We walked in at 10:30pm, they close at 11 We were met with smiles and a table, never felt rushed. Our waitress- fantastic. My Greek Salad - top tier, my 10:45pm fries - hot and crispy! Our "portable to go" dessert - a most delicious Linzer Tart! 10/10 read more

Whew, it's been a few years since I had dropped in here. Stopped today for a quick lunch and was welcomed and seated immediately. I asked the server for a lager on draft and when he returned I ordered one of my favorite diner lunches: the turkey club on wheat toast. I was pleased. They can often be dry but the turkey was good along with the bacon. It could have used more mayo but I usually wind up asking for a cup. Fries were hot and tasty. Even the cole slaw and pickle hit the spot. My only concern was the draft. It did not taste fresh. And I had worked up a thirst. A cold fresh lager should delight the palate. Maybe I should stick to bottles? Very friendly folks and I will try again . read more

It's just one visit for this 5-star review, but we had a very good one, and we're happy to share. While our pet kitty was getting some surgery nearby, we spent several hours over breakfast and beyond enjoying the hospitality and good food at this pleasant diner. It's clean, the staff was extra friendly and efficient, and best of all the expansive menu filled us up deliciously. Any dish on the menu can be served at any time they're open. So while one of us opted for a three-egg cheese omelet -- thank goodness someone in the kitchen knows how to prepare eggs and not over-cook them -- the other ordered liver and onions. At 9:30 a.m. no less. And when they came, they were wonderful, tasty, cooked very rare with scads of sliced onions. Not to everyone's taste, perhaps, but sure did satisfy ours. There was lots of good coffee and tea, lots of smiles with our server, and lots of relaxation for us. Prices are good, about what you should expect for a diner, and we were impressed with how clean it was everywhere, including the bathrooms. We recommend Putnam and look forward to a return, with or without the kitty. BTW, there's a cool little pool out front (see our photo) with a bunch of hungry fish happy to snare any food you might cast their way, and a wishing well to accept coins (please don't feed the fish your coins). Also a nice big parking area. read more

Wonderful local family business with a fantastic staff and great food. Family hosted a baby shower for 60 people and the staff and food was beyond expectations. Everyone commented on what a great place this was to host an event, they even made special accommodations for the children that attended as well as letting us come early to decorate the room. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a place to eat with great food and outstanding service. read more

My best friend & I had breakfast here while we waited for her baby girl to get spayed up the road. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding and the ambiance was chill. We had a wonderful time! We killed over 2 hours just eating & laughing while people watching. We then went outside and took pictures. I give this two thumbs up! read more

Today I came there for lunch with a group from the job I work at. It was 14 of us together. The guy Peter took everyone's order. Everyone ordered different things. Chicken marsala, trout, shrimp platter, ravioli, 2 chicken sandwiches, egg Benedict, 3 cheese burgers and fries, I ordered 2 pancakes. The orders come out, everyone had their order but me. Peter goes to check, they forgot about my order. Mind you, I was the only African American at the table. Everyone was already eating. I told them never mind. read more

One of my favorite diners to go to. I've been going with my family for years. The service is always awesome and the food always comes quickly. I also absolutely adore their fish tank with the fish that always looks like it's smiling and waving. I typically order the turkey club, the gyro, or the eggs Benedict! Try it out! read more

Putnam diner did not disappoint today. I had a chicken cordon blue panini with sweet potato fries and it was so good, it made my husband jealous. My picky 11 year daughter had gyro that she finished completely. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. I took one star off because the table we were seated at wasn't clean. When I said something, they sent a 12 year old kid to clean it. I took the wipe from him and did it myself. Please clean the tables better. read more

This is a great diner for large groups. We gave this diner a heads up that we were coming with a bus group. They seated and served us quickly. Food was great. I appreciate that the Putnam Diner does not try to price gouge large groups with extra fees and gratuities. We look forward to visiting again. read more

I came in to enjoy food with my son and I order breakfast and it took over 5 mins to get my toast. Then I ask for water and never received it. Mean while it's not even busy. Very disappointed. read more

Creepy vibe. Menu was scary big. Can't trust a big menu at a dinner. Could smell dead body.

The food is very good. The people are friendly & helpful. It is a family owned & run business.

Great place for our big group. Huge food selection, so there was something for everyone... even the picky ones. Jen provided excellent service and handled our group like a champ. read more

Horrible service, me and my 2 friends were the only people in the diner yet, we were not being served. Slow service, there was enough staff definitely to be helping more but seemed to be all in the back most likely not doing much. The food was good, and the waitress did seem nice. But there was absolutely nobody serving us, while we were waiting to order dessert or over 40 minutes. Then the bill took probably 20 minutes after dessert to come even though I asked for dessert and the bill at the same time to smoothly leave. Do not come here if you are looking for a quick meal for quick service! read more

Great place! Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or a snack. Food is great as is the service. Owner & daughter very personable & accommodating. There is also s great sit down bar. Love the Legos pieces displayed!! read more

We came here the other night and my friend ordered the Turkey dinner. The Turkey was fresh and moist. The stuffing was surprisingly good as well. Mashed potatoes were creamy and the spinach with rice side was a nice accompaniment was cooked perfect. This diner has improved since the last couple of times I was here. I shall return! read more

The diner was ok the servers were great but the food was horrible, I never knew you could mess up a feta cheese omelette but they did, my brothers eggs were really runny my mom took two bites of her burger and could not finish it. The coffee was bad. Get a new cook read more

Nice place. Food is good. Staff is friendly. And, an impressive collection of Legos done by the son of an employee (perhaps owner?).

Went here on while on vacation, delish. The food was great, the portions were huge. They easily accommodated our party of 8 with no wait. I had the cinnamon raisin French toast, great flavor. I was real bummed because they had no hash browns. Not sure if it's just me, but I was expecting hash brown on the breakfast menu, but no. We were offered fries, but were given diced potatoes, like I said not sure if I was expecting something else, but to me in California fries are french fries not diced potatoes. They had a huge menu for breakfast alone, wish I could have stayed longer to try lunch or dinner menu. The service was exceptional, our server had patience with our party and was very attentive. If given the chance I will eat here again. read more

To say this diner is bad would be putting it gently. I don't think they understand what an omelet is, as my spinach and feta omelet was burned to a crisp, and had absolutely 0 feta in it. They charge $5.00 to add a side of 5 slices of turkey bacon to your breakfast. The home fries are among the worst I've ever had. My breakfast was $28 today. That's insane for such low quality/low effort food. I will never be back. For an area that is comprised of transplants from NYC and Westchester, I'm surprised they're still in business. read more

My friends and I have been happy with every meal served to us at the Putnam Diner. Been going for over 10 years. One night two of us called to see if they were opened and were told they close at 11pm. I was asked how far away we were which was 10 minutes. They kept the diner opened past 11 for us! They got a nice tip. We had French toast w/bacon, orange juice and decaf coffee. We had a happy server that we joked with. Can't say enough good things about the Putnam Diner. read more

Having a fun Thanksgiving night with the gals, Ordered the most scrumptious grilled cheese sandwich I've ever tasted. The waiter, (about 6', dark hair, incredible rizz) absolutely phenomenal. You bet I left the best tip of my life. I hope he had a good Thanksgiving. In fact, I hope he had the best turkey of his life. And if this wasn't such a fine and respectable establishment... I might've even given him a little kiss. read more

Having lived up here 22 years last week and today were my first visits to this diner. The food both times was great. But menu items are way over priced for a diner. Otherwise nice place to come once in awhile. read more

For the 2nd time I found short black hairs in my food. I should have never come back after the first. I avoided for a long time but had come back a handful of times more recently, with minimal issue, because it's a convenient diner. I shouldn't have. The first time the waitress offered to have my food remade, I passed. She stated "it's funny cause none of them have hair back there" Which was not comforting when you find short black hairs in your food. This time, the whole staff was in the kitchen listening to a patron regale them with the story of having just gotten pulled over in the parking lot. No one seemed too hasty or concerned to come out and address the fact that one of their waiters just brought a plate full of hair back to the kitchen, but that's okay. There's nothing to be said. This place is disgusting in so many ways. I would absolutely avoid at all costs. read more

I've been coming here for years now with my family. On occasion I meet friends here for breakfast. Great food at a great value. The staff here make you feel like family. Great place to have a get together with their side bar room. read more

Just moved to the area and this has become my regular place. Excellent food and service.

Best Breakfast Away From Home!! We recently visited New York from San Francisco. And on one of our driving tours we came upon Putnam Diner. First let me admit that I am a breakfast snob of the worst variety. So, my nose was in the air before I even walked in the door. Right away I was impressed by the warm and friendly welcome and genuine smiles. The menu was impressive, lots of yummy choices and "All Day" breakfast. That caught my eye. I immediately zoned in on that. I was not disappointed. The breakfast menu was wide and inviting. But, can they deliver? YES! I had the Waffle breakfast with bacon; and my bacon needs to be just so. It was perfect! The waffle was fluffy and flavorful. On top of that, we had an appointment that we had to get to for a tour and we told our waiter that. She got our hot, delicious food very quickly and we made it right on time. Bottom line: Great customer service. Inviting ambiance. And wonderful food. My friends said the fries were to die for!! Go to Putnam diner. You won't be disappointed. read more

Quiet little diner in a sleepy town. This is a quintessiental local spot and although the food isnt spectacular it serves a good purpose. The omelette with avocado on the side was solid. Service is what you would expect from a diner... Solid and not overally pushy. The wifi however was a little dodgy so don't come here to catch up on work. Overall, it is a cool neighborhood spot. They have both the dining room seating and booth seating. read more

Who knew there was a Patterson in NY? I certainly didn't! I found myself on the road on my way to Massachusetts and made a pit stop at Putnam Diner & Restaurant for some much needed breakfast. Now, I knew I made the right decision when I walked in and there was a sign saying they had pumpkin spiced waffles & pancakes available. Our lovely waitress, Lisa, came over and greeted us and was genuinely such a nice person to talk to. I ordered the eggs benedict, without asparagus, and we shared a pumpkin spiced waffle. The coffee was okay, but nothing to rave about. The food was absolutely delicious and very filling. My favorite part was the pumpkin spice waffle. I would go back to Patterson just for those! It's your typical diner, but I would check it out again if I were to ever find myself in the area again. read more

Driving home from a day trip upstate I stopped into the Putnam Diner. It's been a long time since I've eaten in a diner so this was a little nostalgic. Very pleasantly surprised at the quality of food, the service (thank you Amy you went above and beyond) and value. Everything came out piping hot. I might have preferred more seasoning on the sides I ordered but the truth is they were a lot healthier the way they were served. So many choices! read more

Food was excellent. Fries were nice and crispy and the sandwich was refreshing thanks to the nice crisp veggie toppings! The waitress was also amazing and the food came out fast! Will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu! They have so many great food options who knows if I can?! read more
