    Patty Melt
    Nancy L.

    I remembered there was a diner, off of the taconic that was really good quite a number of years ago. Was hoping it was still there, and it was! Plenty of parking in the back and easy to access. Upon entering, there are mouth watering displays of dessert. Fortunately, the hostess appeared quickly and brought us to a booth. Their menu was quite extensive. So many things called to me. Finally chose the Patty Melt with Swiss cheese. My husband chose the Chicken with avocado panini. Both selections came with coleslaw and fries. The Patty melt was so good! So juicy, was glad I had lots of napkins. Was surprised to find the coleslaw was very good too! In fact, finished it all, and had leftover French fries, lol. My husband liked his Chicken avocado too. He also agreed that the coleslaw was really tasty. Had leftovers, and packed them up. Our server Maximino was attentive and friendly. Suggested dessert, but I couldn't eat another bite. Well, on our way out, I saw the strawberry cheesecake again. Took a picture, because it looked so deliciously pretty. And then decided to take a piece home. And although it seemed a bit pricey for a slice, I didn't care. So glad I did because when I took a peek at home, that slice was Huge. Easily enough for two people. And boy was it delicious!! So if you're anywhere close to the Daily Planet, do your taste buds a favor and stop by. You'll be so glad you did. We definitely will be returning.

    Two eggs, any style

    I've driven by this spot so many times and didn't realize it was such a gem! Really enjoyed my breakfast, two eggs over medium with bacon and sausage. Sneaked a couple fries from my husband's dish and they were delicious!

    Excellent service and prompt, courteous staff. So many good options to pick from. Their "Fonz" Burger is huge, loaded with heapin' helpings of lettuce and tomato, topped with cheese and a Bermuda onion. It's a steal at $8.95. For dessert, their "Buster Brownie" can be easily split between 2 people & is a sinfully rich treat to try. Conveniently located off the Taconic Parkway. I will be back to try either their Chicken Pot Pie or their Turkey platter. Cheers!

    Special porterhouse steak with asparagus ( too thin, no crust) baked potato was very dried out.

    AMBIANCE: Classis, NY Diner with updated art and lighting.. extremely clean. SERVICE: our server, Nicolette, is lovely with a two million dollar smile! She was courteous, hospitable, and efficient, taking care to communicate my food allergies to the kitchen. MY ORDER: The house daily special steak($39) served with a generous helping of plump asparagus and mashed potatoes ( I substituted baked). Was it a $39 meal? No. Typically, at a diner the meals come with soup or salad and bread. I missed having bread with my meal, particularly since diners are typically known for fresh options. The steak would have been better served if it were seared to form a nice crust. It was a bit limp as it cooked with too much liquid. Perhaps it had been frozen first, which would explain the texture that was just a little underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, this meal was definitely worth every bit of $29 but at $39, a thicker cut was definitely called for. My daughter opted for a rice bowl, rice surrounded by lettuce, cubed, grilled chicken breast, avocado, and some other vegetables. I'm a huge fan of salads and didn't feel that for $20. This bowl lived up to the hype but she enjoyed it. Would we order it again, probably not I would more likely for their walnut or pecan salad with cranberries and grilled chicken which I have had before and is delicious Having just come from a family gathering, we did not want to invite in any alcohol or fizzy beverages so glass of water with lemon was my choice. Not too much room for dessert but the desserts at daily planet are extraordinary so I took dessert to go. Lemon meringue pie at 599 per slice was minuscule in comparison to other diners. The flavor was good and it was definitely fresh but for almost 6 dollars the slice could've been more generous. Napoleon. Their Napoleons are outstanding with flaky layers and pastry cream topped with that nostalgic icing. All in all, our bill without drinks and before tip was about $75 for the two of us - pretty pricey for diner. Add to that since she was working a holiday and delivered lovely service I added $20 for our server So nearly $100 and I could say that I would return as I have many times in the past but this time I would opt in for an enormous salad, specialty burger, and fries, or other traditional diner fair.

    The service was prompt. The milkshakes are excellent. The food was OK. The decor was themed and fun. Apparently they have renovated since my last visit.

    Turkey and brie panini
    Bill S.

    Driving up to the Daily Planet Diner, it's a throwback to an early concept. Any diner provides a solo diner or a family the ability to enjoy a solid blue plate special without breaking your bank account. My wife & I enjoyed this diner. Walking in, there are plenty of red counter stools at a large counter. Very diner-y! There are also booths along the windows, the space is very comforting. Diners are an East Coast thing and The Daily Planet has nailed the diner vibe. The menu is substantial. You can order a short stack of pancakes to a burger with fries, the daily planet can whip up any culinary comfort delight! For lunch I decided on a grilled panini stuffed with turkey & Brie cheese. Our cheerful waitress took our order and quickly brought out our entrees. My panini was delicious, the turkey was moist and I loved the thinly sliced fruit that was pressed into the sandwich. Great comfort food in a old fashioned diner setting? The Daily Planet is a 5 star diner, find this place!

    Side of fries and french onion soup! Delicious and fresh!

    I went here after fasting for a procedure. I love the number of delicious options! The diner was busy when we arrived at 1:15pm, however, we were quickly seated and got water immediately. Our waitress was quick to get our drink orders and was ready to take our order when we were! The service is very efficient and the food was great! The restaurant is clean and I love the posters/decorations! This was the perfect place for me today and I'm looking forward to another meal here soon

    The color on those yolks tells the tale - amazing corned beef hash breakfast, a must try!

    I'm admittedly leery of diners outside the Long Island/NYC area - it's rare they come even close to what I get at home. But when you're with a large group that's all voted for one spot in particular sometimes you just have to go with the flow. This was my exact scenario recently on a trip back from upstate with a bunch of family members. They talked a lot about this diner we had to hit on the way downstate. I was skeptical but went with it. First impressions are everything and Daily Planet was certainly impressive from the start. You walk into a huge diner that is clean and very cleverly themed after their namesake newspaper of comic lore. You don't see this often in a diner - I'm talking something out a TV show spotless. And to their credit within 10 minutes our group of 15 was seated and ready to go. Service at DP was equally impressive. Never a long wait for anything, especially the coffee. The super nice gentleman handling the refills was never far away, almost a sixth sense for when you needed a freshening up. Pleased to report that the coffee was fresh & super tasty at every refill. On to the food. When I'm at a diner for breakfast it's pretty much a lock that I'm getting corned beef hash. So when I spotted it featured on their breakfast offerings I knew what I was doing right away. Opted to swap the standard poached eggs they give for my preferred sunny side up which was no problem at all and boy am I glad I did. On first glance when it arrived I knew I was in for a treat - the yolks on those eggs were that beautiful orange shade you only get when they're super fresh from the farm. Unbelievably tasty and the hash was incredible as were the home fries. Also opted for the multigrain toast which was clearly fresh made and absolutely worth the small upcharge. I wasn't sure why they were giving hollandaise with this dish but I'm glad I gave it a go because it was one of the better ones I've had and went beautifully with this incredible breakfast. Definitely impressed and wishing this place was closer to home. Will certainly back on future trips upstate.

    Frozen Tequila Sunrise

    On my way to the Taconic Parkway. I've passed this restaurant/diner hundreds of times and never had the opportunity to stop in. Well that changed this Sunday after coming back from New York City. I stopped in for a bite to eat. The restaurant was very busy. However, we were seated right away and if you look at the pictures I posted you'll see that I got a Texas Cajun chicken sandwich on Texas toast. The sandwich consisted of Cajun spiced chicken with peppers avocado mozzarella cheese and tomatoes on Texas Toast. It was super tasty and had some zing/spice to the sandwich. Their plain fries were excellent crispy and packed with flavor. The frozen Tequila Sunrise was a pass I did not enjoy it. Our waiter was bad and efficient. One thing I can't say if this is always but it was down right cold from the AC. Otherwise they had a wide variety of dishes and a neighboring table got meatloaf dinners and the portions were huge. I think this is a good option while in Dutchess County.

    12/19/2021 - Double Decker Bacon Burger, greasy and tasting.
    Ernie F.

    There's nothing better than finding a tasty diner with a lot to offer. It's located in a prime location right off of the Taconic State Parkway which can be used as a pit stop and also of course people who live nearby. We've been dining here for many years and no issues have occurred on every visit. Sometimes there are days, especially Sundays at lunch where there will be waiting to get a table which could be long or short including the waiter or waitress coming to the table effectively. In life, sometimes patience is the way to go. The main foods I get are burgers, and also pancakes for breakfast which was all good. I won't forget the one visit which in fact was recently when I got their milkshake, and boy was it tasty. The number of visits we make isn't a lot, so there's some exploring to be done on the menu. Something that stuck my eye is the renovation that took place, and I have no idea when it happened, but it looks very nice and has a modern feel to it. I do miss seeing the jukebox at the booth. Service here is great going from the hostess, waiter/waitress, and to the busboy. With all that, make it a (daily) reminder to stop by.

I wanted to make this memorable for all of us. Enter, Danny's Table. This little gem in the Village of Fishkill met every expectation and exceeded them. We took an early dining hour and were seated immediately by Arnoldo, the host, who checked often to assure that we were comfortable and satisfied. We were expertly served by two waitresses, Nayeli and Dyan. And then came the delicious food. The appetizers were so good that I forgot to take pictures of the entrees. I had it all. Great food, great service, and the excellent company I brought with me was already in the bag. I don't know how they could have achieved this level of excellent service and fine dining when they have only been open since September, 2025, but wow! I can only assure you that my siblings and I will be back. And, we will be back soon!

    The good and the bad, Beautiful restaurant , great waiting…read morestaff. Our tall handsome waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu and very attentive all thru out. Though he served bread once and never asked if we wanted more! Now for the food The Hanger steak, with Arugula Salad and feta cheese (tasty) fries are French fries nothing special, the Hanger Steak was served medium rare with a bit of Chimichurri ( tasteless) needed salt n pepper, very tiny portion for the price. Duck a l'Orange also kind of small portion and not particularly tasty, served with red cabbage and blood orange au jus!! Shrimp Linguini, nothing out of the world, needed salt n pepper, very bland. Nod for the good, the Cheese Burger and fries was super duper yummy.
