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!

I'm fathomed at the thought of one measly slice of ham, egg, and cheese costs $6…read more Hypothetically..let's just say each item which let's be realistic is not the price but let's say a roll was a dollar, an egg is a dollar, a slice of cheese is a dollar, and let's just say that measly slice of ham for argument sake is $1.50. Totaling to $4.50. And or course someone making it for you ok. Two and a half dozen eggs are $7.49, half a pound of ham is less than $6 not for boars head obviously I mean come on, the math is not adding up especially when I'm getting a product like this...in the picture the other half, you can't even see any Ham. Head to Fusaro deli down the road for same price and more enthusiastic service and way better sandwiches. This is my search, and my money spent for the right breakfast sandwich, and I rightfully earned my opinion.

I'm from NJ, so I'm pretty discriminating when it comes to diners. I love this place. Anything I've…read moreever had has been great. Tonight I really wanted a burger with the works. Added grilled onions, avocado, and a fried egg (don't judge). The burger was about 5" across, and they didn't give me just a couple of slices of avocado, they gave me an entire half. . The missus had the chicken souvlaki and ate half. She couldn't eat more than that bc of how big the portion was. We both got fries. The real kind. Ones that crunch and have no grease. Staff and management are attentive and friendly. The place is populated by locals who all seem to know each other and are clearly regulars. Some of them are real characters, so you will sometimes get a show with your dinner at no extra charge. The best part is that the cost is more than reasonable for the portions you get. Head down!

Me and my friend are trying to go to all of the diners in the Fairfield county area as an…read moreexperiment. This diner has been by far the worst one. We walked in, chose a table and waited for 20 minutes before the server noticed us. Food came out and it was okay, Not the best. When it came out it looked great, but lacked in any real flavour, except from the pickle. (what do you expect from Stamford tbh). Room is small, and the booth we sat at is not centred and the table was 6 inches from the seat back on one side, so if you have a horizontally challenged friend, don't sit at a booth. Price was honestly outrageous, don't come here expecting to spend less than 20 dollars a head (15 dollars for chicken tenders???) The bathroom was basic but not bad, the toilet paper was very high up, and it would be hard for a child to reach it. When we were paying at the front, our waiter was basically standing over us watching the tip amount which was slightly awkward. Overall I would rate this a solid 2/5, biggest negative was the price. (Edit the food gave me food poisoning, send help 1/5)

I had a breakfast burrito with long slices of chorizo. I liked that the burrito was grilled so the outside was crispy. It would have been better if the cheese was more evenly distributed and there were too many potatoes for my preference. But still a solid and filling burrito. I could only finish half of it. Staff were friendly and nice.

In case that wasn't a great sign all on its own, then in comes what looked like an entire shift of the Greenwich FD to place THEIR lunch orders. Coolest thing about this place? They have an enclosed outdoor patio surrounded by trees and flowering bushes where you can sit and eat. 10/10 would come here again. Go try it out, you won't regret it!
