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.

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!!

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.

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!

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!!!

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!

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

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! Went with the biscuit & gravy w scrambled eggs & the california bennys. They also make really good espresso. Service was quick & friendly. Make sure to ask about daily specials.

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

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.

A cute little breakfast/lunch spot. Service was great, food came fast it's your pretty basic little diner. We ordered poached eggs with bacon and home fries.

I dont hand out 5 star reviews very often, but uncle d's diner definitely deserves it. My family and I have tried several breakfast places in Berlin, cromwell, middletown area, and none of them beat uncle d. The service is amazing. The owner, I believe, buys donuts from Neil's in wallingford on the weekends and gives them out to the kids. I've never been to a place that does that. All of the waitress are always working, not just sitting around and talking to one another like other places ove been to. The food is also amazing and well priced. The food comes out quickly too. read more

The vibe in the place was kind of weird. I felt like if you weren't a regular, it was just weird. I ordered the big boy special which came with 3 eggs, home fries, bacon, 2 pancakes, and the toast. My bf ordered a turkey bacon wrap with no tomatoes. The blueberry pancakes were awesome! My eggs I ordered scrambled and they were kind of runny. The home fries were pretty good and the coffee was great. The wrap came with tomatoes, however no one came over right after our food was served And we were hungry so he picked them out. I think their breakfast is way better. The wrap was kind of slimy and there was bacon, yet you didn't really taste the flavor of it. The creamy italian dressing they put on it sort of overpowered it all. I think this is more of a regulars spot and the whole time we were there it felt uncomfortable. I think we will leave it for the locals and stick with Mitchell's! read more

I've been here for breakfast a couple times and they do not disappoint. Today I was in the mood for a breakfast wrap and I asked if they could put a western omelette in a wrap but also add Swiss and mushrooms. Without hesitation they said they could. My boyfriend always gets the Irish Benedict and loves how much corn beef it comes with. The food always comes out piping hot, made to order and is obviously fresh. I'm from the Boston area and have been coming to this part of CT for about a year now .. hands down this is the best breakfast stop. * we sat at the counter today but I'm almost positive I heard live music in the back ?! read more

The Cadillac Taco is outstanding. The flavors and the size are great. Corn beef Thursdays is to die for. From the Corn Beef meal to their corn beef sandwich, which I have one every week is on my weekly bucket list. Another outstanding food group at Uncle D's is the effort they put into their soups. I've never had such great tasting (and in no way skimpy) soups. Clam chowder, Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Broccoli, Chicken, etc. etc. has even mom's soups beat. Could write forever on their breakfasts as well, but you need to stop in, I promise you will not be disappointed. Tony and Doris A. from Meriden read more

Uncle D's is one of our places to enjoy our Sunday date breakfast. This past Sunday, our 35th Anniversary, after a bad week with family health issues I asked the owner when she sat us if she could "surprise" my husband with a candle in his muffin. The staff did a wonderful job and yes my husband was surprised and it was nice to see a smile on his face again. The food is always good and fresh.

The restaurant wasn't too crowded, but there were still a fair number of people, which was nice. There were a few specials--chicken noodle soup, meatloaf, etc that seemed tempting as well. My mom wound up getting the chicken noodle soup, and she loved it! We split the pork burnt ends appetizer. If I had known how good the pork was, I would've maybe gotten the pork belly bahn mi. I know I'll have to get that next time! Because this appetizer stole the show. I absolutely will have to get it again next time. I got the fish and chips, which were stellar! They were heavy on the fish and a little lighter on the breading than I normally expect, which was nice. The fries and coleslaw were delicious too--I really loved the fries. My dad got the wings, which he picked when he saw they make their own dry rub. Really great stuff!! Heavy on the seasoning but delicious. I'll definitely be back!

We were seated quickly at a nice table with a white tablecloth, which gave it a more polished feel right away. There were TVs around showing the NFL Draft and UFL, which was nice to have to keep up to date on sports. The person I was with did wonder why the Knicks playoff game wasn't on, though. I ordered the Oven Roasted Norwegian salmon, and it was excellent. Really crisp on the outside while staying moist inside, it was exactly I like it. It was served over a bed of fresh vegetables with a salsa verde sauce that tied everything together really well. For dessert, I got the cheesecake. It looked small at first, but it was very filling. It came with a strawberry and a side of fresh whipped cream. The flavor was a little unique, not as sweet as I expected, but it worked really well. The service was good throughout the night, too.

We sat outside to enjoy the nice weather. I would definitely recommend sitting out there if you can. Waitress- I wish I remembered her name because she was amazing.

Coffee is brewed to order which makes a difference. He tried the mx to Milan but didn't feel it was strong enough. Turns out this drink is prepaid every morning. So he got a White Russian and was pleased. Apps: you must try the mussels and radish dish as well as the meatballs. You will thank me later. Main Course: chicken parmigiana was huge and delicious.

Uncle D's Diner is comfort and nostalgia at its finest! The old school diner atmosphere just adds to the charm of this place. But don't let the vintage vibe fool you, the food here is seriously good. The wings are a must-try, with a tangy sauce that is unlike any other. And if you're in the mood for something more unique, go for the Cadillac Taco - it's huge and packed with diner love. But let's talk breakfast. The coffee is like a warm hug from grandma, and the breakfast sandwiches are the perfect start to your day. The bread is soft and warm, and the flavors are spot-on. But what really sets Uncle D's apart is the friendly and welcoming staff. They treat you like family, and chatting with them is like catching up with your favorite aunt or sister. So if you're looking for a great diner experience with delicious food and friendly service, look no further than Uncle D's Diner in Berlin. It's a true hidden gem that you won't want to miss out on. read more

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. I am absolutely disgusted by the level of disrespect and brattiness the owner, Darren, displays. He walked into the bank I was at and was kindly asked by the bankers to wear a mask via the banks new safety guidelines, and instead of understanding and complying, Darren threw a temper tantrum and screamed at all the bankers. Seriously? I've never seen such a display by a grown man. He acted like a toddler!! I will NEVER eat at any business he owns if this is how he treats the people trying to help him. It is absolutely selfish of him to disregard the safety and comfort of others like this. I REPEAT, DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS AT ALL! read more

A few months ago myself and some of my Saturday morning breakfast pal's decided to venture into other areas away from our usual haunts . Someone mentioned Uncle D's. Gotta say, since that first day we are there on Sat mornings enjoying super breakfast's prepared by the staff of cooks and served by a great contingent of waitresses who you never have to ask for more coffee as they constantly keep our cups full .Devon and his family provide outstanding meals . The food is great, the atmosphere is super friendly enhanced with live music provided by a fellow and his guitar. Uncle D's is definitely a top shelf diner. read more
