    Was running out of options for rest areas driving late into the night from CT to NH when we found this diner on Google Maps. Felt like Michael J. Fox in "Back to the Future"! Wonderful decor and love the jukebox! The staff was very pleasant and friendly. The bathrooms were very clean. Would definitely order food next time and enjoy the restaurant vibe!

    Finally got back here after a ski trip. Tried to come the week before but closed to not having power from the blizzard. Needless to say I had a very filling breakfast for dinner. Three eggs, six meats (three of each) and two pancakes. Sausage was my favorite food on the plate. Bacon was not crispy like I had asked, eggs had little to no cheese and pancakes I felt were just slightly overcooked. Ordered a milkshake but they were out of ice cream from a busy night before. Probably for the best as I did not need one. Ruby did a great job behind the counter. Noticed the lack of cheese on my eggs and asked if she could get me more. Being that it's already a huge breakfast I declined and thanked her. But was very friendly and we talked about the busy day she had yesterday. With Fifty's Dinner not being open 24/7 anymore this is the spot to come for your late night hunger cravings.

    Stopped in on a beautiful, top-down day enroute to Vermont for leaf peeping. Iconic looking on the outside, open 24 hours (always a plus), right off I-91, and used by a lot of truckers. Sign on the door mentions the staffing shortage and the resultant longer wait times. Sat on a stool at the counter and was waited on by Emily. First and foremost, she is an absolute gem. Like an octopus. No wasted motion. Constantly doing everything. With a smile. From there, it was all downhill. Ordered the House Special omelet. Comes with homemade corned beef hash, home fries, and toast. The omelet itself was "unusual " in that I have never had or seen an omelet that had a runny yolk when you cut into it. It appeared as a normal omelet on the outside, but the inside egg part was almost as if they layered a sunnyside up egg inside before the CBH. The person next to me experienced the same thing, as did someone further down. The CBH was full of fat, and was over spiced. Besides being salty, there was another spice that was almost overbearing. Couldn't place it. And the HFs? They were deep fried tater tots. Coffee was good, and Emily constantly kept my cup filled. The dinner menu includes numerous classics like meatloaf, liver w onions, hamburger steak, etc. I will never try them because I will never patronize this diner again. The wait was long, but that's ok if the food is good. For me, it was not.

    Biscuits and gravy, Massachusetts style.

    Looks like it was built in the 50's. Bacon, eggs and sausage, they did it right. Friendly staff. Grits need some work, but I know they tried. I will definitely eat here again.

    Classic!

    The best thing about this place is the look--a classic diner. The food is mediocre at best and the service was non-existent, except for the gentleman bringing the coffee - he was great. Our "server" was rude, barely spoke and never checked in to see if we needed anything else. She was too busy chatting up the regulars. Of course, she dropped off the check quickly. The coffee was plentiful, but weak and watery, which is odd for a truck stop. We both got ham and cheese omeletes, which were cheesy and flavorful, but seemed to be salted above and beyond the ham and cheese saltiness. The home fries were from frozen (see picture attached) and had zero flavor, no added onions or peppers and were cold to boot. Not memorable at all.

    I have been in a lot of restaurants but this one I kind of felt like I do not belong there No hello, good morning we will be a there in a moment. The plate was very hot food was cold . I'm sitting on the counter with no coffee so the waitress go to a table with a cup of water and coffee pot comes back and gave me what's left over from the coffee pot. There was an employee child about 8/10 years old sitting two bar stool from me and the next thing I know she was moved on the other half side of the counter.The cook I guess was with the waitress when she asked me right after she gave me the menu what would I like to order. I felt like the cook told her to take my order. My comment was I have to look at the menu.The plate was hot my food cold so don't give me any lips. I then had the food to go but I will not be eating it because she took my food to the back to put it in a to go box. Believe me I was being nice paying for the food.

    Breakfast was fine...I got the build your own breakfast sandwich which was good and it came with homefries...Nice price of $7.99...And they got jukeboxes on the tables to boot...Waitress was friendly...Would come again.

    Food and service were wonderful. Arrived at a busy dinner time on a Saturday early evening 6pm…read morewith no tables available so we decided to eat at the bar. Although the bar is small, seating about 10 people it was a great experience for all of us. Matt the bartender was one of kindest and most patient attentive bartender we have ever met. The food was delicious. All of us who sat and the bar were strangers but left as friends. We made a date to meet up again at the bar for dinner in exactly one year. How fun! We are looking forward to it. Great place great food and atmosphere. See you all soon You won't ever regret trying this place out. Menu photos to follow.

    We were back in the area for our yearly visit and remembered we enjoyed our last meal and decided…read moreto come again. We were not disappointed at all. The two women tending to the busy tables were like a pro tag team in helping each other to seat the tables , placemats etc... a well oiled team they were indeed. The chalkboard with the dessert specials they were promptly checking off what was selling out, I really like that because you right away what's available or isn't. I chose the nachos for my meal, I'm sorta a nacho snob but was craving them. I wasn't disappointed. Perfectly topped and cooked with some crispy cheesy chips which I like. I chose pasta & meatballs for my Granddaughter and tried a bite, those balls and sauce were wicked good also! I'd order a plate for myself next time. Bathrooms were clean also. Thank you!

    It's great that you pay your staff a livable wage however, the service sucks hence why chips are…read moreinvented in. It's based on service/quality and is EARNED.. every place that I've gone where gratuity is automatically added The service has been terrible however, when I've eaten that places where that doesn't happen, service is great because people know they have to work for their tips. I walked in a little after they opened. Nobody was there in terms of customers... I wasn't greeted. I sat at the counter. The staff continued to just chat. I felt like the staff had no interest in having a customer. I had to go over get a menu. I was looking at it. They looked at me as I was reading said menu never offering a coffee nothing I waited about 10 minutes and then I walked out put the menu back and said I gotta go. I consider myself very knowledgeable about the restaurant industry as my family has been in it for over 50 years and I have worked in it for 30 years

    The food is great and I love the "no tipping" rule because staff is paid a living wage…read more Unfortunately, the noise can be deafening, which ruins any restaurant experience for me. Leo's seems to always be busy, and sometimes there are no available tables. So many people make it quite noisy, and on top of that, the din from the kitchen is overwhelming. It sounds like they are literally throwing the dishes and pots as hard as they can into metal sinks! Not a peaceful place to eat and converse.
