    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.

    Really good retro style diner! Standard diner fare as well as dishes with a Latino twist! Highly recommend.

    Si buscas una experiencia única que te transporte a la época disco, ¡Post Road Diner es el lugar perfecto! Desde que entras, los asientos, la rocola y la decoración te hacen sentir como si estuvieras en los años 70. Es un verdadero viaje en el tiempo. Ordené un desayuno con gallo pinto y estaba muy rico. La combinación de sabores auténticos y la presentación impecable hicieron que mi comida fuera una delicia. Recomiendo totalmente este lugar, no solo por su excelente comida, sino también por el ambiente nostálgico y divertido. ¡No se lo pierdan! If you're looking for a unique experience that takes you back to the disco era, Post Road Diner is the perfect place! From the moment you step in, the seats, the jukebox, and the décor make you feel like you're in the 70s. It's a true time travel experience. I ordered a breakfast with gallo pinto, and it was delicious. The combination of authentic flavors and impeccable presentation made my meal a delight. I highly recommend this place, not only for its excellent food but also for the nostalgic and fun atmosphere. Don't miss it!

    Amazing spot! Again, did my usual, searched on this amazing app, put what I had a taste for and BAM The staff was great and Hands down, worth every penny. I'm very particular about my bacon and they delivered 102% man, if you knew me I'm SPECIFIC about my bacon. They OVER DELIVERED on my bacon

    Cute small little place. Nothing to crave over but the food was good. Service was good. Didn't blow me away. But I did love the interior and feel of the diner and atmosphere

    Two eggs over easy

    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 !

    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!

    I have always loved going to the PRD since I was young. The food is always very good and it's always served nice and fresh every time. The employees are always there to greet you, and always smiling. We get seated quickly every time. They are very kind and caring. Inside the diner, there is always such a vibrant atmosphere. I would definitely recommend going to the Post Road Diner if you are ever in Norwalk, Connecticut!

    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.

    Brought the nephew here for breakfast before hitting up the Maritime Aquarium during his spring break and really were impressed. Retro décor and outstanding service made this a memorable spot we will Certainly go out of our way to return!

    I personally wouldn't recommend this place or come again. Mostly because of point 3 below…read more 1) The presentation of my smash burger was terrible. The burger came all alone on a metal pan. Normally this is fine. But it was terribly presented lonely on a metal plate. I've had smash burgers before that had way better presentation (see Bar 140 in Shelton, who does this job on point). 2) Drinks. Terrible IPA selection, but at least they put Maine Lunch in a normal pint glass. The biggest issue is my wife ordered a couple Old Fashioned. The first was a "normal" sized glass (see pic) from my experience. She ordered a second drink that came out in a "mini" glass. It was ridiculous. It was the size between a shot glass and a normal Old Fashioned glass. I asked about this, see below. 3) When I asked about the smaller glass size on the second drink, the manager came over and said "the small glass is the normal size, you should be lucky they gave you that larger glass by accident" ummmmmmm hellll noooooooooo. I should feel lucky?????? No sir. The first glass was a NORMAL Old Fashioned sized glass. No way in helllll that second glass was "normal" size. She gets these drinks all the time and they all come in size of the first glass. So don't bullshit me..... The way the manager guy approached this is why i am giving a poor review. There is absolutely no way the second glass was normal size. I just can't accept that. It was a ridiculously small glass. Being put down like I don't know anything is not the way you treat people. You need to approach this type of situation differently.

We just happened to go on Mardi Gras night with a live band! What a great time! The place was so alive and everyone was singing. We stood by the bar and listened to the live band for a while. Then, we went to the dining room side. I had the Mac and Cheese with a side of fries. The Mac and Cheese was so good, I really enjoyed it. The fries were a bit too salty so I didn't finish them. My friend had the Cubano with a side of fries which she loved. I loved the vibe, the food and the staff. Everyone was super friendly and made you feel welcomed. I also saw they have Bingo every 1st of the month, brunch specials and much more. Definitely coming here again!

Whether you're celebrating something special or just grabbing dinner, it always feels like the right place to be. And the view? Absolutely breathtaking. Sitting by the water while enjoying an incredible meal makes the entire experience unforgettable.

Jimmy the chef and his crew do a great job. Nice views all year; they built a new deck post-COVID that's wonderful for lunches (it does get packed during the summer at peak dinner.) Active marinas to the north so there is some boat watching to do. Solid bartenders, Joe & Alexandra (also the hostess and floor manager) - generous martinis! Never tried the dock'n'dine since I have a slip nearby, but I do see people pulling up for dinner.
