I've practically lived at the Stamford Diner over the years, even spending entire work weeks…read moreworking remotely from here (pro tip: the free Wi-Fi is actually reliable and they have plenty of seating so you don't feel like you're overstaying your welcome). Location-wise, it's incredibly convenient--right off Exit 6 on I-95--and unlike most places around here, they have a massive private parking lot so finding a spot is never an issue. Inside, it's huge, but it still manages to keep that classic diner warmth. They also have a full-service bar with TVs if you just want to grab a drink and catch a game. At this point, I've tried practically every entree on the menu, and honestly, the food and service never miss. There's a reason this place was featured on *Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives*. A few personal standouts after coming here so often: * Breakfast & Soups: You can order breakfast all day, but do not overlook their housemade soups. We almost always grab a quart of the Chicken Noodle or the Chicken Matzoh Ball to go. * Salads: If you want greens, the signature salads are excellent. If you don't want meat, get the Arthur Avenue Salad (the fried eggplant and fresh mozz combo is perfect). If you want chicken, go for the Crispy Chicken Paillard or the Balsamic Chicken with mandarin oranges and crispy noodles. * Mains: If you love red meat, the ribs are so tender they literally fall off the bone. The Mediterranean dishes are also a major highlight--especially the Greek Gyro. And if you're craving seafood, the Seafood Fra Diavolo (shrimp, scallops, mussels, and calamari over linguini) has a fantastic spicy kick. As great as the food is, it's really the people that keep regulars coming back. The staff is incredible. Getting to know Laura and Ari has been the best part of eating here. They treat you like family the second you walk through the door. Whether you're stopping in for a quick bite off the highway or looking for a regular neighborhood spot, you can't beat this place. Pro-Tip: When you're ordering take-out from here, do yourself a favor and use the Slice app. I stopped using the major delivery apps because their 20-30% commission fees just bloat the final bill for everyone. Slice is entirely dedicated to supporting local, independent spots instead of massive corporate chains, so the restaurant doesn't get hammered on margins and you aren't paying inflated prices. Plus, it's super easy to customize your order right through the app.

Very family oriented as it was packed with children. Their donut is something they're widely known for and was highly recommended. They're baked on site and were so fresh!

The waitstaff were attentive and friendly and the food was good. It was packed and there was a wait to be seated. Will return and this time we'll bring our littles

We stopped at Lakeside Diner on our way to Boston, hoping for a good meal before continuing our…read moretrip. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. The food was overpriced for a diner and, honestly, very mediocre. For the prices they charge, we expected much better quality and flavor. What really stood out, though, was the service. It was unfriendly and came across as rude. We initially sat at an available four-person table, and instead of politely explaining if it was reserved or needed for larger parties, we were abruptly told, "No, sit at the two-top." There was no courtesy or welcoming attitude. The saddest part of the experience was the interaction afterward. Two of the waitresses were Dominican, like me. I spoke to them in Spanish so they would know I fully understood the conversation, and it was clear comments were being made about us. No customer should ever feel uncomfortable or talked about while dining. We were simply looking for a pleasant place to eat during our road trip, but instead we left feeling unwelcome and disappointed. There are plenty of diners that offer better food, friendlier service, and treat customers with respect. We won't be making a point to stop here again, and unfortunately, I can't recommend it based on our experience.

We came here for dinner not long ago. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. Food arrived quickly…read more However the "Philly Cheesesteak" that my friend ordered ended up being chopped-up hamburger patties placed inside of a wedge (see picture). If the kitchen staff didn't have steak strips available, they could have just told us so. No big deal. I've never been here for breakfast. I'm willing to give it a try on a Sunday morning sometime in the near future. Below are some simple suggestions to make the diner look more professional; especially since it's located in the North Stamford area: * The door entrance and desk would appear more tidy if there were far fewer photos cluttering the area. No photos at all would be ideal. * The restroom sink faucets are corroded and the stall doors have a lot of chipped red paint. It reminded me of a NYC subway station bathroom. * Most of the seating booths in the diner had a tacky sign posted on them that said "Cash Tips are Greatly Appreciated. That's just unnecessary and somewhat unhospitable.

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!

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.

"I'll go back to the diner I'll write another letter…read moreI hope you'll read it this time" (Billie Eilish) I kind of laughed when our server brought over our menus. They were in a heavy book (reminded me of a high school yearbook) with six pages of choices plus an insert of daily specials. Post Road is the kind of diner that diner lovers dream of. Their menu is an embarrassment of riches and would seamlessly fit in alongside anything you would find on the Sunrise Highway on Long Island or on Route 17 in New Jersey. Three of us walked in around 11:30am today, and our first order of business was deciding if we'd go for lunch or breakfast food. We all went for breakfast plates- pancakes ($9.99) with a side of scrambled eggs ($2.99), GF Pancakes ($12.98), and for me a "Protein Breakfast" ($13.99) and a coffee ($3.49). So, I'm sure you're asking, "what on earth is a protein breakfast?' Well, it was four egg whites, a few gorgeous tomato slices, and a nice piece of grilled chicken. It was pretty filling and everything tasted great. Our server was efficient and professional and swiftly brought over a "to go" box for the excess of those enormous pancakes. The dining room is awesome, a real throwback to the 1950's with plenty of old-time booths, art deco neon signs, checkerboard ceramic tile, and music\entertainment\pop culture images everywhere. We really enjoyed our visit !

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.
