Social media made me do it. I had this place on my list for awhile and opted to take my daughter for her birthday brunch. The establishment itself looks like a regular diner. Customer service was the best part of the experience. Presentation is tic toc worthy. The food was mid. Regular diner food you could get anywhere. Also the food portion are huge. Would I go back...NO....BUT I would recommend going once to try YES.

Cheesesteak
Zan L.

Visiting the area from Los Angeles for business so I really wanted a diner for a dinner option. My server was very polite and the free parking lot in back was easy but it was not my favorite diner experience of the year. Inside is fairly small but the tables are large and can host groups up to six per table. They do have a giant menu filled with all sorts of options, some of them are pretty crazy, especially the influencer section of the menu. I started off with a cup of the chili and wasn't a huge fan of it. It tasted more like the Cincinnati chili and had a large amount of oil. For my entrée, I chose the cheesesteak and was hoping it was going to be like a traditional Philly style, but it wasn't quite. I liked it more than the chili but still made me wish that I ordered a tuna melt or something else. I would give it a try again on a future visit but would want to try it again before I recommend.

Our family had a wonderful time at Elm Street Diner! The food was absolutely delicious, and our kids were so happy with everything they ordered. Though the line was long, it was worth the wait--the upbeat music and friendly energy kept us engaged. The host was attentive, seating guests efficiently and ensuring quick table turnovers, averaging just over a minute. Service was excellent; coffee refills came right on time. Highly recommend this spot for families and friends.

Fried Calamari

Finally got a chance to visit Elm Street Dinet today. We came around noon. Got seated right away. It had such a nice diner atmosphere with plenty of booth seatings. The service was friendly. The menu was extensive and we had such a hard time deciding. I wanted to have a milk shake at some point but the portion sizes were large so I resolved to cone back and get the milk shake on another visit. We started with Fried Calamari. Very crunchy. I ordered the fried chicken pancake tacos. I like the savory sweet combo but could only eat one. It came in a set of three. My brother ordered the corned beef has Benedict. It really looked good with the hollandaise sauce. Everything was tasty. I definitely have to come back to try other items. As we walked out they were assembling the special birthday cake milk shake. It looked awesome. It was for 2 little kids. Wheee! Sugar high.

One of the more fun restaurants I've been to. The food was really good, they had a lot of options which made it hard to choose! The service was super quick and very friendly and the restaurant was packed soo you know it was good. Would definitely recommend!

Fine food, but honestly overhyped. My girlfriend and I were really excited to try this place and it wasn't bad, but wasn't the best food. We ordered the big macc eggrolls as our appetizer and while they were good, all we were tasting was meat and cheese, nothing else. I got the loaded fajita omelet with chorizo and it was good, just tasted like any other omelet. My girlfriend opted for the buffalo chicken mac and cheese wrap and was very underwhelmed. It came with the buffalo ranch syringe and LOOKED so epic, but lacked in flavor and was rather bland, could have been so much better with cheesier mac and cheese and more buffalo sauce. I'd go back to try the shakes and desserts they're known for but I'd skip brunch next time.

Spicy Rigatoni Parm Sandwich

We drove 1.5 hours to try this place because it has been so hyped up. We figured we would give it a go because we were visiting relatively close. The spectacle of the Influencer meals were fun. If you are within 30 minutes of the diner the spectacle alone would be worth stopping by. I had the Spicy Vodka Parm Sandwich and my husband had the Chicken Alfredo Parm Sandwich. They were both fine. The sauces were a bit on the bland side. They were served with a side of waffle fries and the waffle fries were better than the sandwiches. We also got the Oreo Dream French Toast. It was huge and there was so much sugar anfetamínica candy on it. Again, the spectacle was fun but the dish itself was just like eating spoonfuls of sugar. There was no other predominant flavor to it. I would not recommend driving more than 30 minutes and the flavors are not worth breaking your diet for! It was fun to see all the crazy concoctions and stacked milkshakes (think donuts, cupcakes, slices of cake, etc.) stacked like the Willy Wonka version of a Bloody Mary.

Bar and kitchen

A friend and I decided to go here for dinner after I raved about the Norwalk location. This is a smaller venue in comparison, but seemed to have nicer ambience IMO. Waitstaff was dutiful and the food was amazing. I started off with the lamb gyro platter. Fries were crispy, Greek salad had a delicious dressing, high quality feta and veggies. The gyro meat was absolutely delicious and the pita had a great texture. The cup of tzatziki was dry and stale, but they replaced it without question and gave me a fresh cup, which was delicious. I enjoyed this dish immensely. Then I sunk into the crispy chicken Caesar burrito. The garlic parm waffle fries were to die for; savory, garlicky and cheesy. The burrito was delicious; chicken had a great flavor and texture and the Caesar sauce was creamy and cheesy. One thing I wasn't expecting was that the entire burrito wrap was laden with butter. This burrito was much richer than the one I had in Norwalk (chicken Mac n cheese) so if you want to try it, make sure you can handle the richness. For some reason they gave us a free chocolate cheesecake for desert. We were both full, but I took one bite just to try it. Deliciously chocolatey and decadent. Over the top Americana gluttony. This place rocks!!

Double Stacked Fried Chicken Bigg Mac Quesadilla
Chassidie L.

You know, when you see places blow up on social media you're a little skeptical. Normally the aesthetics are great but the food is eh. Not here though! The food was so instagram worthy & DELICIOUS! Plus the portions are hugeee. Everything my friends and I got, we loved. We came here on a Saturday night around 7pm and did not have to wait for a table. Service was kind of slow, but the restaurant was busy so it was expected. We got the double stack big mac quesadilla, buffalo chicken curly fries, and strawberry cheesecake french toast. My personal fav was the quesadilla and strawberry cheesecake french toast! They were both super delicious and filling. We went home with so many leftovers. Such a good deal for the price and how much food you get. They have all these outrageous foods, especially their dessert. A great place to bring your kids for a birthday party!

I thought this place would be great for my girlfriend and I. When we walked in we were met with 6 people standing and talking - workers, staring us down as we walked in. Not any greeting, it felt as though we were not supposed to be walking into the establishment whatsoever. When we were seated we ran into lots of issues with our server, she spoke little to no English and things were very hard to get across. Now food. I am a chef and this place was disappointing. My egg on the bacon egg and cheese was overcooked, the bacon was dry, and cheese was hardly melted. They brought plain pancakes when we ordered chocolate chip pancakes. And completely forgot the yogurt my girlfriend ordered. For atmosphere things were weird. Every person was Mexican working - 0 diversity. While we were eating there were 11 workers taking up the dining room area, at the bar stools, on their phones, walking around chatting, drinking drinks, and yet no one helping us. This place is on its last legs, don't come.

Nutella Reeses Churro French Toast, Spicy Vodka Chicken Parm Waffle Fries , some sort of insane burrito
Amandalynn W.

Been here 3 times now and waited to review. EACH time was PERFECT. And just so incredibly amazing. It has yet to fail me. It is a 2 hour drive in each direction and I would do it even again for a fourth time. SO WORTH EVERY AND ALL HYPE. GO!!!! GO!!! GO!!!! The food is amazing and unique, portions are more generous than the Cheesecake Factory, not Too crazily priced for what you're getting and let's be real... this is an EXPERIENCE. So it is WORTH IT !!!! I didn't have to wait to be seated any of the times I went, walked right in and sat down. Went around 11/12 all times. Love you guys. 10/10 would recommend, will be back again!!!

Brunch Panini
Haley P.

I was really impressed with this place for being a "instagram" diner that leans into the viral food trend. It was Friday morning, so we didn't have to wait at all to be seated. Their menu is huge and quite a few dishes sounded good. I went with the breakfast panini which was delicious. I had a basic iced coffee and wish they'd had some other coffee options. Everything is a little pricey, but service was quick and friendly.

Bland Huevos Rancheros
Yisleidi R.

Everyone has their off days. This place however shocked me today. It isn't our first time eating at this restaurant, and every other time things have been great. Today was the first time we've eaten here in years. We were seated immediately but we waited more than 40 minutes for the food to come. We watched people leave because they could not wait for their food any longer. At first, I thought a chef must have called out. When our food finally came, I was forced to look at the most unappealing home fries that were molded to the plastic container they were stored in. At least try to make them look fresh bru. And the whole restaurant was cold. I was cold. The food was cold. This place should be called COLD Street Diner, am I right? And the coffee refill came like once. In the whole hour and a half we were there. The only times someone would walk by was to clear a table, or that guy idk who he is idk if he's the owner but he was wearing balenciaga sweatpants and then he would just go stand by the register to sip on some wine. My mother ordered the huevos rancheros and they were bland asl. I ordered the birria omelette and it was BLAND EVERYTHING WAS BLAND!!! The birria was just wet it didn't taste like anything bro. We haven't been to the Norwalk location but a lady sitting next to us noticed that we weren't happy with our food and she was speculating that all the good cooks got transferred there. Whether it's the cooks to blame, or the fact that it's a busy Saturday, it's safe to say we will not be coming back.

Had a tasty brunch with some friends recently at "Bedford Hall Craft Kitchen and Bar" in Stamford!…read more Inside is spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is a very modern tavern that gives off a very social feel. Ambiance rate 6.5/10. My friends and I ordered... 1. Wild Mushroom Scramble: This dish was great! The toasted bread smeared with a truffle cream was delicious! However, the truffle flavor was faint, so I'd recommend asking for truffle aioli on the side which essentially elevated its overall taste. Rate 8/10. - Side of French Fries: These were okay since they could've been crispier. Rate 6/10. 2. Chocolate Babka French Toast: This was a nice sweet dish! However, it lacked berry compote, and the bread itself was soggy on the bottom which was upsetting. Rate 7/10. 3. Steak and Eggs: This dish was yummy! The eggs were perfectly runny, and the chimichurri was good! Unfortunately, the hanger steak was cooked almost well done rather than medium rare which was what I asked for. Rate 7/10. The staff were friendly and the service was moderately quick. Service/staff rate: 7/10. Overall, this casual establishment is a nice place to hangout and enjoy a nice Sunday brunch.

Our party of 4 had dinner on 9/12/26. The weather was perfect, so we dined outside…read more The black garlic hummus and truffle steak tartare on crispy rice appetizers were both delicious. We ordered the short rib/mashed potato, cauliflower steak, fish & chips, and the all American Burger for our entrees. Everything was perfectly seasoned, well plated, and tasty. Service was slightly disjointed but our server was very friendly. We'll definitely return to enjoy some other items on the menu and would recommend to others!

Inside, the café is clean, inviting, and has a warm atmosphere that's perfect for grabbing a coffee or catching up with a friend. I ordered a large cold brew with vanilla syrup, and it was easily the highlight of my visit. Smooth, refreshing, and nicely balanced without being overly sweet. I would absolutely order it again. For food, I tried the Breakfast Burrito, although it's really closer to a Crunchwrap than a traditional burrito. It comes with scrambled eggs, bacon, peppers and onions, cheddar cheese, avocado mash, tater tots, and lima crema. On paper, it sounded like a home run. Unfortunately, the execution did not live up to the description. It ended up being extremely greasy, mushy, and surprisingly lacking flavor despite having so many ingredients. I kept expecting each bite to get better, but it never really did. It was one of those dishes that had a lot of potential but just missed the mark. My cold brew and breakfast came to $23.84 with tax, which felt a little expensive for a breakfast wrap and coffee. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee because it was excellent. As for the food, I'd probably try something different next time. If the kitchen can match the quality of the coffee, this place could be a real standout.
