French onion soup it was not.Omelet was flat. “Breakfast syrup” for pancake. Three out of 5 of us were disappointed. Turkey BLT and Reuben were fine.

A classic diner from decor to menu. If you're looking for Greek food or a comforting meal this diner has it.Friendly staff will make sure you're taken care of and the food is as you'd expect. A large menu will allow a group to find something they each want.

Came here tonight for the first time. Was in the area and needed dinner. I ordered the Thanksgiving dinner in a wrap. Turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce..wow was it delicious!! The only thing I would have liked more of was gravy and cranberry sauce. I was gonna ask my server for a slice, but she never checked on us. I also ordered cheese and gravy fries.. unbelievably delicious. I didn't want them to end, lol. The gentlemen that cleaned my table, gave me a menu, and brought me a drink was very kind and attentive. On the other hand, our server was not good. She literally just took our order. She never checked on us, and I had to go ask her for the check. She should learn to be more attentive to her tables. Especially since it's a tiny diner and wasn't slammed. The diner itself is very clean and really awesome to look around. Will definitely return.

The food was good. One of the waitresses, a large white woman, came up to me, in a passive-aggressive tone, about why I didn't tip 20%. She went off about getting paid below minimum wage and deserving higher tips. I told her I would be glad to leave her a review (since she seemed like the type of person who would continue to escalate things). I'm upset I did not get her name but she was the only large white lady running the evening shift on 10/28/2023 around 6:30 PM. I can recall waiting a while for our food, they never came by to refill our waters, one of our shakes didn't have whipped cream on top, and they forgot one of our chocolate milkshakes. The two other waitresses who helped us that evening were fine. Whoever that woman is, she needs to be retrained in customer relations.

I was literally in a scene from a classic movie, it was a sunny but brisk fall day, we were walking down Elm street, the American flag was fluttering in the wind, Boy Scout troops selling pumpkins, little blonde haired kids skipping through the small yellow leaves, people smiling and saying hello, two boys throwing a football on the green lawn of city hall, me walking down the street passing wine bars, açaí superfood restaurants and artisanal cheese and pizza taverns, I see a diner. The New Canaan Diner. It looks like it is straight out of the same idyllic movie. I open the door, after an uncomfortable 2 minutes, the employee bruskly says "sit anywhere". A few minutes go by we get menus, it is massive- they have everything. You name it.. turkey sandwich, 7 types of French toast, milkshakes, platters, breakfast... it's epic. A thought hits me, how the hell would anyone know how to cook all this. I push it to the back of my mind and think.. it's a diner- get diner food. It will complete the 1950's movie scene perfectly. I order corned beef hash, 2 eggs and hash browns, my companion orders a smoked salmon bagel with capers and onion. 2 coffee and OJ. We are excited, the anticipation for this meal is building. 84 seconds later the food appears. The corned beef hash is right out of a can, the eggs are fine, the hash browns are flavorless cubes of carbohydrates. The salmon bagel is a monstrosity that defies adequate explanation. It's a block of cream cheese - not spread, wet red onions, giant capers and tons of messy smoked salmon that looks like something which you feed to Shamu to make her do flips for the crowd. To summarize it was truly horrific. We consume portions of each, lament our poor choices in life that led to this moment, and realize our idyllic movie was really a good nightmare on elm street. Save yourself the hassle- eat elsewhere.. anywhere. Not here

Great diner food and a fun atmosphere. Yelp says the review needs to be 85 characters, so that's the purpose of this line, but the first line says it all.

Clean great looking small diner tucked on a side street with lots of pedestrian neighborhood traffic. Had a fried fish burrito with all kinds of vegetables and sauces - fantastic. Fries good. Coffee reasonable … served in a mug with a spoon dropped in which is a peeve of mine, really don’t like that. Vanilla milkshake was very good, served in a nice glass with wide straw. Will definitely seek this place out again when traveling on the Merritt Parkway.
