The Stamford Diner

My niece and her fiance brought me here for breakfast. It was super cool. The menu is extensive and the food was great. Came to the table piping hot - which is how I love it. The waiter was very friendly, did not hover or rush us. Plenty of tables and booth and bar seating as well. Great dessert cases, but too early for me to eat sweets, lol.

We came with our kid to have the show for kids, by mistake I didn’t make a reservation yet they take us to a table to watch the show. The serving portions are amazing and the flavor good. Definitely coming back!

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 atmosphere is very 50s, adorable and clean. Lots of seating and the staff was polite, quick and on point with all of our requests. And the food was delicious! Very enjoyable experience, we will be back again when down this way for sure.

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.

They had amazing food. Great waffles, especially the tornado waffle, and the eggs were top tier. Would definitely go back.

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.

Pickup service was solid, but the food quality was a serious issue. We received moldy fruit in our order, and we ended up just tossing out the whole order out of concern for food safety. After speaking with the manager, we were promised a refund that never materialized. Disappointing experience overall, and wouldn't recommend. To further clarify in response to the owner, the moldy fruit in question was an order of grapefruit and was not "a mistake" or from another establishment.
