The only positive about this place is the nice people; they treated us great. When I first walked in, there was a bad smell but decided to give this place a chance. This diner started in the 1940s and it looks like they havent updated anything since then. There was a baby in a car seat almost in the kitchen but not quite (I understand working parents but I dont want dirty diapers anywhere near my food). The food we got didnt cost much, but it was barely passable. The chocolate chip pancakes were dry and I honestly couldve made instant pancakes myself for the same quality at home. The sunny side up eggs we got may have been the best part, they were real eggs and cooked properly. Im almost positive the "home fries" we got were frozen ones that they threw in a microwave. And the bacon was very mediocre, it just didnt have a lot of flavor. I was also fighting off a large fly for part of the time I was trying to eat. Another thing I noticed was an open orange juice container in an unrefrigerated area that sat there untouched the whole time. This place really does not inspire confidence that the kitchen and food are clean. Overall I will never eat here again unless there are drastic changes. The food was worse than the food I could make at home (and Im no Gordon Ramsay) and Im not completely sure my food was even prepared clean. It seems like the owners just dont the care about the place which is a shame because it could be a very nice diner with an old school vibe, but right now it just seems like an old, rundown dump. Enter at your own risk.

well.... me and my brother used to eat here every weekend and the food was always good. we always referred to it as "the dirty diner" and we meant that as a compliment because weve always believed the dirtier the restaurant the better the food. this place has been around for a long time. and their food is great. their sausage is good,their corned beef hash. good coffee,good service,decent prices..... but the last time we went in there about 3/4 the way of eating the eggs we realized they were moldy..... so we havent gone back since. its a shame.... i really liked them. but i just get sick to my stomach even THINKING about going back. it really is a shame. but if that didnt happen...... i wouldve given them 5 stars.

A classic diner experience. The service is great, food comes out good and quick, and its the cheapest diner in Fairfield County. Typical diner fare, full meals start around $5. Coffee is good.

Good, not great diner food. Only came here for breakfast which was good. The pancakes were light and fluffy but the bacon was little limp.
