Every year, we come to the finger lakes for a fall dog show...and every year, we so much look forward to Connie's Diner for breakfast ...both superb service and terrific food. Never disappoints and we always recommend the trip for others to equally enjoy. read more

This place was very awesome. We got the chicken parm & the fried shrimp dinner platter. Both tasted amazing, and the portions were very generous. We both preferred the chicken parm, but you can't go wrong with either option. We did make the mistake of underestimating the size of the loaded milkshake, and we just could not finish it. Portions are big so come hungry and still be prepared to bring something home. Service was great, and the vibe of the spot was very old timey. read more

From the outside to the inside you are in a time capsule, transported back to amazing "real" food. I had a Pancake Sandwich. Pancakes were perfect. Light, fluffy but still crispy enough to handle the syrup! My Brooklyn husband asked for an Egg Cream to start - which was not on the menu, but they graciously accommodated once I told them how to make it. He also asked for a greek omelette. Connies omelettes are made with four eggs, so he was a little skeptical as to whether he could eat it all... He loved it and ate every bite and said the home fries were outstanding, everything was absolutely delicious. So, if you're visiting Waterloo New York and taking in a cell like we were, make sure you visit Connie. It is worth the trip! read more

This place is nostalgic. I remember visiting here as a young child. Always fiddling with the mini jukebox that sits atnthe table. Waiting for Mom to give me change to play a song or two while we ate. That was always my favorite memory growing up. I visit here from time to time. It has been over 59 years just for me. Still the same as I remmbered. My sister went with me recently and she gleemed at how much it looks the same and she isnin her seventies! There are old movie star pictures and just l7ke I remmber those junkboxes at the booths. Crome and green/blue with some red. Really just you back in time! Big windows, old melabia on the walls. They even have a counter with the stools attached like when you went for a milk shake. My husband and I went there for dinner. We were very happy with what we ordered. He had roast beef sandwich smothered in rich gravy and golden brown French fries. I ordered a hot steak and cheese wrap with onion and papers. It was wonderful! Just like I used to make. The steak was tender like steak um steak. My favorite. I will be going back again! They had a fire there a while back so I am glad to announce theynare back open and jam packed all the time!! Trust me people wait and it will be worth it. Better then some expensive Italian restraunt we visited and was scolded for not giving them 5 stars. I was told to go to 5 star restraunts. I have been and have not looked back lol. They are a cash only business. No internet avalable. I only know because they had a funny home made sign that read... "No we do not have internet, so talk to one another" lol I did pull my device out to take pictures of our food. Located on the main strip in Waterloo. On a corner. Looks like a big bus or train car. Big sign, old truck sits out front. You can not miss it! Visit Waterloo NY. This will be a great. Even if it is for a nice milk shake. read more

Breakfast was delicious at this well-managed diner. The service team helped each other. Very busy, and experience shows in how soon you and others after you are seated. The decor provided fun topics for discussion. read more

Came for the milkshakes, will be coming back for the food...and the milkshakes! My fiancée and I saw a post about these amazing milkshakes that Connie's created and we wanted to try one for ourselves. We went in for dinner, and being a diner, we weren't expecting much in terms of food, but oh man, we were pleasantly surprised! I started off with the chili and my fiancée got the mozzarella sticks. The chili was standard and exactly what I expect for chili, nothing more, nothing less. I'm not a fan of mozzarella sticks but other half loved them. For my entree, I got the chicken parmesan, a side of fries and a side salad and she got the trash plate with a cheeseburger and a hotdog and added chopped jalapeños on top. My salad and fries were standard. My only complaint is that the fries had no salt on them, but once I put some ketchup on them, they were fine. The chicken parmesan was so much better than I was prepared to get. The breading was light but crispy and surrounded two huge juicy chicken breasts, just perfectly cooked. They definitely were not stingy with the mozzarella on top. Every bite of chicken seemed to come with a forkful of stretchy, delicious mozzarella. And if it couldn't get better, the sauce had so much more flavor than I've ever had from a diner. I've gone to a lot of Italian restaurants and I've paid a lot more for a lot less. And there was so much, I couldn't even make it to the second piece. My fiancée also raved about her trash plate. The trash plate comes with the two meats, smothered in an awesome meat sauce, fries, and macaroni salad. I should note that if you haven't had a trash plate before, the burger and hot dogs do not have buns, they're just the meat. The burger was cooked perfectly, which has been very hit or miss for us at restaurants throughout the region. The hotdog, interesting, had some sort of baking spice on it ~ it tasted like cinnamon and nutmeg, which surprisingly went really well with it, especially combined with the meat sauce and jalapeños. The fries actually absorbed a bunch of the liquid from the meat sauce and became phenomenal. The mac salad offered a nice refreshing flavor to the mix that pulled the whole dish together. Last, but certainly not least, we bought the cannoli milkshake. It tastes as amazing as it looks. It came with two mini cannolis which were sweet with flaky crunchy shells. The milkshake alone tastes like a real cannoli and worth every penny. Then it's topped with this thick, heavy, sweet whipped cream and chocolate chips and dusted with crushed cannoli shell. We were scraping the chocolate and cannoli shell off the sides and dipping it in the whipped cream. This was easily my favorite milkshake I've had in recent memory. We will definitely be back for both the stellar food and awe-inspiring shakes!!! I should also mention that we came on a busy Saturday night and were seated right away and our server was able to check up on us regularly. It was actually really impressive. The food also came out fast and fresh. I definitely recommend checking this place out for an amazing and cheap dinner experience in the Finger Lakes. read more

Love it. Friendly cozy good food!! Slow enough we even played some cards in there. Had no issues. Great staff !!

This place is great for breakfast lunch or dinner. My favorite is the Hamburger and fries with gravy over both. Good for lunch or late night snack. Love this diner! The ambiance is that old diner frozen in time and the service is excellent. read more

My families new favorite place when we come here. The waiters are amazing and so sweet to everyone. The food is AMAZING and great prices!! You get so much food for the price. The ice cream sundaes are great but HUGE. I recommend sharing between two/three people to be honest. Because your stomach will hurt after/if you finish one. Such a cute comforting diner and we went twice in one week! read more

This place is a hidden little gem. The service was lovely, the waitress was polite, funny, and just one of those people you can't help but like. The ambiance is very 50's diner and I loved it. There's a lot of diners that try to pull off the the 50's look and feel but this place certainly feels and is 50's. It's well done and truly fantastic. Then lastly there's the food, the food was wonderful! A nice decently priced steak and eggs with rye toast made my morning and started the day up well! Cooked nicely, needed a little extra seasoning but I tend to like food on the spicier side so not something bad. All in all a great place! read more

A real diner! Fun place with a friendly atmosphere and really great food! Would definitely come back next time we are in the area

Great place to stop for breakfast - nostalgic 1950s style diner. Busy Sunday morning and they didn't take names at door - people just stayed in an orderly line for first come, first serve. There is counter service so you can skip the line if there's an open stool. FYI - cash only - they don't take credit cards or checks. Plenty of staff hustling and they all took turns bringing the coffee pots around to everyone, not just their own tables. We did wait awhile for our food to come but again it was a busy Sunday. When it did arrive it was hot and fresh. Bacon was crispy as were the delicious home fried potatoes. My omelette filled the plate and the filling was very generous. Though I'd prefer fresh mushrooms, the canned ones in the omelette were okay. There was a great selection of dessert and the waitress said the lemon pie was homemade so we ordered a piece to share. The meringue was very tall and fluffy, the crust was light, and although the lemon filling was a bit sweet for me (I like it tart), it all worked and was delicious. We would definitely stop back, especially to get a shake some summer day - they looked fantastic! read more

I liked the old school decor and could easily read up and appreciate the diner's history on the cover of the menu. The Connie's classic meal was AFFORDABLE, delicious and filling. The strawberry waffle was light and fluffy. Not for nothing, but the corned beef hash had the best potato to beef ration I've experienced in a while. Get your cash and check this place out when you're in the area. Good: -Connie's Classic!!! -Strawberry Waffle! -Side order of corned beef hash Bad: -Cash only read more

Wow what a fun place! It's like walking back in time at this retro diner. It's very original and very nice. Food was good! The milkshakes are delish . Made with Byrne Dairy ice cream.

One of the Finest diners outside of New Jersey that I have had the pleasure to dine in. When I read about the fountain service, the first thing I asked the waitress is whether they served egg creams. She was quite puzzled and said she never heard of them. I guess it is a downstate thing. Despite this, Connies serves multitudes of milkshakes and ice cream sundaes and all sorts of other good stuff. I wasn't in the market for something that fattening for lunch, so I ordered a tuna salad on rye with lettuce tomato and sweet onion and, I have to tell you, it was one of the best tuna fish sandwiches I have ever had. Connies served it with a huge plate of fries which were perfect. There are juke boxes at the table which is fun. The bathrooms were clean, something you don't find out a lot of restaurants. All the staff wore Connie shirts and seemed very friendly and proud to be working at Connies. Even though there was a large crowd in the restaurant, we receded quickly and served our food quickly as well. A great place. read more

Fantastic! Drove in from the Rochester area to meet family and ordered the chicken dinner, mashed potatoes and a salad. My only suggestion would be to not melt an entire small plastic ramekin full of butter to pour over the mashed potatoes. It was far too much. We all ordered something different, and everyone's looked delicious. Sadly we didn't save room for dessert, as they looked fantastic and I've heard nothing but rave reviews about their milkshakes! We look forward to our next visit for sure. read more

Finally got to you here and it was nice. My chili cheese hot dog was ok, The chili on top wasn't fully cooked it was lukewarm and the cheese on top wasn't melted at all as advertised. I had a good root beer float and the ambiance inside is great. Cute little jukeboxes at each table but none of them are able to be used it's just for decor. Great 50's music playing and the decor is vintage/nostalgic I liked it:) prices were fair and food came right Away. This place is always packed so don't be surprised if there are no seats available when you get there. Also this is a CASH ONLY place, they don't take cards of any kind. Nice people, i may go again I'm not sure, but I'm glad I got to try it out finally. read more

Connie's Diner - Specials menu as you walk in the door. - Diners Near Me - Waterloo, New York

This is the epitome of a diner - and I am from NJ, the diner capital of the world!!!! It's exactly what you expect when you think of a typical diner of yesteryear. Counters, booths, jukeboxes on the tables (albeit no longer working) and a display of desserts behind the counter. Retro signs (not original but still really cool) and the perfect menu made us smile. I ordered a BLT on toasted rye with fries. He ordered a hot roast beef sandwich smothered in brown gravy, with fries also smothered in brown gravy. This was all really, really good, but the real winner of the meal was the chocolate malt he ordered. Not only was it perfect - made in an old-fashioned milk-shake machine - but there was enough for two people to share. And you better know I accepted his offer to share ;) Sometimes you just need the comfort of an old fashioned diner. If we are ever anywhere near there, we will absolutely be back! read more

Loved this 50's diner. Fun experience with the table jukeboxes. Food was fresh and delicious and service was excellent!

I have been going here for years. This place will always be my favorite. Located off state route 5 and us 20 in waterloo NY. This place is a must stop. They have homemade real food. No fake stuff here. It's even well priced. I'm do glad they haven't changed a thing. read more

Connie's Diner - Here with family for lunch - Diners Near Me - Waterloo, New York

I was staying in Seneca Falls for a couple of days and a lack of breakfast choices led me here because of good reviews and it was nearby. It's an old fashioned diner with a standard menu and some specials done really well. It was very crowded when we first walked in but we didn't wait long as customers were constantly coming and going. I ordered the special Sausage Gravy and Biscuit and my mom got the short stack of regular pancakes well what came looked like a big bowl of gravy and 2 giant hubcaps! By no means was this a bad thing. There happened to be a tender biscuit buried under that delicious, thick gravy and the pancakes were so fluffy and moist they almost didn't need syrup. Service was so pleasant (and very fast for these parts) and we enjoyed everything so we came back the next morning where I had Corned Beef Hash with Eggs and mom had Oatmeal, again, well done. A great local spot! read more

Great food and wonderful service. Marsha took great care of our table. Servings are large enough to fill the plate.

The food and service was great. Love the lasagna, we have never had a bad meal. So glad they are back open.

Let's start off with the good: Food was good. We had ham clubs - thinly sliced deli meat as all deli meat should be sliced! If you want some thick slabs on your sandwich please stay home and save the rest of us from Thanksgiving slabs on a sandwich. Grilled cheese and sweet potato fries. Jalapeño corn chowder soup - all good. Prices are very reasonable. Now the bad. For the love of all that is holy - please retire the waitress Betty Anne. She could be 40, she could be 80. Who knows because we all know career waitresses at diners age very differently. So slow...as in it took 30 minutes for her to shuffle over and take our order. And then she's worried about bussing the tables. Get separate table bussers! It's always busy here, and other waitresses had people sit down after us, and left way before us. read more

Interesting classic diner. The evening we were there, we arrived around six o'clock, and the diner was so full we had to wait around 15 minutes to be seated. (true testimony to the great food and service!!) Everything was delicious and the loaded milkshake was certainly a pleasure to behold. read more

Love the old diner feeling! Great food and service! Try their milkshakes, make sure you have someone to split it with!

The food and portions are always good at Connie's. I've heard people complain and cannot figure out why. The service is good, the atmosphere is nostalgic and though prices have gone up a bit, it's to be expected these days. read more

This diner is cute, and has a nice menu, but when there was a problem with one of the items we ordered, we were told by our sever, "they probably won't take it off the bill". I'm sorry, but that is unacceptable. The item in this case was a side order of corned beef hash to go with our breakfast entrees. The hash looked great, but when both my wife and I tasted it, it was so salty that neither of us could eat it. Our server told us "you guys must not like salt". I said, we do like salt, very much in fact. However, the amount of salt in this dish was overwhelming. Nevertheless, we did not eat the hash, but we were still charged for it. We will not return to this establishment. read more
