As others have mentioned, walking into this place is like walking into a museum exhibit from the 1970s. The decor, from the booths to the lampshades, seem like they haven't changed in decades and are in excellent condition. The tables have tops that have obviously been replaced at some point, as they aren't the expected laminate, but otherwise it's like going back in time. We were looking for a traditional breakfast place open on a weekday (rather than a bagel shop or a place that only sells breakfast sandwiches), and this fit the bill. Service was efficient and attentive. They have a large array of menu items, but we both chose to get the breakfast burrito, without the meat. There was a bit too much potato inside for our taste, but others may prefer it that way. The side of salsa that came with it was delicious and made up for any lack of seasoning when we removed the salty meat. We would return when looking for a traditional diner with a large variety of choices. read more

The last couple of times I was disappointed and yesterday was the worst!! Was NOT happy with them at all! I had the manager come over and an old lady came and I told her my pork was hard as a rock and I was showing her with the fork and she had the nerve to say "Well we have to cook it" And basically walked away! They should of 110% took it off the bill!! The one night I ordered open hot turkey sandwich and the gravy was boiling (literally) I had a burn on my finger for two weeks! It's definitely gone down hill-sad because I've been going there for many-many years!! Andy u should talk to your managers!! Not cool! First time they didn't hand us the bill- the brought it up to the register smh - read more

This place is about a mile from 87. Large parking lot. The Inside is OLD but the menu is large. My biscuits were soft and fluffy which I appreciated. The pancakes were MEH. Ladies room was clean but the men's room was a different story. Beautiful outdoor seating in the parking lot. read more

Great breakfast for the money. Fast service and old time dinner flavor. My only quibble is that our waitress assumes you don't want cheese in a veggie omelette. Every other dinner I visit includes cheese in a veggie omelette. Lesson learned to ask next time. Still great place to visit. read more

We stopped by after going on the Polar Express. We were a group of 27 and they happily accommodated us all. Usual diner food, the greatness varied based on the plate. Definitely will return after Polar Express next year. They have the cutest photo op display outside. read more

Dietz Stadium Diner - Outside holiday display - Diners Near Me - Kingston, New York

Had lunch at this old school Kingston NY (1/4 mile from NYS Thruway) diner today and I must say, it was quite good. Parking is a little tight, but the place was packed for a good reason (why we stopped during our lunch break while traveling to the area). Staff was super friendly & professional, and the food came out in lightning quick fashion. I had the Pressed French Dip Panini & Fries and my coworker had a Cheeseburger & Fries. We were both very happy with our dishes. Def will be stopping here again the next time I'm working in the area. read more

Food was really good. Waiters were respectful and we arrived at like 8:20 and they closed at nine and they were kind enough to let us eat there. They could have closed up. But they stayed and made sure we got our food overall good place recommended for dinner read more

Dietz Stadium Diner - Half pound Beef Burger (Deluxe) - Diners Near Me - Kingston, New York

3.75 stars Part of me wants to round up, while another part wants to run down. But I WILL be fair and round up. People saying that place looks very dated - isn't that the whole point of the vibe of a diner? I am so used to all diner looking so similarly that I didn't even notice. We sprung up in here with a group of friends after coming up to enjoy some away-from-city weekend time. The day was cold and rainy and dreary so it was nice to warm up with some hot tea and have some lunch. I was with my dog and though I tried my hardest to maybe skirt around it and ask them if my well-behaved fur baby (in the process of becoming a service dog too, by the way), could come in too, I was shut down respectfully by the two hostesses in the front, the service otherwise was very good. So good that I was impressed. They allowed for me to quickly order a sandwich for my husband who decided to stay in the car with the dog (I think they felt bad), and they brought the sandwich out super fast. The rest of us enjoy our food as well - a burger, salad, a grilled cheese sandwich and a yummy wrap. Their menu is extensive and there are a ton of options to choose from. No photos since it was a big group and we were all hungry! Next time. read more

Kingston, NY - such a great diner! The food is excellent, plentiful, and prices are super. No wonder it was still very busy at almost 2pm on a Sunday. We ordered the souvlaki combo platter, Dietz chicken sandwich deluxe, and a short stack of buttermilk pancakes. All very good, with plenty of leftovers to take home. The service is quick yet diligent, and the owner was there to personally greet customers. There is a spacious outdoor patio, which was nicely decorated (we came in early November so it was autumn and Halloween themed). My only gripe is that the ladies' bathroom was not the cleanest on the occasion we visited, which makes me wonder... Diners can be hit or miss but this one meets the mark, so rates a 5 in the category. read more

3.5 rounded up. Is it dated? Yes. BUT you will get your food in less time than it takes to decide what you want, AND your drink will never be empty. There are very clearly regulars. They do a LOT of takeout business, so get ready for the woman at the register to shout I'VE GOT A TAKEOUT frequently. They had interesting "fries" beyond disco and chili cheese! Pizza fries, gyro fries, there were others - all sounded interesting and nearly tempted me. The kids menu had 8ish options, but I can't imagine how big an adult order of spaghetti is - my son's from the kid menu was more pasta than I could eat and a meatball the size of a tennis ball. If you need diner food and are nostalgic for the early 90's, this is your joint. I can't lie, it totally brought me back (without the second hand smoke) and I loved it. read more

Great service- very very friendly and accommodating staff. Each staff member we spoke to was very kind and pleasant to talk to. The menu is huge with something for everyone in your party. We enjoyed our food! Nice, comfortable outdoor seating. We will be back if we are in the area again! read more

Had the largest Greek Salad of my life! Really fresh and great variety of veggies. Fun place too!

When hubs gets into his feels about time-warped diner breakfast, there's nothing taking him away from that. And because we were in the Kingston area anyway, this was it. Dietz shares(?) a parking lot with Deising's Bakery. My Lox+ toasted Bagel "Delux" had ALL the trimmings in pieces. Instead of perfect onion circles, they were like cut in fours, the "Delux" Lox plate included peppers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, instead of capers (which I don't eat anyway) these folks use pimento-stuffed olives ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and the tomatoes, were perfect as you would expect them- sliced. All this on a large bed of iceberg lettuce¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It's how Dietz does it. If only my server took what I initially told her I wanted- which was 'lox, on toasted bagel, tomato and onions and cream cheese'. THAT'S IT. So much food was wasted. But, I loved my freshly-made Vanilla Egg Cream. My drink was refreshing- even in almost 30° weather, wasn't neither too sweet nor bland and the vanilla taste was pure and hubs enjoyed his waffle. Typical Diner inside, ventilation was ok and service was wonderful. read more

3.5 stars - Food was just alright but huge bang for your buck! Rounded up because the value was really good for portion sizes. We got the biscuits with gravy and eggs, an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, strawberry French toast, and shrimp in a basket meal all for $42.9 before tip. Food came out in about 10 minutes, our favorite was the popcorn shrimp and French toast. read more

Dietz Stadium Diner - Diners Near Me - Kingston, New York

Decided to go for breakfast. This diner is only about 15 minutes from me. it definitely looks like the 1970s inside. Nothing much has changed in all these years. They had some other good breakfast specials so I decided to go with their biscuits and gravy sausage gravy with potatoes and I added an egg the service was very friendly. Some locals were sitting at the counter around With the waitress looks like the owner may have come out and talked to them as well. My food came out and it looked very good. The sausage gravy had a good flavor. I didn't see that many chunks of sausage in the gravy however. The potatoes were cooked very nicely Crispy and tasty the egg was made just right. The biscuits were fresh and fluffy. Definitely a good value as well. Good Hardy portion I've heard that the burgers are made at the diner. Too often diners just get those frozen burgers and they all have the same consistency and taste. Out of the good number of diners in Kingston. There's one on the main street downtown. That's pretty good as well. Plus one that's a little further down the road I think there's even another one not too far from that one but out of the four this one is the best . read more

Great little spot off the thruway. Friendly staff with lots of locals. Food was very good; exactly what one would want and expect from a diner. Would definitely come back! read more

We ordered take out to pick up after a day out in the Catskills. We both ordered burgers. They were prepared correctly but nothing stood out about the food. The person who took my order was efficient but not particularly friendly. When picking up the order, my friend went in. He said that the counter staff wasn't too friendly but that one of the workers was very kind. So, mixed reviews on service. The restaurant was very busy when we stopped by- it appeared to be clean and well- maintained read more

Dietz Stadium Diner - Cheeseburger deluxe, no bun - Diners Near Me - Kingston, New York

Great food, amazing service and all for a very reasonable price. Dietz is amazing and a gem in small town New York.

This place is serviceable if you need something to tide you over while waiting for the bus as it's pretty much next door to the Trailways bus terminal. Portions are huge but bland. Despite what it says on Google, there is no wheelchair accessible entrance, though we really appreciated the large and well distanced outdoor patio. read more

It's an absolutely amazing place to eat... If you can get inside... We order here from DoorDash all the time. We have never ever had a bad meal from here. The menu is humongous! Some of our favorites are the Leo omelette, (lox, onions, and tomatoes), the chili, (amazing, with just a little bit of spice to it,) as well as the roast pork loin, and the pot roast. Both are beyond delicious, the gravy is very good as well, and it's not too thick or too thin, and the pork loin comes with a fantastic stuffing. For our sides, we absolutely love the creamy coleslaw, the pickled beets, which also come with onions, and even the applesauce is delicious. Also, on everything, the portions are immense, and we always get at the very least, two meals out of one dish. The shakes are large, thick, and just how you would imagine a Diner shake to be. My partner's favorite is the strawberry shake. There are pieces of real strawberry in it. The one reason we are taking away a star, is because it is not handicapped accessible We went to eat at the restaurant the other day, and there were no ramps. There were two sets of steps in the front of the restaurant. They said they would help us up the steps in the back of the restaurant, but my partner, who is handicapped, did not feel comfortable using them. Apparently they have outdoor seating but it does not do any good on a cold day in March. Other than that, we cannot gush on the place enough Until the weather turns nicer, we will just continue to order to go. read more

So I needed a quick meal before returning to the City I get the Dietz must be an old German who opened the place, way back when? The stadium I don't get. Where's the stadium? The place is old school diner. I ordered onion soup, which was just onions in a broth. No bread, no cheese. I guess that's healthy? For main meal I ordered the pot roast open sandwich. Which was nothing special, kind of bland. Broccoli steamed. No real flavor Baked potato...boring. Well maybe I ordered the wrong thing? Ok better luck next time...if there is a next time? read more

Friendly and good food.Full menu. Clean and next to bus stop which makes it convenient for when I travel to and from Kingston.

Originally planned on going to another diner but it wasn't opened yet so we checked to see if anything else was open nearby, and we came across this diner. The food was DELICIOUS, great crispy skinned sausage links and the hollandaise sauce was sooooo good. Everything was great! The food, the service, just everything! Very clean and very brown (and not in a bad way), great diner atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Came here afterI tried something different, their stuffed crossaint Western omelet. I don't know, but the Hollandaise sauce on top ruined it. The sandwich wasn't a sandwich. Cutting it was just as messy. Either way, it lacked flavor, and the home fries were just potatoes barely cooked. I don't know if there are many diners or restaurants nearby at such an early hour, but Iwouldn't recommend what I had. read more

Stopped in here on our way to Howe Caverns based on some reviews we saw. The place was busy definitely a local favorite with staff on a first name basis with customers. We were promptly seated in a booth and looked through the extensive menu. They have an all day menu which made ordering that much harder. My partner opted with the croissant eggs Benedict and I got the shaved beef sandwich, I switched the cheese to cheddar and added cheddar to my fries as well. When the food came we were a little surprised to see they put the hollandaise sauce on top of the croissant which made it less of a sandwich and more of a traditional eggs Benedict, so a tip for anyone getting this, ask for the sauce on the side. The beef sandwich, while flavorful, was a bit dry, some au jus on the side would have been clutch. All in all the food was ok, probably wouldn't go out of my way for again next time I venture upstate. read more

Cozy and friendly diner with huge portions, great food, and service with smiles. Would definitely recommend.

shitty food and shitty service,busser was chill tho. the price for the quality of the food is bad.

Dietz surprised me. In the pleasant way. For a long time I sort of avoided them because I had another "favorite diner". I see now that this was a mistake. Dietz rocked! And now that my former favorite diner has fallen from grace - sadly due to new ownership - I bring all my diner dining to this lovely establishment. Especially in the warm weather when we can sit on their awesome outdoor patio!! read more

Good food and good service. Definitely a great breakfast place. Liked the stafff

Good portions , Ernest service and a clean affair. Good options as one would expect in a diner
