This was a welcomed dining experience in St. Albans that I did not expect. Tim's Place had good food, amazing waitstaff, and a clean facility within which to consume my food! read more

Nice little diner to eat at! The staff were friendly and food came out promptly! The Greek pizza was really good! There's also mashed potato pizza that we were afraid to try, but if you're more adventurous than us, try it! Good place to stop at if you're passing through! read more

See all

Have eaten there twice -- once dine in and once take out. Both times our meals were good. Typical diner food. But the menu is really creative and doesn't just offer the diner basics. The service was good when we dined in and the food was warm still when we did take out. Really nice to have the takeout option. Only real downside is parking can be tricky. read more

The best breakfast food and lunches too. And they are all so nice and friendly also there. It is a little small but nice and cozy. :)

The food was adequate diner food. Nothing to write home about. I got the Western scramble. The best part was the toast because the rest of the food was mediocre. The service sucked. We waited a good 10 minutes seated before anyone offered us coffee, and it turns out it wasn't even our waitress who did. When our actual waitress finally showed up, she asked if she could take our order without even saying sorry about the delay. Then I noticed she was busing all the other waitresses' tables. And when she brought us our food, she asked if we wanted a coffee refill, and we said yes. And I watched her walk over and bus another waitress's table again before she brought us our coffee! I don't know if she was just a lousy waitress or if she was a victim of bad management making her bus all the tables while she is trying to waitress too. I won't be back. Update: Wow, Arthur, you missed the point. I don't mind waiting 10 minutes. But others were being served ahead of us, and you were having my waitress bus all the other tables. read more

What a place, folks were lined up outside before it opened and for a good reason, food was excellent, piping hot, server was great. Got to try the homemade sausage sooo good. We will be back. read more

Give her some but definitely does need to switch careeers read more

I was worried, being a true Southerner, about the service being rude based on a previous review. I had nothing to worry about! The servers were fantastic, friendly and efficient. Breakfast was delicious. The French toast with the crunchy coating was sinful. I can't even explain how good that was- absolutely not diabetic friendly, but worth every carbohydrate. My husband, a brave soul, ordered the biscuits and gravy 30 minutes from the Canadian border. I watched with concern as he took the first bite, but he declared them edible! Y'all Yanks may not get this, but that's high praise!! The coffee was delightful especially after days on the road and some strange substitutes for good quality coffee on our trek across Canada. Thanks were given. We enjoyed the quaint, Gilmore Girls vibe, the townspeople chatter and the beautiful little town. Thanks for sharing it with us. read more

New to town, and this was my first pizza order. It was takeout, done on time and ordering and payment smooth and polite. I have strong feelings about pizza, having grown up in New Jersey. I don't expect NY/NJ style pizza everywhere, but I do know which elements can tank a pizza. The toppings on my pizza were pretty good, not excellent but above average. The sauce was decent, nothing to write home about but not a detriment. The crust, however, was disappointing. Crust is a big deal with pizza. And this crust shared several unpleasant similarities with canned pizza dough made by Pillsbury you'd buy at the grocery store. It was airy and pockmarked on the bottom, and had the barest of sweet tastes which I always associated with some sort of additive or preservative (not sure if I'm right about the cause, but there's something there that's not flour, water, yeast, salt, or oil). I would be very surprised if the dough was made in-house. I bake lots of types of bread and I just can't see how fresh dough could be made or treated to have this texture or taste. And, though I mentioned the ghost of sweetness, what I'd summarize the crust tasting like is: Nothing. A sort of greasy, airy, canned nothing. Sounds harsh, but I'm being honest. I'll order from here again, but I'll try some other places in hopes of finding something that strikes me more as being made entirely on-site. read more

Cute little dinner. Food was reasonably priced. Waitress was really nice despite my 3 loud children ;)

Great food and the friendliest service ever! I had the eggs Benedict and...1) the English muffins was actually toasted 2) the eggs were poached perfectly and 3) the home fries were seasoned lightly with some rosemary and they were not greasy. My husband had three gigantic fluffy blueberry pancakes and I homemade sausage on the side. He devoured it all. All the staff were gracious and our waitress Kathy was excellent. Clean and cozy with parking right in front. You can't go wrong. read more

Great pizza and fair prices. Staff is great there! Wonderful place to grab a bite that's easy on the walllet!

This place has the best breakfast I've ever had that didn't include biscuits and grave.(leave that to the south). Service was great and the place was super clean. Try the Frosted Flakes incrusted French toast drizzled with a decadent caramel sauce. My mouth is watering again. read more

Very small place, but their pizza and wings are amazing! Buffalo chicken is on par to Mimmos but not as pricey. And the sauce for the wings is flavorful read more

Stopped in on a whim for breakfast. It was fantastic! So good I forgot to take pics. The corn beef hash is all home made and super delicious. The pancake with real Vermont maple syrup was the best I have ever had. I highly recommend trying this place for breakfast. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious. Plus our service by Ang was fabulous. There is minimal parking and not a lot of tables so I assume there could be a wait for tables and parking from time to time. However, 10am on Tuesday it was perfect for us. read more

When we arrived at just before 9 a.m. on a Tuesday, there was only one server and a lot of customers. Within 10 minutes, almost every table was occupied and another server arrived. The building and dining area are run down -- it's a diner in a small, rural town -- but the staff is cheerful and works hard. The food was delicious. We would definitely return. We had omelets and toast. read more

Went here last minute after a different place was sold out of a bunch of their food. Before that I bought a chai tea to walk around with. I wasn't done my chai tea and walked into Tims place and they sat us. The waitress came over and instead of greeting us, the first thing she does is tapped my chai tea and said, "oh no this can't be in here either chug it or put it under the table." I thought that was extremely rude and we wanted to leave after that but didn't because we were starving. I understand they probably don't want outside drinks coming in, but for our circumstance and how it was so last minute we were just shocked at how we were treated when we got here. I feel like it should've been handled differently. read more

Great food but the management has poor customer service. My husband and I get takeout from there twice a week on the weekends and the last three times our orders were incorrect. I let it go the first two times because hey mistakes happen but this last time I specifically repeated myself twice in order to be clear to the woman, taking my order answering the phone. She still got my order wrong and then when I called back and expressed how upset I was about the order being wrong once again, the woman hung up on me, then called back and asked to speak to the manager and the woman who hung up on me was the manager and basically told me that if I didn't like it, then I don't need to order from there, and then proceeded to hang up on me again I definitely won't be taking my family in there, and I will not be ordering from them again read more

Good solid food! Ambience is local St. Albans townsfolk. Nothing fancy - just a good little diner with a good menu and friendly staff. A regular stop when I need good food. read more

Stuffed Potato Pizza... I'm sorry did I have to say more? They have the traditional pepperoni and cheese pizzas, or maybe the more politically incorrect Hawaiian pizza (pineapples do belong on pizza!)... but try some of their specialty pizzas they're an experience you have not had before, I promise, if you haven't been to Tim's before then you haven't experience their creative topping pizzas yet. Not into Pizza? I would recommend the wings or Caesar Salad, both awesome options and very tasty. Made perfect every time I've gone, and it's been a few times! Trust me. Environment is nice, it would be awesome to see wood floors in there, but the carpets are nice. The bathrooms are always clean and the tables quickly cleared for the next customers, so the wait isn't every very long. They also offer take-out, and it's quick too! Atmosphere is nice, they always welcome you with a smile and Arthur or his father Tim will often say hello and chat while you wait for your take-out. If you're looking for a small home town feel, look no further than Tim's Place. Five for Environment, five for a quality, five for friendliness, and five for atmosphere, well done Tim's 5 stars. read more

Authentic and fresh. Typical diner fare served fast and hot. The baklava says everything you need to know.

I believe in second chances. Sometimes years later. Was in a hurry with my son the other day, we needed to grab a quick breakfast and get on with some stuff. It has been almost 5 years since my last experience with Tim's. I reluctantly entered with my son. The waitress was quick with a Happy Greeting. She brought a menu to us and we ordered. Prices were reasonable. Food was hot perfectly cooked and delicious. My son said what a change from the last time we were here. He said yeah maybe you should change your review, maybe it is good to let some time pass and see how things have changed? I agreed that seemed like a great idea. Our experience this time was excellent. We plan to go back for lunch next. Hat tip to the waitresses who were fast, kind and had it going on. Made you feel at home. read more

The atmosphere for breakfast was quaint and the waitress was great at her job. We always had a full cup of coffee and she was quick to take our order. I ordered the sausage gravy biscuit and the gravy was bland and thin like it had been watered down. It was room temperature and the potatoes I got were partially cooked. They did a great job on my over easy eggs and my husband's skillet. read more

We love our breakfasts at Tim's. The staff is so friendly and the service is quick! Also it is my personal belief that their home fries are the best in town! read more

Haven't tried their breakfast but have never heard anything but good things about this place so finally decided to try their pizza. We ordered a large cheese, large pepperoni and a small white pizza and were able to have it delivered. They are one of the few pizza places that actually offers delivery in town upon request with a certain order amount. I have to say appearance wise i was skeptical as I am a fan of traditional NY style pizza, but it was delicious! Friendly staff and excellent food! I will definitely order again. read more

The food was delicious , perfectly cooked,portion size perfect ! Delivery time from the time we ordered to the time we Received our food perfect ! The only thing was the nasty little mean controlling waitress don't worry I left her a 20% tip but if you get Jen ask for someone different I was shaking by the time I left !!! She asked my husband if he wants a straw and gives him a paper straw and when he asks if they have plastic she preceded to tell him it is against the law !! Even if it is this is no place to get into a argument with a customer! (No sir that's all we have ) would have been a better choice of words He asks for Pepsi she gives him Diet Coke oh my gosh for some people that would be like she started a war but he just wanted a Coke or Pepsi some pop to drink so I took the soda and went up to the counter because he couldn't even get our waitresses attention and I asked the other waitress to give me a coke and she brought to the table. Our waitress didn't even tell us they only had Coke not Pepsi and she said when I told her oh I thought I did We ate are food and I couldn't wait to get out of there it was so uncomfortable and I couldn't wait to get there because there food is so good but the service was awful I will not be back because I dont go out to get scolded or told that I can't have a straw because it is against the law !! So I will not be back and will let everyone I know that unless you want to get in an argument with the waitress stay away from there ! And one more thing she had the nerve to tell my husband that he must like to argue well even if he does who is a server at a restaurant (diner) talking to her customer like that who does she think she is ! This is a service job not a be critical of all your customers job !! Nobody asked for her opinion or her input on anything just serve ! I did my job paid my bill and left the tip !! And I was a nurse for 30 years just unacceptable behavior from this girl !! Place was clean coffee great !!! Their is not one person I have talked to about it that said they would have left a tip I just hope she takes the money and gets help !!! read more

Had the meat lovers skillet. Bacon, ham and sausage. 2 eggs over easy. Nothing fake about this. All super fresh. Best skillet I've ever eaten. Rye toast was in unbelievable. Great breakfast place. Authentic diner. Can't go wrong. I never give 5 stars cause what if I find something better? read more

This is our go to place for pizza in St Albans. Crust and sauce are excellent, quick service too.

Great service! Breakfast done well! Real Vermont maple syrup on my French toast and excellent corn mash are not things you find in other states' breakfast places. Enjoyed our kind server also! read more

I went here after seeing the reviews however I was disappointed. My waitress was very nice and friendly but another server (possible manager) checked on every other person in the diner except me. Kinda made me feel unwelcomed, because I wasn't a usual customer. The food was the biggest disappointment though. My omelette was very small and barely had any filling, and the home fires were hard. I also tired the biscuits and gravy which tasted sour, and the "homemade" hash which kinda tasted like a burnt burger. I thought that for what I was paying the portion size should have been bigger, and again that my omelette should have had significantly more filling. Don't think I will be returning. read more

Delicious hole in the wall food, diner style. Friendly staff and super busy, so you know the food is good.

On a recommendation, we drove 40 minutes to have breakfast. I was looking forward to some French Toast until I saw that you had to pay an extra $1 for Vermont Maple Syrup. Seriously? St Albans has a maple fest every year, this is Vermont! No self respecting Vermonter pays extra in Vermont for what is one of the few things we do well. When I'm on the road and hit a Cracker Barrel, they offer VT maple syrup without an extra cost. That said, Tim's food and service was very good. Instead of the French Toast, I had the breakfast quesadilla which was tasty while my wife had the veggie skillet which she really enjoyed. Tim's is a solid option for breakfast but do the right thing, stop charging extra for Vermont Maple Syrup, that's just wrong! read more

The staff is very aggressive with each other. The food can sometimes be very soggy and greasy. Unless you're hungover or looking for coronary artery disease this isn't your spot. read more

Breakfast was wonderful, they were swamped but the service was great .. apparently they are very used to being busy .. can't wait to return.

This diner was underwhelming at best. Earlier reviews spoke of greasy foods to which I would agree. Food was overcooked and the service was mediocre. The hash was laden with grease and wasn't prepared like it was even cooked. The eggs, scrambled, were served burnt. The pancakes were heavy and flavorless. The potato hash browns were chopped in tiny cubes and served with little flavor and were again, way too greasy. Overall, this is a place I will not be visiting again. read more

Great service and quintessential diner. I had the bacon cheddar waffle with scallions and could not help but eat the entire waffle. Hot coffee, delicious comfort food, and on point service. Nonexistent parking during peak times means you'll likely need to find a spot on the street but it's well worth it. read more

What a good meal!!! What a wonderful staff!!! We enjoyed our French Dip and cheese steak sandwiches. The best were the rolls, they were substantial enough to hold the filling but soft, were very tasty and they had a good look on the plate. It was fun to here the locals come in and hear the friendly "Cheers" like banter between the staff and the patrons. What a charming place that has great food!!! read more

Had breakfast here for the first time a couple days ago and let me say it was excellent ! The service was prompt all though a bit confusing with separate waitstaff for drinks and food, but I digress ..the food is inexpensive really well made, very fresh and tasty. The atmosphere is typical "diner" style, small homy and a bit cramped but it fits the bill of a diner and we loved it. Check it out for breakfast you will love it. read more
