Visited Dish n' Dat for the first time and had a very enjoyable experience. The egg white omelet was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The coffee was also very good and complemented the meal nicely. The restaurant has a comfortable seating area and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your meal. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for breakfast or brunch. The home fries were average compared to the rest of the meal, but they didn't take away from the overall experience. The quality of the omelet, good coffee, friendly service, and pleasant environment made for a very satisfying visit. Overall, a great local breakfast spot, and I'd definitely come back to try more items from the menu. read more

First time at new location and the new spot is definitely set up differently than The Black Dog and Margaritas was before it. Actually the dining area is small, and the feeling in the room is almost like you're in the basement of a house. Aluminum gutters as crown molding is an unusual touch! The service was great. Very attentive. Food did not come out fast. Dinner was fun. Cheesesteak was good. The sandwich was a bit messy to eat but that might be expected. Custom chicken sandwich was not quite as stated on the menu. The "tempura" fried chicken was more like a frozen patty than a tempura battered piece. I had a fun dinner. Two chili dogs and fries! Have not ordered that for dinner since Lum's was down the street! My only criticism is that they were not on a New England style roll. (Buttered & grilled). My fries were cold. The tater tots are the way to go The real surprise of the night was the bottle of root beer. It tasted like the real thing and not the big brand sugar water! We finished the night with lava cake and cannoli, which were ok. The ice cream served with the cake was the winner! read more

Decent spot to grab a meal with a few friends. They offer an extensive menu and serve breakfast all day. I opted for the special broccoli cheddar Soup which was just ok. I also ordered the crunch burger which was prepared as ordered and tasted decent. Service and the restaurant itself were all good. I'd definitely come back and try other items. read more

One of the best places in town, great family spot, we recommend to everyone we know. As affordable as can be these days too

Takeout review: I've ordered takeout here numerous of times since moving here. It's always my go to when we decide to do takeout. The food and service has been spot on. Everytime I call in and pick up the food, it's been prompt and a good experience. I've tried a few food items from here and they have been all my favorites: Angry Queen Bee Sandwich: tempura fried crispy chicken breast, brie, bacon, Sriracha honey, lettuce, tomato, red onion, on potato bread. This is definitely my favorite sandwich from here so far. The sweet and spicy flavor is my thing. Crispy Buffalo Mac n Cheese: Chicken poppers, buffalo sauce, and ranch. OMG, drool worthy; the crispy chicken and gooey Mac n cheese, and spicy buffalo sauce is a great combo. Double Porky Pig Mac n Cheese: Bacon bits, 24-hr slow cooked BBQ pulled pork. The sweet BBQ and cheesy Mac were also a delicious combo. The food has been great. I can't wait to dine in soon! read more

Ever have a place that had plenty of tables open for you to sit at but not the staff to seat you? Happened to us here and had to wait. Then when seated, it was clear they were slow rolling things. The food here is a mixed bag. Everyone loved the cookie dough French toast (or a few bites of it) but the avocado toast was a bit with avocado that wasn't ripe. Same with my breakfast burrito. Plus the bacon wasn't as crispy as you'd like. But the home fries are solid. The coffee was hot but a bit light on bite. Portions are big and our server was friendly. Inside they played tunes from the 50s which was a big hit with my parents but just felt dated. Frustrating experience for a place that's been around forever. You want it to be better than it is. It's not bad just not as good as it could be. read more

Deceptive front, good basic food with large portions but high prices. Was in the area for a new pasta place and this was a quick lunch spot to try. Figured we would get a hot dog and some fries and be on our way. Front of the restaurant looks like a older style large home with a big patio. The sign was the only indicator that we were in the right place. We get in and there's two signs pointing us to go either direction for service. There was a man at the bar who set us on the left path, past the bar into this little car hop diner styled room. The decor from the outside didn't match the inside, but it was this cute homage to old diners. The menu is exhaustive, with tons of food options. We opted for the soup flight with grilled cheese dippers, the kelbasa bites, and the Mexican egg roll appetizer. We also got a side of their mad dog 357 hot sauce. The servers were very much warning us of the heat level the entire time, but opted to put it on the side with an emergency milk possible to order. The food came out pretty quick, and the portions were reasonable. The crocks were half-full with their soup samplings, the jelbasa was in a small skillet but nice and crispy. The egg rolls were big. If that was an appetizer size then it was a meal in of itself. That's one thing this place does well. The portions are Gigantic. Other tables got sandwiches and omelettes and everything was very ample in the portion size. The food itself was good, but not particularly tasty. The soups were okay, the chili really needed the hot sauce to give it some zip. The hot sauce was flavorful but extremely hot if eaten on its own. The warnings were valid, it's very hot. But it did have a tangy sweet vinegar note that made it good to eat. The egg rolls had good seasoned beef in them, but the queso drizzled on top made them soggy. Needed to have the queso on the side for dipping. Price is high. Every plate was 13-15 dollars and they charged 5 dollars for two sauces. So it's high but you don't leave hungry It's not bad if you're hungry and want good basic food. It's a little pricy and they like to charge for extras, but it's not bad. read more

This place is very decent! Have been wanting to try it, didn't realize they had moved from old location a number of years ago, so it was one of those situations like "it's up here on the left somewhere, I remember--wait, no, here it is, on the right!". The place has outdoor seating but it was pretty hot so no one was sitting outside. We made our way to a cute little room with 50's music playing and vintage metal signs on the walls--my husband loves that! Really sets a mood. The food is really good, the menu ambitious, the service fine, and the portions are huge. I ordered what is probably the best order of crispy Brussels sprouts I've ever had--somehow not greasy, tender on the inside with the little leaves on the outside a crispy perfection. Comes with an aoili dipping sauce which goes well. Also ordered the poutine, cause I love it, and it's reeeeaaally hard to find good poutine south of, like, Maine or northern VT. 5 stars!--even if the cheese is not exactly what they use in Canada (farmer's cheese?) the dish acquitted itself well. Both of the aforementioned dishes also work well as leftovers the following day, be advised the portions, even on the sides, are quite large. I also sampled the lobster roll special, which was okay. Served on a hamburger bun which is kind of unusual, and with lettuce, which I declined. TBH we're pretty spoiled by getting lobster rolls on the shore at the Lobster Pound or Lobster landing--hard to top those. Roger ordered the meatloaf, a monstrous-sized portion and not overly tomato-y or ketchup-y, which is often the reason I pass on meatloaf. Super good and well, meaty. The accompanying broccoli was cooked to perfection, The fries are hand-cut and I believe maybe fresh not frozen, which is a huge plus, and a particular sticking point with Roger. I had the blood orange margarita, refreshing with not a ton of alcohol; I don't need to be getting wasted over diner food. We were both way too full for dessert, but enjoyed our leftovers the next day. I intend to try grandma's chicken and dumplings next time, which will be a tough test since everyone knows southerners make the best dumplings. We shall see. Film at 11:00. read more

Been to Dish n' Dat twice now -- once for breakfast, once for a late lunch. Food is solid, everything we have eaten there has been decent. The one item that really stood out was the pulled pork sandwich, the meat was tender & tasty, I was a bit surprised how good it was since Dish n' Dat is not a "BBQ Joint". Milkshake my wife got on the last trip really hit the spot also. Service has been stellar the two times we've been there. Since we don't live far away, we plan to add Dish n' Dat to our regular rotation of places we will frequent when we are looking to get some comfort food. read more

We came back during a heat wave, with that being said I went for the classic American Hotdog single and sweet potato fries with a Shake which I believe was called garbage something, apologies for not remembering. But it was chocolate with Oreos and gummie worms. For $9 I believe was a little high for a small Hotdog, which I was believing would of been a foot long. The sweet potato fries were decent and the shake wasn't spectacular, I was hoping for a glass instead of a metal cup they mix it in. Just wasn't what I expected from a cute 50's diner it just screamed out lazy to me. The Waitress was such a sweet heart though, nice and friendly. read more

I've been going to DND for many years. Always enjoyed grabbing lunch as the bar with my dad. Our most recent visit left us very unimpressed. No appetizers under $13 or so on the menu. BLT was very greasy. The pierogi appetizer was frozen Mrs Ts which was so disappointing. read more

Tunes from the 1950s played in the background as we entered. Comfort music was followed by comfort food, just the way when Grandma made it. The portions were large enough that we got 5 meals out of what we ate. I had chicken and dumplings. My wife had brisket. We started out with matzoh ball soup that was so good I had to tell the owner. He said the recipe was passed down from his Grandma in Brooklyn. Can't get a better review than that! The service was impeccable, attentive but certainly not overbearing. read more

I have been here multiple times now. I have never had a bad meal and the service is always top notch. Today's meal: App: -Jumbo soft pretzel with beer cheese sauce. 5/5. Excellent Mains: -Oktoberfest special burger. 1/2 pound burger with beer cheese sauce, honey mustard, bacon and frizzled onions on a pretzel bun. I chose the tater tots S my side. 5/5 excellent. -Crispy burger. 1/2 pound burger with cheddar cheese, house made potato chips, LTM on a roll. My wife chose French fries as her side. 4.5/5. -Kids grilled cheese and my daughter got oranges as her side. I have gotten lots of meals at this place and it's all phenomenal. Service is A+ and the the place itself is sparkling clean inside and out. read more

I used to go to Dish n' Dat with my friends when it was still located at the Shops at Farmington Valley. I was recently in the area and decided to show my partner a restaurant that was so beloved by my adolescent self. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed in my most recent visit. The renovated location itself is fine, although the 50s Americana theming has been lost due to the layout of the restaurant. As a plus, parking is ample and accessible. However, it took us a fairly long time to be seated and we were left standing in the doorway wondering whether we seat ourselves or just wait. Additionally, the waitstaff was very busy which led to us not being checked on frequently. In terms of food, we ordered the Crispy Fried Brussel Sprouts, Cabo Wabo Fish Tacos, and a hamburger California Style. The fried Brussel sprouts came with a delicious sauce, but the sprouts themselves were incredibly greasy. The tacos were fine, but that's it. My partner had the same sentiment about the burger: it was fine. Although the serving sizes were pretty large, I would have preferred less food and lower prices, as the meal itself was fairly expensive for diner food. Overall, the experience was fine, but my rose-shaded glasses for this restaurant have faded (I guess that's growing up lol) and I'm not sure how frequently I'll be returning. read more

If you're looking for comfort food, Dish n Dat is for you! Their breakfast choices are flavorful and plentiful. You will not leave the Dish hungry. Dan, the owner is the nicest man.

We've been to Dish n' Dat many times over the years, going back to their prior location in the Canton Shops. It's a good place with solid menu, but a bit overpriced. In general, paying $15-20 for breakfast entrees is a bit much, particularly when it's no better than places that charge half that. I'm happy to report the service was terrific and the interior decor is cool. read more

Excellent Food ... Amazing engaging service... price absolutely fair. Can't wait to go back !!!!!

This place was great! A big shoutout to our server Jordan who was super friendly, attentive and overall just very relaxed and easy going. His energy made the whole experience even better. The food was great too, the menu is huge which is nice when you're not sure what you're in the mood for. They have some fun/funky options and the options that are more common at other restaurants they've taken up a notch. The restaurant itself was very cool, the bar has a bunch of license plates and signs, while the dining area has retro diner signs which were really cool to look at. We will definitely be coming back, not only for the delicious food but also the great service. read more

My bff of 41 years was visiting from NJ so we decided on Dish n' Dat for lunch. We had crispy Brussels sprouts as an appetizer - heavenly. So good and plenty for both of us. For an entree my friend had their version of chicken nuggets and I had a tempura chicken sandwich. We also shared sweet fries. All very good and large portions. But then we decided to each order a cake batter shake to go. We were each delivered a pint sized to go cup and straws. Bigger than a Ben & Jerry's from the grocery store. We thought they were giving us each a pint of ice cream but these were the shakes! They were ginormous and we definitely had a good laugh. It took hours and I still couldn't finish mine! Oh I also ordered fluff and strawberry French toast to go home with me. That was just mouthwatering (a day later when I finally had my appetite back because we were stuffed!). Loved the staff, the atmosphere, the food, the shakes the size of a child's head. Would definitely return and recommend! read more

Food 1. West Coast Animal Style Fries 4/5 The fries were inconsistent. Some where extremely crispy and others where undercook. The cheese sauce stole the show for this Disney for me. 2. The Cinnabon pancakes- so decadent and extremely sweet. Delicious and worth the calories. 3. Cookie Dough Stuffed French toast- also decadent and is dessert for breakfast. Over all the food got 5/5 stars despite the fries. And I ended up having a bad allergic reaction to something but, I will definitely go back. Service Servid was okay. It was terrible but it wasn't anything to write home about. Our lady honestly just seemed bored. Ambiance The place is so cool. I live a vintage set up, anything different and unique. This place brings you back in time. It is so fun. Over all, worth the time. You will need time to figure out what to eat though. read more

Love the old school diner feel with 50s and 60s music playing throughout. This place has so much character and is a fun atmosphere for both adults and kids. The menu is eclectic and has something for everyone. I especially loved the pretzel with the three dipping sauces and my husband loved his corned beef and hash. They do not skimp on the the portions. Our waitress was great. Efficient, attentive, and obviously just a nice person. This was our second visit and they did not disappoint on either occasion. The vibe of the place just puts you in a good mood. We will continue to be repeat customers. read more

Amazing food, friendly service, huge portions- there is something for everyone on the menu

I didn't know this place moved from it's original location (where they were for 10 years) about a half a mile up the road to the old Margarita's location. They fit well in that spot, it suits them. I was in the area dropping on a Saturday morning and my wife promised to take me out for breakfast. The menu for Dish n' Dat was right up our alley so it was a no brainer. We arrived around 9:30 and were seated in minutes. Our waitress, Kimberly, was super swift and took our orders quickly and asked a question I very much appreciated: "would you like any jam or hot sauce"? Yes Kimberly, I would LOVE hot sauce. "Would you like chohoula, Franks or Sriracha?" Franks! That may not sound like a big deal to you but it is to me. I like hot sauce on my savory breakfast and I LOVE having a choice because I'm much more of a Tabasco or Frank's girl and I feel I'm settling if those aren't available choices. Our food came out quickly and the portions were really honking. I also appreciated not having a thimble/diner sized mug for my cup of tea. I am seeing some very recent, pretty negative reviews of this place but I can definitely say I experienced nothing but a good meal, good service and a good value. Also the menu is huge and everything looked good, from breakfast to dinner. This is not fine dining but it's mouth watering. read more

I have been coming to Dish n' Dat since they first opened in the Shoppes and was hopeful their new location would bring it fresh new life. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The space (an old colonial home) is an odd setting for the terribly forced retro design. We ate both in the dining area and in the bar, and the dining area service was subpar - we were sat in the farthest corner of the top floor and our waitress was miserable. They also managed to lose our credit card slip (?) and ended up running our card twice. The service in the bar was great, though (shoutout to the bartender for great service and a heavy pour). Not only is the food still overpriced and poor quality, we discovered they have many of the same offerings in the bar at a cheaper price (anywhere from $3-5 cheaper per item). Had we know that, we would have opted to eat in the bar - which is what I would recommend if you decide to eat here. In sum, come for drinks and maybe a snack, but there are much better offerings in the area with better food, service and pricing. read more

We've been to the new location a few times. Service is even worse than it had been at the old location. Not sure how they stay in business. Staff chatting in the corner, ignoring tables. They messed up my wings by putting super hot sauce on it. The server apologized and brought me a different sauce - said don't worry, they won't charge me. Well, they didn't charge me for the extra sauce! How generous! We have had take out that is very good, maybe will try that again. But it'll be a very long time before we're back to eat in.

Had dinner at Dish n' Dat last night and as usual it didn't disappoint. My daughter had the Mac 'n cheese and it was so good! I love that it was made with rigatoni instead of macaroni. The sauce was delicious. She said she'd definitely order again! I treated myself to the 1/4lb hot lobster roll from the specials. It was tasty and buttery. I definitely recommend. It was quieter in there than usual but I'm sure it was because it was the first beach day of the season. read more

After passing over a diner that was way too crowded on a Sunday morning, we decided to try out dish n dat. I don't remember our waiter's name but he was very attentive and sweet. My son was disappointed that he couldn't order lunch yet (he planned on a burger at the diner), and wasn't crazy about the omelette he chose. However my mcDish sandwich was amazing.
