We enjoy this diner whenever we visit Millerton, NY. I love their chicken salad and their pho is actually pretty good, considering that they’re not a Vietnamese restaurant! We’ve always enjoyed our meals and the service here.

Oakhurst Diner in Millerton, NY is a charming 1940s Silk City diner that blends nostalgic Americana with a modern twist. Its diverse menu ranges from breakfast burritos to meatloaf with mashed potatoes, with unexpected touches like Ma’s Pho and even sake.
The chrome exterior and retro neon sign—with a few dimmed letters that show its age—set the tone for a warm, vintage-inspired interior. Having visited for over 35 years, we've always appreciated the consistent quality—even through changes in ownership. In 2010, Paul Harney and the Panzer brothers introduced a fusion of old-school Americana with unexpected international flair. By layering in Asian-inspired dishes alongside classic diner comfort foods, they created the distinctive signature that defines Oakhurst today.
On this visit, weekend crowds made the service slower—a reminder of why we used to come only on weekdays when we lived in the area.
Entering the diner can pose a trip hazard for those with mobility issues. Even so, the food remains as distinctive and satisfying as ever. Our hope is simply that the owners give the historic building the same care and attention they put into their cooking.

Delicious poached eggs, rice and beans, goat cheese “the Jim” and Big Daddy dish. Bloody Mary is very good and peppery. Fun place!

OK, I am going to start this review with the caveat that I am originally from Queens and Long Island, New York where we have the best diners in the world. So I’m grading this on what I call the “upstate New York curve”. I know that sounds snobby, but you would understand if you’ve ever been to a diner in Queens. This diner would be a one star down there (probably out of business), but I’ll tell you my honest experience this morning: PRO: it is super cool looking, inside and out. Right out of a 1950s movie. And it was busy inside, but I was able to get the seat at the counter right away. When the check came it was pretty reasonably priced. And the bathroom was pretty clean, given it was a Sunday and it was busy. Unfortunately, that’s about it for the pro column. CONS: when I came into the place, I was not greeted by anyone, even though there was a person standing right behind the register. And even though the place was busy, there was an apathetic 20-something girl just standing behind the counter, not doing anything. “Can I sit at the counter?” “Sure, go for it”. No menu brought to me, no water nothing. Sat at the counter for about 10 minutes (an eternity in diner time) before anyone even acknowledged me. Finally, a sort of friendly dude took my order, got the most basic thing you can get, three scrambled eggs, bacon, rye toast, hashbrowns. Food came out within 10 minutes, which is not bad, but it was lukewarm, and the bacon was actually room temperature. Not sure how that happens but it did. This made it so that when I spread the butter on the toast (One huge slice, not cut in half just thrown on the top of the eggs), it didn’t even melt. Eggs – MEH. Bacon – crunchy but cold. Hashbrowns – burnt, left a taste in my mouth. Coffee - ug. Even cream and a Splenda, which I don’t even use usually, couldn’t help it. Anyways, I wanted to like this place and I’m not sure what else you’re going to find around here. So if you’re in a pinch, I guess stop here? But I won’t come back again.
Tasty diner food in a diner atmosphere. Can't ask for more!
