Every expectation of a diner/cafe is met here, plus a little extra! It's quick, filling and…read moreaffordable. What more could you ask for? I visit a friend in Norwalk frequently and we make it a point to stop in for breakfast every time I'm around. Whether we've sat at the bar or table, the service has been great. I've tried a few different menu items with no complaints. The food is always fresh and made to order. You can get in and out in less than 45 minutes, depending on how quick you can eat. But I like to take my time and enjoy every last bite.

In need of some breakfast fuel on our roadtrip and decided to stop in here !…read more There's a little parking in the back , but it's off of a Main Street ! The girl greeted us and was very friendly and took our order . Looked very clean inside , we came at like 630 am so it wasn't super busy ! I ordered the California breakfast wrap which was $9 it came with egg, avocado , bacon and pepper jack cheese. It wasn't bad but honestly kinda tiny , there was definitely a lot More room in the wrap than what was put in there . If I was in the area Probably wouldn't come back again, would probably try some where else.

And I love diners and the ambiance here is definitely retro diner! American cuisine at its finest. I got the 1/2 pound angus burger with bacon and fries.

Our go-to CT diner spot (NYC ex-pats approved!)…read more My wife and I used to live in NYC, and like most ex-pats, we consider ourselves absolute "diner people." We seriously missed the vibe, the regulars, and the familiar faces at our old city hangouts when we first moved to Connecticut. Luckily, we've found a few local spots that stepped right into that void, and Darien Diner is easily one of our favorites. First off, the vibe here is awesome. It has that classic, retro stainless steel exterior, a great eat-in counter, old-school soda fountains, and tons of 1950s memorabilia inside. It's always super clean and well-maintained. During the pandemic, they had a makeshift tent and wooden deck for outdoor seating. They took it down a while back, but the *best* news is they just finished building a permanent foundation for a brand new outdoor dining area. My wife and I cannot wait for it to open so we can bring our fur babies along for breakfast again. Speaking of breakfast, they serve it all day and the food is pure American comfort. If you're going the breakfast route, you can't go wrong with the Farmers Omelette, the Two Eggs and Three Meats, or the Protein Breakfast (grilled chicken and tomatoes) if you're trying to be good. For lunch, their Patty Melt is elite, and I'm a massive fan of the Thanksgiving Sandwich (turkey, gravy, cranberry, and stuffing on a flatbread) and their Gyro platter. A quick heads up on timing: this place gets absolutely packed around noon on the weekends--we're talking a line out the door. If you want to sit down, definitely aim for either 11:00 AM or after 1:00 PM to miss the rush. Weekdays are much calmer, but on weekends we usually just order takeout to avoid the crowds altogether. The location is incredibly convenient, right off Exit 13 on I-95. Plus, there's a Splash Car Wash right next door, so we usually kill two birds with one stone and get the car cleaned before or after we eat. Pro-Tip: Just watch your speed when you're getting off the I-95 ramp onto Connecticut Ave. Cops love to hide right there and ticket people catching the light. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a solid, welcoming diner in the area!

We ordered their avocado toast & breakfast burrito with delicious hot and iced lattes. They offer seasonal lattes/coffee drinks (and many other beverages for non-coffee drinkers) along with rotating food specials. From sandwiches and wraps to bowls, salads, quiches and soups, their options are endless. It's a spot that I would definitely go back to try other items on their menu. You can order online ahead for pickup too if you're in a time crunch! The owners and staff are very friendly & knowledgeable.

I've been to this diner many, many times - mostly for breakfast but today was probably my last…read more First let me say, often the experience you have is dependent on your server. I could tell today that our server's comprehension ability was going to be a concern. Sure enough, I was served my order with sides i did not want. Rather than take the plate back and return with the correctly ordered food, he just unloaded the sides to someone else at the table. I have never seen this done before. And I should add we received our food after the large group who was seated after us, received their food. Not once did the waiter re-appear to see how things were or ask if we needed anything, he only appeared after I was able to corral a busboy for more water. And the food - burgers- were tasteless. Sorry Orem's it was nice while it lasted.

But the "Short Stack French Toast" was two pieces, side-by-side, of lightly coated bread with a take-out plastic side of maple/breakfast syrup. Over $40 for me and a 3 year old is absolutely insane and so disappointing. There are less expensive diners around. Try Dimitri's in Ridgefield... they at least put in a bit of effort.

That young waitress was ridiculing us, in spanish because she thought we couldn't understand her. I never let on that I understood them and I certainly didn't tell my elderly friend what transpired. Needless to say, I will never be returning and I certainly will not be recommending this Diner to anyone.
