Food was great! Uncle Delectable's Diner was very hospitable and when we were leaving, me and my friend were eyeing the donuts lovingly when suddenly an angel swooped in and asked if we wanted one. We said we didn't have money when the key word was spoken: "Free"! I got an apple fritter donut and my friend got a coconut one. It was crazy timing because my birthday was recent and hers is coming up!! Could the angel have been THE one and only Uncle D?! I dunno but thank you!!! read more

Delicious food and massive portions! I got the turkey club and a side of biscuits and gravy. The club was great, but the fries were AMAZING. The biscuits and gravy surprised me the most; the sausage was seasoned so well and they're probably the best biscuits and gravy I've had outside of the South. The restaurant was very clean and well decorated. But my favorite thing about this place was the interactions I saw between the staff and customers. The employees seemed to know everyone's name and they were so friendly. I was a little jealous that I've never been that close with the staff at any restaurant. 10/10 experience, will definitely be coming back. read more

Uncle D's Diner - Turkey Club with French Fries - New American Near Me - East Berlin, Connecticut

Still adorable with the painted windows outside, and bright red booths an checkerboard train. Also, the huge as expected menu has most every breakfast you can think of, and decent drip coffee, with local ads on your placemat and mug. Luckily, we've had the same friendly staff each time we're here. California Benedict had wintery tomatoes, but the avocado and Hollandaise were lovely. Here and Whole Donut (now Swiches) seem to be the only 6 am Mon-Fri. breakfast spots in Berlin, and are comforting as always. read more

Went here to celebrate Mother's Day & a birthday and got seated in about 20 minutes (they were BUSY). The hostess' and servers were all so kind and friendly, lovely ladies! We were so impressed that we got our order to a T - my uncle likes dry toast and my aunt like less cheese - because it was so busy and sometimes things like that slip through but everything was perfect and delicious! There was live music as well and the vibes were all around just incredible it felt like a true community place. We've already declared it our new go to spot! Thanks everyone for such a great start to our day!! read more

My friends and I stopped by Uncle D's Diner on a Saturday morning for breakfast. We were seated immediately, and greeted by some very kind and pleasant employees. The selection of food was wonderful, and reasonably priced. I got the sausage, gravy, and biscuits (which comes with home fries and two eggs served any style). It was delicious! The biscuit was buttery and soft, the sausage patties on top were great, the gravy was delicious. My friend got the eggs benedict which was wonderful as well. The place itself is a cute diner, quick service, delicious food. read more

Can't believe it's taken me this long to stop in and have breakfast here. My daughter and I came here this morning and I had the Irish Benedict, she had the special snores pancake. Our server, Amanda, was nice enough to make her a kids portion since she ended up eating half of one pancake and there was no way she would have eaten a full stack. The Irish benny was honestly the best I ever had. I finished the whole thing and wish I could have eaten all the home fries as well. They were crispy and delicious mixed with the hollandaise sauce and ketchup I smeared them in. Have to mention also the diner vibes were on point with the red glossy, comfy booths. There was even a live singer signing all the popular tunes. 10/10 would definitely and will definitely return. Thanks Uncle D! read more

Excellent American Dinner food. Laid back atmosphere and engaging staff. Saturday morning they had a musician playing guitar that was a Dinner first for me. The honey Bun that was made at bakery off site was phenomenal! Corned beef hash was fresh and tasty! 10 out of 10 I'll be back if I am ever back in the area! read more

Last year, when Yankee Magazine listed Uncle D's as one of the 20 best diners in New England, it was only a matter of time. Made the trip yesterday with friend, Demanding Dan. Ample parking, tucked on the far side of a little strip mall. First impressions very positive with the neon lighting, and cool messages in the windows. Classic diner w stainless steel, red stools, and checkerboard floor. We chose one of the few booths open, and Amanda led the way w menus, and took drink orders. DD chose a 3 item omelet (sausage, bacon, and American cheese). I am a huge CBH fan, and ordered the CBH omelet w cheddar. Both orders came w home fries and toast included. DD raved about his omelet...especially loaded w sausage coins. I've had CBH from literally hundreds of places around the country, and Uncle D's is in my top 5. Moist, stringy, chunks of corned beef. And a generous amount. Even the home fries were very good ... lightly seasoned (I detected paprika, garlic powder, and seasoned salt, but just faintly). And Amanda...she was the absolute best! Very efficient, personable, just a gem. And a blood donor! (don't ask). I've been to most of Yankee Magazine's top 20 list. While I don't agree with all, I absolutely agree w including Uncle D's. 5 delicious stars! read more

After getting over a case of RBS, I've recently become a big fan of Uncle D's Diner. What's RBS? Restaurant Blinder Syndrome. It's where something about you or your history prevents you from seeing a restaurant for what it really is. Usually, RBS makes you think a place is better than it is. That college pizza place that you thought was great? In reality, it's just pretty good, but the great memories that go along with that pizza make it seem better. In the case of Uncle D's Diner, I had Reverse RBS. This is a strange admission for a Foodie, but I don't like going to breakfast on weekend mornings. I like the food. I don't love the crowds and lines though. Uncle D's Diner has been an occasional family meeting place for weekend breakfast for the past several years. I don't remember ever having a bad experience with the food or the service, but Uncle D's is packed with people on weekend mornings. It prevented me from seeing what is true -- Uncle D's is a terrific diner. We moved over the Summer and I now live about 5 minutes from Uncle D's. After seeing some positive press (Newengland.com Top 20 New England Diner; Yelp Top CT Restaurant lists) about Uncle D's, I recently decided to try Uncle D's for a solo weekday Work From Home Lunch. That is much more my speed. My first experience was so positive, that I've already returned. The second visit was as good as the first. Uncle D's has a well loved classic diner feel. On both visits, it was busy for weekday lunch, but it wasn't weekend breakfast crazy busy. I found seats at the counter both times and I had plenty of room. Service was fantastic both visits. The crew works as a team. Service is friendly, efficient and effective. Both of my meals were diner-perfect. Over my two visits, I've had a turkey melt, a club sandwich with turkey and ham, fries, Portuguese Sausage soup and cole slaw. The club was perfectly executed. The ingredients were great and well put together. Same with the turkey melt. The turkey was so good that I wondered whether it was roasted in house, but they told me it's Boar's Head. That's high quality though. The soup tasted like somebody's family recipe. The coleslaw, which is often an afterthought in restaurants, was very good. Uncle D's Diner has my strong recommendation in the category of CT Diners. If you're a diner person, it's worth driving out of your way for. Also, I'm not sure if they still do this, but I can remember them offering Neil's Donuts to my son, nephew and niece during those family breakfasts. Great touch! Five Stars read more

Retro dinner with classic american breakfasts! Had the best reviews in the area so I had to try it! Making a selection was tough as all the options looked great!

Uncle D's is the quintessential diner experience. The decor is perfect diner with red vinyl seats and they even have a working miniature train. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is delicious, plentiful and presented well. They offer a very broad range menu and specials every day. Breakfast is a big winner anytime; eggs galore and in every shape and size. Lately I've ordered their Cadillac Taco. It's a huge double taco shell with ground beef and all the fixings. Delicious. The burgers are very good and all the sandwiches too. They also offer Neil's donuts in addition to other desserts. It can get a little noisy when it's busy so try an off hour visit if that annoys you. I haven't found a better diner anywhere yet. read more

First time experiencing this place. Different choices of coffee which I really enjoy. Food was very filling and made just to order, especially my over easy and over medium eggs! Definitely will return read more

Uncle D's Diner - New American Near Me - East Berlin, Connecticut

First time at Uncle D's and the breakfast was great. Service was a little slow but worth the wait.

A surprising little diner with great food and great ambiance! Well, that was quite a welcome change of pace. Girlfriend was out this way for some soccer and we were up early enough to get some breakfast. So we found this place pretty well reviewed and made our way here. The place was packed, lots of folks and lots of food flying out of the kitchen. Was actually kind of impressive the efficiency of this place. I saw a few giant boxes of neil's donuts and a big display of their recent donut haul. Being a fan of neil's, I had to opt for one of their coconut frosted to share. Fresh, light, a little sweet but not too much. The perfect little bite to start us off. Wasn't until a few minutes of waiting that we realized that the background music was an actual guy with a guitar playing off to the side and another man was painting murals on the other end. Was an interesting sight to see and experience. it was a small diner with it's own community. It was pretty neat to see and witness. They don't have great coffee, so I opted for water instead. I got their apple cream stuffed french toast, which was one of their specials. Girlfriend got the corned beef hash with eggs. Food came out pretty quick, and I took pics and dug in. The french toast worried me when it came out. namely I saw the egg ring and thought this was going to be another dry bread affair. But nope, the french toast was nice and custardy with ample amounts of sweetened mascarpone with chunks of fully cooked apple dissolving away into the cream. A very solid bite for sure. The sausage was pretty tasty and interestingly portrayed. we got quizzed on if we ordered a steak or not, but it was just the side of sausage. The corned beef hash was fresh, with ample amounts of properly seasoned and tender corned beef with just a little bit of potato to bind things together. that coupled with the soft and pillowy eggs made the bite very memorable. Overall, this is my new bar when it comes to diners. It's good food done well, with pride and passion for what they can do and highlighting the best of the best for the stuff they can't. It's a super-busy location, but they've earned that through their actions and choices. This is a diner I can get behind, and I wholeheartedly recommend them as a place to trek to if you can. read more

My toddler and I stopped by for lunch on a hot day after hiking nearby on a Thursday afrernoon and we were hungry! This place holds nostalgia of diners past with classic metal framed restaurant, vinyl booths with coatracks, classic counter with bolted down stools. Loved the homage to Americana! We were seated quickly and the staff were very attentive and checked in often with us throughout our visit. The menu is pretty standard diner offerings with a few twists (i.e. tacos and wings). That being said the both the breakfast and lunch menus were EXTENSIVE! If you are vegetarian this place does not have a plethora of options, but there are several meat free offerings. The kids menu is pretty short on offerings, but hey $5 for a sizeable grilled cheese and fries and they have chocolate milk? You will get over it. I leaned into the meat offerings and had the burger special ($14.99), which I believe was called the sweet hot burger with sauted onions and mushrooms, Siracha mayo, bacon. The burger had that perfect diner juicy mildly greasy griddle taste (not a bad thing it was perfectly cooked!) and was so flavorful. The bacon was thick, crispy, and lean. All the fixings blended perfectly together for a delicious satisfying meal and the serving size is ample. You can probably finish the plate, but I decided to leave a few fries for later. Fries are steak style, came out hot, and had nice light pepper seasoning. My kiddo's grilled cheese was perfectly executed with nice toasted bread and melted cheesy interior. All in all given inflation pricing was very reasonable for the total meal. My *only* critique is that while the tables, plates, utensils were clean the booths had significant dust and crumbs in between the seats and when my toddler accidentally dropped his fork under the table when I went to retrieve it the floor well let's just say it could use a scrub as it hasn't seen a cleaning product in probably some time. Needless to say I am definitely a fan of Uncle D's and if we are in the area will definitely be back for another family friendly, soul enriching, tummy filling meal that can only be achieved from a diner driven dining experience. read more

We didn't like it, they served us frozen sausage, bad service... we won't be back... disappointed

Who goes to breakfast on Fathers' Day and expects to get a table right away. Guess that was my bad but it worked out great. Visitors from Florida leaving tomorrow and I were hungry. Found this place right in my backyard after driving away from two others. Only a 15 minute wait in the parking lot very carefully choreographed by the floor manager. From then on after getting our table I realized how well put together this scene was. It could have been a disaster but turned out fantastically. From the front of the house to the wait staff and live music, it was a super breakfast. My poached eggs perfectly cooked to the Eggs Benedict and the eggs. sausage and gravy to the super server who greeted us with a smile it was a very Happy Fathers' Day and I will return to try out the lunch menu very soon! read more

Wow never take Jason's food suggestions for granted yet another home run business that I will definitely return to. We just made it for arrival at 1:30 after getting our haircuts since they close at 2:00 for the day All I have to say is Wow this place has Awesome Friendly and Inviting Staff.....My Mom was impressed nowadays......everyone wants to rush you along. They were Happy to serve us My only complaint is I wish I knew about this place sooner. They serve breakfast and lunch all day....... breakfast looked good but we were feeling lunch Don't forget to ask what the soup of the day is. All soups are made fresh on premises. My daughter went with Split Pea with Ham and she said it almost tasted exactly like the one I make at home. And I tasted a spoonful as did my mother and yes it did......I think the only difference was I put Thyme in my recipe. My other daughter had the kids Tenders and fries. The batter on those tenders was nice and crispy and had great flavor. Both my Mom and I went with the Turkey Club.......We should have split one .......It was huge. Every topping on that sandwich was nice and fresh and we both took half of the sandwich home. The Fries here are really good quality and they have a nice crispy exterior with that soft interior. We took Mile High Pastrami Burger home for my Dad it's an 8oz patty topped with a Pile of Pastrami my Dad said there looked to be close to the same amount of Pastrami on there as well and he could only finish half. The other half was devoured by my parents German Shepherd Thunder. My father had subbed onion rings for his french fries and he said they were the best onion rings he's had in a long time. We will be back soon I want to try those Onion rings and the Uncle D's Cadillac Taco looked good as well. read more

I have to say, for a first timer I was certainly impressed with the amount of food we ordered and the time it was presented to our table. Our server was really sweet & offered us a free piece of cake in honor of a long time customer that passed away. It was a very nice gesture. We left with 3 nicely sized pieces of pistachio cake! Thank you! I ordered the 3-2-1 Belgium waffle special with eggs, bacon and hash browns. My son ordered the Cadillac Taco which was huge! He said it was really good. My fiancé ordered some wings and their Sausage Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast with a side order of hash. We were all really pleased with our meals. It does get super busy in the mornings; as any diner does on a weekend so not surprised about that. We waited for 5-8 minutes before we were seated, no bad. The place was jumping and is a little loud at times, which was fine. You can check how busy they are on Google and they will give you an approximate wait time. We will definitely be back again soon! read more

My preferred breakfast spot in Berlin! They have a classic diner vibe which I love. They had live music on the Sunday morning that I went, which was a great surprise. The wait time is never that long despite the place being so popular. Service is fast. Food is SO good. I loved my breakfast burger and their fries are cooked perfectly. They have big menu with lots of options. My friend had an omelette per my suggestion and enjoyed it. The couple next to us said they come here to pick up muffins, so I'll have to try them next time. read more

We have been meaning to try Uncle Ds for a while. Not sure why we waited so long it was amazing! The restaurant sits in a plaza but as soon as you walk up to the door it has a classic dinner look and feel with the nostalgic dinner feel. They had live music which is a first for me at breakfast time but it was such a great addition. I ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits. You could tell right away they didn't shy away from the seasoning but also didn't find it over powering. Loved everything can't wait to come back. read more

During a random day of errands with my mother in law, I told her I scooped out a new place for us to try. Uncle D's is the real deal!! The outside is totally unsuspecting. If I hadn't seen a picture of the inside before walking inside, I wouldn't believe it! My Bobby Jean loved it. We always get a side of fries and Uncle D's are INSANELY GOOD. Thick and crunchy. Worth driving miles for. Pancakes were so good. Hot cup of coffee with some adverts in the side - my happy place. Bobby loved her tacos. Which is funny coming from a diner but man the menu is fresh!
