A great diner. Not living in Vermont but it doesn't matter. This dinner was better than my local dinners in my state. The food excellent. I got the House Burger. The burger was well cooked. The cheese was melty. I would suggest a different bun. The fries were crisp not soggy which you do not always find. The service was great. We were seated immediately. Took a good time for the food to come to us. The server did not forget any part of our meal except refilling the ketchup bottle but it is not a big deal. The overall look of diner looked average. There was no unique decor of the place. Diners should be unique read more

This place has great food and friendly service. I eat here regularly and it's always a good experience.

The service here is always great and the food is delicious. This restaurant is underrated on Yelp. Go try for yourself, you won't be sorry.

Good food ,you never leave hungry. Prices are OK and you get good service. My biggest problem is now and then I like hot hamurgers. I would hope they'd go back to restaurant gravy. The homemade stuff is not as good. This could get you an extra star. read more

I feel bad people give them a low rating. Yes the decor is outdated and it's a diner but the staff was super friendly. I found the breakfast dishes we ordered to be very good and large quantity for a reasonable price. We went when it wasn't too busy around 9:30 am and service was speedy. People need to be kinder and not so entitled and mean to businesses that are short staffed and struggling during these times. It's Great to even have a breakfast place to dine wince there aren't many around. read more

St. Albans Diner - Eggs, bacon and waffle - Diners Near Me - St. Albans, Vermont

I don't know, folks... A little too dank and dated for me. Long story short, we ordered diner food, we got diner food. Nothing special, and nothing overly terrible, but the place does seem stuck in past decades. No innovation, no updating of the interior, and man, stay out of the Bathrooms! I guess when the wait staff come out and never crack a smile, just there to take that order to the back and call it a wrap, it leaves you with the feeling would have been better (and cheaper) just to stay home, pop out a carton of eggs + some meat and do your own thing. read more

The choices were between an Idaho omelette or a chicken omelette. The chicken was a dollar more. I asked if I could get the Idaho with chicken instead of sausage. It was $2 more... silly to me. The seat backs are super hard and uncomfortable. Cute fall decor all around. The bathrooms are super old and dark and makes you feel uncomfortable. (See photo) The food was not so good, no flavor at all. Looked good, but literally zero flavor... the Hollandaise sauce was good, so I put that on everything. I really wouldn't suggest going here. There is a diner right across the street with amazing reviews. We will be going there next time. (The maple city diner) read more

St. Albans Diner - two plates of food - Diners Near Me - St. Albans, Vermont

I will start by saying that they are short staffed and we're busy. After waiting for 30 minutes to place our orders, we then waited again for our food to arrive. When it arrived my omelet was incorrect and I was not able to eat it due to dietary restrictions. The waitress told me I could order a new omelet but still had to pay for what I couldn't eat. At the end I paid for food that went wasted and I was still hungry. I hope the $10 was worth losing customers over. I will never return. read more

My husband, son and I came here for breakfast on a sunday morning, even though they were fairly busy, our waitress greeted us promptly, she was very friendly. The wait time between placing our orders, the St. Albans #2 and 2 western omletes, was about 10 minutes. I work in a rest, and considering how busy the diner was, that's great time! Our food arrived hot and delicious! Everything was make correctly, and our server returned twice during our meal to check on us. It did take a little longer for her to get our check, but not a huge deal! All in all it was a great meal, total was about $40. We left her a $10 tip, and all 3 of us left full, and happy with our experience! Thank you St. Albans diner! read more

I come to this area a few times a year for work for a couple days at a time. Ate here last time I was in town but thought I'd give them another try. Worse than before. Waitresses are friendly enough but the food is pretty bad. I was tired of fast food so thought I would try the chicken lunch plate. It came with 4 pieces of the scrawniest,over cooked chicken I have ever had. So over cooked that the batter was almost black on the smaller pieces. Runny ,luke warm instant mashed potatoes ,and cold out of the can veggies. Wasn't much for $12.00. Last time in I had the open faced turkey. You could tell the gravy was canned and the meat had been frozen. It will keep you from starving to death but other than that I can find no redeeming qualities for this place. I think I'll try the place across the street tomorrow. read more

St. Albans Diner - Diners Near Me - St. Albans, Vermont

They used to be so good and now they aren't, and price gouging for tips is a bit ridiculous. 19% added on without telling anyone is not alright. read more

Eat there at least once week. Love the staff and owners. Great food, prompt service, wonderful staff. I've never had anything from the menu that I didn't like, breakfast-lunch-dinner!! read more

Not bad food but nothing to be wowed about. The place looks like exactly what it is, a dinner. Old decorations, old tables, fans above. I ordered the eggs, bacon and pancakes. Eggs were a bit oily, bacon was thin and crispy and pancakes were ok. Would not come back unless I absolutely had too. read more

Came here two days in a row and had some pretty darn good breakfast. The pancakes and waffles were delicious. All food was fresh and came out pretty quickly. The service was even better as the wait staff was very attentive. Very accommodating of larger groups. As for the COVID restrictions, they were very clear of the requirements and all wore masks. I would definitely come back here if I stay in the area again. read more

Would leave zero stars if possible. Food is complete garbage, not worth the price. Owner also tried adding extra fees on to the bill for an extra empty plate being at the table ( this plate they brought also had hair on it). When told that not paying for those scam fees the owner called the police. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

Best French toast. Best Sunnyside up eggs. Always really hot. Not so good omelet. Great waitresses.

good food, but awful prices and service. waitress saw us maybe twice, we had to ask the kitchen for sauces instead. ten bucks for a side of fries. ended up being a 60 dollar lunch for two. not worth it. read more

The worst dining experience of my life. Short staffed, long wait, bland food. It did come out hot so thats a bonus. If you want to sit in a restaurant and look at people sitting around without food or service this is the place for you. Ohh and the mens bathroom is out of order, so theres that too. read more

I have been here twice. Both times I was not impressed. No hostess to help you find a table, just sit where you want and someone will find the time to come help you. Drinks came relatively fast, however it took a while for the waitress to come back to take our order. The waitress was friendly but very distracted. She was cleaning random things while our food was cooking. When the food came out she did not return to us until it was time to give us the bill. The food is typical for this type of place however I did not find that the portion size was enough to fill me. Overall there are better places to go than St Albans Diner. Would I go there again? Maybe if my friends wanted to go but not on my own. read more

Not impressed! Burgers were overly compressed and hard fatty grits. Onion rings were thin and tasteless. Hair found in food. NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO HERE! I should have stayed home and had left overs! read more

Its certainly dated decor. There is no background music, but the place is clean. The open-faced turkey sandwich was delicious. I thought it was interesting they put the gravy on the fries as well. If in the area, I would return. read more

St. Albans Diner - Good food, efficient service. - Diners Near Me - St. Albans, Vermont

Paid over 8 dollars for 1 fricken waffle and shotty service. She didnt check on our table once. Wont be back. When I asked about the price I just got a shoulder shrug. I didnt bother fighting it, Ive worked in food and I wasnt impressed, but Im not going to make a scene. Other than that, food is just diner food, not very good, but you go because its there. Dated decor, and over priced for the quality of food and service. read more

Best diner in St Albans area, we come here occasionally. The gyro platter is excellent.

The menu is incorrect. Do not attempt to point this out to the owner, as he will make it the customer's fault. He is all about money and not about the customer. Either the menu should be updated, or what the menu says should be honored. Treat customers with respect. read more

I attempted to order an omelette but sub potatoes (in the omelette) with mushrooms, would have cost $2, so I stick with how it normally comes. The waitress said the chef refuses to sub anything, she looked afraid to even ask him. Considering there was only 2 other tables (one already eating) the food took way to long to come out. The omelette itself wasn't too bad, but seriously lacking filling. The potato's tasted old, had a hardened dryish texture on the outside, probably cooked a few days ago. The cook could use a lesson in how to season food. Decor wise the place is bland, old, and better lighting would be nicer. It has the look and feel of basement. It's laughable the amount of passive aggressive notes directed at customers posted everywhere in this place, several right on the front door, super unwelcoming; it's like being attacked for just looking at theestablishment. Tabletops and floors were clean but the window sills haven't been cleaned in a while. If you happen to find yourself going to this place stop and go across the street to the other diner, it's better overall. read more

Would leave 0 stars if I could. A soup and sandwich were ordered (2 separate meals) and because two people shared the sandwich the owner tried charging $3 extra! He said it was because of the extra plate that now had to be washed, except the plate wasn't even used because there was a giant nasty hair on it when they brought it out! Avoid at ALL costs! Plus the food was disgusting! read more

One of my faves for a cheap casual eat. Prices are good, food is good, and staff are friendly. One of those mom and pop diners where you aren't gonna get gourmet but you will be full and happy! read more

Food was typical diner food, so I would rate that as a three. Service was barely ok. The wait to get our breakfast was an hour and a half- horrendous for breakfast! We ordered and forty-five minutes later they came out to tell us they were out of one of the breakfast specials... Another 10 minutes to replace that order and another 35 minutes to get our food. Never again. read more

I went for breakfast/brunch this past Sunday. It was fairly busy. Table turn over time was spot on. But the food was the worst. I ordered the Vermonter Skillet : Apples, cheddar cheese, onions, home fries and bacon with 2 poached eggs - the entire thing was dripping with grease and the eggs were overcooked to the point of being hard. I was unimpressed. The waitress didn't do anything, except ask if my eggs were okay... which give me the impression that she knew they were over cooked. She didn't smile, tell us the specials, check in on us or clear dirty plates. Won't go there again. read more

The absolute worst diner I've ever been in. The French onion soup was old rye, wheat,(whatever was laying around) bread floating in slop that must've come out of the sink. Everything else was covered in grease, even the grease tasted old. I'll never go back. read more

We went there today (Easter Sunday), and it was 12:30pm, and there were only 2 other sets of customers in the other table/booths. The place across the street was packed with cars. The coffee was not that good, and the food was okay, but nothing to brag about. The coleslaw was very coarse and not that good. We had gone there about a year before, and this place has gone downhill quite a bit. We had heard (and today saw with our own eyes), that when they wash the tables, they only use water, and that's exactly what they did today. We have heard other things negative, but will not state what we heard as we did not witness first hand. The menu has a LOT of items on it, but based on the lack of customers, I don't know how they can have such a large inventory on hand when the demand does not seem that great. The price on what we paid was not the best value. Won't come here again. read more

- zero 8.99 for half a sandwich made wrong! no f**** way , the soup tasted like nothing , and price one the menu was not that much for 1/ sandwich and soup. Also on the menu my husband got a turkey meal price on menu was 14.99 charged us 15.99 said his soup was includeled then processed to charge extra for it. I will never ever return and i hope no one else goes there , never been to a diner and the bill be 48,79 for shit food. read more

The St. Albans Diner should not be the name of this restaurant, a more fitting name would be the St. Albans Disaster. The portions are insanely small, the coleslaw is sour, the service is horrible, all-in-all its horrible. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anybody unless they have no sense of taste. read more

A nice little all-day breakfast diner. I usually go for the chicken tenders here, extra spicy. The quality can be spotty though. The last few times I ordered take out, the tenders were soggy and not at all spicy. The onion rings have been sub par lately as well. The breakfast dishes are quite good but not especially great. The service is attentive and friendly. Good portions on the breakfast food and the eating area is fairly clean for a diner. There's not a lot of parking but it seems to support a quick in quick out kind of crowd. read more

Will never go here ! I can promise that! Our lovely waitress ran out to our car tonight after we had dinner with my brother, sister in law and all of our kids. She proceeded to run her mouth to us about the tip that was left for her. Mind you our tip all together was fair. She then proceeded to swear at my brother and handed his money back(I didn't receive my tip back nor was either asked for) she then said the owner told her to go out to us and say something to us about the tip. This all took place in front of our children two babies and a four year old. My brother and his wife went in to talk to the owner and of course nothing was done and they defended her. I will never return! Very unprofessional oh and If you need a name her name was Brenda. I will NEVER return which is quite sad seeing how we all eat there frequently! Clearly more often then they deserve! Maple City will receive our business along with my families. What a joke. Truly disappointed and how dare she do that in front of our children and swear and throw money. Unbelievable I'm so angry! read more

Good food, friendly service, and a nice, old fashioned diner. This is the sort of place I miss from home. The kind of place where you can get a cup of joe on the house while you enjoy some good steak and eggs. I've never been very snobby, so I don't need perfection, but some good home cooking is always a plus in my book :) read more

Just came from the St Albans diner. I ordered scrambled eggs with feta, home fries and rye toast. The home fries had been sitting around on the grill for hours, hard as a rock. Eggs were ok but no feta to be seen. Toast was soggy, drooped when I picked it up. Coffee was good. When she gave me the bill I said I just want to let you know there was no feta in my eggs. The waitress just stared at me. I repeated my self twice more! Still she just stared, walked away. I told her to just bring me my change, instead she got the Greek owner. He walked over to me like how dare you question my eggs. I repeated the line about there being no feta in the eggs and he said that is not possible. I said ok whatever just get me my change and let me get out of here. NEVER will I go back there. How rude an owner. read more

A truly horrid dining experience! I ordered the lasagne and it was layers of lasagne noodles with an orange colored sauce and melted cheese on top, that's IT. The menu said "Layers of egg noodles and beef" and when I sent it back (uneaten) the owner refused to comp or credit or make it good in any way at all. When I pointed out that there was NO beef in his lasagne he claimed that they used "a meat sauce" and that no one else had ever complained about it. Epic FAIL! Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this greasy spoon. read more
