    Everything needs improvement. Dirty broken down bathroom, ceiling tiles stained and broken with holes. Didn't give menu. Our waiter was very nice and friendly. Food was so so.

    Trying to keep the new year a tradition we went back this year.....and it was closed. So much for a 24/7 diner. Ugh

    Chicken roasted

    My boyfriend and I were hungry late at night and we were sick and tired of fast food. We wanted to try to eat a healthy home cooked meal- and the food available in Nanuet at 10pm is sub par and never that impressive .. we saw Nanuet diner and figured why not? At least it's something to eat. We ordered a roasted chicken with mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes and gravy. We were BLOWN AWAY by Nanuet diner! The roasted chicken came out perfect.. it was flavorful, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Another delicious factor - the vegetables were cooked to perfection & the mashed potatoes and gravy was prepared as a great side dish. It's important to note the presentation - it is comparable to an upscale restaurant, not a town diner. Five stars on the service, the atmosphere and the taste of our fabulous meal. Not sure if there is new management but they definitely are doing something right. Nanuet diner is our new date spot and we look forward to coming back! Food was outstanding and the chef gave us complementary crab cake! of this world and definitely coming back... this diner is a staple of Nanuet and

    Atrocious place that ruined our family get together. By far the worst small town diner I have been too because it actively treated us like garbage. It was after our group saw Elvis at the Palisades that we decided to meet back up here. Some of us haven't seen each other in months so it was a great opportunity to catch up. Immediately when entering the diner there were red flags. The place smelled like mold which was disturbing. As for the waitress she was on her phone and not once acknowledged us except to direct us to our seats. It was quite rude but that level of service didn't stop there. The booth we were assigned was between 2 other already seated booths. Mind you this is a tactic some diners deploy so that they don't have to make long walks from the kitchen. However there were plenty of others places they could of seated us for some better privacy. The place was nearly empty. What's worse the members of our party sitting on the left had to deal with the horrendous odor coming from our leftward neighbors. That with the moldy smell made some of us completely lose our appetites. Only half of us would order anything. After seating we also came to realize there was barely an AC. This was during a 95 in Nanuet and it still felt like a 95 at our booth... though if we were outside at least we could have had a breeze! If this was a good or conscientious diner the staff would of warned us the AC wasn't working properly. But of course not, they were too busy on their phones to speak to us. The only chill we got the entire time in the diner was from our server. He took our orders in such a cold and monotone way I thought he came out of a cheesy comedy movie were he was playing the waiter who hated his job. Maybe he did for all I know. Of course our orders also took a while, maybe 40 minutes, so we had to suffer all of this while waiting. The entire time we were not in the talkative mood with each other and with no privacy we couldn't even complain about the whole thing either. But all of that wasn't even the worse. No no. After we payed the check and were leaving some of us went to the bathroom. We sat in the right wing of the diner while the restrooms were on the left wing.... and I shit you not.... there was working AC in the left wing. Working AC with the vast majority of the tables in the left wing being empty. Working AC were the bar is AND THE STAFF SIT AT. I don't know what to say. This place wasn't just rude but MALICIOUS to its guests. The staff did not give two shits about us the entire time and I think I don't give a shit about this place. If you manage or own this place I think you should be ashamed of yourself. Your staff either need to be retrained, fired or paid better. You just need to do something, because everything was sub standard.

    Stuffed Clams?  I think not

    Went here for the first time on way home. Will be my last time. The picture is their idea of stuffed clams with crabmeat. Did not know clams now look like foil tins with pieces of shrimp in them. The seafood bisque soup should have been my first warning. Fishy slop with no cream base for a bisque but maybe corn starch thickener? The final straw was the bill. My son ordered an early bird special, they brought him a dry piece of cake as part of the deal, and them they tried to charge us as if it wasn't an early bird special. Claimed it was a different dish. Had to argue multiple times especially since other dish they claimed it was did not come with cake as a dessert option. To sum up the food...bordered on gross.

    If you don't read the review: Not worth the try for me…read more Originally had high hopes for this place because they have high reviews and when we first tried to eat here some time ago, the line was out the door. I'm definitely disappointed. Service was bad, (which is crazy considering there was no one in there). 2 servers. Both passed us several times. Regardless, we had to get up and get our own menus because no one came to provide them to us. Finally, someone came to take our drink order and when we said we were ready to order they said we have to wait for someone else to come over. Overall, the restaurant doesn't look clean. Ceiling is falling apart. Bench seats crumbling. Walls are dusty. The tables are uncomfortable because they have thick plastic on them. Not to mention sticky. The food was overpriced in my opinion. 3 stack of pancakes was around $8.95. I ordered chocolate chip pancakes and it was $10.95, which is just not worth it. The meal shown was $30, again not worth it in my opinion. Needless to say we won't be returning.

    My family and I came in for a late lunch and had a great experience. The kids meal was incredibly…read moregenerous, with chicken tenders, fries, and mozzarella sticks all included. My chicken and waffles were excellent, and my wife really enjoyed her omelette. There was plenty of seating and parking nearby, which made things even easier. What really stood out was the staff. My daughter accidentally left her stuffed animal behind, and when I called, they were so kind and helpful in finding it and making sure I could come back to pick it up. That level of care really means a lot. We loved our visit and will definitely be back.
