Oh, boy…read more Unfortunately, the "I love this hole in the wall diner" feelings are completely gone. At 9 am on Friday, there should be SOMEONE eating here (right?) but I was the only one for over 1/2 hour. Despite that, I had to ask for a coffee refill. I barely ate my food. Eggs were fine. Hash browns were the premade bricks you find in the freezer section. The bacon was rubbery. No es bueno!

Found this spot on Yelp and my friend immediately wanted to go. I was iffy but agreed since I like…read morenew breakfast places. Parking isn't great, around back and tight. The restaurant was extremely beautiful inside. Felt very welcoming. Spanish Mexican place. Our waiter was friendly and took our order immediately. If you want water, you must buy a bottle. I definitely didn't care for this. I ordered scrambled eggs, sausage and crispy home fries. My eggs were way over done. Not at all fluffy. I was done at this point but it wasn't worth asking for new eggs. I was already using a 20% off Yelp coupon. My friend said her meal was good but her tortilla was a bit too crispy. Now we get the check and there is a credit/debit card usage fee. I was never asked how I was paying. The waiter said if I paid cash, he would give me that amount back in change. Weird way of handling this. Sadly, I didn't like it enough to return.

This is for those people who like a small diner, with a hands-on touch. I was in the mood for a…read moregreat traditional breakfast, and that's what I got. I followed my instincts and ordered the homemade corned beef hash, with one scrambled egg and hash browns, and was very pleased with everything (except the bottled grapefruit juice, which was mostly corn syrup). As you can see from the photo, the chef had a generous hand! The service was friendly. A lot of workers came in to order breakfast sandwiches. I think there were nine small tables in the whole place. Parking was easy, but pulling out from the parking area to go home can't be done in a rush, as it's on the corner of Ledge Rd. and Noroton Ave. It was morning rush hour.

Everything's always clean. It's a small place but that doesn't matter when the food is great, the service is quick, and the atmosphere is lovely. Random thing we also enjoy is the fact that the toast is always buttered already when it's served to us.

Our go-to CT diner spot (NYC ex-pats approved!)…read more My wife and I used to live in NYC, and like most ex-pats, we consider ourselves absolute "diner people." We seriously missed the vibe, the regulars, and the familiar faces at our old city hangouts when we first moved to Connecticut. Luckily, we've found a few local spots that stepped right into that void, and Darien Diner is easily one of our favorites. First off, the vibe here is awesome. It has that classic, retro stainless steel exterior, a great eat-in counter, old-school soda fountains, and tons of 1950s memorabilia inside. It's always super clean and well-maintained. During the pandemic, they had a makeshift tent and wooden deck for outdoor seating. They took it down a while back, but the *best* news is they just finished building a permanent foundation for a brand new outdoor dining area. My wife and I cannot wait for it to open so we can bring our fur babies along for breakfast again. Speaking of breakfast, they serve it all day and the food is pure American comfort. If you're going the breakfast route, you can't go wrong with the Farmers Omelette, the Two Eggs and Three Meats, or the Protein Breakfast (grilled chicken and tomatoes) if you're trying to be good. For lunch, their Patty Melt is elite, and I'm a massive fan of the Thanksgiving Sandwich (turkey, gravy, cranberry, and stuffing on a flatbread) and their Gyro platter. A quick heads up on timing: this place gets absolutely packed around noon on the weekends--we're talking a line out the door. If you want to sit down, definitely aim for either 11:00 AM or after 1:00 PM to miss the rush. Weekdays are much calmer, but on weekends we usually just order takeout to avoid the crowds altogether. The location is incredibly convenient, right off Exit 13 on I-95. Plus, there's a Splash Car Wash right next door, so we usually kill two birds with one stone and get the car cleaned before or after we eat. Pro-Tip: Just watch your speed when you're getting off the I-95 ramp onto Connecticut Ave. Cops love to hide right there and ticket people catching the light. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a solid, welcoming diner in the area!

The vibe is exactly what you want in a neighborhood cafe: relaxed, welcoming, and comfortable whether you're working, hanging out, or catching up with friends and family. You can tell they've put real thought into the concept, with a menu that balances healthy options and indulgent treats. I had the chili special and it was out of this world -- rich, deeply flavorful, the perfect amount of kick, and served with amazing sourdough bread. I literally cleaned the bowl. Best of all, the staff and owner were incredibly friendly and hospitable, which made the whole experience even better. I loved it and I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend.
