Opinions de Duncan's Dairy Bar Troy
My partner brought me here b/c he used to come here as a yout. It's very nostalgic and old timey feel. The server was very kind and attentive. I would come again!
My first time at Duncan's and all I can say is yum, yum, yum! That toasted glazed donut,...to die for! Excellent service even though the place was packed. Will definitely have to visit again!
Classic local spot with that old-school diner charm you don’t find much anymore. The food’s simple, fresh, and always hits the spot — especially the breakfast. Friendly staff, quick service, and a cozy, no-frills atmosphere that feels genuine. A true Troy staple that’s worth stopping by if you want comfort food done right.
This was the best surprise on the way home from VT- local best kept secret. Old fashioned quality home cooked meals at old fashioned prices. Homemade bread, pot pies, cinnamon rolls, whole roasts for generous sandwiches…. All excellent. Get there extra early for the mysteriously disappearing giant donut. 😋 Skip the service area fast food and support a long time local family business. Bring cash 👍🏻
Oh my God this place is amazing I love this diner like I just found out about the standard The food is fantastic it's all homemade it was just fantastic
Great local diner serving up the usual comfort foods for breakfast and lunch. Friendly service, efficient and reasonable.
My girlfriend had been coming here since she was a child and she still loves it today. The food and service were both very good, so I'm inclined to agree. Only caveat I'd like to point out is that they are cash-only. They do have an ATM on site, but of course that has a fee. I can understand the reasons for this, but I just didn't feel like it was adequately conveyed when I entered because it caught me off guard when it came time to pay. Maybe I just don't like surprises 😅
This place is a treasure! The Atmosphere is fantastic. We sat at the counter area and got to see what a great team they have! Very busy on a Rainy day and It was run seamlessly. wonderful staff and delicious food! On top of a full breakfast/ lunch Menu they have Homemade bread, donuts, muffins, cinnamon rolls and much more! Definitely will be making it back soon!
Great folks in here. We were passing through this little town and found this hidden gem. Don't let the outside fool you. The food is fantastic and the staff was even better! We had the home made turkey pot pies. They're definitely worth the 8.50. Cash only but they have an ATM on site and parking big enough for a semi truck to get in.
Local staple. Cash only. If you want donuts you need to get there early. They sell out quickly. Portions are large. It’s not on the menu but you can order your hash browns deep fried. Great crispy hack. Otherwise they will be pan fried. Weekends are always busy but don’t have to wait that long for a table generally.
Quaint, old fashioned diner type establishment. Uneven floors and 50s countertops add to the charm. Food was excellent and the portions were astronomical! We could have split one meal! My sweetie eyeballed the plate-sized donuts and had to get one of those as well. Dunkin's was recommended to us by the folks at Brunswick Harley-Davidson as we were passing through from Milwaukee to Boston. We were grateful for the recommendation. Put Duncan's on your list for sure!
I stopped for a donut and was told they were out. I got a toasted cinnamon bun instead. It was ok. The decaf coffee was good. For my breakfast.
I always support small businesses when I can I'm glad I stopped in food was good large portion. Staff was nice . Place could use some updates. Thank you.
3 friends and I met here for breakfast this past Sunday. It was very crowded and busy, which is normal for a Sunday breakfast. The parking lot was inpossible, almost nowhere to park, which i thought would be a good sign.. We ordered fairly quickly and enjoyed our time catching up...until the time kept passing with no food in sight. All told, it took almost an hour to get served. When the items did arrive, it was pretty disappointing. Eggs were scrambled but had zero flavor, toast was overcooked, and the corned beef hash I had requested well done looked like it had been briefly left to cook a few seconds longer on one side, so that most of it was still mushy. Pancake was fine, but nothing special. Although it had taken an hour to get our food, the check arrived within 10 minutes. We went from having no one checking in for an hour to 5 different staff members stopping by one right after another "to see if we needed anything" (more likely to free up a table). Finally, the handwritten check was very difficult to figure out and nothing seemed to add up right. At this point we were ready to go, so we paid and left. Overall, a disappointing experience and not one I would recommend to others.
Used to be one of the best breakfast spots in Troy, but since their long-time (great) cook left recently, quality and consistency have sadly suffered. Take for example the blueberry pancakes. It’s like a “where’s Waldo” contest to find any actual blueberries in the batter (see picture) despite the added cost. Complete lack of handicapped parking, despite high % of disabled and/or older veteran patrons, is another disappointment. Try walking from any random parking space to the front door without tripping and breaking your leg, and you’ll feel like you deserve a prize. Servers are all hard-working and polite.
Review as a delivery driver. Staff seems nice to some people but service is slow and they mark their deliveries as ready to pick up well before they are. Expect to wait 10+ minutes. And late ratings. It doesn't seem equipped to handle delivery on top of in house service Edit in response: I do understand a lot of what you said and honestly I do hope the best for you and your business going forward. Especially if this isn't the regular. If I ever deliver there again and have a better experience I will reflect it in an updated review. If you really want clarification to some of the comments, I felt tones of annoyance and confusion for asking for orders. And had multiple looks thrown my way for waiting around. Along with seeing and hearing some people who were ignored by staff and then staff being chatty and friendly to other guest. I get that could just be due to a busy atmosphere but It really came off as regulars are treated well, everyone else not so much. On the last order I picked up from there when I was offered coffee it was after I had been there for 10 minutes. Before arriving I had to drive over 20 minutes to get there and to arrive after the order was Marked ready to pick up and then having to wait another 15/20 minutes made it seemed orders aren't started until drivers arrive. Which looks bad on us, for example, I had to fight with customer service on my end to get a late rating removed from this which enough of those can lead to many bad things on our end. I make reviews like this in hope business will adjust behavior that effect drivers who already have little to no protection. From delivery services we're looked at as expendable and we're looked at as even less and even as a burden from many restaurants, stores and their employees. Again I do wish you the best and I hope this is the regular experience other drivers experience.
Will never go back. Counter was dirty all the way down when we sat down. Waiter half-wiped a spot where we sat down, then plopped napkins and silverware on the soaking wet counter. My husband immediately picked them up and wiped the counter again himself. Eggs were cooked incorrectly and didn’t taste good at all. My husband ordered sausage with his meal and wouldn’t even eat it, it tasted so off. “Home fries” were big lumps of potatoes, 2/3s of the whole meal, and didn’t look at all like I expected. Waiter walked by us 4-5 times without asking how we were or anything, until I finally said “excuse me” and made him stop… and it was not overly busy. We’ve learned our lesson and will not come here again.
