Me and my friend are trying to go to all of the diners in the Fairfield county area as an experiment. This diner has been by far the worst one. We walked in, chose a table and waited for 20 minutes before the server noticed us. Food came out and it was okay, Not the best. When it came out it looked great, but lacked in any real flavour, except from the pickle. (what do you expect from Stamford tbh). Room is small, and the booth we sat at is not centred and the table was 6 inches from the seat back on one side, so if you have a horizontally challenged friend, don't sit at a booth. Price was honestly outrageous, don't come here expecting to spend less than 20 dollars a head (15 dollars for chicken tenders???) The bathroom was basic but not bad, the toilet paper was very high up, and it would be hard for a child to reach it. When we were paying at the front, our waiter was basically standing over us watching the tip amount which was slightly awkward. Overall I would rate this a solid 2/5, biggest negative was the price. (Edit the food gave me food poisoning, send help 1/5) read more

Springdale Diner - Diner - Diners Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Don't miss out on this hidden gem! The food and service is awesome. We've been coming here for years. This is our favorite place to enjoy a delicious breakfast on a lazy weekend morning. .......a very casual and cozy dining atmosphere. read more

After very few reviews, I was eager to check this little place out and offer my opinion. We came on a Sunday morning, had no wait at all, and were greeted immediately by friendly staff. We were asked for our coffee orders and brought coffee right away. The menu is extensive, with a lot to choose from. The place is small, but feels like a classic diner. I appreciated that the menu offered raisin toast. Our food came out right away. We got breakfast specials, one with all three meats and one with a slice of French toast. Both of us ordered our eggs over easy. One set came out as ordered, and the other sunny-side up. The bacon was where I was disappointed. Usually Diner bacon is nice and crisp. This was limp and undercooked. Bummer! Otherwise everything was just fine. We'd definitely return, and I'd like to try their lunch/dinner offerings. read more

For breakfast, my friend ordered a small waffle. I ordered one single solitary pancake. We each had coffee. With the tip, it was 25 dollars The atmosphere was pleasant. But, twenty five dollars! You've got to be kidding! read more

Classic diner fare in an old timely classic diner. Sits right next to the train tracks so don't be surprised when the train horns go off! Server was friendly but not intrusive and food was solid. Ask for toast and home fries well done. The no stack pancake is a great way to add a single pancake to your order. read more

First you start with locating a new diner to see how they are - the owners glare at you from inside as you pull up. Walk in and say good morning, you get glared at even more. Only words - sit anywhere. Get handed a well used and abused menu that should have been retired. Paper literally glued to the table from being repeatedly not cleaned/washed, now a permanent fixture. Bugs....yes bugs on the table...actually with the sourness coming from the very unhappy owners, the little guy was the high light of my morning. Ask for coffee and more time to check the huge menu - decided to try chicken sausage and some eggs....yea...downfall, sausage tasted old and smelled old, like rotten old. (Blech) Best part - HAIR! Yes not only one delightful hair in my eggs, but two in the food - super fun surprise - NOT! Sadly I could not get a good image of this.... I did notice that the woman's clothes were covered in hair, guessing her husband who was the cook may have participated in this extra additive. read more

Friendly staff good food. Great for kids. You can play Keno. Love this place. Can't wait to go back

Been living in Stamford for 8 years and last month was my first time here. Since then I've been here four times and every time that I come here the food the service has been great. It is very affordable and the diner is very hospitable and with a lot of local great people that come in this establishment.So the eight years that I didn't come here shame on me. :-) read more

Awful experience. I am a lifetime Springdale resident and I can't believe how badly we were treated. A handful of customers and 3 servers standing around and no one waited on us, not even a glass of water! I had to get their attention to get service. And the breakfast sandwich was mediocre. Never again. read more

The banana chocolate chip pancakes were to die for! The chilli cheese fries are also amazing. Friendly and quick service is great. The decor is lacking but I don't base my review on asthetics. The food is great and at a reasonable price. Get the banana chocolate chip pancakes. Do it. read more

I enjoyed being able to sit outside with friends for a nice lunch. I had a chicken salad, my friends each had different kinds of omelets, one with feta, the other with a blueberry pancake. The receipt was completely illegible, items and prices. By my calculations, the total should have been less than it was. None of us made a big deal about it as the food was fine; however, it might deter me from come back. read more

Perfect Sunday morning brunch. The coffee is always hot and the food is delicious. Fries were crispy and club was great! read more

Springdale Diner - a plate of sandwiches and french fries - Diners Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

This is our absolute favorite diner in the area. It's basic diner food with a large menu. Great omelettes and they are great on refilling your coffee. For something different try the Melissa special for lunch! Family run and a regular spot for us! read more

This place is cute from the outside so I wanted to give it a try but as soon as I got to my table I noticed that it was dirty and very sticky which immediately turned me off but I was still willing to give it a try. The menu is pretty small, very standard diner food. I ordered a spinach and feta omelette dry and the waitress told me that she would try. I guess she wasn't confident the kitchen and cook it without oil. My husband ordered the lumberjack special and asked for turkey bacon instead of ham or sausage. Our food came out and it seemed like very small portions also my husband's eggs didn't come out with his meal. When we asked for his eggs the waitress said all they were up there I guess implying that they were sitting waiting to be taken to our table? They also got the substitution of turkey bacon wrong. Overall I would say this experience was not great. The food was just OK and the service could have been better. When we got our check we were way over charged for the lumberjack special but I will say the owner made it right without an argument so that's a positive. Overall I would say skip this place, there are far better diners in Stamford. read more

Worst food I have ever eaten no flavor and they used Italian dressing for a ceaser won't be going back and the wrap was soggy

Yeah ...NO. LAST RESORT ALWAYS. Staff is almost never happy and the food is just eh. The coffee is just eh... and the service is the same. It's like they are doing you a favor serving you ? For the prices you can go anywhere! So I'm sitting at the counter and ordered a coffee a few years back. Asked for milk back then and was given a little silver serving pourer.... I smelled the milk and it was bad. I said (to the owner) "I think the milk is spoiled". He smells and says no it fine just use it.... I pour it in my coffee to play along and it ofcourse curdles !! He says oh,ok you were right ?!?! You want to prove something over 20 cents worth of milk ? No no no .... plus 90% of their food comes from cans. I don't put canned mushrooms ina n omelette. Lazy and cheap. Go to one of the Delis nearby. read more

Can't really comment on the cleanliness or service because I placed an order to pick up after doing laundry up the street. After reading some of the reviews I was worried that the food was going to suck, because I've had bad diner food before and when its bad....it can be pretty gross. Their food was pretty good. I had a cheeseburger deluxe and my boyfriend had a pastrami special. Both of which were tasty enough that we would go back. The fries were typical diner fries, prices are good and portions are big, just like it should be at a diner. read more

Clean, small, quaint. Kind Greek staff. Small menu for a diner. So my one co-worker had grilled cheese w/waffle fries and cheese on top. She said it was the "perfect diner grilled cheese". I ordered the chicken souvaki platter....that was seasoned chicken chunks w/Greek salad & vinegrette dressing (yum!), with Greek yogurt dressing, hot, homemade pita, and french fries (couldn't eat most it), and Ken got pork souvaki wrap with pickle and fries. $42 including tip and tax in Stanford, Conn. I rate it 3.75, Ken 2.5, Robin 4 stars. Loved it. read more

Springdale Diner - Waffle fries - Diners Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

A cute little diner adjacent to the Springdale Metro North station in Stamford. The diner is our go to for weekend breakfasts. The older staff are more friendly than younger. I usually order an omelet. And really haven't been disappointed. read more

Springdale Diner - Spinach mushroom omelet - Diners Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

A good diner is a North Eastern staple, and there are certainly one and five star establishments alike from Jersey to Maine. Springdale Diner isn't the cream of the crop, but it's by no means piece of crap. I've eaten here 3 times and it's been consistently satisfying. I've never had an issue with cleanliness and have found the establishment to be spotless upon every visit. All the keys are there: Friendly service, decent food, hefty portions, and fair prices. On top of the fact that if you're a local, or just a frequent visitor to the neighborhood like myself, the convenience factor in terms of proximity for commuters on the Metro North make this diner a sure thing. read more

Hi All, I have been to this place 4 times in 10 years... and it seemed to get worse with each visit. It starts with bad service, then you notice the not -so-clean dishes/silverware... and then the awful food. I travel a lot around the country and sometimes when I return, I crave a good Northeast diner. Well... this is definitively not one to fulfill that craving. This could be the worst place I have eaten in the Fairfield/Westchester county area. I am just amazed that it stays in business. My theory is that on weekends, all other diners are sooooo crowded, that they just get the disgruntled overflow customers. The eggs, bacon, bread, pancakes, french toast, bagels, juice, hot cocoa, and coffee were horrible... not one thing is done well here. I couldn't give a more resounding NO DO NOT EAT HERE!!! Sorry for the bad review, but they earned it, MSZ read more

Very dissapointed. Came here with my friend on a thursday morning the place was dead. Their coffee was awful it tasted like iodine . I couldnt drink it. Whats it like a dinerwithout good coffee. There was no one it the place but us and two guys. So i told the older single waitress the coffee tasted funny . She then in Return told me ....really its fine ive been drinking it all morning . Im like can i have a fresh cup and she said its from the same pot. Lesson learned....not going back here. Ps my home fries were cold too read more

Get spot , looks like a family business. Foods terrific! I rather com here every day than olio..

Best Diner ever!! The Springdale Omelet is off the chains and most importantly the service is fast. They have every thing here I tried it all and it's so good! They are friendly and the place is clean. read more

This is a good solid diner. Short stack pancakes and home fries we're satisfying and for a good price.

The staff was really nice but the food was honestly so gross. Like my boyfriend and I could not even eat it without being disgusted. They served 3 soggy chicken links that smelled horrible. Not to mention the price for two things was $45. Save your time and money go elsewhere. read more

Sometimes low down diner food is exactly what's the doctor ordered. This place has the prescription for that diner food itch. Hidden secret, both the chicken and meatball Parm sandwich are great. read more

Ambivalent counter staff, stale syrupy sweet blueberry muffins with few berries and weak coffee make me wonder what except the location and diner architecture makes this place attractive? Hoping for a new owner to bring quality to this deserving location. read more

Great service & good food. That spinach pie w/ Greek salad special is LIFE! As is the flank steak special. Gotta go try it folks!!

This diner SUCKS! If they put salad dressing on your salad be prepared for a over drenched soggy salad. went to eat in one day and the wrap they brought me was soaked and soggy as if it was sitting there before I walked in. The service isn't terrible but the food is bad enough for me not to return. read more

Went to Spingdale diner for the first time today. Loved it!!! The food was good. The service friendly and quick. The place was clean. Don't know why I never went there but surely will return.. read more

Pretty good diner in Springdale. Cheaper than Parkway Diner on High Ridge. Gets busy on weekends but what diner doesn't. Food's good, service is good, if they were open 24 hours they'd get a five star rating read more

Usually when you walk in diners you get greeted nicely, here it's just "sit anywhere". Service was trash, when we received our drinks the girl just placed it on top of the menu where it could've fallen, ordered a coffee and she didn't even ask "how would you like your coffee" or at least a "would you like it on the side" nothing. My family and I only got to order drinks, so we left read more

Greeting everyone! Been to this diner a couple of times and I really like the burgers there! Service was ok and watching the train pass by was also really cool. read more

Traditional dinner food and quality. Service is mediocre. There are always the same waitresses who are typically rude.

Fresh food, served hot and reasonably priced. Great Burger cooked exactly as ordered.

One of the best diner breakfasts I've had. Crispy home fries, amazing bacon, perfect French toast, and great sunny side up eggs. Good service and private parking lot. read more

You will always have a bad experience once in while no matter where you go... Today was it I ordered what I normally order every time I go there and yes... Here it comes I found hair in my food which was not mine... I let them know right away and they offered to refund my money and make the order right. Seeing that the cooks only wear Baseball Caps should not be allowed... Hairnets SHOULD BE WORN UNDERNEATH THEM AT ALL TIMES. The cleanlyness of this establishment is much to be desired... Makes one wonder if the cooks even wash thier hands if they use the restrooms read more

Ambience is horrible with all the old folks there. Place looks dirty...Don't recommend unless your starving.
