Overall the food was pretty good, but not fantastic. I had the chicken breast chicken Parmesan w/ spaghetti, chicken noodle soup and a toasted roll with ice tea to drink. The warmed cherry pie alamode was excellent! The atmosphere is everything I expect from a classic diner. The service was very good as well. Well maintained booths, counter with stools and plenty of room with windows to look out on the street from more than one angle. I definitely recommend giving this diner a try! read more

Went late night as a group of 3. Easy sit down and great diner vibes. Greek iced coffee is DELICIOUS (and VERY strong). All food ordered at my table was honestly delicious. No complaints. It's a simple diner and you're getting diner food - don't expect anything crazy intricate, but you can expect the food to be good. Prices are reasonable, but it's 2025 and everyone's gotta make a living so I'm not complaining. read more

Wayyy over priced for the quality but the service was good and it was a simple, under seasoned version of what I needed. I'm talking $20 for 2 egg breakfast special. Convenient walk from the Lloyd hotel. read more

Curley's Diner - Diners Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Whoever dogs this place doesn't know what's good in life. I stopped in with my brother to Curley's while in town to pick up a friend at the train station. We ordered eggs and bacon and it came fast, hot and delicious. The coffee is great and everything hits for a perfect diner meal with regular food. If you like NYC diners you'll like this. Unpretentious, inexpensive, fast and courteous service. Not sure what else you could want. Oh- they speak Spanish fluently as well. read more

Rude servers ignoring us even though we were the only ones in the restaurant. I asked for a refill on my soda and it was charged twice!! No diner should charge for refills and 4 dollars a soda is outrageous. Outside of that the food was tasteless and non appealing. This place needs to be out of business. read more

The epitome of a diner. Great owners too! Only good food! Well done to the folks at Curley's.

this place fucking sucks the food is terrible the service was absolutely fucking atrocious and lastly the ambiance gave me aids read more

It's 3:05 am and I just got to town, I'm starving, the site and everything related online to this Curly's diner, says they close at 4 am and again call at 3:05 AM to make an order to pick up I can be there in 15 minutes.... The lady that picks up the phone says I can't order they close at 3:30 and says sorry there's nothing on the website Or anywhere that says anything about 4am closing or on website information... I can understand if you're closing early but even if I made the order right now and they're closing time was 3:30 AM instead of the 4 AM as it posts and boasts both on every single platform that list its business name... the close time as 4 am and my order, if I was allowed to order, would still be finished and put in before their unadvertised closing time ... . I can't place an order and pick up before you're actually closed? read more

If you want the best burger in a one-mile radius, go to Curley's. Yes, the diner. They know how to make a superior flame broiled, char-grilled burger (not fried). And they also happen to have the best price in town for that burger. And, if you want fries with that, no problem. They do not skimp on the sides! And their desserts are beyond compare. Believe it or not, Curley's is my go to for a fantastic burger and fries. Love this place and their history! read more

We are visiting from out of state we came here for breakfast and it was so good! 10/10 I don't understand why people say not good breakfast everything we had was delicious we ate everything! The staff was warm, friendly and tended to us right away, could not have asked for better service. The diner is very spacious and has a very homie kind of vibe we loved it! We got omelette breakfast and an egg breakfast. The price was great and the portions were definitely worth it. This diner is located within Stamford and you can over look out the window some nice greenery and little patch to sit and relax in. Highly recommend! read more

The menu is extensive if you can't find a great meal at a great price you have issues reading. The staff is friendly and knows everyone. The eggs Benedict are the best I have had in a long time. The restaurant reminds me of a nostalgia diner. read more

Spot in this morning and had breakfast and it was very Service was fast and great We had a Western omelet read more

Quick service, super friendly staff and parking during the day. Win win! I ordered a sliced corn beef, egg and cheese on a plain bagel it was $5.60 with tax. It was decent, nothing to write home about. But the staff was excellent, friendly and super accommodating. They said they normally serve corn beef hash and eggs on a bagel or hard roll instead of what I had. Which actually sounds delicious I might have to try that. But would definitely recommend coming back here. read more

Best thing about this diner is it's super quick service . Once you order food, it'll come out 3-4 minutes later. Servers are nice and pleasant. Food is expected of a nice diner. Eggs are cooked to order. Potatoes are good , but a bit bland. Ice coffee is ice coffee I would recommend anyone who wants something super quick to come to curleys diner. It makes up for everything . read more

Good food and friendly staff. Would recommend if you're in the area and want something reliable and tasty.

I am an East Coast diner girl through and through. When working back east I spent a couple of days in Stamford visiting friends. Had a morning to myself and found Curley's. The owner is adorable. She chatted with me while I ate my omelette. She told me the best diner stories and a little history about herself and her family. This is why I LOVE diners....it equals family. It is so easy to be nice and you get so MUCH nice back. Thank you. Curley's is the soul of Stamford. read more

The burger deluxe was a good deal and it was tasty. Better rolls are needed though. The pineapple coconut cake tasted like Pepperidge Farm's equivalent. The pastrami reuben was okay. Service was friendly. An extra star for the nostalgic vibe of the diner but one star lost for the exterior, which is in need of immediate work. There is a weed the size of a tree growing on the roof. read more

Servers are very nice but the service is slow and they kinda forget about you for awhile so don't come here if you are in a rush

Not bad, just nothing really special. Classic Diner food, but I do gotta admit it is sorta bland. I could definitely make better at home, but it's definitely nice to roll out of bed and get some comfort food every once in awhile. Just wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Came into Stamford for Los Angeles. My wife found Curley through Google. Their Disco Fries are out of this world. My wife had the Cheesesteak omlette. You'll thank me later. Kind service read more

Being a New Yorker, I can appreciate a good Diner. The abandoned industrial photography around the room sets the tone really well, and the food is excellent. They gave me a fruit salad in a sundae glass, and all good fruits, none of that honey dew nonsense. And their eggs are on point, with Canadian bacon! This establishment deserves more attention. read more

Decided to give this place a try- bad idea! I ordered chicken fingers and they were RAW in the middle. I have never had that happen at a restaurant in my life. Total let down. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE- BEWARE! FOOD HERE IS ROTTEN, A HEALTH INSPECTOR NEEDS TO BE CALLED. Disgusting. BLACKLISTED, negative stars. The bf and I walked in for a late night piece of cake. We didn't mind paying for the over priced piece of cake since it was a 24 hour dinner. We paid 4.50 for a slice of tiramisu cake and left. Luckily we live close by, so when I opened the box to find MOLD RIDDEN CAKE it was easy to rush back. What was hilarious was the manager Paulina's reaction. She was shocked naturally as any human being. But when I asked her how old the cake I purchase was, she stammered and had no response. She tried to cover her tracks and said "well I know the cheesecake is fresh".... that's great, but that didn't answer my question. No apology from Paulina or staff, just a bunch of servers trying to wave off the blame. Paulina quickly gave me a cash refund and we left immediately. Don't believe it? Look for yourself. Seriously gross- Curley's, you should be ashamed of yourselves for serving old food. Personally I will never eat here, if the cake is this messed up, I can't imagine what the kitchen food is actually like... *shivers* read more

Curley's Diner - MOLDY TIRAMISU CAKE - Diners Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

The food is trash and very bland it definitely needs seasoning and some love .........

My father was the short order cook at Curley's Diner for 20+ years and Curley was around. These reviews would be a LOT different if written when he was there. I know that people not only came in to eat, but to watch dad work. He was fast, efficient and well liked by customers. I used to love going there with my mom when I was a kid. The food DEFINITELY wasn't trash back then!! It was a show watching dad work. Then it was off to Bloomingdale's just a short walk from Curley's.... but, yeah, we drove. I've lived out of the area for several years now. Sad to these not-so-great reviews. read more

Curley's will always have a special place in my heart. The staff makes you feel like family. I went here a few weekends in a row ordering the same breakfast (corned beef hash and eggs), and the waitress quickly memorized my order. Love the food, love the service and the price is economical. I went in early one morning and there was someone passed out in the booth the night before (open 24/7), which I thought was hilarious. There are a lot of random religious groups that eat here early morning on the weekends, that seem kind of cult-ish. They provide some interesting eavesdropping lol. They were renovating for a long time, because the high rise construction next door destroyed their roof. It was finally fixed, but I feel bad that it took so long. They are a family owned business and lent their parking lot to the Constructors for months. Glad to see that it's is finally fixed and hope they got compensated for their hardship! read more

Stopped in for dinner after a wonderful walk around the Mill River Park for the Prelude art exhibit. Not only the name, but the old school shiny sided diner car was the draw for Curley's. I mean, how can you go wrong with a name like Curley's, right? Inside - not so shiny. Apparently, the diner is no longer what it once was (see 1 star review from Ellen, whose father was the short order cook for 20+ years and Curley was around). Food was bad at best. This establishment is operated by dabblers. Slyly adding a tip to the check for a party of 2 without notice is dubious. When questioned, the server/manager/owner replied, "We always do that". Hmmm. I would avoid this diner, there are so many other good choices in the area. And, I feel terrible defacing Curley's name. read more

Great food, nice owner, quick service, the ingredients for a great diner! Definitely recommend this place for anybody who wants some 50s diner feel. read more

Clean and good service. Promptly seated and waited in by a very nice waitress. The food serve was fast and we received what was ordered. Only 3 stars because the food was bland tasting, there just was no flavor to it. This was for breakfast. I would go back and give lunch a try. read more

Friendly & attentive service from server and manager! Good portion, tasty food. Great old-time diner feel with counter-stools and booths.

The food is okay, the menu is large, the prices aren't great the wait staff take forever to bring your check. However, they're always open and the owner is a lovely lady. read more

It's exactly what you expect in a diner. The place has an old school feel which is what I like in a diner. The furniture is old and most of the place is dated, but hey that's what's expected. Fast service, fast food, and it's really well priced. Like I'm a 24 year old dude and I'm full for under $10. Great place to bring like a date after wresting all night as you'll totally replenish those carbs haha. Also not crazy expensive so she'll be like, "oh wow he paid, he's such a gentleman" meanwhile you're just like, "fuck ya, I only spent $25". Plus they don't peddle the unlimited mimosas or anything like that so there's no pressure to drink at like 10am. read more

My friends were skeptical, I convinced them to check it out. Hit the spot for some late night chicken fingers and quesadillas. The honey mustard so good I could have bathed in it. You know honey mustard is good when you're dipping your quesadilla in it. read more

Tiny ants crawling all over my table and seat, home fries tasted stale. Bacon barely cooked. A huge no. Avoid.

Everything here tastes bad. Everything. Even the simplest things. I only eat here when I'm desperate. My home fries are hard...seriously?!

We found the Service to be warm and friendly. The place felt run down and grimy and the food was dry and uninspiring and overpriced. It's an experience I never need to have again. read more

advertises as open 24h but closes at 1.45am - don't waster your time and Uber money going there with 24h in mind

I'm not really sure what happened to the other reviewers but my experience at Curley's Diner was pleasant and I did not have any problems with the food. We had a long day and we didn't feel like going anywhere too far from the hotel. I ordered The Ranger which is a New York strip steak sandwich served with an egg, french fries and a pickle on the side. The steak was cooked fine and seasoned well. I was left satisfied at the end of my meal. If you're expecting some fancy eatery, look elsewhere. Curley's is an old fashioned diner with booths and it's open 24 hours so you can mosey on over any time of day or night. In my brief experience here, the dining options in Stamford are pretty limited unless you want to head into NYC. I would come back to eat here if I'm ever in the area again. read more

I ordered a Turkey Burger Deluxe it was just awful. Cold onions, cheese, bland burger. They didn't even try. I felt like they didn't want me to come back so I won't. read more
