I dont know why, but where ice cream has made me throw up every time I eat it. I am not bad with ice cream or dairy AT ALL, I can eat other ice cream shops perfectly. Also, when I had dinner here there was egg shells in my sisters scrambled eggs and plastic in my Mac and cheese. Skip read more

Been wanting to try this place. Went Saturday morning it was busy, almost full when we got there but service was quick. Small and cozy inside not much space between tables. I had a half fretta, filled the plate I couldn't finish it took half home. It was good, and the price is reasonable, read more

Been here many times. Very basic menu, small but welcoming space. Good pricing, fast service.

I've driven by this restaurant many times but have never stopped but at the recommendation of a friend my sister and I tried it. It was Friday at lunch time and a few people were there but not overcrowded. The waitress was very prompt and friendly. I saw a sign on the table the last Friday of the month they had sauerbraten. I asked the waitress about it and she said it was a family recipe and very good. She was right!! The noodles were homemade, the beef was tender and the sauce didn't have too much ginger. The portion was huge so I took 2/3 of it home. I saved room for homemade pie which was fantastic! I have to say it was the best pie I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Don't pass this place up!!! Stop in the last Friday of the month if you like sauerbraten. read more

Always consistent on quality whether we get it delivered or dine in. A frittata will be three meals for me and heats up nicely as a leftover. Omelette are huge as well! A solid local place to visit. I totally recommend. read more

I have been coming to this local legend since I was a kid and for 24 years it has not disappointed me! If you go for breakfast, you'll enjoy a nice meal for a decent price. If you go for ICE CREAM...now we're talking!! Thee Diner serves the largest "small ice cream" in upstate New York, no doubt in my mind. You definitely are getting MORE than what you pay for. And the ice cream selection is incredible, they have anything for anybody in your group. Good service, good location, and so many smiles. Enjoy your trip here!! read more

Good food fast service old school atmosphere. Pay the extra $5 and keep good businesses like this one going.

We stopped in twice for ice cream during the heat wave of the last week. Great tasting with generous portions. Convenient location. We will soon try out a breakfast here. read more

Standard diner with standard diner food and white board with specials on them. Friendly waitress and regular looking locals all around, but not too busy on a Thursday at lunch time. You get what ordered and I'm happy with that. I will keep on coming back. read more

Thee Diner - Two eggs over medium whole wheat toast home fries and 2 pancakes - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cicero, New York

Thee Diner is like an emotionally abusive relationship - each time you come back it hurts the soul. I hate to be so blunt, but the fact is the food is simply not good. The waffles are always so hard on the outside, I'm beginning to think quikrete is a core ingredient used. Even the chocolate milk doesn't taste right. You hate to see it, because Thee Diner is considered by some as a staple of the Cicero area. Thee Diner is like a senile dog. It once flourished with freedom and vibrancy. Now, it's debilitated, pained, and in need of someone to put it out of its misery. I wish thee diner the best, but I feel as though it's in the public's interest to practice abstinence with it. The second star of this review is solely dedicated to the ice cream stand and kind waitresses working here. read more

My husband and kids went here this past weekend for the 1st time. We've driven past it many times and the parking lot is always packed. Our waitress was one of the nicest I've met. Food prices were reasonable. I had the open-faced meatball sandwich which was decent. My husband ordered the cajun chicken sandwich that lacked some flavor since it was supposed to be cajun. We ordered the kids a chicken tender entree to share. The tenders were really good and had a really good flavor. Their fries were great. Macaroni salad was solid. They were out of the apple crumb pie which was a bummer to the hubs. They had an interesting display of jewelry on the counter. Pins made out of dominoes. Each had an unique painting on it. I picked out 4 for $10. Turns out our waitress' sister makes them. We later returned for their ice cream and milkshakes. Kids enjoyed their cherry milkshake and the other, blueberry milkshake. I had a yummy black raspberry soft serve. We'll be back again to try their other menu items like the reuben. read more

Me and my niece went to Thee Diner for the first time. I've driven by there for years and I've been wanting to go there. I finally went there and it was such a disappointment. The waitress Megan (I believe was her name) seemed so cold. We ordered hot chocolate that wasn't even hot. At one o'clock they where out of soup. The chili was okay but it was very greasy. The French fries (for my niece) tasted like they were frozen and that they came from Walmart. There patty melt was okay but I've had better. How do you screw up a patty melt? Maybe I should have tried their breakfast. I asked for a sample of the sausage gravy, she rolled her eyes and said No you'll have to order a side of it, all of the other restaurants I went to gladly gave me a sample. Also our waitress Megan was extremely rude to us. I haven't decided if I'm going to give them a second chance or not. read more

Very not impressed. Food was incredibly cold and tasted old, like they tried to heat it up but not all the way through. I ordered from grubhub and it's not that far from my house so the food should not have been THAT cold. Home fries tasted like actual rocks and i couldn't keep eating them. This place has the potential to be fantastic but I don't believe they'll get there. read more

Been there twice , not impressed. Overcharged me Saturday about $20.00 . Agree with other reviews , waitress not really helpful or nice . I questioned the bill , she said it was high because all three of us ordered home fries with our meal .Very expensive home fries , did the math when I got home, no idea why I was charged so much.Food average at best , not crowded for a Saturday morning, that should have told me something. I'm only in this area once/ twice a year to fish. Will go somewhere else next time . read more

I when there to have a heath sunday. I got a Sunday with peanuts in place of the heath. Told them about it and they told me it was heath. I do know the difference between them because I usually get the heath sunday. And I don't like peanuts. They said they would make me other kind for sunday. So I ask for a butterfinger sunday. When I got it, it had very little toppings on it and did not taste rite. I have been getting ice cream here for years. Now because of the worse service I have every got. I will not go back!!!!!! read more

I went to this place for some very fine icecream and this short female, brown hair, said she would touch my sphincter and would spit on my colon so me and my boys left read more

Excellent breakfast!!' (bacon, sausage, eggs, and home fries) Great service too!!' Will visit again for certain.

Was driving thru town looking for a diner for breakfast and saw the reviews! We were very happy with the service and the quality of the food. We sat at the counter and were greeted nicely. Ordered coffee, water and our meals. Everything was good, service was very attentive and friendly. Thought the cost was reasonable! We'll return if we're in the area! read more

Best ice cream in Cicero. Huge parking lot with plenty of outdoor seating. Highly recommended. read more

Plain diner, generally dumpy and yelling cheap! Specials board listed 4 entrees, including Italian Mac & Cheese (with sausage & tomato) and 2 "homemade" soups. Beef Vegetable Soup $1.75 a cup, seemed to be a mix of soft, canned veggies, poor beef chunks and a strong, lousy tomato base. From the adequate-looking menu - Turkey Club Wrap $5.50, had a good mix of deli turkey wraped around enough good bacon, plus lettuce, tomato and extra mayo. They didn't grill it as was asked for. Meatball Sub $4.75 presented a big plain roll holding 3 (should have been 4 to fit) medium-sized misshaped balls with nothing added, so, no flavor. They were covered with plenty of cheese, but nearly no sauce! Both meals came with broken chips and a pickle spear. The waitress was deadpan and unfriendly. read more

You can get Dbl the food at Denny's for 1/2 the price. My over easy eggs come out perfect & to die for pancakes & the Extra crispy hash brownsThey know what to do with their greasy spoon. read more

Went to the diner once it was just ok. But the ice cream stand is wonderful. Lots of choices, huge portions and reasonable. They are only open in the good weather, and the lines can get long at times. read more

Stopped for ice cream on my way home this evening, ordered a medium twist in a dish...very disappointed...first of all, the staff working was more interested in talking to each other, attitudes were very flippant and their perception of a "medium" and mine were two totally takes....First of all, they were all out of dishes, so they used a cup..., not a problem, the cup was the small flurry cup, it was filled 1/3 full, and when i questioned the girl, all she stated was yes, we ran out of cups and this is a medium...and promptly turned around and began to speak to her friends//co workers..... I am extremely disappointed...will never go back...ice cream was more the size of a small dish and not medium...frustrating to say the least... read more

Some of the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had and I'm southern so that's really saying something. Never had a bad meal here. Service is friendly and quick. read more

the ice cream was phenomenal!! delaney was the best worker i've ever had in my life!! 10/10 recommend !

It is the most stupendous diner in the world. There service in exquisite. Only there will you feel like home. If you don't go there, I will poop on you and throw you off of a cliff. read more

My daughter took me to the diner to try their breakfastit, it was great nice people the service was good along with the good. Looking forward to eating there again. read more

I've only been here for breakfast and always a good meal. Friendly / helpful staff. I love the atmosphere when its busy.

Cute little diner a few miles off the highway across the high school. Very friendly and accommodating and perfect for a casual breakfast or lunch. Indoor seating - about a dozen booths. Outside off the parking lot they run an ice cream shop with a bunch of selections. I'd return. read more

We were just passing threw town and decided to give it a try. This is your basic dinner with basic food. I had an omelette that was pretty plan and my husband had eggs and hash. I wouldn't order the home fries, like some of the other reviews they were nasty. Not sure we would come back again. No wow factor here if that is what you are looking for. read more

The perfect small-town diner! Couldn't have been happier with the food and the service.

All the food was very average, nothing special about the breakfast. Service overall was subpar, waitress seemed disinterested and unhelpful. Food and drinks seemed a little overpriced, especially for the quality of what we were given. Food was delivered quickly which was one of the few positive experiences, very normal diner feel, lacks any form of diversity. Nothing horrible about the diner, nothing good either though, not sure if I would go back for breakfast. 6.3/10 read more

Service was great! Breakfast left much to be desired. Veggie omelette was borderline tasteless and pretty sure veggies were all from the can. Egg was very diluted. Side of bacon was good and Italian toast was good. Might give lunch a try someday but will not do breakfast again. Overpriced as well. $27 for two omelette sand kids pancake with side bacon, home fries and three waters... read more

We arrived at Thee Diner this morning at 8 AM were served coffee and our order was taken. At 8:40 we had still not received our breakfast. The waitress returned and asked us what we had ordered again and she wrote it down again and said it will be right down. We waited five more minutes and still nothing while the table next to us which had ordered at the same time had finished their breakfast. We left and told her to forget it as we had an appointment to be at. She yelled into the cook to forget it so she evidently just put in the order. This is the second time we have had poor service at the diner and will not return or suggest it to our friends and family. I hope she did not think the money on the table was for her tip cause it was for the two coffees as that is all we received in 45 minutes! read more

This is one of those throw back places that existed before the development of Cicero took off. I think the breakfasts are great, especially the fretta. I have it with some of their homemade Italian bread toasted. Lunch and dinner is good but pretty much on par with places like Stella's and Little Gem. The ice cream stand is where the place really shines. Everything under the sun, cheaper than most places and large servings. A small soft ice cream cone is a meal! read more

Yummy breakfasts! We've also been there for ice cream and sat outside to eat. We'll be back again!

Delicious for breakfast. Been here a few times for breakfast- excellent omelettes. Have not tried their lunch menu yet. Strawberry shortcake dessert made with real homemade shortcake. The small diner also has an ice cream shop adjacent to it. read more
