It's a diner. The real thing. Food cooked to order by nice folks. Not fast food, not fancy. It's a diner. Enjoy the experience for what it is - an unfussy taste of the last century, in an unlklely location - and have fun.

Perfect small town diner vibe with regulars popping in and a very relaxed vibe. You can watch all the food being cooked on the griddle right in front of you. Could easily spend a few hours enjoying and escaping the hustle and bustle.

Capital District Reviews
This is a hidden gem of a place. Its on old 1930 diner trailer that was fully restored for current use. I stopped in a few Saturdays ago after a hunting trip. Great place to grab a bite after hunting, camping, hiking or whatever reason. All the food is made right in front of you. I had the cheese burger with French fries. Just classic diner fare. The place was packed so you know it's good. Most people were getting breakfast and no one leaves hungry. The food is very good and the 3 ladies working that day were really hustling. The woman doing all the cooking was 70 years old and was killing in the kitchen making everyone's meal. Kudos to those 3 employees. Dans dinner is the place to go in Chatham.

Cozy, classic diner with great service. Loved our omelettes! Big shoutout to Dan, who jumped our car after our battery died in the parking lot. Thanks, Dan & team!

Being inside this place is such a pleasure, with all the old time charm and character. The attention to details is not to be missed.
The corned beef hash is yummy with over easy eggs and toast. I also found their homemade lemonades very refreshing.
Great little hometown feeling diner with good ol’ American eating.

I had a wonderful experience, and the food was amazing. I like the way the restaurant seems to be locked in its own time bubble, nestled away from all the modern rush. Seemingly calm yet buzzing with regulars. If you find this place, you should definitely go. Be mindful as there could be more like you just waiting to have some fun.
tiny, beautiful restored diner. delicious food, can’t go wrong with most things on menu. bacon best i’ve had in the state. cook is a sweetheart but she’s the only one, so it can get backed up if crowded. each time i have been, waitress is rude, no manners, inattentive, likely prejudiced. has no business being in service. would be five stars otherwise.

Visiting from Puerto Rico and I couldn't decide what else to get. From the breakfast and lemonade specials to the hashbrowns and onion rings to the t-shirts. Loved the atmosphere above all.

I love everything about this place - especially their off-menu patty melt which is one of the best I’ve had.
