I've visited here twice but on my recent visit with my daughter,the place was freezing like we appreciate it being cool on a hot day but getting goosebumps and needing a sweater i think is a bit much.The food however was good both times,my daughter asked for chocolate chips added to her waffles but the were just tiny ones put on top.soon as we got our food i was able to take one bite and our server comes and asked how are food is and we sadly fine and literally 5 mins later he speeds by says nothing and places our bill on the table and at that point it felt very rushed and a lil rude we literally jus started eating and didn't ask for the bill and my daughter wanted to order something to go but decided not to since we were already served the bill...and actually still tipped $5!

Update: I wanted to add that I was looking at the beverage and dessert menu. I thought I was used to current prices but these surprised me! $4 for coffee in a diner? $7 for pie or cake? That’s for a slice, not the whole thing! Perhaps it’s comparable elsewhere.
Frequent stop, today it was lunch. Service always excellent. Ordered a cheese and veggie omelette, and a chicken gyro. Both were good. One big plus is that you can sub spinach with feta for the home fries! Issues today-water for tea was not hot enough-waitress admitted it’s a problem. Replaced, same thing. French fries were also chilly, but without complaint whisked away and replaced. No other issues. The cookie at the counter is a great bonus-can I take two? (Asking for a friend)!

The Final Straw: Since we’ve moved back upstate earlier this year, we’ve hoped to find a local diner we could frequent for breakfast. We tried Latham 76 for the past few months. It’s a standard diner with its own look and feel; service and food were good enough… Over time, we noticed some of the wait staff were better than others, mostly inattentive but tolerable. Yesterday, however, inattentive crossed the line into incompetent and rude. It wasn’t busy, our order was straightforward, yet we saw several tables served by the same waitress who ordered after us but were fed first. After the fourth instance and an unusually long wait (35 minutes), we paid for our coffees ($4 each) and walked out. We’re giving up on this place. The food and ambiance are not worth the hassle.

Delicious as always, the decor is on point, very nostalgic and warm. Feels like home.

I took my Son there this morning for breakfast as it was his birthday treat. Today is Sunday, July 6th, 2025. We told the waitress we wanted one coffee, one water and an orange juice. We got 2 coffees, 2 waters and no juice. He ordered 3 eggs over easy, toast, white toast and a side of bacon. He got 4 eggs, home fries, toast and no bacon.His eggs looked barely cooked and the home fries were old, just warmed over. I ordered two eggs over easy, toast, home fries and a side of bacon. Again, my eggs were almost cold, home fries were stale and my side of bacon was old and tasteless. Then when we cashed out the old guy at the register never even bothered to give me the change I had coming. We were fed up and just left!!!

Just went to 76 for lunch. it wasn't busy. We were seated in a section that had 3 occupied tables. Sat there for 20 minutes without being acknowledged, or offered water or coffee, while the server stood right next to our table chatting about her family to a couple of other diners the whole time. Our table was wet and smelled strongly of disinfectant. We left without being served and enjoyed friendly, prompt service at DinerTime instead.

Solid food and I'm excited they're bringing New York diner's back. Making cheeseburgers great again is admirable. Decent service and solid management

The classic diner ambiance is worth the trip alone imo, oh yeah the food is very decent and the place is well run from what I saw.

Been coming here since I was a teenager and I'm in my late 40s now. It feels the same, people are just as nice, food is just as good, and it's convenient to get to/find.

My experience was downright terrible. Food was undercooked, service was akin to an inner city Denny's and management looked like a confused donkey. Also, very overpriced food for what it is

The food here is always good and the portion sizes are well worth the $$. There is a waitress there named Elaine, she has to be the nicest and best server. If you go there be sure to ask for her, she'll take care of you.
As always everything was great
