I can honestly say this is the BEST DINER in the area. The menu is quite large, but they can whip you a meal packed with flavor. I tried the seafood-stuffed mushroom, and it blew my mind how good it was. I ordered more of it to take home. I'm looking forward to getting this again. Service is good as always, and coming here after is the best time; it's not as busy, and you can have a peaceful late lunch. read more

We ate here for lunch while on a trip. The place was busy but service was fast, so we were seated after a short wait. My husband and I ordered plates off the specials menu. Mine was potato knish with sauerkraut and pastrami, which was delicious (and also not something you can get at most diners, which was a plus for me). The decor was also very retro, which we loved. We highly recommend this place for a quick, filling meal. read more

Even though I live in the area, I had never been to this diner until about four months ago. Since then, I've been there a few times for lunch and most recently I went for breakfast. I've never been disappointed. I especially like their sandwiches and soups. It's a small diner, clean and nicely decorated. The servers are competent. It seems to cater to an older crowd. I find it to have a very pleasant ambiance. My plan is to go back soon. read more

Stony Hill Diner - Eggs Benedict - Diners Near Me - Bethel, Connecticut

Diner food yes please....I absolutely love diner food. Stony Hill Diner had excellent food...I had an egg omelet with tomatoes and an ice coffee. The omelet was perfect with tomatoes added an extra flavor and ice coffee was bold. Btw I am expert in diner food. read more

Food quality / price (value) 10. The atmosphere is typical Connecticut diner, clean, modern, with well trained staff, and an owner that's usually present and obviously cares about his business. Consistency is king in the restaurant business, and this past year (and about 10 visits) have proven consistent. This is a new owner since 2024, and there is definitely improvement. Diners have had it tough since Covid, and several are still just "getting by", while this place continues to gain market share. Ignore the rare one star review, as they're typically old reviews written by people that give more one atar reviews than the sum of all their other reviews, a real telltale sign of "ax grinding" due to their own biases. I've had nothing but great experiences here for the past year! read more

Needed a hearty breakfast and we got it. The spinach Benedict was amazing - good flavor and well prepared. The nutellla pancakes and the Dutch apple pancakes were scrumptious and rich and huge! It's a classic diner feel with slightly lackluster service but we enjoyed the food a lot. read more

Okay, there's diners and there's DINERS. Stony Hill is unpretentious, welcoming and yummy. Their diners fare is top notch, their specialty dishes never disappoint, and, oh, the PEOPLE! From the bus staff to the owner, you're welcomed into the family and not treated as just another customer. Even when it's way out of our way, we'll always come back to the Stony Hill Diner! read more

Ate breakfast at Stony Hill Diner early this morning. I ordered the full stack of the Praline French Toast w/ a side of sausage. Meal came out very quickly. Was decent French Toast, not as good as my wife's at home, but for a diner, I was satisfied. Not much more to say other than I'd stop in again to Stony Hill Diner if I was in the area. A solid 4 Star Rating. read more

Stony Hill Diner - Chicken Cutlet Parmagiana - Diners Near Me - Bethel, Connecticut

We popped in on a snowy night and had amazing food and service. The menu is extensive so it's hard to choose. Eventually we chose a turkey burger, fries, and salad. Everything was fresh, huge portioned, and delicious! We were staying just down the street and this was an excellent find. One tip: the desserts look much better than they taste. They look ooey gooey and rich but the quality of ingredients is just not there. (Sales technique: they are wrapped to go at checkout) Great! We tried a few! Nothing we would have again. However, if I am in the area I will definitely be back. read more

very expensive 3 burgers with fries and three sodas one cookie $70.00. next time ill go to way back burger

Here on vacation in the area. Amazing service. Amazing and delicious food. Nice hometown atmosphere.

Portions were very big and everything was great. The wait staff is very nice and attentive.

It's a true surprise. I ordered the "Yankee Pot Roast". The Yankee Pot Roast (beef with carrots, potatoes, celery and so forth) and found no Yankee. Just meat with potato pancakes, The meat was flavorful and would have truly benefited with the other great looking her root vegetables. So to fill in the gap I ordered the great looking strawberry cheesecake. I found it a bit limp, not firm. My son's turkey club was flavorful and came with "French Fries" that wee served as potato wedges. He purchased a big chocolate chip cookie on the way out complete with no flavor. Service was good, diner feel was there. Most food had good flavor. just lacked in description and execution. read more

Great 50's style diner with fast, friendly service, great breakfasts and reasonable prices. We enjoyed our visit and will be back in the future! read more

Breakfast on 6/6. An omelette, fruit cup, oatmeal were had. Also, purchased three of the most beautiful black and white cookies ever seen. Service was great and every staff person was very helpful-the waitress and woman busing tables in particular. If we lived closer we'd visit frequently. Great breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. Strongly recommend. read more

Extremely rude customer service. The food is fine but nothing to write home about. Ordered an ice cream sundae and they basically chased us out the door. Would not recommend under any circumstances. They have no interest in letting you enjoy your meal. Ambiance is just a shitty diner. Seems like they wish they were in New York. read more

Stopped here for breakfast on a Sunday on our way out of town. I was a little worried when I saw how crowded it was and didn't think we'd be able to get a table for our party of 7. However, they told us they could get us in in about ten or fifteen minutes and sure enough, they did! This diner is very well run and the staff are on top of everything. The hostess was wonderful and I'm sorry I didn't get her name but she was lovely and really was good at her job! The food was great. I got the Dutch apple pancakes. It was 3 large pancakes with cinnamon apples and candied pecans. Very decadent and I only was able to eat half but it was delicious. Two people at our table got the cheesecake stuffed French toast and it really is stuffed with cheesecake. I tried it and it was great! We got several sides of bacon which was cooked crispy and was really good. The kids liked their French toast and chocolate chip pancakes. I would definitely come here again and it gets a big thumbs up from me! read more

We had the Blue plate breakfast and shared. 2 eggs any way you want them, order an extra egg, since we were sharing. Perfectly cooked over easy! The pancakes are thin and cake i like with a hint of vanilla, delicious! The sausage are meaty and not greasy, old fashioned yummy sausages. Bacon was thin and crispy absolutely delish! Home fries are yummy, as well! Coffee is nice and strong, not watered down. Love the friendly staff! We traveled from Trumbull to check these guys out and they didn't disappoint! Local diners by us in Trumbull have gone down hill in quality! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite and a break...wanted CBH and eggs, but was informed that they only served "canned CBH" THAT'S NOT MY FORTE!!! I instead opted for the "meat lover's omelet. EHHH it was just ok. The omelet was huge and the meat mixture was recycled bacon (which was overcooked- not enjoyable, ham & sausage and cheddar). The homefries were plentiful and served hot (needed some seasoning love)! Buttered toast was buttered toast- how can u mess that up? The coffee was piping hot (just like u like it) and refills were consistent! Ok that's all for now! Chef Clinton read more

I have busted dozens of diners in my life. Diners are my favorite type of place to eat. This place blows most of them out of the water. The service is stellar. The atmosphere is relaxing and classic. The food is top notch. I am a huge fan of pastrami reubens, and I have had actual dreams about ordering this sandwich. The kids meals are perfectly portioned, and they come with ice cream. You can get them at a price that can't be beat. I visit this diner at least twice a month, typically. But I will admit that it is EXTREMELY hard to drive past. By far my favorite diner in Western Connecticut read more

Stopped here on our way out of town and would absolutely go out of the way to return. The staff was delightful and the food was excellent! Big fluffy pancakes, generous portions at a great price, and hands down the best club sandwich ever. Everything is scratch made from the hand breaded chicken tenders to the crispy and fluffy potato wedges. What a gem! read more

Stopped in for brunch on Monday, breakfast food hit the spot! Quick and courteous service, standard diner fare with 100+ menu items to choose, reasonably priced and large portion sizes, plenty to eat and fill you up! Nothing unique to call out, but is a convenient restaurant location near I-84. Ordered breakfasts, all satisfyingly good! I had a Breakfast burrito filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, avocado, onion, green pepper and cheese. This was flavorful and cooked perfectly, served with a side of fresh chunky hash browns, salsa and sour cream. I think this was the best meal we ordered. And of course I heard the buttermilk pancakes were also good, so got a short side stack to share as well - very good! Friends ordered Pastrami and Eggs and Corned Beef Hash and eggs. Both portions were large, and also had sides of crisp potatoes. The pastrami came in small slices while the corn beef minced with potatoes. Both were tasty, but I've had better. Lots of choices for breakfast foods, sandwiches, dinner entrees etc. A convenient and friendly eatery with choices to satisfy most taste cravings. Enjoy! read more

I really can't believe the manager, being so rude to me, when she was the one that took the order and it was completely wrong. Is it a really big deal to reimburse me? Piss poor customer service. Really, I'm so disgusted, I threw out the food and ordered from another diner. I will never give my money to that place again. Be aware, they just don't care about their customers which is idiotic to me because that's what keeps them alive. read more

Nice diner. I had French Onion Soup. Very flavorful. The waitress was very nice and attentive. I'll come back for sure. read more

Stony Hill was busy for breakfast even late morning on a weekday, but it was never full to the point where you had to wait for a table. That's because the food - good basic diner food - comes out fast and the service is attentive and friendly. The aisles between the booths are narrow, so please make room for folks with mobility issues and waitresses with full trays. Some of the menu items looked really interesting. Had I entered super-hungry, I probably would have tried the moussaka omelet, something I've never actually seen anywhere else. They have quite a lot of egg wraps on the menu too. I settled instead for a spinach Benedict. It was smothered in Hollandaise sauce, tasty but probably not homemade. The potatoes were a little inconsistent, some parts were crispy (my preference), some less, and personally I would have enjoyed having some onions or peppers in with them as well. The coffee is industrial and VERY strong. Even after I mixed in 3 creamers worth of half-and-half, it was still quite dark. But the staff came by with refills frequently. This is a good, solid, place for breakfast, and certainly a much better option than any restaurant chain in the vicinity. read more

On my wife's and I's recent trip to Boston on the way up we are looking for a quick bite to eat late @ night. We decided to give Stony Hill Diner a try And it was a great decision. 1st of all the service was impeccable they greeted us at the door and seated immediately. Unfortunately I cannot remember the waitress's name because she deserves kudos for service she gave us. I started out with a tomato soup it was hearty enough and very flavourful and I actually could have made a meal of just a soup, but I did not stop there I went ahead and ordered the Gyro Greek Burger. Most places call it a Greek Burger if they throw a little feta cheese and taziki sauce on the side however, This Burger went beyond be on those standards. It had all the flavors of a typical Gyro with lamb meat and seasonings mixed with hamburger meat. Topped with nice big chunks of Feta and the taziki sauce on the side for you to add. You could tell the sauce was homemade and fresh. If I didn't know better I would have been thinking I ate a gyro instead of a Burger. I don't know if I will ever be backup that way but if I am I will definitely stop there again and get this Burger and I will recommend this place to anyone traveling North towards Boston. read more

Excellent service! Everyone was very welcoming. I'm a server at Long Horn Steak house in albany, ny, as well as a certified trainer there; and we focus heavy on meeting all of our guest needs with a smile! As soon as we walked in they were welcoming. Ms. Claudia was our server, and she she was attentive, and gave us anything we needed. She was such a doll/sweet heart. If you have a chance to go to this diner before hitting the road do so! And the bathrooms were so clean as well as the rest of the restaurant. read more
