Ashley was our waitress and gave us fantastic service . If you’re feeling hungry my recommendation is The French Toast Deluxe with a side of home fries. The place was sparkling clean. Overall a cozy place for a nice meal with family/loved one.

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.

This is my go to diner in the nabe. They are consistently very good with occasional brushes of excellence. Hey, it’s a diner! My lady and I go here for breakfast when the mood urges and we are already going out for the day. The coffee is very good and the staff come by for frequent refills. Good burger and the fries also very good.

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.

Came in from out of state to visit my parents it was close and we love diner food so decided on Carmel diner. It was dingy but small town so I looked past that. Waiter was kind but when my moms salad came the chicken was not fully cooked through, we HATE sending food back lol but undone chicken is not something you can look past. We showed the waiter and apologized for any inconvenience and asked for it to be sent back, my mom was grossed out so decided on a waffle instead. He said it wasn’t an issue and took it back. When it was time to go my dad paid the bill and left a tip as we were leaving he realized they charged for the untouched undercooked chicken salad so he went in and spoke to the manager/owner (the older women with glasses) she refused to refund the cost of the salad and was not nice about it at all (which I expected here in NY ) my dad came out upset feeling totally shocked with how he was treated when asked about the nasty raw chicken salad… If you can look past raw chicken and like being treated less than, this your place to dine!

Maybe I was unlucky and just ordered the wrong item, but it’s deterred me from wanting to try anything else here again. I have unironcally had tv dinners of better quality (and about $17 cheaper). Ordered the meatloaf with corn and mashed potatoes, everything tasted very mid but I highly recommend NOT getting the corn. I don’t know HOW you mess up corn to a point where it’s.. chewy??

This is another of my super family friendly home spots. So CD is not the best spot for breakfast IMHO..but they are for pretty much everything else! MUST haves include outstanding homemade Matzoball soup. (This is the one to beat..nothing in Westchester or Putnam is close) Truly yummy bakery sweets and their hot chocolate is also rather special. Nice people..good service. They have a rather large fish tank right in front which is cool.

Had the Cajun burger. Was pleasantly surprised. It seemed like a hand made patty not a prepackaged hockey puck. If I’m ever in the area I would go again.
