A 70’s feel paired with modern deliciousness. The traditional diner booths with the printed pattern mirrored glass panels pulls you back in time. Traditional style waitress and quick wit waiters gives you a good laugh. High quality, food with lots of flavor instead of the bland food coming out of competitor kitchens. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner you just cannot go wrong. Fantastic omelets, perfectly poached eggs, and fried eggs – all fantastic. Onions in the fried breakfast potatoes with salt and seasoning (yum). Pastrami and Philly cheese steaks to die for that by default comes with the works. Onion rings that take you back in time….
Fresh baked cookies and a fully stocked fresh goods bakery display, so tempting , so gooood!!!

Another good one here! This is a consistent diner my brother frequents. He brought me when I came into town. It’s been around close to 50 years. The waitress was attentive and cute which always helps! They have seating for a bunch of people. Eggs were perfectly over easy and the coffee was hot. When you finish up, their selection of desserts is impressive.

Me and my girlfriend decided to try the 76 diner and we both got the turkey dinner with french fries and gravy and cranberry sauce. I have to say that dinner was excellent The turkey was moist the french fries were Nice and crispy the gravy was tasty The staff was friendly. The food was prompt we didn’t wait more than 10 minutes so I have to say everything was excellent. Will definitely be returning to the 76 diner.

First time to 66 Diner and we can’t believe we waited this long to try it. By FAR the best diner in the Capital Region! Got the very best pastrami Reuben I’ve had in years! The onion rings were perfectly crispy and not at all greasy.
This diner is everything the big diner in North Greenbush dreams of being. Great service, excellent food. We’ll be back soon. It will take a long time to eat our way through the huge menu. A real gem in Latham. Lunchtime was busy with fellow Boomers on a 7 degree winter day. Very clean. The decor is dominated by an incredible wealth of silk flowers and silk plants. Garish, but hey, it’s a diner! Get over it !

Authentic East Coast diner experience with friendly staff and a staple breakfast menu. The atmosphere and fixtures of the diner are a blast from the past, which adds to the charm. We went about midday on a Sunday and there was a bit of a wait, but chose to sit at the counter. Eggs benedicts are our specialty, and these eggs benedicts were decent for diner food. The portion size was appropriate for the cost also.

Came with a party of 8 on a Sunday morning and they got a table ready for us right away. Our waitress was very friendly and prompt. Too many breakfast items ordered to list them all but they included, eggs, chocolate chip pancakes, Bloody Mary, hash eggs Benedict to name a few and everyone was happy with their few. The decor is dated like early 90’s but most diners are. Would definitely recommend.

Wow. The quality of the food reminds me of… the very worst possible middle school lunch you ever had— except somehow worse than that. The one thing they did well was the single piece of French Toast, but that’s pretty hard to screw up. The lighting is all either LED or fluorescent and glaring. The service was admittedly very good and friendly. I would not ever come here again. Not if it were the only option and I were starving.

I used to love this place but recently it just seems to have gone down in quality. My partner and I went in tonight for dinner and were shocked by the inattentiveness of the staff and the quality of the food, especially as two people who work in the restaurant industry. We received our drinks and put in our order relatively quickly after being sat, but after that our server disappeared and our food didn’t come out for quite a while. By the time it arrived we had realized our food had likely been sitting in the window for a while based on the lukewarm quality and by the fact that it was not our server who brought it. Side note: I ordered the big breakfast with french toast and only received one slice of french toast, which seems very odd. We ate our food and wanted to get dessert but we still didn’t see our server. We sat at the table waiting for her for a while until eventually my partner decided he needed to get back to work and we should just head out. We went up to the front to ask for our bill when our waitress appeared with it in her pocket. It was over $50 bucks for bad food and also a small amount of it. Had we seen our waitress earlier we would have bought two slices of cake and maybe had a better experience, but overall this was a letdown, especially from such an area staple.

Very friendly service, food is always good here. Chicken pot pie was very good first time I have had it here.
Update to previous post, the sliced roasted turkey is very good, there was enough for 2 people. Comes with a choice of soup or salad, I chose the baked potato and mixed vegetables. Comes with stuffing and cranberry sauce and sour cream.
