The only positive about this place is the nice people; they treated us great. When I first walked in, there was a bad smell but decided to give this place a chance. This diner started in the 1940s and it looks like they haven’t updated anything since then.
There was a baby in a car seat almost in the kitchen but not quite (I understand working parents but I don’t want dirty diapers anywhere near my food). The food we got didn’t cost much, but it was barely passable. The chocolate chip pancakes were dry and I honestly could’ve made instant pancakes myself for the same quality at home. The sunny side up eggs we got may have been the best part, they were real eggs and cooked properly. I’m almost positive the “home fries” we got were frozen ones that they threw in a microwave. And the bacon was very mediocre, it just didn’t have a lot of flavor. I was also fighting off a large fly for part of the time I was trying to eat. Another thing I noticed was an open orange juice container in an unrefrigerated area that sat there untouched the whole time. This place really does not inspire confidence that the kitchen and food are clean.
Overall I will never eat here again unless there are drastic changes. The food was worse than the food I could make at home (and I’m no Gordon Ramsay) and I’m not completely sure my food was even prepared clean. It seems like the owners just don’t the care about the place which is a shame because it could be a very nice diner with an old school vibe, but right now it just seems like an old, rundown dump. Enter at your own risk.

My wife and I have been going to Family Diner for years. It’s a great place to get some good, affordable, home-style food, with a casual atmosphere, you can just be yourself. The owner and his staff are very friendly and treat you like family. I pray it will be around for many, many years!

well…. me and my brother used to eat here every weekend and the food was always good. we always referred to it as “the dirty diner” and we meant that as a compliment because we’ve always believed the dirtier the restaurant the better the food. this place has been around for a long time. and their food is great. their sausage is good,their corned beef hash. good coffee,good service,decent prices….. but the last time we went in there about 3/4 the way of eating the eggs we realized they were moldy….. so we havent gone back since. its a shame…. i really liked them. but i just get sick to my stomach even THINKING about going back. it really is a shame. but if that didnt happen…… i would’ve given them 5 stars.

It was ok. I dont think they are above a 4. I had a patty melt. The burger was pretty small and covered in half cooked onions. The bread was soggy on the bottom. They added tomatoes which I think made it too wet. The place is ok, not great not horrible.

Breakfast is excellent, better than Silver Star and Post Rd diner in Norwalk; but other customers can be very annoying.
If you can stand some loud and extremely obnoxious patrons, I highly recommend this place over Silver Star and Post Rd for their food.

I haven’t been here for a long time but Dawn made me feel right at home. My meal looks exactly like it does in the stock picture. I had a great time.
