Go here! I've been coming here for years for breakfast with my family. It NEVER disappoints. The portions are huge and everything is freshly made and wonderful. Even the coffee is good. Get the bab-ba-louie bread - it's homemade and great. There's always a good local crowd here, which means you get to hear all of the good gossip. read more

Great classic diner: hot, delicious coffee, perfectly poached eggs, great hashbrowns, and they even had Tabasco sauce! Will definitely be back if I'm in the area! This was a fantastic diner experience, complete with locals griping at the counter; it was actually fitting and A-OK with me. read more

Birdseye Diner - Diners Near Me - Castleton, Vermont

I've been living in Castleton for the past several months and have dined at the Birdseye several times - both alone and with friends. Come here for good old fashioned comfort food done well in a hometown diner atmosphere: breakfast, lunch or dinner. The staff is always friendly, cheerful, and attentive. $4 Burger Night every Wednesday - totally worth it! You won't be disappointed. read more

EVERYTHING TASTE like it's been microwaved. They will not be scared to tell that they use the microwave more than the stove. Go across the street Third Place is the place. Customer service was great. Food was dog read more

Stopped on a snowy day on the way home from the mountain. Good was great. Service was great. Unlimited coffee for $1.50. Excellent meatloaf. read more

This is a diner I've been coming to since childhood twenty five years ago, and it's only gotten better in that time. The breakfast items are delicious. My girlfriend ordered the special--Oreo Pancakes-- for Sunday brunch. It was amazing. Unlike any other diner, in VT it may be required but it's still amazing to see---they provide a maple syrup jug with real Vermont maple syrup. The staff is very friendly and the most attentive I've seen a wait staff be in a diner. Every 5 minutes or so at least one server comes by and asks us if we need anything. The portions are very generous and quite reasonably priced. I recommend it to anyone. read more

Our favorite breakfast place...lunch a dinner can be pleasantly simple but good. Cooks do cook well and the service is nice and friendly. There is a homie atmosphere. The menu displays a surprising variety of dishes and they serve wine and beer. Also from the same owners, the new Blue Cat Bistro across the street is getting better by the day ( or better at night for dinner) with apparently good pizzas and a short but tasty menu. read more

Had a good breakfast here. While their corned beef hash was canned (always a bummer) my omelette was fabulous. The bread was fresh and local. The service was good and the diner is entirely authentic. And their home fries were homemade and not nasty little fried squares like you sometimes get. We'd totally go back again! read more

We were out for a drive a desided we needed a chocolate malt. The Birdseye is one of the few places in the area that has them. ( many places in VT don't even know what a malt is) The malts here are worth every sip, but be prepared to use your spoon. :) Everyone is friendly which makes the whole adventure a treat. read more

Birdseye Diner - Diners Near Me - Castleton, Vermont

Great, hard working, genuine group of gals working round the clock. The food is OK, but I would say you go more for the relaxation of looking out the windows onto the downtown hustle and bustle of Castleton. The 50/60s style restaurant is a great atmosphere! read more

Great little diner. Not many around anymore. Decent diner food and excellent staff. Exactly what you want, in a small Vermont town.

Classic little diner, good sized portions of classic diner fare, plus some contemporary specials. Hyper local in a small college town.

My husband and i are always looking for a new place. Someone suggested birdseye diner. great place blue buger was awesome and fries were great. my husband had no complaints that a great review in itself. yum yum read more

Birdseye Diner is up there as one of the better breakfast places I've been to and its not only open for breakfast. The setting is great. Right off Main Street in Castleton, the diner is very 70s feeling with a sit down area and a few booths. The food was great and it was filling, while the price was more than fair. The only issue was having to wait over an hour for food. It is a very small place and on Sunday morning it was VERY busy. Definitely worth it if you are not in a rush. read more

Avoid this restaurant, it use to be so much more when I attended CSU nearby. We literally waited 90 minutes for pancakes that were not cooked in the middle. Unfortunately our waitress wouldn't know that because they only time she came back was when she dropped the check. Very overpriced as well, I highly suggest going down the road to Sunrise Family restaurant for a better meal and service. read more

I love the Birdseye diner! Great, nostalgic atmosphere, good food and the sweetest waitresses ever. Take out is also good!

Friendly service, good portions, great flavor, and maple syrup. Ask for the breakfast menu at night if you're looking for it. Cool looking old diner too. read more

You get what you pay for! They are better than all the other places around here! Save your money and go to other places like Denny's or hop n moose, little Harry's or the sandwich diner! Way better for your money! read more

Service is decent, prices are bit high and you can never get a burger cooked the way you want here, and a dollar for a tiny cup or mayo is ridiculous. read more

Been here several times in the past & was always happy with the food. This time the portions were so small we all left hungry! I'm not a big person and always leave food on my plate - not at this diner. Also, We waited for for 45 min for pancakes & eggs. read more

Wife and I went out for breakfast at dinner time. Omelette and French toast were great. Home fries were blah. Good service and nice atmosphere. read more

Great food and very polite waitress. Enjoyed our evening. My daughter and I were on a long vacation across the New England states from Texas. Made us feel at home. Everyone in the diner was so nice and friendly read more

We have been going here forever and a day and I am sad to say my time visiting there may be coming to an end. It was a quiet Saturday night when we arrived two other tables were finishing up and it left our table of two. It took almost 30 minutes to get two hot sandwiches. Then our dining experience was totally ruined by an older waitress who was just so loud and had no filter I really don't care that she was eating broccoli, that her sneakers matched the floor, or cared to watch her swing on the counters while yelling into the kitchen. It was nice to see that the two younger servers knew how to behave and have a conversation without ruining a diners experience maybe she could take a lesson from them.... read more

Real good breakfast. Was looking for oatmeal on the menu, but no luck. Went with the hash and cheese omelet which was good. Service was polite but didn't ever get a refill of coffee which will knock it down a little. I will go back and recommend to friends. read more

Awesome diner for breakfast. Relaxed vibe and good food. For the money it's a great place in the morning.

Disappointing...out of clams, scallops and shrimp- chicken parm not breaded and fried, just microwaved from frozen..cheese melted not browned. Pile of dry spaghetti accompanied the plate. ( what was that???) Husbands fried chicken cold in center...not good. Big changes from 2015 and not favorable. We will not be back. read more

Gross, very dirty, I don't think the kitchen is very clean nor is the potato pealer in the basement.

They advertise on the internet as having some organc food, including organc hamburgers, but when I went, there was no mention of it on the diner-style menu. When I asked the staff, they looked blankly at me apparently not even knowing what organc beef was. There was a sticker on the window indicating that they were part of the "local food network," but again the staff seemed to know nothing about any local produce being offered. The food is exactly what you'd expect from a diner, but don't let their claims on the internet lure you into thinking you'll get a local or organc meal here. read more

Disgusting. We waited 45 minutes for our breakfast to arrive only to receive cold eggs. When we mentioned this to our server she was surly -- almost hesitant to resolve the issue. Also, the owner stopped by on this busy Sunday morning and proceeded to make herself an English muffin right in front of guests without an sanitary precautions. When she licked the knife that was really gross. Makes us want to call the local board if health. Save yourself the time, money and bad attitude and go somewhere else. Yuck. read more

Bad service and bad food. My roast beef dinner was bland and our waitress never returned to ask how our food was. Really disappointed after hearing how good this place was. read more

Had absolutely the worst tuna melt I've ever eaten. The English muffin on which it sat was burned absolutely black, but the tuna and the slab of cheddar on it was cold. How they accomplished this, I don't know. But the only thing I could eat was to scrape the tuna off the burnt muffin and discard the lump of cold cheese. Awful. read more

Best blueberry pancakes in Vermont! I'm a student and come here all the time! Great food, good service, and amazing atmosphere. Love it!

This is one of the only diners left in the area. The food is okay, but the service tends to be a little poor. The atmosphere is very nice, and it's a great place for gathering family and friends. read more

Not impressed with the food preparation of cheese omelette nor homefries. Omelette has bland taste and homefries are not crispy. Not very original. read more

Wish I could comment on the food here but never had the chance. My wife and I decided to give the place a try after work and we walked in because it looked like a nice, cozy diner. We walked in the front door and after standing around for a couple seconds we were greeted by a waitress who definitely should not have been wearing shorts, but unfortunately dared to. She coldly told us to "just sit wherever" in between her loud discussion with another patron. We took a seat at the only booth of the 5 they had and the table wasn't even wiped down. We waited around while two of the gross waitresses walked around blabbering to the male customer very loudly (probably from the same NA group by the looks of it) about nothing while a 3rd waitress was in the kitchen doorway on the phone taking an order. After 3 minutes and no eye contact or sign of receiving menus, a drink or even the table wiped down properly, we got up and walked out. The two waitresses were very rudely ignoring us and shoving their hands down their back pockets while they yammered on to the other patron. I stated "great service" and was still ignored by the useless wait staff. This visit was on 10/09/2017 at about 6:15PM. read more

If you're a diner aficionado, this is a gem of a diner you do not want to pass up. The breakfast specials are great and the atmosphere is very laid back. Pull out the Sunday paper or your iPad , order breakfast, kick back and relax. The service is great and the wait staff extremely friendly. read more

We arrived at the Birdseye this morning for breakfast with our 2 year old son. To our dismay, there was only 1 highchair, and it was in use. We had to track down the waitress after around 10 minutes to take our order. I ordered a cheese omelet, potatoes in a separate dish to feed our son, and bacon. When my order arrived it was a western omelet, with the potatoes in the same dish. When I did get my order, I had to eat while trying to contain my son. I would say for a "family" restaurant, not family oriented at all! What restaurant has only one highchair! read more

Food was ok service was horrible. It wasn't particularly busy and we waited forever to order and our waitress never returned to refill coffee or return a piece of charred food which we asked to have replaced. I would not recommend the Birdseye if you are very hungry or are looking for a quick bite to eat. read more

We are regulars at the Birdseye diner, usually it's very good. Its really sad when you place your order very clear with what you want and it comes with you nothing like what you ordered, Eggs Benedict with bacon soft eggs and crispy home fries. My husband was very clear his sausage was cold last time please let it be hot!! Mine comes with ham and bacon she takes it back she brings it back now the eggs are so hard you can't even cut them. my husband sausage is cold!! so when I told her I don't want it she didn't even really care if I had been the waitress I would have taken a back getting it right and gave it to the customer for free but we've noticed that the people that own this place really don't care about their customers cuz they're so busy it's too bad that Debbie wasn't working she is the best may be a long time before we go back again cuz nobody cares my husband told the waitress my wife is going across the street and get her breakfast at the bakery which I did and I brought it back and SAT there and ate it. read more
