 (aka the “Triple Nickel”). It can be easy to miss as their roadside sign blends into the local background a little too much.
The diner is about 100 yards off the main road in Chesterhill. The parking lot was a mix of small gravel and cinder and is not much of an issue the average motorcycle rider.
This cozy roadside gem is more than just a pit stop—it’s a pilgrimage. If you’re riding the 555 and not stopping here, you’re doing it wrong.
The Food
This isn’t your kale-and-quinoa and small portions kind of joint. This is comfort food with a capital “C.” Again all locally sourced as much as possible.
Breakfast Highlights:
- Eggs your way
- Garden omelets
- French toast made with locally baked bread
Lunch & Dinner Favorites:
- Black Angus burgers
- Bison burgers for the bold
- Steak, lamb, and meatloaf—again, as local as it gets
On our visit, we rolled in for breakfast. I went with the egg, sausage, and jalapeño omelet, paired with toast and home fries. Fresh, flavorful, and exactly what a rider needs after a morning of throttle therapy.
Also, we know the pies are homemade, a guy in a pickup was delivering the pies while we ate. Of course we had to try a slice of warm apple pie.
Overall Thoughts
The Triple Nickel Diner isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to arrive. It’s where the ride meets the reward, and where every bite feels like a high-five from the road itself. So next time you’re carving up the 555, make the stop. Your stomach—and your soul—will thank you.
BUT – Hours Matter: Closed Monday and Tuesday and opens at 11AM for lunch on Wednesdays. Plan accordingly or risk heartbreak.
I JUST WANT 2 RIDE!!
