Been here a number of times and it's honestly become so much more than just a diner to us. The service almost treats you like family. You can clearly see the good vibes and that's what brings us back again and again. If you are expecting gourmet, this definitely isn't your stop. But for a quick lunch to get some fries, or a breakfast to catch up with friends, this place is perfect. The food is filling and carb-heavy and sometimes that's just what you're craving. Love their Thanksgiving special of the ribs, sweet potato and carrot. It's so comforting in Fall. read more

We have been here several times for breakfast and have always been very satisfied the the food and friendly service. We were dining in to yesterday, 05/29/30, and were once again very pleased. Our server, Gloria, was pleasant and friendly. My wife's banana pecan waffles and my eggs Benedict were stellar. One day we will return for lunch. Looking forward! read more

I'm surprised that this restaurant has only three stars. It should have a good solid 4 stars for the following reasons: -Tasty Food -Friendly and attentive staff -Comfortable ambiance with high back booths and lots of windows to let in natural light. My husband and I both had the New Orleans omelette (as we are partial to flavorful foods). He had his with breakfast potatoes and I had mine with the citrus salad. The salad was bright and fresh. The omelette was prepared with just the right amount of ingredients. We enjoyed our experience at Mill Plain Diner and would eat there again. read more

I visited MPD for a late lunch. The diner was empty. Well, now I know why. The service was OK. The food was tolerable. MPD is a large establishment, one was closed, it does have parking. There was not much of an ambiance. MPD might need an assessment and a revamp. read more

Ordered the Pastrami and Eggs. First bite of the Pastrami and it was sour and spoiled. Told the server. Server changed the food but I'm guessing management was not informed. I probably should have made a bigger stink of the issue. read more

My second time here at Mill Plain Diner in Danbury. Visiting my brother at Regional Hospice , I always stop in to get breakfast or lunch. The diner is immaculate. The food is so good. I got two eggs over medium, homemade corn beef hash, potatoes and toast. The service was good. My waitress was Sherrie. Im in a wheelchair and the ramp for me was very helpful. I drove from Bayside Queens, I told that to the owner and he gave me a black/white cookie. It was so sweet of him. Im definitely coming back again. Its a win win diner. A great place to eat great food!!!!! ​ read more

I go here from time to time. And the food used to be better than it is now I ordered a spinach and feta omelette. They make it with two eggs where the other diners use three. It was very dry & thin. it had three little pieces of feta in it, The potatoes were good however there was like 3 tbls. so they cut down on the amount of potatoes they give you. Also when the bill came everything was itemized for the omelette . I ordered a short stack of French toast with white bread that cost me $7.50 for two slices of thin white bread. Prices are way up will not be visiting again. read more

Quick and friendly service. Coffee was good and food was good. (We got breakfast). Clean bathrooms.

Pot roast with gravy and mashed potatoes + veggies under 20 bucks. Refreshing egg salad sandwich with lettuce and tomato on a hard roll under 10 bucks. Everything was tasty. Service was good. No complaints. Typical diner atmosphere. Would go back. read more

Great experience all around! The food was delicious and came out quickly, which was a nice surprise. Everything we ordered was spot on.

Our go-to diner in the area! Attentive and friendliest staff, food is always cooked to order and delicious! We love meeting here for casual meals, snd there's even a very nice room for bigger parties. Home away from home for us. read more

Gave it a try a few days ago only because it's under new management. Stopped eating here over a decade ago because of the bad service and just okay food. Typical diner feel with some cool pictures of Danbury back in the day. Service was better with very friendly staff. Nutella french toast, chicken n waffles, and an Oklahoma burger. Food was okay, my kids liked their meals and said they want to try other things. My burger was suppose to come on a potato bun but instead came on stale white bread (otherwise it would've been a homerun). Will give it another shot for some breakfast food. read more

We hesitated to go here because of the mediocre reviews. But it turned out to be excellent! Best cheeseburger club I've had in ages. Not those thin food service frozen burgers but a fresh patty. Gluten free bread was nicely toasted (harder to toast - takes extra effort.). Tuna sandwich very generous and nice balance of LTO. Crinkle cut fries were not at all greasy. Side salad also very fresh, well prepared and generous portion. Will definitely go again. The restaurant was very clean and the service was kind and attentive. It's an older diner but in good condition. Don't hesitate. read more

Bright and well lit. The women serving us were very nice and helpful. Breakfast was great--eggs were perfect, sausage was tasty and the citrus salad instead of hash browns was a great substitute. My wife had a veggie omelette that she said was great. Prices were in line with to reasonable compared to other places where we have eaten. Definitely recommend and will return there again. read more

Incredibly rude staff, dirty and mediocre food. It's sad to see how badly this business has crumbled under its current management.

This used to be my favorite diner in Danbury. Now, it's my only diner in Danbury. Great food, great prices, great and friendly service. No disappointments! read more

Excellent service, and food was delicious. Also, a very clean restaurant. We would look for this restaurant again when we're in the neighborhood. read more

I was worried when I saw the 3 star average rating on Yelp but was pleasantly surprised when we got our cheeseburger platters. Although the fries and onion rings were of the frozen variety there was large servings and the waitress was very nice. I would stop by again. read more

Great breakfast, fast and attentive service--very accommodating. Will be back next time we're in Danbury.

This is my favorite local diner for breakfast. Food is well prepared, consistently good, and not greasy or overcooked. Their Country Benny is one of my favorites. read more

I am from California, and I was recommended to try this restaurant. It is absolutely excellent. Try the pumpkin spice pancakes.

This is a great spot for reasonably priced comfort food. We've been here a couple of times and the staff is always so friendly and the service is quick. The food is tasty and portions are very generous. We could seriously split a sandwich and be full...not that we do, but we could! Their burgers are very good, full of flavor and very juicy. Whatever special cake or pie they have, get that if you want some sweets, you can't go wrong. Great place! read more

Ordered online and when I picked up the order was incorrect. I made 2 trips back into the restaurant to have them correct the order. The manager, a weasel of man, acted irrationally. Followed me to my car and was screaming ridiculously. Very unsettling to say the least. Never got the order. Had to go online and get a refund. read more

Please answer your phone. Don't put me through to a robot and then never answer the call.

How could a "plain vanilla" diner rate a 5 star review from VERY serious food folks?! EASY! When the staff is accommodating, at least one of the owners has formal culinary education and the product on the plate is exactly as requested read more

We were in the area for breakfast on a weekend morning, so we decided to stop in at Mill Plain since it was the closest diner to where we were coming from. We were seated quickly, and the staff got our food out to us quickly. I had the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs, which wasn't bad, and my fiancé ordered the short rib hash and eggs, which we both agreed was just average as well. The short rib didn't have much flavor at all, and some of our breakfast potatoes were a bit crunchy, alluding to how they should've been cooked a little longer. The diner itself had a cute, classic feel to it which is why it drew us in too. I don't see ourselves coming back unfortunately with there being so many other options in the area. read more

Mill Plain Diner - Short Rib Hash and Eggs - New American Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

This is a local diner, with a great menu selection. Their dessert displays looked phenomenal! The first thing you see, walking in, grabbing your attention were those muffins. Almost like they came out of the wax museum, ha! The menu selections were very diverse.. it had the usual comfort foods and then some. The food results came out very solid. Table service was very nice. The entire place is very tidy. In addition, it was such a large place, seating was ample, but it was still over 50% filled up for a non-lunch, non-dinner odd hour. This goes to show that the establishment has a very good customer base. The main attraction for this review is the customer service, that went above and beyond. The lady who took our payment ran out to the parking lot to try to catch us, because I left an item. We were literally pulling out of the driveway spot, and the lady told us we were going the wrong direction. Yikes! Please support your local businesses! read more

Wow. Where to begin? Went in for brunch on a weekday with hubby. I ordered their "homemade" corned beef hash and eggs, hubby had corned beef sandwich. HORRIBLE on both. I tasted his beef, and it tasted BAD, as in old. My hash was closer to dog food (no, really, it was) than CBH. I mean, I use Mary Kitchen CBH at home and it's LOADS better in quality out of a can. I asked for grilled tomatoes in place of any starch, and got sliced tomatoes barely warm. My husband's fries were the usual frozen, garden-variety, and not cooked long enough; not even hot, really. Did this short-order cook have an appointment to go to? He certainly seemed to not have enough time to cook...it *did* come out super fast, actually. Well, *we* had an appt to go to. So we ate...hubby wouldn't believe me on the sandwich, but he took half home, then I threw it out before he could find it, lol. I told the hostess/manager how bad things were as we paid, and she was VERY nice, comped more than half my meal and said she'd speak to the cook. But, um...not going back anytime soon. Too bad, because the service, meaning the waitress, was excellent. She deserves 5 stars just for working there. I do NOT recommend this place, which is a shame, because it used to be dependably good. read more

Well first time coming here to this diner. Wasn't bad and my turkey bacon blt was slapping. It gave what it was giving. read more

I got the bolognese. My Italian heart was INSULTED. I had never had anything so horrible. It was chunks of ground meat and chunks of pork in a red "sauce" (more of straight tomato paste). It was disgusting. I should hope their more diner-like foods are better but I can only attest to what I ate, which made me want to throw up. The interior was redecorated somewhat recently I think, and it's a lot better than before. The waitress was very friendly. read more

A great classic with great food and service. The whole family was able to enjoy their meal.

I was in the area for a few days and stopped by here twice. Both times we got great service and good food. Nothing extraordinary, just good, solid diner food at a reasonable price with quick service. Everyone that was with me had no complaints. Breakfast is pretty hard to screw up, so I can't speak to the other menu choices. The pancakes were good and filled the plate. The omelet I ordered was large enough to fill me up. Server was nice and kept our drinks full. One person in the group got a breakfast bowl and it was huge. If you are extra hungry get one with an extra egg. read more

I really don't know where to start. I only been there twice and always get a really amazing tasty food. My favourite one is buttermilk chicken sandwich. it is so delicious tender and very juicy. Their serving size is so giant and very plenty enough food always serves. My other half and I tried Lemon cake. sometimes Lemon flavour might be not real but theri desert made by ral lemon and was sooo delicious. can't wait to try their other dishes . I highly recommended Mill Plain Diner 5 STARS read more

We went to The Mill Plain Diner in Memorial Day for breakfast and it was super busy. We only waited about 5 minutes and then we were seated. The waitress was at our table in less than 5 minutes. We ordered and waited about maybe 15 minutes (which is very quick when it's so busy) and we got our breakfast. I ordered steak and eggs, steak medium rare eggs over easy, homefries well done with rye toast. They got everything right except my steak (which came well done) but it was not bad at all. The waitress offered to make me another steak but it was fine. When I went to the counter the owner asked how everything was and I told him about my steak and he took my breakfast off the bill. I really wanted to pay as I did eat the steak he wouldn't let me, so to say the food and service was exceptional is not enough. Way to go Mill Plain, I'll be back many, many more times. 5 stars all the way! read more

We were around the corner and decided to stop here. We had heard good things. The diner is acute place and has a good and cute vibe inside. As soon as we arrived we were seated. They were busy but not lunch crowded which for lunchtime on a Saturday I'm not sure if that was a good thing. My husband just wanted a snack so he ordered a grilled cheese and a side of fries, I ordered falafel with GF bread and hot cocoa with no whip cream. My hot cocoa came with white cream had to send it back. Fine, no issues. Our waitress was super friendly. However when our bill came we were astounded everything was billed separately. The grill cheese was one price, fries another, my falafel one price the bread another even though the bread was originally part of the meal and normally GF bread is an extra $2 anywhere we go they tried charging me $6 for 2 slices of GF toast. We took the bill to the front and dealt with it there they got snotty with us. We said forget it paid it and said never coming back again. Absurd! read more
