"Came to this cool, diner on Harvard Avenue in Stamford for Sunday brunch as a party of 7 and was seated after a 15-minute wait. This place has a nice, family-friendly, old-school vibe that really works well. Their menu is like a book - it's filled with a lot of choices to suit every taste and appetite. It's also expansively huge inside - there are plenty of tables, seats and counter seats too. Prices are very reasonable and the food was all great (I had the Eggs Benedict). Friendly staff and overall, a great experience. Bonus: they had Christmas decorations up when we dined, and it made the place look beautiful! Highly recommended!"

"The Stamford Diner is much nicer inside than it looks from the outside. It’s bigger, clean and well lit. We were greeted right away and told it would be a five minute wait, but it ended up being only two which was great. It was packed and we were seated in the back area. Our server Armando was the highlight. Friendly, patient and genuinely helpful, especially with their big menu since it was our first visit. For food, I had the steak and scrambled eggs with American cheese, home fries and buttered rye toast. I also ordered a passion fruit mimosa and an espresso martini. Drinks were a miss. The martini was strong but not made well, and the mimosa wasn’t great either. The steak was cooked correctly at medium, but it had no flavor and was surprisingly fatty. The rye toast was hard and tasted old. The home fries and scrambled eggs carried the plate. She had the old fashioned French toast, bacon and a side of fries. French toast and bacon were solid. She didn’t like the fries, though I thought they were fine. Overall, it wasn’t terrible, but there’s work to do before this becomes a go to breakfast spot."

"Classic diner done right. The food came out very quickly, which was a nice surprise, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, and the salad was perfectly dressed—light but balanced, letting the ingredients shine. Overall, very solid food and efficient service. A great spot when you want something reliable and satisfying."

"The diner has some great decor, the menu had so many choices. Their iced coffee was really delicious. I got the california breakfast burrito and it was really tasty. The service was great and our waiter was super friendly."

"We order so much from them for delivery but oddly never been to the restaurant. Food is hearty, homey, and well made. They never skimp on quality and price everything reasonable vs neighboring options. Would recommend their turkey mash potato broccoli option and also their salads which are very fresh generally. They make better food than most dressy type of restaurants."
