We stopped here for breakfast on our way north and discovered a real gem! The Eggs Benedict were superlative. Perfectly poached with a sleek layer of hollandaise sauce in just the right amount, the eggs shone as the stars of the plate with a supporting cast of Canadian bacon on an English muffin. The best supporting role award goes to the home fries, alternately soft and crunchy, highlighted with sautéed red peppers and onions and well seasoned.Our server was incredibly friendly and efficient! We will definitely visit here again the next time we we are in the area.
Had breakfast here today and wouldnt return. Seems like your typical small town little group of folks operating the joint. Service was quick as they werent very busy. The only thing I finished was the bottled OJ. Undercooked french toast, undercooked pancake, cold sausage crazy with either old biscuits or someone cant make them. Not even the watery coffee could save the day.They seem well intentioned but they have a way to go.
I have been wanting to come here for a while now and I can’t even describe my disappointment. The service was extremely slow even though there were about 4 employees for 3 tables. This wasn’t an understaffed Covid issue. This was 4 employees standing around doing nothing. We even had to get up and ask for our check. The food was also extremely sub-par. My avocado omelette had 1 slice of avocado in it. I will not be back.
Thee best diner in the area!!!!! French toast is AMAZING, Burgers are beyond phenomenal! The owners are so welcoming and inviting and treat everyone who walks through the door like a regular, even if its your first time there. The waitresses Gianna and Joanna are the best. Cant say enough good things about this place. So happy they opened up. Definitely check Danas Diner out and make it a weekly thing!
Absolutely horrendous service at Dana’s this morning. We had to walk out. We waited 15 minutes for someone to come bring us menus, while several servers repeatedly walked past ignoring us. When we finally tracked someone down and asked for menus and ordered coffee, we waited another 15 minutes and it still hadn’t come. We had to ask a server if our coffee might be coming and still got ignored. We will NEVER be back.
This cute little place has a hidden side. Yes, you can get breakfast and burgers, but instead of frozen fried mozzarella sticks, how about freshly fried Brie? Or a thick, pressed Cuban sandwich? Homemade New England chowdah, chock full of juicy clams? Sfogliatella with a delicate lemony center? And a decent cup of joe. The owners are foodies, with the chef/husband a graduate of Johnson and Wales. And Dana graces the tables with her wit and repartee. Definitely a great find.
We went there on Father’s Day. I hope they hired more staff since. Unfortunately we didn’t get to taste the food because we were waiting for someone to approach us for 35 minutes.When I saw another family walking in and sitting themselves at the dirty table that was it for me.

2021-11-24We are regulars at Dana’s Diner but finally remembered to take pictures this time! Food is always excellent and I love recommending this restaurant to my customers. Pics are pulled pork sandwich, poached eggs over corned beef hash, and caramel apple French toast. Apples were superb!

2021-08-01Run, don’t walk to Dana’s Diner!! Incredibly delicious food in a warm & inviting setting. HIGHLY recommend the slow roast pork with broccoli rabe & provolone sando. I was going to take home leftovers, but it was so delicious there was nothing left to take home. We’ll be back very very soon.
