9 Best Diners near Middletown

“Nice place for breakfast. It would be even nicer if the waitresses didnt steal your change. I never pay cash because if I pay cash unless its exact amount I can forget about getting back any coin change. They round it off to the nearest dollar always to their benefit. Apparently the patrons there dont tip very well so they take matters in their own hands....it is called petty larceny....good food though“

“We’ve had dinner here a few times & each time everything has been great! Whenever we want to have a diner food experience where everyone can get what they want instead of choosing an Italian restaurant, Chinese, etc this is our go to! Last night was a great experience as well! It’s really like an upscale diner for sure! We’ve never had cocktails here (yet!) but the bar is huge & beautiful!“

“I have had nothing but pleasurable experiences at this location. The Manager Sunshine goes above and beyond to make customers feel welcome. The restaurant is clean and food has not disappointed. Keep up the great job.“

“One week ago I called the Colonial Diner when the caterer for our daughter’s after wedding brunch cancelled 10 days before the wedding weekend. I told them what my crisis was and these complete strangers sprang into action and promised to take care of us. This morning they delivered delicious food and sooo much of it. All of our 120 brunch guests raved about all of the food and especially the French toast and sausage (many said the sausage was the best they ever had). I will be forever grateful to Carmen and Nikki for being amazing human beings. Thank you for being part of the wedding weekend!“

“Excellent service delicious food very clean!!“

“Fantastic breakfast menu. Omelets , eggs , pancakes all fantastic you won't leave hungry or broke. Discount if you pay with cash. Friendly waitresses kept my coffee cup filled. The staff worked as a team and made for an enjoyable dining experience. Restrooms were clean and poop worthy. If your hungry and want breakfast the new Chester diner is the place.“

“I had a great time and the meal prices are very good, and the waitress Judy was very helpful and kind to my daughter and us, it felt like the kind of place that you could go to if you had nowhere to go for the holidays, they make you feel at home you got the bag too“

“My family and I went to Elsies last Saturday after my son got married on the day that he was originally supposed to have his big wedding which was postponed due to Covid. Afterwards we went to Elsies to have breakfast and could not have been more pleased with the service that we received and the food was delicious. The owner went above and beyond trying to find T-shirts that we all wanted to buy to memorize the day.“

“I've lived in the area my whole life and this place has been always a staple for great food. One of the best diners around hands down. I highly suggest their Gyro Platter and the Chicken Parm. If you're passing through you can't beat it!
