Great diner experience! Would like to give their bar a shot next time I'm in! Lots of seating, did not feel cramped In the booths, also very clean. Our server was quick to take our orders and was very nice. Did not take long to get our orders despite it being a lunch rush, and they were able to get us a last minute to go order in perfect time by the end of meal. Ordered the chicken souvlaki, which came with a Greek salad and fries or potato salad. I opted for the potato salad. I was very happy with my food as was everyone else in our party. Will definitely come back! read more

Always passed by this diner, thought I'd give it a try. Spacious entry way, greeted by a very sweet young lady. Restaurant is very clean. I liked the old time look of the place with juke boxes at each table. My waitress Celeste was so gracious and accommodating . Never saw a glass of juice so small, it was so cute! Ordered the #3, eggs, toast, potatoes, beverage, added bacon. My over-easy eggs were perfect, the potatoes were a little hard and not very well-seasoned. All-in-all, a very nice breakfast. read more

I'm not one to complain but I had breakfast this morning at the Halfmoon Diner and was surprised at the lack of taste my meal had. There was no seasoning on the breakfast potatoes/home fries or the eggs. I also remember the potatoes having sautéed onions included, there wasn't any in my home fries. The glass of juice which came with the meal has been reduced to maybe 4 oz, it was larger. My sister had pancakes and she was happy with her meal. The service is still great. Very attentive and friendly. Just hoping they improve the egg breakfast. read more

Great diner. Those bad stars are misplaced. It is a real nice shiny silver diner, with people that actually welcome the guests. The food (see pics) was made fast and served hot at the counter! Fluffy pancakes were plenty fat and tasty wraps, too. Fantastic all round diner food in a clean spot! Good for bar hopping: it includes a full service booze and liquor rack. Review: 5+ read more

Not sure what's happening or this is just how they make it. Ordered a roasted turkey sandwich. Only got turkey and lettuce on the bread no tomato no mayo, not even cheese, dry as can be. Not sure if you're cutting corners or trying to save on cost, but it's a little disappointing and doesn't make you wanna return or order again read more

Visiting the area while my mom is in rehab. On the way home I remember this diner from when I used to live here. Decided to give it a try. Ordered a chicken salad sandwich with bacon on rye. Asked for lettuce tomato on the side and coleslaw. It honestly came out pretty quickly and brought it home and it was delicious! Huge serving and I think I'll have lunch for tomorrow. The coleslaw was nice and milky and had a little sweetness to it which I wasn't sure I would like but I loved it! It went great with my black raspberry milkshake I got it Stewart's. Haha. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and it even looks like they have a full bar if you feel like a cocktail. read more

Great Greek/American diner. Good portions at a fair price. Even the liver and onions was good.

Juice included with breakfast the size of 2 small shot glasses. Insulting. Check came before having a bite or two of the meal too. Quality and value have gone down here. read more

I find the service to be excellent. Friendly staff and knowledgeable regarding the menu. The food is consistently good. I typically order the same thing each time I go. I'm a creature of habit. The desserts are amazing. I love the Lemon Meringue Pie. Reminds me of Freihofer's when I was a kid and the truck would come around. I have never been rushed at Halfmoon Diner. I've been going there for 20 years at least. More frequently now that I live in the Clifton Park area. read more

We were recommended to go here from our receptionist at the dr office. She was right! It was good. Food and service were great. Don't get me started on the fresh baked individual cookies at the counter on the way out. Don't make the mistake I did. Buy more than one. Its was a very friendly atmosphere and clean place. read more

Not what it used to be. Food quality has gone down. I had the Broiled Seafood Platter. Scallops were over cooked and rubbery. Others in my party also disappointed. read more

Lunch at 1:15 pm on a Wednesday. I do not think I have given a review with Two Stars before. So I am thinking: Is it justified? It is. Let me count the ways. I ordered the Wednesday Special of Pot Roast. It was tough, inedible! Please check out my photo! The vegetable was mundane. The salad had past due pieces of lettuce in it. The Italian Wedding Soup was good. This may sound petty, but the one package of crackers served to me was in pieces. When I told the server I could/would not eat the beef, he said I could pick out something else. He never came back to the table! No eye contact. Walked briskly by booth several times. My husband had the Eggs with Virginia Ham Breakfast. He ordered wheat toast but received white bread. The home "fries" were unique in look which was a surprise. The potatoes were sliced thin; they looked and tasted steamed. Bland. The eggs were fine, and the slice of ham was large. $15.49 The server only charged us for the breakfast. Right thing to do. Just when I thought nothing else could be sketchy. The woman at the cash register was having an animated conversation with someone on her ear bud. Rude. No eye contact. Barely mumbled a thank you. We decided we will never return to this diner! Too many negatives including mediocre food, poor service , and bad attitude from server, the older person in charge, and cashier. Sign on jukebox at our booth said Out of Order. The diner seemed out of order. We are regulars at the Blue Ribbon in Schenectady that is a first class diner. Consistent good service and food over the years. Even the desserts in the case at Halfmoon Diner appeared to be inferior in variety and appearance to those at the Blue Ribbon. read more

Visited on a Sunday and the Halfmoon Diner was jammed. Seeing in upwards of 40 people waiting for tables evoked fond memories of my childhood. Thankfully, there were open counter seats. Guy at the front of the house was brusque--at best--but I can't imagine how to manage a crowd like this in 2023 without everyone despising you. Waitress was nice. Service was lightning fast and I was in and out in 20 minutes or less. The menu has good variety and the food, though giving the impression of being slammed together, was pretty good. read more

I've been going to Halfmoon Diner for the past year, and the food has always been great--I've never had a problem. However, I was extremely disappointed by my experience during my visit today. As my girlfriend and I were paying for our lovely meal at around 1:58 pm, I overheard two servers making racist remarks about the **federal holiday Juneteenth**, which commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. A tall, young, blonde white woman was following an older white woman, and they were exchanging inappropriate and offensive comments--saying that Juneteenth shouldn't exist or that it should be "their" holiday instead. Their behavior was highly disrespectful and completely unacceptable. I'm very disappointed, especially considering the otherwise positive experiences I've had at this diner. read more

I've had breakfast here and the food was awesome so I came here for lunch with a couple of friends after a nearby appointment. Lunch was less than memorable. My scallops and shrimp were way overcooked and were like rubber and my fish fillet was swimming and some sort of buttery oily Liquid. The frozen peas and carrots were not edible whatsoever and tasted like they could've had freezer burn. The rice on the other hand was good. I don't think I would ever order seafood here again. Probably better off sticking with something simple like a burger. read more

Food is fantastic. Service was excellent Ambiance was local diner diner hum. Don't miss this one! read more

Pretty good diner. Large menu. I got the greek salad and added gyro strips. Just what I expected. Tasted as expected. No complaints at all. Service was curt and efficient. If I am in the area and wanted diner food I would not hesitate and stop back in to try other items. Not all specials on the board had prices. Server didn't mention any specials. Parking wasn't crowded on a Monday late lunchtime. read more

The worst breakfast I've ever had. The Eggs Benedict Florentine was slop. Boiled spinach loaded on the English muffin making it soggy, eggs over done, if the Canadian bacon was there, I didn't see it. The hollandaise sauce was terrible. The potatoes were over done. I won't be back. Two stars was generous. read more

I've eaten here before and the food was always meh and I know people who got food poisoning after eating here so I won't go here again. And no this isn't misplaced and I have no agenda. read more

Just had lunch with three friends there...horrible. 2 had Corned Beef sandwiches, you could have used the meat to shingle a roof. 1 had fried scrod, bone dry, like the corned beef. I had a tasteless tuna wrap. I don't think they drained the tune it was dripping liquid. Our server wanted to be anywhere but there, could not have been less interested in his job. I been to this diner before, it's either changed ownership, chefs, or just stopped caring about quality. My last visit for sure. read more

Halfmoon Diner is just another generic and average diner that does nothing to separate itself from others. There is nothing wrong with that, but I do wish these diners would try harder. With that in mind, I ordered the griddle deluxe with a side of home fries. The griddle deluxe came with three pancakes, one egg, sausage, ham, and bacon. To start, the pancakes were the generic boxed kind and were nothing special. The pancakes were cooked perfectly at least. Next, I ordered the egg over easy and they cooked it right, but a little seasoning would have been nice. Furthermore, the ham wasn't great. It had a weird flavor to it and I didn't like it at all. After that, I tried the bacon and sausage and these were easily the best things here. The bacon was crispy with just the right amount of fat. The sausage was big, juicy, and had excellent taste. I really enjoyed both of these meats. Next, I sampled the home fries and I was incredibly disappointed with them. They were dry, bland, boring, and flavorless. I don't understand why it's so hard for diners to make good home fries. I can make delicious home fries at my house in about ten minutes. With everything that has been said, Halfmoon Diner is just another run of the mill diner, but it is pretty cheap. read more

We live super close to this gem and do not visit often enough! They are a well established diner located in beautiful Halfmoon. There is usually a wait on Sundays but it is worth it. They are very fair about the waiting time and they have a comfortable waiting area. The waitstaff is phenomenal and efficient. Ordering is a breeze and the food comes out hot, fast and delicious. The waitstaff is very attentive-checking in and refilling your coffee often. I do not want to forget the bus staff-they are super efficient as well. Very clean environment. I highly recommend this locally owned business!! read more

Wow. Been coming here for years. Never again. The waitresses here are miserable excuses. Our waitress literally set her tray down on our table and walked away. She clearly doesn't want to work there. The manager is a joke. read more

Two years ago when I moved here this place was OK. Typical diner food not over the top but clean friendly service now it's a different story. The food looks totally different. I ordered a salad that was looking like chopped up kale with salty, horrible Caesar dressing and some shrimp and a coin in my salad.. when I pointed it out to the waiter instead of apologizing, he kept insinuating that he couldn't possibly be their fault. Oh this is never happened and all these years..... I'm disgusted and I'm literally still nauseated. Not even an apology. if I had swallowed the nickel in my plate, maybe I would've choked to death that would've been an entirely different review now wouldn't it? read more

Our group of four are here twice for breakfast during our 3-night visit. $5.00 Mimosas & Bloody Mary's! Can't beat that! Huge wait on Sunday but worth it. Huge food portions. We sat in Joe's section on our first visit and wow, he was fabulous! Joe was funny, engaging and a joy to speak with. We asked for his section on our next visit. Great service, & a mustache that was on point! Thank you Joe! read more

We've been here a number of times over the last twenty-plus years, typically for breakfast at various hours of the day. Today was no exception. While most everyone else was enjoying a Friday lunch, we had a craving for a tasty, filling breakfast. There was the usual warm welcome and prompt seating followed up by our friendly, humorous server requesting our choice of beverage. Coffee ($1.89 each with unlimited refills) for both of us, please! My wife's craving was for French Toast made from their homemade challah bread. Choosing a combo of 2 slices, 2 eggs, and 2 sausages is a good deal at $10.50. The challah is thick, yet light and airy with a good amount of egg flavor. Too bad they don't offer an option of real maple syrup. My choice was for their Griddle Cakes Deluxe ($9.47) consisting of 3 pancakes, 1 egg, a large slice of ham, 1 sausage, and 2 slices of bacon. Another excellent deal. Both of us were given plenty of butter and those standard containers of "breakfast syrup." All the food was good and it satisfied both of our cravings. Our only disappointment was that the food was no longer hot by the time it got brought to our table. Unrelated observation: It's amazing how many customers leaving the register after paying their bill will choose to NOT use the provided tongs to take a complimentary cookie and will use their fingers instead! read more

Got a hot chocolate very good. We always enjoy the soups here. It seems to be an older clientele with the food being a little bland. It seems quiet as there was no radio on. Here's the worst thing though, there is no Heinz Ketchup!!' That is a sin in its self but the fact the horrid substitute wasn't even Hunts is mind blowing to me. Anyone know anyone who uses Americans Classic Ketchup??? read more

The food tends to be decent but it's expected considering it's a cheap dinner to eat at. I gave it a three star due to the service. For some reason the times that we have gone, the servers look more and more miserable, barely any communication, won't even come by the table once to see if we need anything when we do, and oddly enough they just stop saying thank you and you're welcome. The mood is very depressing but that depends on what time of the day you do in and what day of the week. The ugly rooster dinner is a better choice read more

A classic Greek diner with a warm comfort, food feel. The wait and host staff treat you like family and we are regulars on Sunday morning. There's steak, eggs and Lox's bagel all the way never disappoint. I still want to get one of their bloody Mary's however, I'm always there before they can serve them. Next time. read more

Our family stopped for lunch today as we have been to the diner several times. Unfortunately this is the last time we will be going. The host was not welcoming at all. He was short and gruff as we waited for our other family members to arrive. More importantly the adult meals were a big disappointment. The meals were a BLT, french dip and an omelette. Without going into details these should have been straight forward to serve but did not taste good. Oh well sooo disappointing.... read more

There is a difference between fast service and shove everything in your face at once and get out service. I received the latter. The very small cup of flavorless soup came a minute after ordering and the turkey dinner arrived so fast that the soup was only half eaten. Everything was just as tasteless as the soup and the stuffing was pure mush. Then the check arrived before i was halfway done with the turkey. Never again read more

Halfmoon is an excellent diner where you'll get all your diner classics from omelettes to meatloaf at a reasonably low price. It's one of the better diners in the area and seems to still be family run. On my latest trip, I took a risk outside the normal diner fare and was pleasantly surprised by a braised lamb shank that was delicious. If you're in the area it's worth a stop. read more

I had always wanted to try this Diner near Clifton Park. I real liked the ambiance- quiet and traditional. The waitress was wonderful and we tipped her generously. I was surprised by the cold unfriendly- almost rude -manner of the Host who sat us. I was friendly with him and he responded with cold silence, not a word spoken. Just pointed at a table and walked away. Very surprising and not experienced this in the area before. read more
