Welcoming service to provide good coffee, delicious food. We stopped twice during our four day stay and appreciated the food along with the cleanliness of a local restaurant.

My food was good and at a fair price.
What was frustrating for me was that I ordered a breakfast sandwich with hash browns. 52 minutes after ordering, I received a breakfast sandwich with home fries. I am not sure why the breakfast sandwich took almost an hour. People who were waiting to be seated when I ordered, completed their meal and received their check while I was still waiting.
The other part of the experience that was frustrating was the loud techno music blasting. This was such an adorable diner and I was not expecting bad club music. The atmosphere ruined the whole experience for me and found it to be extremely annoying.

Waitress seemed upset we walked in 30 mins before closing. The thanksgiving sand was burnt on top. I had to get up twice to ask for ketchup and mayo. And then paid $70 for two sandwiches and a hotdog. Absolutely ridiculous

The avogolemono (soup with chicken, lemon, orzo) is utterly fantastic. The coffees are generous, delicious, and varied. Service is efficient, friendly, and informed.

Local and delicious food. Not always fast, but always worth it!!!
Everything was great but don't go there if you're from out of town. They didn't add up the bill right. And then said there was 16% tax I got taxed 30% on a 41.00 bill to 53.00 total.vermont 9% meal tax

Love the diner! Eleni's really made it the best diner experience possible, with great local food, good service, and very reasonable prices. Reccomend getting there early, as it gets very busy!
Our first stop in Vermont and wow what a way to start our short getaway!! The best breakfast I’ve had in a while!! The bacon was the star as well as the cortado coffee and the pancakes…I can’t choose!!!

Had been looking forward to coming here since moving to the area and back to New England. What a huge dissapointment.
Walked in to two young people standing behind the bar/counter. Waited for a bit for anyone to offer a greeting. Was looked at numerous times and ignored. When I finally asked if I could take an open seat at the counter or if I needed to check in with the waitress up ahead, I was told that was fine. I sat down to zero welcome and a dirty counter with cold food crumbs a big rack of silverware waiting to be rolled right in front of me. Neither person "working" cleaned it, offered me water, or moved the silverware. Finally another waitperson gave me a menu. She was not terribly friendly and seemed way too stressed out. I noticed a young woman (the only other customer at the counter) waiting a long while for anyone to clear her obviously empty plate. She put her cc out and waited even longer. She eventually left after someone ran her card and not one person of the 4 waitstaff near the counter/door said a word to her like "thanks for coming in! Have a great day!" And two of the staff were just chatting to eachother rolling silverware literally next to the door the woman left through. The young man working behind the bar had an attitude as if he was mixing martinis at the Ritz instead of pouring mugs of drip coffee or tap water into plastic cups. I had to ask for the counter to be wiped down before my food came which the young girl behind the counter, seemed out of her depth to handle. I tried to tell my waitress things felt bad, she seemed like she couldn't handle a comment like that and said "sorry that's been your experience we are busy and we all kind of handle different things" and pretty much ran away as fast as she could. I've worked as a waitpersson, a bartender, a catering manager. I get it. But there is zero need for negligent and unfriendly service no matter how busy you are. You can always smile and say "Someone will be right with you. Welcome in. Have a nice day." Etc. The young man brought my food, set it down without a word. When I asked for some ketchup you'd think he'd been asked to move a literal mountain and not the bottle from the end of the counter 5 feet away. ZERO "can I get you anything else? Enjoy"
An older waitress realized something was off and was kind enough to ask me if I needed anything. She apologized saying how sorry she was and that they need to do better at being attentive and kind even if they are busy. But sadly her attempt to fix it was followed up with probably the most ridiculous part of this whole experience. When I decided to just get a to go box and leave, it felt so yucky there, I said "excuse me" to the young man, who was, for the third time since I had been there, leaning against the bar looking at his cell phone, he literally didn't move his phone, looked at me over the tops of his little orange tinted glasses as if I had interrupted him. I proceeded to say "may I please have a to go box" to which he said "what size do you need." without moving the 1 foot where he could have seen that I hardly touched any of my food. I guess I am supposed to know what sized boxes they keep in the kitchen/ The nice waitress watched this whole thing and told him "I think a medium will be good" he brought it back with the same attitude he had from the moment I walked in. Not "how was everything?" "thanks for coming in" nothing.
However he was very friendly to folks he clearly knew that came by. But he never cracked a smile to anyone that seemed new there including myself.
If your restaurant operates on a "we all stay in our own lane and are put out by having to help our coworkers when they are in the weeds by doing "their" jobs like greeting customers, wiping dirty counters, getting someone a glass of water" etc. then you have a very problematic and di

We love the Putney Diner and visit often for breakfast and lunch. Our favorites are the eggs benedict, chorizo, cranberry toast, fresh cut fries, burger, meatloaf sandwich with stuffing added, lemon chicken soup, and mocha latte. The owner and staff are super nice.
