We have been here several times for breakfast and have always been very satisfied the the food and friendly service. We were dining in to yesterday, 05/29/30, and were once again very pleased. Our server, Gloria, was pleasant and friendly. My wife's banana pecan waffles and my eggs Benedict were stellar. One day we will return for lunch. Looking forward! read more

Twice I've put in to go orders ,and twice they forgot the Bacon ,but this is a diner ??? How do you forget bacon?? Called and person that answered phone said we didn't charge you for it ,there missing the whole point,would rather have it and pay for it ,then get home and notice main part of order isn't there,shame on management read more

We hesitated to go here because of the mediocre reviews. But it turned out to be excellent! Best cheeseburger club I've had in ages. Not those thin food service frozen burgers but a fresh patty. Gluten free bread was nicely toasted (harder to toast - takes extra effort.). Tuna sandwich very generous and nice balance of LTO. Crinkle cut fries were not at all greasy. Side salad also very fresh, well prepared and generous portion. Will definitely go again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very clean and the service was kind and attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's an older diner but in good condition.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't hesitate. read more

This used to be my favorite diner in Danbury. Now, it's my only diner in Danbury. Great food, great prices, great and friendly service. No disappointments! read more

I was worried when I saw the 3 star average rating on Yelp but was pleasantly surprised when we got our cheeseburger platters. Although the fries and onion rings were of the frozen variety there was large servings and the waitress was very nice. I would stop by again. read more

Great breakfast, fast and attentive service--very accommodating. Will be back next time we're in Danbury.

This is my favorite local diner for breakfast. Food is well prepared, consistently good, and not greasy or overcooked. Their Country Benny is one of my favorites. read more

I am from California, and I was recommended to try this restaurant. It is absolutely excellent. Try the pumpkin spice pancakes.

Please answer your phone. Don't put me through to a robot and then never answer the call.

How could a "plain vanilla" diner rate a 5 star review from VERY serious food folks?! EASY! When the staff is accommodating, at least one of the owners has formal culinary education and the product on the plate is exactly as requested read more

This is a great spot for reasonably priced comfort food. We've been here a couple of times and the staff is always so friendly and the service is quick. The food is tasty and portions are very generous. We could seriously split a sandwich and be full...not that we do, but we could! Their burgers are very good, full of flavor and very juicy. Whatever special cake or pie they have, get that if you want some sweets, you can't go wrong. Great place! read more

Ordered online and when I picked up the order was incorrect. I made 2 trips back into the restaurant to have them correct the order. The manager, a weasel of man, acted irrationally. Followed me to my car and was screaming ridiculously. Very unsettling to say the least. Never got the order. Had to go online and get a refund. read more

We were in the area for breakfast on a weekend morning, so we decided to stop in at Mill Plain since it was the closest diner to where we were coming from. We were seated quickly, and the staff got our food out to us quickly. I had the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs, which wasn't bad, and my fiancé ordered the short rib hash and eggs, which we both agreed was just average as well. The short rib didn't have much flavor at all, and some of our breakfast potatoes were a bit crunchy, alluding to how they should've been cooked a little longer. The diner itself had a cute, classic feel to it which is why it drew us in too. I don't see ourselves coming back unfortunately with there being so many other options in the area. read more

Mill Plain Diner - Short Rib Hash and Eggs - New American Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Wow. Where to begin? Went in for brunch on a weekday with hubby. I ordered their "homemade" corned beef hash and eggs, hubby had corned beef sandwich. HORRIBLE on both. I tasted his beef, and it tasted BAD, as in old. My hash was closer to dog food (no, really, it was) than CBH. I mean, I use Mary Kitchen CBH at home and it's LOADS better in quality out of a can. I asked for grilled tomatoes in place of any starch, and got sliced tomatoes barely warm. My husband's fries were the usual frozen, garden-variety, and not cooked long enough; not even hot, really. Did this short-order cook have an appointment to go to? He certainly seemed to not have enough time to cook...it *did* come out super fast, actually. Well, *we* had an appt to go to. So we ate...hubby wouldn't believe me on the sandwich, but he took half home, then I threw it out before he could find it, lol. I told the hostess/manager how bad things were as we paid, and she was VERY nice, comped more than half my meal and said she'd speak to the cook. But, um...not going back anytime soon. Too bad, because the service, meaning the waitress, was excellent. She deserves 5 stars just for working there. I do NOT recommend this place, which is a shame, because it used to be dependably good. read more

Well first time coming here to this diner. Wasn't bad and my turkey bacon blt was slapping. It gave what it was giving. read more

Mill Plain Diner - Just some fries that was good. - New American Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

This is a local diner, with a great menu selection. Their dessert displays looked phenomenal! The first thing you see, walking in, grabbing your attention were those muffins. Almost like they came out of the wax museum, ha! The menu selections were very diverse.. it had the usual comfort foods and then some. The food results came out very solid. Table service was very nice. The entire place is very tidy. In addition, it was such a large place, seating was ample, but it was still over 50% filled up for a non-lunch, non-dinner odd hour. This goes to show that the establishment has a very good customer base. The main attraction for this review is the customer service, that went above and beyond. The lady who took our payment ran out to the parking lot to try to catch us, because I left an item. We were literally pulling out of the driveway spot, and the lady told us we were going the wrong direction. Yikes! Please support your local businesses! read more

I got the bolognese. My Italian heart was INSULTED. I had never had anything so horrible. It was chunks of ground meat and chunks of pork in a red "sauce" (more of straight tomato paste). It was disgusting. I should hope their more diner-like foods are better but I can only attest to what I ate, which made me want to throw up. The interior was redecorated somewhat recently I think, and it's a lot better than before. The waitress was very friendly. read more

A great classic with great food and service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The whole family was able to enjoy their meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I was in the area for a few days and stopped by here twice. Both times we got great service and good food. Nothing extraordinary, just good, solid diner food at a reasonable price with quick service. Everyone that was with me had no complaints. Breakfast is pretty hard to screw up, so I can't speak to the other menu choices. The pancakes were good and filled the plate. The omelet I ordered was large enough to fill me up. Server was nice and kept our drinks full. One person in the group got a breakfast bowl and it was huge. If you are extra hungry get one with an extra egg. read more

The Reuben is excellent, with tasty sauerkraut and lots of corned beef. I ordered a Caesar salad which was also very good. Brisket appetizer was delicious. The diner is a classic one with cool decorations and paintings. Service is pretty good. The cookies are enormous, but can be crumbly. read more

We went to The Mill Plain Diner in Memorial Day for breakfast and it was super busy. We only waited about 5 minutes and then we were seated. The waitress was at our table in less than 5 minutes. We ordered and waited about maybe 15 minutes (which is very quick when it's so busy) and we got our breakfast. I ordered steak and eggs, steak medium rare eggs over easy, homefries well done with rye toast. They got everything right except my steak (which came well done) but it was not bad at all. The waitress offered to make me another steak but it was fine. When I went to the counter the owner asked how everything was and I told him about my steak and he took my breakfast off the bill. I really wanted to pay as I did eat the steak he wouldn't let me, so to say the food and service was exceptional is not enough. Way to go Mill Plain, I'll be back many, many more times. 5 stars all the way! read more

We were around the corner and decided to stop here. We had heard good things. The diner is acute place and has a good and cute vibe inside. As soon as we arrived we were seated. They were busy but not lunch crowded which for lunchtime on a Saturday I'm not sure if that was a good thing. My husband just wanted a snack so he ordered a grilled cheese and a side of fries, I ordered falafel with GF bread and hot cocoa with no whip cream. My hot cocoa came with white cream had to send it back. Fine, no issues. Our waitress was super friendly. However when our bill came we were astounded everything was billed separately. The grill cheese was one price, fries another, my falafel one price the bread another even though the bread was originally part of the meal and normally GF bread is an extra $2 anywhere we go they tried charging me $6 for 2 slices of GF toast. We took the bill to the front and dealt with it there they got snotty with us. We said forget it paid it and said never coming back again. Absurd! read more

Service was real slow. Food was bland. Menu options were limited compared to other diners

my husband and I had supper there last night. The place was spotless and the menu had plenty to,chose from in each category. I had gluten free blueberry pancakes . they where big and delicious our waitress was Elisabeth, very sweet friendly and efficient. Will be going back for sure Judy and Gary read more

The best diner in Danbury. I love the quality of food for the price, the big portions and the friendly staff. Where I come into town this is my go to breakfast place. read more

This is a nice diner. Clean and modern. Nice people at the counter and good service. In two visits I've had the moussaka for lunch and the hash and eggs at breakfast. The moussaka was good. A nice portion and well seasoned. The hash is another story. I'm always looking for good homemade hash and this was promised to be that. Expensive at $13 but should be worth it. I even confirmed "homemade" with the waitress. There's no way it's homemade! How do I know? Because it looks and tastes EXACTLY like the stuff I get out of a can. Minuscule pieces of meat and superfine diced potatoes with a mushy consistency. The canned stuff I make at home is actually better because I grill it to a nice crust. read more

One of the better diners in town! My favorite is their French onion soup. As a photo foodie, it's perfect for those action shots. Every time I go here I'm pretty satisfied. Mill Plain continues to be consistent and flavorful read more

Service from the man with a beard and glasses at the front of the diner was horrible. Not sure if he is the owner or manager but he is annoyed by the customers and not afraid to rudely show it and humiliate them. food isn't good enough to tole that treatment. so many other diners in the area to chose from! read more

Avoid this one like the plague. Iceberg lettuce the primary green in my Cobb salad. No vinaigrette offered or available, only a blue cheese dressing goop (attached picture here) Rubbery chicken inedible (cheapest chicken at BJ's no doubt), no avocado, no bacon, not a Cobb salad, more like a blob salad. Over ripe cherry tomatoes. Yuck! Wifey had a wrap with fries. Classic brand ketchup (picture attached). To cheap for Heinz, thenketchup gold standard, even at diners. Tea without side tim hot water, just a little cup. Had to ask for more hot water when the server, who spoke only a little English, stopped in the table area. Last, when you pay, the guy at the counter asks if you want to leave the tip on your credit card which of course most people do. Then he ask how much and you have to verbally tell him. Guilt prevents most from tipping based on the actual service quality. Whatever, never again! Server barely speaks English read more
