Nice retro feel diner with some Mexican flair.The diner has all sorts of 50s memorabilia throughout and tvs are in black and white. Breakfast is served all day and also offers a hamburger eating challenge . Service was fast and friendly and the restroom was clean. We ordered the Sinatra's breakfast , 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 pancakes or French toast, and a side of grits. Also ordered was the Monte Crisco, ham, turkey, cheese and Swiss on French toast. The Sinatra's breakfast was decent, but the deli sliced meat on the Monte Cristo had been grilled, and the quality and taste were not great. The French toast was too soft; needed more time on grill to brown. The sandwich was also dusted with powdered sugar which for me did not work. Shared parking lot with other business in strip mall style setting. read more

Just revisited with my kids after school shopping and noticed they updated the menu. It's definitely for the better; they've added more flavorful options instead of just the plain bland stuff they usually have. I tried the chorizo platter with eggs, potatoes, peppers, and onions, which was really tasty with a decent portion. Also noticed more Mexican dishes throughout the menu, for lunch items. The kids ordered milkshakes as usual and were happy. They actually request to come here just because of it. Service was solid as always. Prices are a bit higher compared to White's Diner, and I still think it's wild they charge extra for sprinkles as a topping for their shake, but overall it feels like the place has improved. read more

nice place. Very good hot dogs - can get in chili dog format also very good. Other nice menu items, also the decor really is 50's fun to see. The staff and mgmt. also nice, they make the place pleasant and fun. read more

This place was so nostalgic it was just so horny with so many picture frames and pictures of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Audrey Hepburn like this classic. They had invented soda machines and the rotary phones, loved every part of this diner. This is a Mexican 50s vibe diner the food was delicious I had the Huevos A La Mexicana and I was in heaven, I paired it with their Maragrita Smoothie. I've never even heard of a Margarita Smoothie so I was gongho to try it out, and I wasn't disappointed. This was just the first time coming here and before we made our way back home the following day, it was my mother and I we went back for breakfast but wound up ordering lunch it was so good I forgot to take pictures. For lunch my mom did their patty melt and I did their tex barbecue bacon burger. The burger came loaded with bacon cheddar cheese and sautéed onions (mouthwatering). I also paired my burger with their mango smoothie top notch. The wait staff was amazing even though they got busy they never forgot to come back to the table to keep checking on us to make sure we had everything and that everything was good. Next time I'm back in the area I'm definitely coming back to this diner read more

I love a good diner. And this one is no exception. Friendly staff, fresh breakfast, and a 1950s theme. We had the Sinatra combo. It consisted of two eggs, two bacon, two sausages, and two pancakes or 2 waffles. They had 50s music playing in the background. It was not busy when we arrived for our breakfast. The booths are spacious, and the diner itself is too. A lot of cool decor hung up all over this place. I enjoyed the vibe and would love to come back for a nice start to my day. read more

Great food. Good service. Great prices. Amazing 50,'s theme inside. Friendly staff.

This is such a cute restaurant!! The interior is so fun and charming. The wait staff was super friendly and came at the perfect intervals. There was a lot of good choices on the menu and both of our meals were tasty. read more

My wife and I made the trip up to Connecticut from Maryland for a concert and decided to stop here for the cute 50's vibe. Numerous Elvis and Marilyn Monroe pictures adorn the walls. I got a kick out of watching Ironman on one of the TV's in black and white. The food was great and pretty affordable. My wife got a great classic cheeseburger that was the size of her head! The restaurant staff were very friendly and accommodating. If we ever have a reason to return to Connecticut, this will definitely be a stop! read more

Great, old fashioned diner. All the staples of my 50+ years of going to diners, and everything was delicious. We had a basic cheeseburger, onion rings and mozzarella sticks. All was top notch. Love all the decorations too. Even though much of it doesn't quite fit into the 50's theme, it's still fun. read more

Been here a few times but after my last visit won't be going back. We had a girls get together and decided to go there. Well one of the girls found hair in her food, but what was gross was one of the girls found a fingernail in her wrap. That being said I am assuming they don't use gloves or hair net when preparing food read more

GREAT! My server was an enthusiast young man and we ordered some of there special burgers, DELICIOUS it's a unique place and great vibes and the food is amazing! read more

Seems like a small family run business, nice 50s atmosphere, and large menu. The burger as a whole was decent. But the burger patty was tasteless and possibly cooked 50s style (boiled/steamed?). Pickles were too sweet tasted like sandwich pickles, not dill/sour spears as expected with a burger. Fries tasted like frozen out of a bag, maybe seasoning would help? Unfortunately, the service is what really needs work here. Came in about 1pm for lunch. the restaurant was completely empty and there were 2 dirty tables that had not been cleared yet. During the lunch, they proceeded to vacuum near us while we were eating. When we asked them to shut the vacuum so that we could have lunch in quiet so that we could hear each other talk, they started sweeping the rug near us kicking up dust and dirt into the air while we were eating. I used to work in restaurants and the staff here could really use some training. Cleaning should be done when customers are not eating. Before the rest. opens or after it's closed. All in all, I will probably return because the place is in the neighborhood and the food wasn't bad. read more

This used to be a fan favourite diner for me and my family! The food is amazing, the decor is nostalgic, and the service is decent. Although, when I went more recently, I found the place run down. There were barely any customers left, the staff basically were non existent, and EVEN WORSE, while I was eating, I looked to my left and saw a COCKROACH scurrying across the table. Safe to say I will not be coming back here. read more

Old school diner! I love this place because of its location and extensive menu. Now, it's nothing fancy, but I like the 50's theme and you can sit at the lunch counter, booth, or take a table. The perfect spot for early breakfast or late night eats. I had The Rocky wrap which is a chicken cutlet with roasted peppers and cheese; I inhaled it. I was in the area for a couple days so I returned for their "Create your famous sandwich" and had the chicken cutlet. Notice the theme? Point is, they have a lot to offer, spaced out seating for everyone's safety, and quick bites at reasonable prices! Keep holding it down for the port! read more

Greeted by a friendly waitress, we sat at a booth. Loved the 'oldies' music. Decorations were cute. Lots of Marilyn Monroe paraphernalia as well as Route 66 signs. Food was very good and reasonably priced. I had a gyro with fries. This was made a bit different. Usually lettuce and cukes are part of the wrap. This had sauteed onions and tomatoes which were very savory, combined with the gyro meat. When i topped with the tzaikki sauce, it was delicious! Coleslaw was tasty too. Husband had a double hamburger with bacon which he polished off. We were so stuffed, no room for dessert. Maybe next time. On my way out, saw they had an early bird menu. Really good value! Definitely returning. If you're in the area, stop by! read more

The atmosphere of this diner is great. All the decorations and tables and seats were just like you would imagine them. We went in a big group so that might have not been the best for the chefs, but the food wasn't that great. the chicken tenders were less fried and more soggy. But the milkshakes were very scrumptious. The service was pretty good for having a ton of people there. They were super nice and got all food and drinks out relatively quickly. I would want to go back to try the food again! read more

A diner with dirty carpet as the flooring, should have been our first warning. The waitress told us about a show she was watching with people lighting their farts on fire. So appetizing! There's a fine line between being friendly and being gross. The food was meh. And that's being generous read more

Another dinner is added to the many we already have in Fairfield County. This one is suppose to be famous... well I have never heard of it, but congratulations. Visited now for the third time, and even though I still have the opinion "it's not really famous!" they surely have a great menu, and good food. The interior is 50's style, with flat screen tv's showing the local news in B&W. So far the thing I order for Breakfast is the Monte Cristo: 2 slices of Texas French toast topped with sliced ham, turkey and melted Swiss cheese... It's delicious! For Lunch I had the Tex-Mex burger: lettuce, tomato, avocado, bacon, fried onions and chipotle sauce... It was good a good burger worth the try. Thursday - Sunday they are open till 3AM read more

Mediocre. At first, I thought I found a hidden gem, as a quick perusal of the menu showed a lot of food for a very cheap price. However, my pita sandwich, which was ok, ended up being quite a bit more expensive then I thought because they charged me 3$ to add sweet potato fries (which was stated as a 1$ upcharge on the menu). Likewise, the side order of garlic bread was....well, more like garlic crackers. It was razor thin and a little on the dry side. All in all, not a bad place if your in the area and want a large, diverse menu with decent service and an interesting atmosphere. I, however, will not be coming back, as the food was not anything special and a little expensive in the end. read more

Famous 50's Diner - Diners Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

Tasty and inexpensive greasy comfort food diner on the Trumbull side of Bridgeport. Heavy Elvis Presley / Beatles / Marilyn Monroe vibe. Very clean. Friendly staff. I was with a party of nine and the food all came out more or less at the same time. Not super fast, not super slow. Everyone was happy with their food. The service was adequate but the staff forgot a couple sides and some basic necessities like napkins for everyone. I judge all my diners based on their reubens, and I love a tasty reuben that doesn't cost $12. This was a great place to go after a night of drinking. If I'm being nitpicky, the service could be a little better, and the lighting is dim and sterile feeling considering the size of the dining room. Bigger light fixtures and warmer bulbs would perk up the vibe. read more

Famous 50's Diner - Dining floor - Diners Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

I usually go here occasionally for lunch, the food is a hit or miss depending on who's working. The service is usually quick and friendly, I always tip because of the great service. I love visiting here because there are parks nearby and it's in a relatively safe neighborhood. The inside of the restaurant gives off a 50-60s vibe and I just like it. It's GOOD. That all said and done, there are some complaints I have, one day the food would be extremely greasy or uncooked and we would have to take it back. I would recommend but beware it is a heavy hit or miss. read more

Typical diner menu with an added Mexican menu. All day breakfast is a plus. Definitely try the milkshakes! Been here a few times and had no complaints. The 50's vibe is fun and something different than our other diner we like to attend. My 5 year old really enjoys the atmosphere. read more

Such a horrible experience. Firstly have a sign on the door no heat. which wasn't the issue. Came for a breakfast with my wife who craved some pancakes. Her eggs had shells in them and not just one bite mistake. I ordered a t-bone with eggs. What I was served was a thin slice of pale meat half of which was all fat. Horrible they would even consider it a steak let alone a tbone. I said there was a mistake in the order. Where I was informed this is what it is. And that the cook saw it was fatty but gave me extra. Where the extra was I don't know. I was still waiting for the steak. The customer service was horrible they had no concern for the issue. Would not recommend. read more

Really bad pastrami. Hard as shoe leather. No free refills on iced tea. Look elsewhere for a bite of lunch.

If your looking for a delicious and reasonably priced meal, then come check out this little gem in Bridgeport. The decor is a step back in time. Remember sock hops, poodle skirts, leather jackets... etc. Well this joint will have you strolling back in time. The food is great here. The wings were the best I ever had. They were so tender. They melted in your mouth like butter. We had to order a 2nd helping for the table because they were just that good. Their burgers, paninis, salads and sandwiches are fantastic. Give this place a try. Better yet... bring the family on one of the nights that they have the DJ spinning all your favorite oldies. read more

This diner has horrible service and every single time I place the SAME EXACT order almost every day,the price CHANGES. It's NEVER the same price so they're always either overcharging people or if you're lucky enough undercharging people. So frustrating that one day your order could be $14 and the very next day the same order is $17. Mind boggling. And when I mentioned it to the owner he didn't seem to care at all and very rude. Never supporting their business again. read more

We had high expectations, but were disappointed. Unfortunately, while the restaurant has unique decorations that reflect its 50's theme, it is dirty. It doesn't matter whether you are looking at the walls, floors, bathrooms, or tables. The coffee was good, but I had to ask for a refill three times. The food was mediocre. For Gyros meat to be bland is difficult, especially in this part of the country. The chicken fingers and Belgian waffle were just so-so. The food was piping hot from the kitchen, however. Be aware that they charge extra for a side when you order a sandwich. There is parking in the strip center, but it is shared with all of the tenants. We wanted to like this restaurant. Unfortunately, we won't be back. read more

Terrible customer service and the owner/manager has an even worse attitude. I ordered a simple breakfast, which didn't include meat only to get home to learn that my home fries had bacon in them. At least five people handled my call as everyone was sudden confused, yet this wasn't the case when I ordered since money was involved. Instead if offering a refund for their mistake, the expectation was for me to drive back and waste another twenty minutes of my time and be inconvenienced for a mistake they made. Unbelievable read more
