    I had not been to Bell City diner since it rebranded (from previous owners) a few+ years ago. I am happy to report it continues to earn its high Yelp rating and reputation for being a top local dining destination. On this Saturday late-morning, it was packed with a modest wait to get a table. The hostess and eventual wait staff were attentive, efficient, & friendly. My breakfast was solid and I will happily be back next time I'm in that East Bristol/Plainville area.

    This restaurant was a great find! It feeds all your senses. "Diner" is in the name but it isn't your typical diner. There's a water fountain at front & beautiful large chandeliers inside. I felt I may have been a little under dressed, in my stretch pants & tshirt. Bell City has a large & extensive menu. Covering all meals of the day & there's a mixture of American & Latin dishes. Not to mention special milkshakes of the month, & everyday milkshakes that they dress up. The sizes of these drinks & food portions will blow your mind! I can't wait to go back for more Instagrammable food ls & drinks.

    We drove all the way here to just try out a new restaurant and boy, weren't we happy that we did! The diner itself was pretty. Everything we ordered was delicious and the kids loved their drinks.

    Extremely packed with wait times ranging from 15-40 minutes. The restaurant is extremely homey and a bit worn with cute decorations sprinkled around. The best part was 100% the food absolutely delicious, extremely filling, and completely worth the wait.

    Came here with family for a birthday celebration. Gina was our waitress and took care of everything we needed. The food came out quick and everything was good. There was a nice birthday surprise cupcake with a firework sparkler surprise!

    We went here for my birthday and it was just perfect! They have these interesting trees outside and I thought they were real, but they put fake leaves on it!! It looked so pretty! The ambiance and setup are fun, booths are comfortable, service was good. I got the Mary Jane, it was AMAZING! And huge, got 3 meals out of it! My boyfriend got the eggs Benedict and the home fries were really good, I def judge a place on their home fries because I love them so much; nice and crispy. The milkshakes were so tasty, a regular one is plenty big to split between 2 people, my cousin couldn't finish her and even with 2 of us, we had a hard time finishing ours. I want to go back and try some of their other great looking menu items!

    THE FOOD IS TAKING FOR EVER WE HAVE BEEN WAITING HERE ABOUT 30 minutes OR even more. The left bathroom was locked for a long time and some one came out and was just standing there. 60 bucks for 3 meals.. We waited to get seated for 20 minutes but the lady kept telling other people different times. The food was fine but the steak wraps was so small for 15 ish bucks, also the steak wraps came with the random looking yellow stuff. We just sat down the 3 other people sat across from us and when we left they still didn't get their food. It was pretty clean. Don't come on a monday afternoon some people were waiting for 40 minutes just to sit down..this rewiew was the best part. just don't go

    Fancy diner with good food and service. Very clean and well kept, busy place with a line of customers waiting for a seat. I had one of their famous milkshakes, I chose the mocha cappuccino and my husband got the birthday cake shake. Both drinks were so good. We shared mozzarella sticks as an app. For dinner I got a special of the day, fried chicken and cornbread waffles with a peach glaze which was SO good!! I wish this were a regular item on their menu. My husband had chicken fingers and fries which he said were tasty. There may be a wait to get in, but it's worth it! Can't wait to return!

    Came here for my sister in-laws birthday dinner. We ordered the bacon cheeseburger, buffalo chicken wrap , buffalo Mac and cheese. Staff was super friendly and even came out with a cute cupcake with a sparkler in it while singing happy birthday!

    Birthday Milkshake, Omelet, chicken and waffles.

    Bell City Diner is a must try! Far from the average diner, they have fun innovative milkshakes as well as unique takes on different meals! We tried a Blueberry Muffin Waffle, Hot Honey Chicken and Waffles, and a Birthday Milkshake. The Milkshake was fun and delicious! The food was innovative! I highly recommend trying this diner!

    Drove down from Springfield for my daughter's birthday. Was pleasantly surprised. Very clean, staff was inviting and the food was AMAZING! Definitely worth the 50 minute drive. They brought over a birthday dessert and sang. It was really nice. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice as well. Will definitely return and bring friends next time!

    Yelp is asking me to answer the question - What went well ?…read more Is this place a secret gem? I'm not sure but we are so happy we found this place. I feel the need to leave this review here now just in case I forget to leave a actual proper long review. This is our third time, a humble looking joint so we come here always just expecting it's going to be " meh". But we keep coming back, collecting calories around our waist because everything is so good here! Service - always awesome. Everyone here looks like they work cohesively, everyone is smiling working hard . Coffees always refilled. Food- fantastic, always fresh, on point. This time I got an omelette with tomatoes and this is the first time I had an omelet where the tomatoes don't get mushy. Their hash browns are also amazing! ... while we like the shredded we LOVE the fried- like mini French fries. While all of their proteins are awesome - their turkey bacon deserves a special shout out because it often misses the mark at most places.. but not here . And then there are the little things - clean bathrooms, condiments on the table are clean and not sticky or gross !! Anyway, come here.

    Visited Parkside Cafe with a friend and ordered the cannoli crepes and honey mustard chicken wrap…read more Both were AMAZING! The cannoli crepes were the highlight. The filling was rich, creamy, and perfectly sweet, wrapped in a flawlessly cooked crepe. The honey mustard chicken wrap was just as impressive.. fresh, flavorful, and well-made. Highly recommend!!

    Greeted warmly upon arrival and seated quickly. (Friday morning at 9:15)…read moreOur server was very friendly and kind. Our food was delivered really quickly and tasted great! The Sunny Side dish pictured usually comes with hollandaise sauce but I don't care for it so requested it not be added. My husband had a Meat Lover's omelette but started eating before I could snap a picture. He said it was very good. My daughter had the Californian subbing crispy tots for the sweet potatoes. One of her favorite dishes here. Love this place and will definitely return!

    We were a group of 5 girlfriend meeting for a late breakfast (arrived around 10 past 11): we were…read moretold it would be a 30 min wait... the place was packed with people waiting to be seated so it was no surprise that it took an hour for us to get our table. The booth and ambiance were nothing special, but we were given a plate full of apple slices that were sprinkled in cinnamon sugar (which was a nice touch), our waitress was fun and attentive and the food was very good. The menu offerings for breakfast were pretty basic and standard.. you won't find 6 kinds of pancakes or stuffed French toast here, but it's pretty clear that they have perfected their over-easy and other egg game. Hash browns can be the shredded, cubed or tater tot varieties and delicious. The gluten free bread the have was the best I've had (nice job!). Three of us had mimosas and they were delicious. Based on the number of diners waiting to get seated and the high quality of our meals, I'm willing to guess this restaurant is pretty consistent. I would definitely come to Ellie's again. Well done
