The menu offers a wonderful variety of options for all tastes. The presentation was elegant and appetizing.
The flavors blended beautifully in every dish. It was a true culinary delight
The restaurant offers a perfect blend of traditional and contemporary dishes. The staff made us feel like valued guests.
I had a chef salad with ranch dressing, and my wife had the Belgian waffle. My chef salad was more than enough for one person and was extremely fresh. The deli meats looked as if they had been freshly sliced and rolled. There was more than enough meats in the salad to make a sandwich with. As you can see from the photo my wife had already finished 1/4 of her waffle by the time I took the photo of my chef salad. She said the waffle was extremely tasteful and filing. She literally destroyed it in no time. The waiter kept the coffee flowing and very pleasant and professional.
Just had the best turkey and mashed potatoes. Made me think of going to my Grandmothers when I was school age. Beyond delicious.
Thank you for a great meal and great service. Is this new ownership? Seems so different in a good way. All the best of luck. Mike
Food was freshly prepared by chef with fresh ingredients. I ordered a vegetarian omelet with Swiss cheese and home fries. Also, the coffee was excellent. I'll probably come back again! Great service!
Went in for a sandwich, and I decided on a gyro. I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness of all the ingredients. Service was spot on. I thought I’d have some room for desert but was full from my order. My server was very attentive. Great job.
This diner delivers a delicious meal. Their gyro and souvalki combo was prepared well and plentiful. The Chicken was moist and taziki sauce nice and tangy. The grilled salmon was cooked to optimal temperature and Brussel sprouts were sautéed and tender. Our meals came with soup or salad. The seafood bisque had plenty of shrimp. If you have an opportunity to be in Carmel, this diner will be happy to serve you a delicious meal. The attention and service by wait staff is above average! Thank you!
The Carmel Diner was easy to find (we were coming from Danbury) and there was ample parking. Our server Jimmy was friendly, attentive, and patient with our special requests. The four of us were very happy with our food. My Carmel Salad was delicious, and my sister's Taco Salad with steak was just great. The wait was a bit longer than expected, but the meal was worth it. Give it a try!
I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was here. It tasted better than just your typical diner. Pancakes were large, buttery and soft, same goes for the french toast. County fried chicken was delicious with the sausage gravy and chicken and waffle was great with a perfectly fried piece of boneless chicken breast paired with a buttery waffle. Would come back.
Classic hometown feeling Diner in the middle of the Carmel Hamlet with great food, service & comfy booths. Ample parking on the side and rear of the Diner which is located less than 2 minutes walk to scenic Lake Gleneida.
Well stocked fish tank, could have used some live plants. Food and service very good.
Food was decent and service was quick and super nice
Had the hearty seafood bisque which was delicious and had plenty of chunky seafood. Had the stuffed peppers with Greek potatoes - shocked at how perfectly prepared it was. Also the New Orleans chicken salad, tea and warm apple pie which smelled as scrumptious as it tasted. To top it off, our server was soooooooo attentive. What a pleasure. Didn’t have to ask for anything twice, brought the food out in a timely manner and always with such a warm smile.
It's a diner nothing else. $60 breakfast for 2
Been coming to the Carmel diner for almost a year, it all depends who's working. Two weeks ago we brought our grandchildren for dinner and from the time we walked in, to the time we finished, it was as I call a management disaster. We walked in at 6:10pm and finally walked out at 8:15pm. An hour and a half to get our food and of course they forgot my food and had to wait. And to add to this mess, the place may have had only ten to twelve tables. The place is usually slow with the kitchen staff preparing the food. But when the bosses son is running this place, you would think that he would worry about the kitchen instead of watching his servers and how to run the front. And not he first time with this guy, Just doesn't get it.
Review edit after second chance: it took almost 50 mins to receive food and we never recieved water or coffee refills even after asking twice. The servers were however very kind and the atmosphere was wonderful. The food however leaves much to be desired. Both times i ate here i was very disappointed and when i ordered thick cut bacon with my eggs i recieved what appeared to be pan fried spam.
