1.) CHRIS NOTH EATS HERE. 2.) Best apple pie I've ever consumed in a restaurant. No lie. No exaggeration. THE. BEST. ...now, I shall continue on and hit these points later on in my review. Long gone are the days of the old Millerton Diner, a place where, after my Junior Prom in April of 2001, ten of my friends and I wearily yet excitedly consumed sub-par greasy pieces of French Toast and sausage. Long gone are the days of the old Millerton Diner, where even a year ago, my parents and I decided to have a quaint lunch that turned into a sub-par meal of inadequate chicken wraps. Now is the era of the Oakhurst Diner, and I happily welcome it. Owned by a member of the Harney (as in the creators of the world's best tea) family (...always a good thing!), they are still working out a few of the kinks...despite the fact that they are not serving breakfasts yet at this diner, only lunch and dinner, they still have a breakfast menu printed on one side of their menus, for when they ARE ready. (My friend's husband was a bit disappointed, as he was in the mood for corned beef and hash, alas, life went on.) The menu is currently a bit limited, but absolutely delicious. My friend's husband got the meatloaf with sides of roasted vegetables and red cabbage salad, and my friend and I each got the Oakhurst Burger, which was pretty close to perfect. (This restaurant actually knows how to make "medium-rare" correctly. Kudos!) The french fries are homemade and perfect: just soft enough and crunchy in the right places, with little bits of potato skin still attached. *mmmmmm* The best part? They serve Bruce Cost's unfiltered ginger ale in three different flavors! (Jasmine Tea Ginger Ale is the new love of my life!) The apple pie? Let's talk about the apple pie. Homemade. Homemade. Homemade. Fresh crust. Fresh apples. Delicious spices. Homemade whipped cream so thick that I thought it was a scoop of vanilla ice cream at first. The best part? It pairs SO WELL with the ginger ale! I might just go back to this place to consume these two items exclusively! The prices were good. I don't think any of the side dishes were more than $3, with most being less than $2! All of the sandwiches / burgers were $6.99 with a choice of four sides. All of the entrees ranged from $12.99 to $14.99. The milkshakes were less than $4! (I swear, I can never find a milkshake, short of McDonalds, for less than $5 anywhere nowadays...) This is a fancier twist on your average diner, certainly, but well worth it. This place is perfect for the locals and the visitors of this fine area. (And I consider myself to be both, of course!) Oh, yes, and CHRIS NOTH WAS THERE. Yes, Mr. Big himself. So handsome. I didn't see what he was eating, as he was two booths behind me, but this is obviously a classy man with impeccable taste. *mhmmmmmm* read more

I love a good diner and Oakhurst is more than good! Nice staff. A good variety of menu items and an awesome burger! Highly recommend.

Classic old-style diner with the expected burgers etc on menu, but not at all a greasy spoon. There were also miso soup and spring rolls, which was a happy surprise. Reminded me of my mom's cooking back home in Japan. RAWRrrrrrrR! read more

Oakhurst Diner - The polar bears wanted my spring rolls but I ate them all RAWRRR! - Diners Near Me - Millerton, New York

Food isn't great, couldn't even finish the fries. service was ok, forgot my drink. Burger was very below average. Wouldn't go there again and definitely wouldn't recommend. Also booth seats don't comfortably accommodate 5'3" and above. overall wasn't a great experience. read more

UPDATE! BREAKFAST UPDATE! Thought I would chime in on breakfast at Oakhurst, and yes, its damn good too! Nice variety in the offerings (as well as flexibility to really order anything for breakfast), good coffee and fresh-squeezed orange juice make it, yes...dare I say it....the best breakfast in town...YES! And if you don't get their potato side dish (a modified potato pancake) with breakfast, you are missing out! Enjoy! AND FROM BEFORE... Finally! And they are getting it right! As Millerton continues its renaissance, Oakhurst Diner is a welcome addition to its food scene. Beautifully remodeled and updated, the diner (which used to be an eyesore (anyone remember "Coach Ali's?")) is now a true food destination for the town. Okay - it's not a "diner" per se, since the menu is a bit limited and is mostly locally sourced and seasonal, but doesn't disappoint. Oakhurst takes at times a tongue-in-cheek approach to its menu. Yes, that's a corndog under your egg. And it's great. One Oakhurst staple that should not be missed is their burger. Dare I say the best in town - YES. Dare I say the best in the area - YES. The county - YES. It's simply right in every way. As Oakhurst gets into the rhythm of the summer, its service continues to improve and the kitchen is more secure in its footing - the Oakhurst is sure to become the culinary beacon of town. Congrats and thanks to Claire and team Harney. read more

THE BEST. A Millerton staple. Right in the center of town. The bahn mi pork sandwich and the double headed cheesey style burger are fantastic. Service is even better. Staff is young, polite, friendly, hip and FAST even when they are slammed. Local everything, local beer, beef, ice cream and milk. read more

A chef from Nepal?? Come on, I dont care about that at a diner! I just want a burger and fries and eggs if i want! thats it! well, not in Millerton- a farmy town turned artsy yuppie in the past 25 years to the chagrin of locals, "but at least they bring business' True, but a $13 burger!? at least its from the local farms. So keep the locals happy, and make some good food for the rich weekenders- seems fair enough... but what about the poor almost locals goin for a HIKE and wanting a burger! AHHH!! actually its nothing to get upset about, the burger is OK and the price isnt too bad. They also feature daily specials and robust dinner offerrings. so THERE! read more

One lovely addition to downtown Millerton.The old Millerton diner feels lovingly restored but updated and funky. The food was evolved american diner fare. Familiar comfort items with a twist. Looking forward to trying breakfast... read more

This place may be in a building that is diner style but I would not call it diner food. I grew up eating the crap that used to come out of this place and what the new owners did with it is amazing. The seating is a little cramped and service wasn't bad but... just OKAY I guess...but thats pretty much all I can say that was negative about it. Food taste and presentation gets a total A+. Everything tasted fresh and they get their beef, and possibly other food from local farms. read more

Awesome way to start the day! Great views, shade service and food! Very accommodating to a change and sweet as pie service. Will def be back! read more

If a diner could afford the commercial lease in Williamsburg, it would look like the Oakhurst Diner. Plenty of parking and across the street from the Harlem Valley Rail Trail makes it the perfect spot to have lunch. Think of really good dinner food with vietnamese twist. Banh mi , pho, and kim chi reside on the menu along with omelettes, hamburgers and assorted sandwiches. Sriracha sauce sits next the ketchup on your table. The wait staff friendly. So order a craft beer with your meal and finish it off with a soft serve vanilla/chocolate twist cone for $2. read more

We've eaten breakfast here several times. Breakfast has always been good - not great but good. The staff - warm and friendly. Our waitress made us Bloody Mary's this time around. They were wonderful. I'll be back. read more

We stopped here for lunch. Terrific menu with fresh local food. Had the Banh Mi and the grilled chicken sandwiches. Both were excellent. Business doing well through pandemic and operating with plenty of tables outside. read more

We arrived expecting a traditional diner. From the outside it looked charming and cute and straight out of the movies. Inside, they had a traditional diner look with a metal counter/barstools and a few booths. Once we looked at the menu we realized we were in some gourmet diner. We loved the nitro iced tea - it was creamy and decadent and not just a plain iced tea. I loved my pinto beans with bacon, asparagus, Parmesan, kale chips and sunny side up eggs. It was delicious and I was stuffed. We also had the big daddy - hash browns with sausage and peppers with eggs. So good. The eggs were fresh and delicious. They tasted like they were straight off the farm. And the veggies were tender and well cooked. We loved stopping at this diner and would definitely return. read more

See all

Our go to spot! Great menu! Friendly staff! Generous portions! Love the Avocado Toast! Recommend!

I'm not usually a big fan of diners; something about them being perpetually covered in grease kinda turns me off. But Oakhurst isn't quite like that. This is my first time visiting Millerton and after biking down the Harlem Valley Rail Trail this diner hits the spot. I chose the Bahn Mi. with a side of kimchi because you have to keep with the theme. Not only was the sammich everything I hoped it would be and more, there was a lightness, an airyness to it that I haven't experienced with other similar Bahn Mi sandwiches. The staff seems friendly and the music is pleasantly reminiscent of 106.7 lite fm; oldies but goodies. all in all, I'd come back. read more

Decent food - salads and breakfasts Scrambled eggs are sadly overdone But the two stars is because they do not advertise they they charge EXTRA if you get more than one tiny thing of salad dressing! Makes no sense - when you spend $13.99 for a Cobb salad at a diner, why would the dressing be so tiny and then charge extra for another? It's not on the menu, and our waitress (who was very nice but management did not train her well) didn't know this until after we were charged. You'd think a place like this would be smarter than that. read more

A friendly diner with a great breakfast and lunch selection. I seem to always get one of their fantastic and thick milkshakes with my delicious chicken sandwich. I would recommend this joint to weekenders passing through Millerton as well as any local. read more

We like this spot. Great meatloaf sandwiches. Tasty twisty cones & friendly folks working here.

For a diner this is an Outstanding restaurant of the first order. First; they get eggs right. Second; they get hash browns right. Third; they get chili right. Fourth; they get Pho right... Get it folks, this place rocks! read more

This place was such a perfect find. Having a leisurely drive to New England from DC by way of the Hudson River valley and Berkshires instead of faster, uglier routes. Millerton is where we landed for lunch and Oakhurst Diner did not disappoint. We sat at the counter; service was fast, warm and friendly. Family shared a bunch of food: custom BLT, cheeseburger, bangers and eggs, venison chili cheese fries and a pork sandwich with kimchee. That last was just okay; not bad, but not as tasty as everything else. True about the apple pie... It was ridiculously good. So was my daughter's strawberry ice cream. Tasted homemade. Goodness, no wonder we are feeling so full and hungry for the last leg of the drive! We seriously over-ate. No regrets-- the place is a great stop in a scenic, inviting little town. If we had more time to linger I'd shop in the pretty stores and walk off lunch on the rail trail that starts just steps away from the Oakhurst. read more

I've been going to the Oakhurst for nearly 4 years. In that time I've seen the Oakhurst decline. When I was new to the area it was delightful, good food. There were great items on the menu discontinued over the years. Service got poorer & poorer with a very high turnover of the waitstaff. I started to notice stuff that would earn you a "C" in NYC and stopped going entirely. Dirty. Subpar, overpriced food. I live in the area, there are few options, but I'd rather pay more for a quality meal elsewhere in Millerton. Would be nice if they could turn it around. I'd happily return. read more

Cute diner and the service was good but pricey. Don't order their organic burger! It was the skimpiest burger I ever had at a restaurant and at $17 it was also among the highest priced burger. It wasn't worth $4. The amount of beef on the burger was equivalent to what you'd get on a the dollar menu from McDonald's or Wendy's. My GF got the chili which she enjoyed but was pricey for the amount you got for $10. Also, the cucumber salad was pricey too. We went out of our way to this diner coming back from Vermont and should have gone into Rhinebeck instead. read more

From the outside...a cute diner with a great sign. After you go in, the people greet you and treat you like family. The food is unlike any diner you have ever been to. Kumbucha, Kimchi, Pho, Pork sandwich, Cobb salad. Whatever you are into...they make it. And they make it well. Thanks everyone! read more

Avoid at all costs. What started off as the clever rebirth of a Millerton classic with farm fresh foods has quickly devolved into an abysmal scam. At 14.99, the meatloaf dinner arrived cold with an end piece the size of a Jimmy Dean sausage. "That's the portion now," said the teeny bop server. Sad. read more

the oakhurst was a bitter disappointment - a diner masquerading as a trendy lunch joint to justify inordinately high prices. it'd be one thing if the food was good...my $13.99 "oakhurst burger" arrived at the table shriveled and accompanied by a run-of-the-mill bun, a skimpy helping of fries, and a pickle that looked as if it had been partially eaten...yikes! all of this after waiting close to 45 minutes for a table (and 45 mins for the food to come!). i will not be revisiting the oakhurst any time soon. read more

If you enjoy paying New York City prices for portion sizes that are nothing to write home about, then this is your place. On top of that, service was slow, despite sitting at the bar, a small crowd, and the small portion size. read more

Double normal diner prices for half the quality. I was hoping that since the menu had pretty few options for a diner, the food would be better quality, but not quite. I wasn't impressed with my BLT or tater tots and my milkshake was passable. Nothing close to being worth the prices listed. I was pretty disappointed, especially since I was REALLY hungry. read more

I've tried Oakhurst twice now and both times I've been very disappointed. The first time was for dinner and the roasted chicken was raw. I mean, really.... raw? That's a Restaurant 101 no no. The second time I went was for lunch. I am not exaggerating when I say that it took the staff 30 minutes to take our order (with 2 very hungry kids) and then it took another hour to get our food WHICH WAS INCOMPLETE. I personally waited another 10 minutes to get the SALAD I had ordered and they finally brought us the fries we ordered 15 mins. after we were done with lunch. (The fries that we did get were cold.) If this were a large place or even if it was excessively busy, I might not give Oakhurst such a bad rating. But the staff was actually filling napkin dispensers and putting drinks away in the refrigerator... read more

Congratulations to the Oakhurst Diner for serving food that is SUPER DELICIOUS AND SUPER FRESH!!!! I recommend the Tuna Salad, so fresh and the Nicoise Salad too. The fries are cut fresh daily and super yummy too. Best of all, was the milk shakes making this Diner super original, the desserts are out of this world and made fresh daily. The menu is great too without all the normal greasy foods you would expect to find at other diners. Great menu and the service is very attentive and friendly. Super charming town and the Diner just makes the Village complete. read more

Love coming here with my daughter. Had the kale and garlicky goat cheese sandwich--awesome. My daughter loves the meatloaf sandwich. Most of the poor reviews here complain about things that weren't even on the menu--just because it's called a diner doesn't mean they will have the usual fare. I, for one, appreciate it! read more

Went here after a movie with one of my friends and we got dinner and milkshakes. This place has a great old school feel to it and both my ravioli and milkshake were super good. The staff is very friendly and this place has a heart, during this pandemic they have offered free food to families in need. I have nothing but respect for this place, definitely go here!! read more

Big time prices! Small portions. Not really "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" material. A "Diner" wouldn't be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. :) read more

The Oakhurst needs a kick in the ass, so I am trying to contribute to that cause. So much potential-- Someone's heart, or at least part of their heart, is in the right place: eclectic and irreverent offerings, great kim-chi followed by a milkshake, grass-fed local burger and a pbr on a sunday evening before moviehouse. all good things. Such abysmal, egregious execution-- *always* out of at least 3 things on the menu, spacy, inattentive, airheaded waitstaff (last time we were there our food sat waiting while the lone waitress took a to-go order on the phone FROM HER CO-WORKER, complete with workplace gossip). We've been 5 or 6 times and keep wanting to say "they're just ironing out the kinks" but then we inevitably realize they've been open for almost 2 years. The worst part is no one working there even seems to notice -- on one visit we attempted to order 4 things that they were out of (5pm on a Sunday, no mention until we had already ordered drinks that anything was '86ed'), and there wasn't even the slightest hint that maybe an apology was in order. So why do we keep going back? I dunno. We're insane. I swear, next time it's gonna be better.... read more

Loved every minute of our experience. Finally the kids ate eggs! Pancakes for dinner (off the dinner menu but they made 'em anyway!), amazing veg plates, modern cuisine mixed with classic diner favorites. Love the decor, outdoor seating and the character of the whole place (check out the bathroom doors!). All this plus great service and a great location at Railroad Plaza. Adore. read more

I've been here several times, and the food is very nice. The service, in my experience, is hit-or-miss. Tonight, on the Saturday of July 4 weekend, there were two waitresses at dinner time, sweet as can be but didn't seem very experienced. Our burgers and fries sat in the hatch nearly 10 minutes and thus arrived just above room temperature, which seriously diminished some originally lovely food. The milkshake was no longer excellent, but thin, made in haste by someone who didn't know quite what they were doing. We weren't asked if the food was all right. The wait staff were working hard but seemed overwhelmed (understaffed? inexperienced?). I really want to like this place; it's an important addition to Millerton and has high-quality food, but if they don't improve the service, I'm not sure how long I'll keep returning. I want to feel confident that I'll get a consistent meal, and at the moment it's an anxiety-producing crap shoot. read more

Nice central location-but food is nothing special. Agree with the tasteless patty melt review-and pricey too.

Don't expect typical diner food! This place has unique and wonderful food! My wife and I stopped bye and were surprised at the crowds. We had to try it and loved it. The servers are great. The food is great. THE HOLLANDAISE is REAL, not faux. The Meatloaf is outstanding and so is the KimChee (SP?). If you are adventurous, and you should be, this diner is wonderful! read more

Ew. While I love the fact that they use local beef, I should not hear the microwave buzzing five minutes before I receive my meal, especially since we were the only people in the place! The burger meat was watery (microwave defrosted?) and oxidized brown for a med-rare burger. The fries were wayyy over-seasoned and the pickle was just a salty cucumber. No way I'll be back. read more

Your food really sucks. It tastes like someone took a crap in it. You should know better than serve food like that.
