Large spot with lots of tables and plenty of folks working. Prices for some basic youngster friendly items have gotten too high. Spaghetti and meatballs 21.99 ? I know costs for labor are increasing but you can't buy a teenager spaghetti and meatballs without a salad or soup ? I really like this spot but it's unfortunately become too expensive for basic low cost items. I think you need to reevaluate your pricing and flexibility for teens who don't necessarily want the soup or salad etc. read more

I just went into this diner to place an outgoing lunch order and was met first by a rude waiter telling me to go to the front to place an order. Once I got to the front, an extremely rude man looked at me with the most ridiculous face and said in a rather gruff voice "you have to WAIT". He repeated himself to me as if I couldn't hear his loud and obnoxious command at first. My son then said to me, "well that was rather rude, let's go. They don't deserve your business!" And we did just that. I will never go to this place again. Very rude employees. read more

Always enjoy eating in. Ordered Breakfast for pickup for the 1st time. I'm was ready upon arrival. Very generous portions. Scrambled eggs and egg white omelet were perfect. Several fresh thick slices of tomato were substituted for hash browns- delicious. Hard to know if the potatoes and toast were prepared crispy and got a bit soggy on the way home or if neither had been cooked/toasted enough? Easy enough to pop the toast back in (since I'd ordered mine dry). Will definitely order for pick-up again. read more

This place is more than fine, and the food is a treat. Three of us at lunch was 45.4. I had coffee, a lox and onions omelet; the GF had a Cobb Salad, and Mom, gyro on pita; and a side of fries for the table. The avocado on the Cobb was excellent, the fries were served hot and crispy, and the omelet was very good, without cooking the lox, and getting the onions soft. The rye toast is especially good. BONUS big booze menu read more

Amazing food and service I don't know why this needs to be 85 characters but whatever Orem's has great food have been going there for a long time and I love it hope there's another 100 years read more

Great clean fast and friendly diner. All good was fast fresh and very good! We will definitely be back here. read more

Good experience . The food was well prepared and the staff was attentive on our first visit here. We'll be back.

No stars! Just had the grossest breakfast ever. Ordered some pancakes and corned beef hash and just as I was getting ready to eat the hash, moved the plate closer and there was hair stuck to the plate. Needless to say, we lost our appetites and we are never going back. We pointed it out the server and all we heard was "ohh..." and I told her to not put it on the bill. She told the owner and he didn't even apologize. Very disappointing! TL;DR: Only eat here if you like your food to come with a garnish of pubic hair. read more

Orem's Diner - Hair!!! Gross - Diners Near Me - Wilton, Connecticut

The better diner! So many yummy choices: tuna melt, spinach egg white omelet, crunchy home fries, coconut cream pie, fresh roasted turkey w mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce & velvety gravy, chicken soup, Greek salad. Long waits sometimes- gets packed. Always a solid choice. Prompt service. Clean & bright w lots of windows fairly new decor. Large private lot. read more

Best diner food in the area. The atmosphere is bright and clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. Most importantly though - the food is so good! Pros: Eggs Benedict is out of this world delicious! Hands-down one of the best I have ever had. The ham is thick and well cooked and the hollandaise sauce has a very unique yet still traditional flavor. The pancakes are fluffy and perfectly sweet/salty. And when you add the pure maple syrup on top of the pancakes, you are in for a mind-blowing delicious experience. The coffee was fresh, hot and flavorful. Cons: None! Truly a great one of a kind diner. Tips: the later you arrive the longer the wait! I suggest getting there before 10am for breakfast if you want to avoid the crazy line. read more

Orem's used to be our go-to diner. The past few times we have gone, the consistency of the food was not great and the service was pretty bad - we seem to always get this one crabby older woman. Tonight, my husband, son and his friend were ordering and my son, who has social anxiety and has FINALLY started ordering for himself was chastised by the server who said to him "why are you afraid to speak?" All I can say is she is lucky I wasn't there because I would have called her out for her rude, insensitive, and obnoxious comment. How dare you, lady! Bye, Orem's, we are done with you. read more

The worst diner, service, and food I've ever been too in MY LIFE! I'm seated in a lightly busy establishment, waited a moment to be waited on. Young, very inexperienced wait staff took my order. I waited 25 minutes for a sandwich and fries! I expressed my concern to the manager. I then received my food. Warm to cool temp. Ugh. I asked for dessert. Got that and ate some. Went to the restroom and when I came back out my entire table was cleared!! WTF!!!! Good thing I took my belongings!! I came back and complained. read more

The waiting staff is good but that's where it stops. The guy behind the cashier should be removed. Obnoxious, rude and I do not care if he's a family member, if that's the case. Horrible guy!!! I will not go there again and will tell my friends as well. The food was overpriced and cold. The soup wasn't fresh and fur a cream soup very loose and watery. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich in a roll and side order of fries. They brought it out with 8 eight fries that were obviously sitting and cold and stale! The sandwich consisted of one small grilled chicken the size of my palm and cold cut thin!!! My friend and I looked at each other. Then she had a turkey club sandwich in a wrap and the bacon as horrible, which she left with sweet potato fries on her were super thin and in the burnt side. Between the food and who I believe is the manager, looks and acts as if he out of a nut house this was certainly not a relaxed and enjoyable experience. They should remove this guy. Didn't even ask anyone that was paying him how was your meal nor did he say thank you after we paid. Took card in an s as angry fashion and was rude giving it back. He should be removed!!! He obviously has anger issues. We were discussing with several customers outside the diner. He's the one that's not clean shaving and stares in your face as if he's going to fight with you. Very scary experience!!! Fire him and the cook and get this place under control. I do not care if you've been I wilton for years. People work hard for their money and they can eat somewhere else!! Do not patronize this place. They do not deserve your business. Respect your money and your time. Food sucks and certainly management does as well putting this person in the front. Do not encourage this establishment to exist! I've been in wilton for over 25 years and this shouldn't happen. The older man that used to be there at the door was extremely well qualified. I do not care if they're all related. Take this relative out. As for the responses from management apologizing and they strive to please No you don't as this issues continues to happen and you address none of these complaints! Wake up folks and stop spending your money at places that do not deserve your hard earned money! read more

Ok so we're dying of hunger and this is the first time we're trying this place. Took a while to get here, as I was constantly reminded by a ravished 14 year old boy! Ordered fruit, cantaloupe and fruit salad. Uh oh not good! Fruit salad small with only one small piece of pineapple. Cantaloupe not ripe enough and inedible Tastes like ass (not my comment) Coffee comes robusta beans. Not good cheap blend! Gee not a good way to start Someone in our party points out that another table is being served and they came 10 minutes after us!!! WTF!? Breakfast comes. Eggs aren't done the way they were ordered. Have to be sent back Twice!!! Finally the woman waitress came to the rescue and brought the eggs back more cooked! Unreal. Plus we had to get up to get our own sugar and syrup The pancakes, in all fairness were very good. The French toast was fine but nothing to gloat about. The best part was the waitress who was so nice and personable Sorry guys but you give the Greek diner a bad name read more

Orem's diner is our go to place for casual dining ....Great food and the service was fantastic ....heather our server was amazing !!!

Orem's Diner - Diners Near Me - Wilton, Connecticut

A staple in town, solid diner with friendly staff! Awesome Greek options with lots of cuisines from all over (Tex-Mex, Italian, American...) Healthy burger is incredibly good with the lemon potatoes. read more

Staff is tired and uninterested. Which I understand. The food is alright. A busboy was extremely depressing and had the energy of Eore from Winnie the Pooh. A waitress was lathered in perfume which carried over to my mouth whenever I took a bite of food, the orange juice is store bought but listed as "fresh squeezed." I won't come here again unless I'm at Gun point. But overall... it's a diner. You get what you get. read more

Your classic diner, nice location, extensive menu. So many great options to choose from & nice staff. Only downfall is prices are bit inflated for a diner... read more

I visited for a work meeting and had a good experience here. I was greeted with friendly service on a Wednesday morning and our party of 3 was seated right away. I went with an egg white spinach omelette with mozzarella cheese. The order came with home fries and toast as well. For the money, you receive a very generous portion. I was really pleased with the freshness of the ingredients and the flavors as well. My party mentioned this diner is a favorite in Wilton, CT and I can see why. It is quite charming! read more

Typical diner. Plenty of free parking. Clean and neat. Our server was friendly and attentive. Good, but not great food. I had a bowl of lentil soup. It was OK, but, frankly, I've had better lentil soup from a Campbell's Soup can. My wife had chicken soup. She says it was good, but not great. My brother had a chicken salad sandwich, which, he said, was OK but not memorable. And my sister-in-law had a BLT sandwich, also not memorable, and two thirds of a chocolate milk shake. She assured me that it was very good. I've eaten at lots of diners. Usually, they take pains to serve food that you would normally expect to eat at a gourmet restaurant. This diner doesn't seem to have made an effort to exceed the expectations of their customers. They ended up serving us meals that didn't even meet my expectations. read more

You're a classic Orems. My son loves your pancakes, my husband you blintz. I prefer the eggs, bacon and toast classic (add coleslaw). So good it should come standard! You're always open and always friendly! Love it. Love read more

Yummy diner specializing in classic favorites and Greek delights. Excellent and quick service too. Stop by and see for yourself!

Our family loves Orems! We love all the staff but Barbara makes us feel at home. We share stories with each other and have developed a personal friendship out of going to orems! The food is always spot on. The staff is warm and friendly. read more

Worth the wait! I had breakfast, my son had lunch, my daughter had the most chocolatey pancakes ever! Our go-to place for sure.

Best diner in Fairfield County. Food is fresh, cooked-to-order, and always tasty. Waitstaff is incredibly friendly. Same wait staff has been there for years which tells you something. Place is always packed for breakfast and lunch. The locals love this place! I don't understand why this place only has 3 stars!! Seems like previous reviewer have unrealistic expectations for a diner at this price point! Orem's exceeds all of my expectation. read more

Orem's is the Quintessential Diner - Good Food, Reasonable Prices, Huge Menu, Breakfast 24/7, Lots of Chrome and Almost 100 years old. Perfect. On this visit I had a Chicken Parmesan Grinder which was good. Next time I might have Souvlaki or an Omelette or who knows. It's all good. If you love diners like I do, you have to try Orem's. read more

This place has gone downhill. I've eaten here over 4 times now and each time is awful. The fried chicken has no chicken just bones , one of my fries looked like it was eaten... and the salad was stale. read more

We ordered a variety of omelette on New Year's Day and the restaurant is quite full. We had a good time.

When you list your diner "favorites" on your menu, they ought to be your solid go-to dishes. Your can't misses, if you will. So, on a big diner menu, I ordered the tuna melt. What could be bad? Well, for starters, the "grilled cheese" was barely melted. And the tuna was cold with the bread barely toasted. Which would even be ok if the tuna was good. But instead it was just kind of bland. The fries didn't rescue this dish, though they weren't bad. But, as the saying goes, I've experienced better. My dining companion had eggs and bacon. That looked better, so I guess lesson learned is to go for breakfast and skip the lunch. Or just skip this place. You're not missing much. read more

Unfortunately the food was kind of forgettable. Overpriced for not a typical amount of "diner food". Got corned beef hash with 1 egg, and it was $10. Corned beef wasn't cooked all the way through. Boyfriend got chocolate chip pancakes and said it was great! He also got scrambled eggs on the side and he thought the eggs went bad or over cooked. Got a side of bacon for $4 and only got 4.5 strips. Burned coffee. Service was great, however! Our server was attentive and nice. read more

I had such a great meal this morning. The restaurant was crowded considering it was Sunday right in the middle of brunch service. I sat at the counter and Patty waited on me. She was engaging and made my meal, by myself so enjoyable. Kudos to Patty. Tip: sit at the counter if it's busy, the service is excellent there as well as comfortable read more

This place is bright airy and welcoming and has was busy the day we stopped for lunch. The food was excellent. Fresh, nicely prepared diner staples plus a range of Greek favorites. Everything was good, but the stand out was the homemade cheesecake. Will definitely go back when we next do the Boston to New York drive. read more

They have a wonderful selection of omelettes. I throughly enjoyed the creamed spinach and the home fries were very tasty. I like how they served the toasted breads for our table family style. It was a crazy busy Sunday morning, and our service was very attentive. read more

So glad to happen upon here. This place is great. It's always packed, small wait but so worth it. Service was nice, friendly and fast. Food was great! Bravo. Will definitely become a regular. read more

Growing up, Orem's (the old little one) was the diner closest to home - so I went there a lot and always thought it was a fun cool little down-home honest to goodness diner. I was bummed when it closed and the new bigger improved Orem's opened and initially was hesitant to check it out .. finally I did and was very impressed. The new Orem's is BIG with lots of parking, and the menu seems to have grown tremendously. The restaurant always seems to be packed, and they always manage to get you seated pretty quick and you get your food surprisingly fast most times. The last few visits to Orem's I have found a few things I have really liked - starting with the vegetarian appetizer combo - a great platter of hummus, tzatziki, pita and kalmata olives. For my main course i usually keep it simple and diner-ish, a chocolate milk shake, grilled cheese sandwich and french fries. the crew here does all that just right. good diner, worth stopping if you are headed up route seven .. read more

Yesterday we met some of our family to have lunch at Orem's Diner. We were 6 of us including 2 children. We were all sat down around 12 noon & we realized the waiter was starting to rush us a bit halfway through the meal. At 1pm without asking gave us our bill & then said can we leave since they needed the table this was despite the fact that the baby was still eating. We complied & left. We thought about this experience this morning & realized just how rude it was... we will not be back at Orem's. read more

I'm delighted to see that Orem's is back to being the warm friendly place it's always been. The staff is friendly and efficient and the food is very tasty, plentiful and fairly priced. Welcome back Orem's - we're happy to see that you survived the pandemic and are now back to serving all of us and doing so very well! read more

food came out cold, bacon was all fat. butter wouldn't even melt on my English muffin. owner & waiter actually argued at our table. service was non-existent and the waiter tried to say it was his fault-yet he left our food up until it got cold. lousy experience, find somewhere else to eat. read more
