Been going on and off for 20 years when I started at middlesex community. Owner is a sweet heart and staff has always been friendly even when I brought my children.

Best banana pancakes, they really hit the spot. This place is great!!

Great place for a hot meal and some fresh coffee. Not sure, but seems the owner is super popular in town. This establishment must be good and so supported for a reason. We are new to town but this place felt like our hometown diner. Keep the good work!

I haven't been here in maybe 20 years, I like the look. Great service! The atmosphere was that of a hometown diner, of course. I had the unique and very tasty shredded homemade corned beef hash with eggs, home fries and toast, combo priced right, and Frank's Red Hot available. Everyone seemed happy and made the experience even better. A vintage diner that has been part of Middletown for over 60 years. Main Street Middletown has many outstanding restaurants, none better then the Ford News, everyone needs to try this place.

If you want a classic diner, this is the place. Good food, good atmosphere, great coffee. Many locals at the counter for breakfast, visitors warmly welcomed also. If I was here more than overnight I would have returned a second time.

Cool little diner. Staff was very friendly and the food came out super fast. It was fresh and hot and cooked right in front of my face. It felt like eating a home cooked breakfast and the prices are beyond fair. This place was great. Make sure you try the home fries they are great, cooked with peppers and onions. There was even an old man in there sleeping at his table with a news paper which gave it the home town diner feel that I love so much ! Great little spot loved everything about it !!

We visited this diner during a family trip to Middletown based on its 4.7 Google rating, but it was definitely a letdown. From the minute you walk in you notice cramped and uncomfortable, the space is. Because of how narrow it is there's barely room to move between tables & the counter when the seats are occupied. Alot of excuse me's were heard. While the owner was friendly and clearly a local favorite, the food didn’t deliver. Ordered the steak & eggs and it came small, overcooked and underwhelming, the coffee tasted like gas station brew, and drinks were served in cheap plastic cups. Yes those disposable red ones(see pic) My wife’s meal was just as forgettable, and only the French fries for our daughter were decent. Not sure how this place earned such high reviews — we wouldn’t recommend it.

Local dive occupied by unfriendly patrons. Bar seats are hard and uncomfortable set in what feels like a railroad car. Most tables are for two. We left without ordering, after unwelcome service.

Worst mistake ever was going to Ford News! I even felt like Google reviews are never to be trusted! We did go in the peak hours on a Sunday, but they got our order wrong with burnt chocolate chip pancakes and potatoes! They even brought someone else’s order on to our table and took it away when they realized it wasn’t ours! Not even a refill of coffee was offered! Such a disappointment, when looking at Google reviews!!!
