You really get the feeling that not much has changed here in a very long time. It has the perfect old school diner vibe with what appears to be mostly original furnishings. Great menu and respectable service. And all our dishes were heaps of home made comfort perfection. read more

Looking for an olde timey diner? You got it. Lots of seniors, few tables, dozen ish counter stools, and family vibe. Had roasted turkey, pierogis, and the usual diner fare. Busy place. Small parking lot. Cash only but atm at front. No ramp and a couple steps. Big portions and cheap cost. read more

Great food, staff very friendly and welcoming, variety of food choices. Home made from scratch food, no processed food. The cook is wonderful. read more

Great food and even better service. If you're looking for someplace that's fancy, this isn't it. If you're looking for great food, lots of it and fantastic service, look no further. This is what I think of when I think picture a true hometown diner. From the minute we walked in the door everybody treated us like long lost friends. We were probably the only table in the restaurant who weren't regulars because they addressed everyone by name, but they didn't make us feel like outsiders. We both had fish sandwiches and fries and it was amazing. The roll was perfectly toasted and the fish was hot and delicious. The waitress came back often to refill out coffee and always with a smile and a conversation. We we absolutely be back! read more

Eddie's Paramount Diner - Amazing fish sandwich with fries and gravy. - Diners Near Me - Rome, New York

The first time you enter Eddie's, you will think that this diner car (opened in 1967) is a blast from the past and it shows some signs of wear-and-tear on some of the booths seating (duck tape), but don't let that keep you from talking a seat. Eddie is the cook behind the counter and you will see him prepare your lunch or breakfast right in front of you! The waitresses are professional and always willing to pour you free refills on the coffee. The prices on the menu are very reasonable and I think are cheaper than Denny's! The food portions will fill you up. They are not open on Sunday and Eddie is a cash-only business. An ATM is on the premises. Check out their specials. Yum! read more

Amazing food! Great prices and best if all...the nicest employees! Glad we came all the way from Oswego to enjoy it! read more

Eddie's Paramount Diner - Fish and fries! - Diners Near Me - Rome, New York

Their soups are amazing. The smothered steak with sausage gravy is great. Everything they make is comfort food. Great service too.

Wasn't a fan of the Ribeye sandwich but the Chicken Sandwich was delicious, though the chicken was a frozen patty. The place from the outside is nothing to look at but opening the door you feel like you have literally stepped back in time. Menu is fairly extensive and clearly is a well known to the locals. They seem to do a pretty good take out business. Sign on wall indicates they sell home made pie but was too full for a slice. Would definitely come back for breakfast as this clearly has the potential to be good. read more

We visited Eddie's Paramount Diner for breakfast as a party of two, and our experience was fantastic from start to finish. We were seated promptly, and our waitress, who was incredibly personable, took our drink order right away and came back with our drinks to take our meal order. We ordered a mix of a bagel, corned beef hash, and an omelet. The corned beef hash was the standout for me--absolutely delicious! Our food arrived quickly, and during the meal, the owner stopped by to check in on us, which added a nice personal touch. The atmosphere is welcoming, with friendly staff and reasonably priced food. One of the fun aspects is watching your meal being prepared while enjoying the banter between the chef/owner and customers at the counter. It's a great place for breakfast, and I look forward to visiting again. read more

Fantastic old school diner. Great food. Large portions. Don't let the exterior deter you. Go on in. It's worth it.

Super good hamburger and sirloin tips over noodles. Finished off with chocolate pie. Eddie the owner was very friendly and cheerful! Not a fancy place but an old timey diner with really delicious food! read more

Here's a classic old-school diner where the owner knows the locals by name, everyone behind the counter is working hard, and I wish I could eat there every day. I was in town for three days and looking forward to trying this place after reading the reviews here; unfortunately Eddie's is only open weekdays so I was only able to visit once. I ordered eggs, bacon, toast and coffee, and Eddie's hit a home run! Delicious! 4 meaty strips of thick bacon, eggs running on to my potatoes and toast, and plenty of piping hot, good coffee! Bring cash and your appetite and enjoy! read more

Eddie's is an excellent place to eat. Their staff are friendly and have been working there for years. The owner tries to greet everyone as they come through the door and/or says goodbye. Their carpet entrance way and floor "look" dirty and lots of their seats are badly cracked. But if you take a closer look at the floor what you see is just very old but a clean floor once inside the actual diner. So don't let the initial appearance of this place deter you from enjoying the best "home" cooked food in the whole of the City of Rome. Unlike many restaurants in and around the area, their portions have not gone down as prices raised. Their prices for everything are more than fair and reasonable. They are only open until 3:00 p.m. but takeout is available until 6:00 so place an order for your dinner and enjoy. This is a cash only restaurant. For me, that's the only downside but there is an atm there should you forget. read more

Tried the liver and onions, and it was delicious. Eddie's never disappoints. Rounded off the lunch with a piece of Coconut cream pie and it was awesome. Our waitress was such a treasure. Bright, happy, attentive. Truly enjoyed the lunch today, Tuesday Aug 1st. Recommend this place for quality, service and comfort over and over again. Thank you! read more

This place has the best food for a diner! They have amazing pie and the food is just overall amazing! It is a very small place and can get crowded quickly but you will not regret going as they have amazing food and amazing prices! read more

Diner Fare at its finest. Place is nothing special but the food is freaking amazing. I've never had a bad meal, and enjoy it every time. Huge portions, reasonable prices. But seriously. The pies are AMAZEBALLS. I've never had a better piece of pie, and I have a very hard time deciding between all the flavors. I enjoy the coconut cream... also the banana cream... then the chocolate cream is divine..... but the chocolate peanut butter pie is absolutely my top pick. I can't ever pass it up if it's a choice. You can also order pies for holiday dinners. Sensibly priced and NO ONE at a family dinner can ever pass it up. And I'm the first one to tell everyone where it came from. There's no way I could take credit for those perfect pies! Go and have a meal, but SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT!!!!!!! read more

Looks questionable inside and out, but the food is delicious. The roast beef is better than most chain restaurants. Also, the apple pie is to die for. You get way more than you pay for, I've had food falling off my plate. Best diner food I've ever had. The same waitress is usually there when I am, and she is very nice and welcoming. read more

Visited based on a recommendation of a friend. Pulling in the place looked a little sketchy. I went inside to find a traditional diner. Prices we good, food was great. Will definitely return. Make sure if you visit to bring cash as they do not accept credit cards. read more

Turn the clock back to 1955. This is diner food at its best. I go Wednesday. Turkey carved in front of you by owner, Eddie. Dark or light meat - you choose ! Specials daily. Pies homemade and great. Service is friendly. Prices reasonable. What else could you want. Full menu and specials every day. Worth driving a ways to this one. read more

Stopped in for breakfast with my girls the other day and had a quick breakfast. I had an omelette with bacon and cheese and a side of toast which was all very good. Nothing out of this world but good. My kids both had pancakes and eggs. The eggs were solid no complaints there. Both of the girls said the pancakes were good but in my opinion they were fairly bland with out a lot of taste. The service was good and quick. Over all a decent meal at a good price but nothing to get excited about. read more

I have been coming to Eddy`s for years. Good home cooking with good prices.I don`t think they have changed in 50 years.

This place is THE hidden gem of the city. It doesn't look like much on the outside or even on the inside for that matter, but the food is delicious. It's exactly what you want when you're craving some home-y diner food. It doesn't matter what you order since it's all pretty delicious, but I highly recommend the roast beef specials every Thursday. read more

perfect 10 all across the board definitely deserves 5 stars. excellent waitstaff, minimal wait time for food, and terrific quality of the food on my plate! read more

We have been twice and loved it both time. Being a diner owner myself I really appreciate how much awesome food they have considering the limited cooking space. Even my picky 15 year old and 11 year old love it and ask to go back. read more

Eddie's is housed in a classic 1940 "railroad car." It presents a less than glorious appearance from outside or inside. If you get past the looks you will find a diner that is far better than most for eating at great prices. The daily specials change by the day on a weekly basis. Thursdays are for roast beef that rare matches any prime rib in our estimation. If only well done is available or you just don't like rare, I suggest you might want to try almost anything else. The corn beef and cabbage with horseradish sauce made for the day is what I usually get. Lamb when it is in season on Tuesdays is also very special for us. Best, Terry read more

Great place for breakfast, typical diner fare, nothing trendy.
