"I'll go back to the diner I'll write another letter I hope you'll read it this time" (Billie Eilish) I kind of laughed when our server brought over our menus. They were in a heavy book (reminded me of a high school yearbook) with six pages of choices plus an insert of daily specials. Post Road is the kind of diner that diner lovers dream of. Their menu is an embarrassment of riches and would seamlessly fit in alongside anything you would find on the Sunrise Highway on Long Island or on Route 17 in New Jersey. Three of us walked in around 11:30am today, and our first order of business was deciding if we'd go for lunch or breakfast food. We all went for breakfast plates- pancakes ($9.99) with a side of scrambled eggs ($2.99), GF Pancakes ($12.98), and for me a "Protein Breakfast" ($13.99) and a coffee ($3.49). So, I'm sure you're asking, "what on earth is a protein breakfast?' Well, it was four egg whites, a few gorgeous tomato slices, and a nice piece of grilled chicken. It was pretty filling and everything tasted great. Our server was efficient and professional and swiftly brought over a "to go" box for the excess of those enormous pancakes. The dining room is awesome, a real throwback to the 1950's with plenty of old-time booths, art deco neon signs, checkerboard ceramic tile, and music\entertainment\pop culture images everywhere. We really enjoyed our visit ! read more

First of all, I love an old classic diner and Post Road Diner is in great shape and being worked on to make it even better. The diner has comfortable retro feel, but updated appropriately. I ordered Turkey & dressing w/ mashed potatoes and gravy on all of it. My appetizer choice was chicken noodle soup. I had iced tea and water, and finished w/ fantastic pecan pie alamode. My waiter was prompt to greet me, answer questions on the menu, and all the stuff a waiter should do. I really enjoyed my dinner at Post Road Diner. I would give it a 4.5 but not quite a 5. read more

This was our second time brunching with my daughter and her family at the Post road Diner. Much like the prototypical diner, it is done over in stainless steel and brick, they have a counter with stools, many tables & booths, period decor, an expansive menu, and holiday specials. I had their Chicken & Waffles, and my lovely wife had their 4th of July Pancakes - three large hotcakes layered with fresh blueberries & strawberries, topped with whipped cream. Neither one of us could come close to finishing! Everyone, from the hostess to the serving staff went out of their way to make us feel at home. This will be our official go-to brunch place in the Norwalk area. If I had to come up with anything not positive, it's that the parking can be a little tight. That's it. read more

Post Road Diner - Diners Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

I really wanted to love the Post Road Diner -- it has that classic dining car charm with expanded seating and a fun 1950s vibe that instantly sets the scene. The service was prompt and attentive, which I appreciated. My blueberry pancakes were generously portioned and packed with berries -- sweet, fluffy, and satisfying. I ended up sharing the third pancake because they were so filling. That said, there was an extra charge for real Vermont maple syrup, which felt a bit disappointing. My SO tried the homemade cinnamon bread French toast, which sounded amazing on the menu but unfortunately fell flat in flavor. Overall, a mixed experience. While there were some highlights, I'm not sure we'll make a return visit next time we're in NJ. read more

We've been coming here for years. We know the staff and they know us. The food is good. Today, just wasn't the same. I am a firm believer that your animals can stay at home. We are highly allergic to cats and dogs. There is no reason for a patron to bring the non service animal into a restaurant. Furthermore, the business should prohibit this. If we didn't have my elderly Mother with us, we would have left. read more

The food was so bland which unfortunately also describes the disposition of their staff. Everyone loves bacon but this is not the place to get it. What was to be a simple Sunday breakfast left me wondering why I didn't just eat cereal at home. Home fries were dry w no seasoning at all and under cooked potatoes .Staff made no effort to engage and seemed pretty impatient. One of our party asked for green tea was given regular other party asked for decaf and got regular.. There wasn't even a good morning how are you ..next time in the area I'll save myself and eat at the gas station. Ps they weren't busy and there were several servers who had time to sit with other customers and chat..makes me wonder why they couldn't have been a bit more hospitalable considering food wasnt going to wow us.

Everything was really good! We ordered chicken pot pie, corned beef with cabbage, eggs easy over and a Cobb salad. Each dish was well seasoned and came out piping hot. The chicken pie filling had the right proportion of chicken with veggies, and the crust was scrumptious. Tho I wish the crust had a bit more salt. Having said that the crust texture was extraordinary with flakiness and texture. The corned beef with cabbage was accompanied with carrots and potatoes- enough for 2-3 persons. The eggs came with strips of bacon and toast was just perfect. And the Cobb salad was fresh and packed with avocados, eggs, chicken, bacon and blue cheese- it was a sight to behold. Everyone oohed and ahhhed when it was brought to the table. The portion size were humongous as you would expect with an authentic diner. Our server was attentive and very professional- constantly refilling our water and he asked if our entrees were acceptable. On route to or from Boston or NY along the 95- you won't be disappointed if you stopped here for your meal. Really one of the best diners around- trust me- I am pretty picky ! read more

We stopped by this diner on our way home from a wedding. The inside of the diner gives off a retro feel which I enjoyed compared the various diners that are changing their interior to be more "modern". We were seated quickly and our orders were taken promptly as well. Our waitress was extremely friendly and seemed to have a good relationship with some of the locals who frequent the establishment. I ordered the Cannoli French toast with a side order of home fries and my boyfriend got an egg white omelette. The food tasted good and I loved how the home fries were cook. They were flavorful and soft without being too crispy, which is how I prefer my home fries. The cannoli French toast was pretty good as well. I originally thought it was going to be heavy, but I didn't find that to be the case at all. If you're looking for a diner in the area, try this place out! read more

They get your drinks quick and their food fills up everybody in 5 minutes I would suggest to come here with a family.

On 12/5/24 I ordered dinner (including coleslaw for my father which he really likes). The coleslaw was not in the bag. I called to find out if I was charged for it, as the bill was not itemized. This is not the first time that they gave me an incorrect order. I read the order to them, they claim they "got it.", but still give an incorrect order when I pick up. How hard can it be to read an order back? read more

Great diner spot with one of my favorite styles of sandwiches: the Thanksgiving Sandwich. Great retro feel with quick service and good coffee. I ordered the chili and the aforementioned Thanksgiving sandwich and left full and extremely happy. The chili (not pictured) was so full of meat and was surprisingly spicy which I appreciated. The Thanksgiving Sandwich was the star though - the flat bread move was a interested choice but it ended up being the perfect bread. I added some Swiss cheese in order to add a bit of tang and it was the right choice. It was hot and delicious plus not too messy. The staff was even super helpful to a group member who was gluten free. Very much enjoyed my time here and a good spot to know when traveling! read more

While out doing a bit of shopping we got hungry. Not being familiar with the area I decided to look up diners on my GPS this diner was one of two that popped up. When we went in we weren't really expecting much so we decided to just order burgers including my mom which was a surprise because she's not a burger person. All of our burgers were delicious. Me being a coleslaw person that was the first thing I tried and it was really good, I even took some home. I would definitely go here again. read more

Good for diner food. Quick service when we said we were in a time crunch. Very good French dip: I usually get the fatty left over pieces and this one had quality slices. Impressed. Caesar wrap was on point as well. Not too crowded for 7 pm on a Saturday night, either. read more

My experience with Post Road Diner has been mixed. It has been great for breakfast except for the coffee. They need to clean the coffee carafes with a mixture of water and baking soda and rinse every day! The eggs and bacon (I requested crispy) were delicious, especially the bacon). I have been going here for years and have always been happy with the service . P.S. The pancakes are perfect every time. Thank you, PRD! read more

I've somehow never been here, but we were looking for some late night food and we decided that a few of the diners around here are less than great, so we'd give them a try. The staff was super friendly, and the food was great. *Not greasy* -- which is a huge plus in a diner, the portions were just right, nicely balanced flavors, the atmosphere is lovely and nostalgic -- just all-around a pleasant experience, and perfect for a "my stomach is really grumbling after a night out and I need something in it now. I had a delicious omelette, my bf had the standard bacon, eggs, and hash browns, and we enjoyed every bit of it. You just can't go wrong when you want basic diner food, don't want to pay too much, and don't want to feel greasy for days after eating there. Love it! read more

First time, I heard good eats from this diner. I had to try it myself. I was greeted immediately. I review the menu and asked if they had chicken n waffles. Yeah, obviously I didn't notice the sign behind the counter. It clearly says "chicken & waffles". I also ordered a fresh squeezed orange juice. Both were very impressive. I couldn't finish it. But it was fun trying. I enjoyed every bite. Next time I'm in the area I will try some new. read more

Post Road Diner is a wonderful nostalgic dining experience conveniently located on Connecticut Avenue, just off exit 14 near Best Buy. Let's face it, there are many good diners in the area, but this one definitely stands out. From the wonderful and delightful staff to the epically large, high quality menu, there is something here for everyone. The egg dishes are some of the best around, but if you aren't craving breakfast you can't go wrong with any of the other items including diner classics like meatloaf, chicken dishes, and freshly made turkey and roast beef platters. No matter where you live in Fairfield County or if you are just passing through, definitely make a stop and experience this wonderful 50s-style diner. read more

I had to go back and update my Yelp review from four stars down to two stars. We were in the diner for a late breakfast over the holidays. The place was busy but not packed. There were three adults and they put us in a tiny booth that honestly should be a booth for two people - I felt very cramped. Our server was not the friendliest man in the world. He spoke softly and I don't know if it was a combination of his soft voice, the loud diner and his slight accent but I could not understand him. I felt terrible that I had to keep asking him to repeat himself and I think he was annoyed that he had to. The menu at this diner is HUGE and printed in really small font so they can cram all of their menu items on the pages. I always like when restaurants have a good selection and variety of things to eat, but it always makes me wonder how they keep that much inventory on hand (how fresh is this stuff) and also how they can be amazing cooking all of those dishes? Our table ordered the chili omelette, the chicken and waffles and the grilled chicken and rice dish. I have no idea why I ordered that chicken and rice entree. It just sounded good at the time...it came with chicken soup which I did like. The chicken was two chicken breasts pounded so thin and then cooked on the flat top. The rice was just plain white rice and the side was frozen corn in a little cup. The chicken and waffles would have been better if the chicken was not the little frozen chicken tenders but homemade fried chicken. I am told the omelette was good. So one out of the three of us enjoyed our meal. The prices were not cheap either. $43.50 before tip for our three entrees without beverages. Seems a bit steep for a diner. If you are looking for late night food, stop in and give it a try. If you are looking for a good breakfast spot, try out SoNo Harbor Deli and Cafe. read more

UPDATE: Food is good. I always opt for their coconut waffles. My dad likes it here and has the Roast beef . The diner is very nicely decorated in Fifties Memorabilia, lots of pictures of old movies. Very nice. These people also know that when you ask for bacon, you want more then two little slices. That is a plus. I heard one of the customers ask for more as well because of how yummy it was. But two things I did not like. One was nobody here was all that friendly and two (and more important) : the place did not look all that clean. Did not notice that the first time. Maybe I just went on the wrong day. I had no issues with the food itself. I am not a diner person by nature although there are a few that cross over from "diner" into "amazing experience". Sandy Hook Diner is that way. So is Maine Diner which is of coarse in Maine! This is not bad on the taste buds at all. But the bathroom was..not great as far as cleanliness. I think if they would fix that issue they would be great! But it's an issue and that accounts for my low rating. read more
