The Milton diner
Solid locally owned diner. Great food and the option to have a cocktail with your omelet sounds great (even though I don't drink). The only thing keeping this from being a true five star rating is that eating area is extremely small. While that adds to the charm, it can take awhile to get a table, but it's worth it.
TL;DR: Mediocre diner. Not the worst, certainly far from the best. Best for older people or those with no need for flavor or enjoyment while they eat. Expect a tight fit when the outdoor seating is unavailable. Seems like the place recently lost a good cook or otherwise lost direction. I cannot understand why people are 5 star reviewing when even their fairly recent photos are showing the similar quality foods that you see at the college dining facilities, and we're paying a moderate price for an average portion! Some places will season their eggs, or their potatoes, or even their meats, but the omelette I received felt oddly watery. Its a shame the place without the outdoor seating becomes crowded and cramped. Coffee is nice, and is served in an actual mug instead of a smaller diner mug (this means you get more, but it stays hotter for longer). People seem to love this place for a reason but I dont think its there anymore. Im willing to try again if the place turns around!
This place is a real gem! You know that you are in a local diner when there are Polaroid photos of the regulars framed on the walls. Very affordable and great value. Big portions - the side pancake was bigger than the platter that it came on! For $0.65, they stuffed the pancake with so many blueberries! It was 50% purple! I bet they were even local blueberries! We each got a Benedict and my corned beef Benedict was amazing. The yolks were golden and thick and it was not too salty. My wife got the two crab cake Benedict and even though I am a Maryland crab cake snob, they were legit! The staff gave genuinely friendly local service. I hope we get to return to this cute little diner on our way back to the airport in Burlington, Vermont!
$29 for a menued breakfast add an egg and $5 for 3 slices of bacon. Food wasn’t even seasoned. Hands down the worst breakfast experience I’ve ever had. Wildly expensive for what you’re served. With tip, $40 for a single person. Greedy, this is why supporting local business is dying because owners are greedy.
What a cute little home-town diner! It's small but quaint! Very homey with pictures of their beautiful children on the walls. The waitresses made you feel like part of the family! And the food was to die for! So delicous! Home cooking at its very best! And it was fast! I can't wait to go again!
Cute lil greasy spoon option in Milton, VT. I enjoyed my French toast a lot and thought the price was worth the hearty portions given. The restaurant itself is a little small so expect to wait a bit before getting a table. In addition, I thought some of the options on the menu were sort of limited but I would go back again definitely if we were in the area!
Wonderfull, friendly hostess and delivers the food hot and fresh. This place looks very family friendly and from looking around I saw some older folks that looks like they come often so the food is good . I would recommend this place for a good bite..Oh quick tip order the Blue Berry Pancakes they put the entire blueberry tree in 1 each Pancake absolutely 💯 DELICIOUS 😋 😀 👌🏾.
Small place, and kind of the middle of nowhere from what I could tell, but worth the drive. The food was rich and delicious, and I definitely left satiated. Good prices for what you get. Do recommend!
Phenomenal food and friendly service in a family atmosphere. An absolute must visit if youre visiting in the area!
Long ahh line
Everything a small town diner should be! Generous and tasty portions, friendly service, and local patrons.
Really good food had a great time and they have plenty of parking and room for folks to enjoy their meal
It was a great breakfast, they are always hopping. Still have outdoor seating but only open till about 1 pm
A lot of tables and booths for the sq. ft.. understandable..no lines..and hostess/host staggered seating. Young crew that were well trained and attentive
Very good food. Nice sitting outside on their deck having breakfast Food
Great spot for a quick meal with nice staff.
Delicious food, friendly staff. Nice ourdoor seating on deck.
Excellent food great staff
We had a very good breakfast at Milton Diner. First time eating there and we will be back. Food was great, price very reasonable and the staff weee all attentive and very nice.
If you like a local diner with nice staff and good simple food, visit this diner. We enjoy this place regularly and are never disappointed.
Good breakfast. Generous bacon portion.
I love this place. My wife and I eat breakfast here almost every sat/Sunday. The owners and staff treat both regulars and people just passing through like family. The fare is typical diner food with changing specials. Definitely go when you can... Food
Nice local dinner for breakfast and lunch
Frozen food
Verbally abusive owner to staff,some staff bullying other staff. Toxic. Will not be spending any more money there.
Friendly service & free WiFi. A real local treasure!
Wonderful local Diner. Great friendly service
Food always great and staff very friendly!!
A nice little family run diner. Damn good food, nice portion size and quick service.
The food wasnt bad, but the price was on the higher end, and when we got the bill we noticed everything was charged. Extra Mayo? 25 cents. I dont mind the extra but no heads up from server when we made the request. Other than that, the food wasnt bad.
Super cozy, local breakfast spot! Everything about our meal was delightful.
Ive lived in milton for 34 wicg is my whole life and this mornings breakfast was amazing!! The chef and staff are above and beyond!!!
Always good times at the diner - Saturday morning tradition. Great for kids and in nicer weather the outdoor patio is the place to be. The biscuits and gravy are amazing.
Three stars only because of our experience today. We are locals, have enjoyed this restaurant for years, and think the food is great, especially for the price. Today, being the new year, a promotion was being advertised as $15 for a breakfast dish and a mimosa. My family and I decided to go today, merely because of this advertisement. We enjoyed our food and drinks, experienced great customer service and overall had a nice experience Until we received our bill. Apparently, we did not qualify for the promotion. I wasn t sure why, so I went to the front and asked for them to adjust the bill to the $15 a person. I was told, oh sorry the specials aren t included in this promotion . Mind you, no where does it say this, so I responded with oh ok, we would have ordered off of the regular menu, as we dine here frequently . No effort was made to adjust our bill, even though it doesn t state this anywhere, and the special dishes we ordered were the same cost as our usual orders. Overall, disappointed in the unwillingness to adjust our bill, especially on the first day of the promotion and a holiday. Additionally, we recommend stating that specials aren t included in this promotion on your menus so future customers don t get surprised like us. We will likely continue to dine here, but felt like it was appropriate to give feedback regarding this experience. Thank you
Nice little diner. Inexpensive, polite service, and got our food pretty quick. Was tempting to order a second round but we had to get going. Most likely we will go there again!
These folks who run the Milton Diner are top notch. Food = 5 star. I would go every day but my cardiologist may not like it.
New owners but the food is bland and nothing to brag about. Its ok for milton vermont. It sure wouldnt survive south of colchester as its very basic.
Great place. Wonderful staff. I keep going.
Daily specials are great
Five stars. Came by on a blustery winter morning after a company party with a hangover that some may describe as not even this bacon can help me now but sure enough the pancakes were dreamy, I ordered the sausage links so I could roll them into the pancakes like lil breakfast piggies in a blanket, chugged some apple juice and what do you know! I lived to post this review. Definitely recommend.
Excellent food and service. Shelaine was an awesome server. The BLT and onion rings were top notch!
Despite how busy it was on a Sunday morning the staff were friendly and the restaurant was efficiently run so the wait wasnt too long. Food was good and when I got the wrong order they quickly fixed it. Will definitely go back.
Original review: Great Family Owners, Great Food, Great Atmosphere. Updating as of 04/07/2023, The place has changed hands 2-3 times since my last visit, the food isnt as good used to be. Meat tastes frozen and thawed instead of fresh never frozen, and the soup tasted as if it were the canned stuff from the local supermarket. Service was well paced for the large crowd inside, and food was very hot, but just know, sides are ordered separately and nothing is served as a whole meal, expect at least $15-20 per person when eating here.
Great little diner. Delicious comfort food and drinks. Friendly service. Highly recommend bringing your appetite as portions are generous!!!
Food was great!
I always have and I will come to this diner, even with the new owners I very much enjoy the food, especially breakfast. Cannot wait to try their dinners soon! 10/10 since childhood.
Id never been there before, but I went with family and friends who had. We went there for breakfast, and it was absolutely delicious! I had the sweet Italian sausage hash with eggs over easy and a side of bacon, with GF toast. The service was fantastic and everyone was so nice and accommodating. I thought the prices were reasonable. We spent $126 for 6 people, including tax. I will definitely go there again, maybe for dinner next time!
Friendly service. Parking: Paved parking with lines. Food : 5/5 |
No waiting, food was good and the staff was very kind.
Great breakfast, Ive been here twice. Delicious caprese benedict the first time and eggs/hashbrown/ham the second. Attentive service, delicious food and a diner atmosphere.
Small diner with delicious food and great portions. Staff friendly and service was great.
Looking for a last-minute reservation the morning after a large family wedding on a busy Sunday morning. These folks were able to organize a table for ten in about 30 minutes. Excellent food, excellent service!! Thanks everyone!!!! The Burns Family. Food
Great food and people around.
The food is great.. The staff is pleasant and friendly and always smiling.. The atmosphere is a down home cozy feeling I love that place Food : 5/5 |
True diner experience.
The breakfast here is good. You shouldnt leave hungry, the servings are plenty. The restaurant itself is very clean. Ive never been there when its not busy
Had breakfast, a little confusion with the order, no worries, friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere, nice local family dinning place. Great for an affordable quick breakfast to get your day going.
Got the biscuits and gravy and the corned beef hash. Very good food very quick too. Even better, the music playing was fantastic. Good place to stop for a good quick breakfast. Will be going back.
BEST DINER IN VERMONT! The prices are relatively fair, but the servings are HUGE and SCRUMPTIOUS beyond taste Buda. I recommend any dish!
Food was cooked perfectly enjoyed.The waitresses were wonderful!
Food is delicious and waters are nice Kid-friendliness: The waters Food : 5/5 |
This diner is classic small town Vermont, small town America. Its exactly what a place called a diner should be.
Excellent and very friendly staff.
I really enjoyed the food and the service was fast and friendly. Ill definitely be back.
The new owners are fantastic. Very clean. Great service. Breakfast was the best. Awesome food and place. Prices are very good
good food, reasonable prices. pleasant people . Well be back.
Very good food great service
Nice old-fashioned Family Diner wheres good simple food and friendly service. It was closed for a while, but its open again under a new ownership.
The diner was slamming when we went for breakfast, but they did a great job keeping up. Definitely would recommend and are sure to back!
First visit since they reopened, amazing service for how busy they were. Highly recommend!!
Nice!
Delicious Breakfast. 3 pancake and meat at good price ( 10$) Pancake fries homemade with real syrup
Coffee was cold, pancakes were about half batter, and I had ants crawling on me by the end of the meal. Food was very medium flavor-wise even if it were properly cooked.
Good Breakfast, Good Service, Very Clean
Best breakfast Ive had in years! First visit on Saturday morning and the service and food were amazing. The menu is not deep, but what they have is the best. It was a late breakfast for 2 of us so we ordered an omelette and eggs Benedict for each other and split blueberry pancakes. It was a lot of food, but so worth it. Stop in, you wont be disappointed.
Modest exterior hides a gem of a family style diner. Excellent quality food with pleasant servers. Definitely recommend making this a regular stop in Milton!
Great food, great prices!
The food was good. Service was a little on the slow side. Too bad the creamee stand wasnt open. The food quality is a lot better now there is new owners of the diner. Prices are very reasonable there.
Service was very good. Food was average. My biggest complaint was I was going to be charged for a refil of iced tea. Inflation has been hard for everyone but especially seniors, who are on a fixed income. I have never heard of being charged for a drink refil. I WILL NOT RETURN TO THIS RESTAURANT FOR THIS REASON.
Had a great breakfast and server. Had there pancakes but have to ask for additional syrup.
Food. Was . very. Good. Service. Was great. Got there. At. 115. . closing at. 200pm. Got food. Staff telling. Us. Not rush. Even they wanted to go home after. A long. Day Kid-friendliness: Kids menu Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp
Fantastic food and service as always !!
We had a great lunch/breakfast at the Milton Diner. The eggplant fries were amazing!The owners and staff are super attentive and welcoming. I definitely would recommend eating here as the chef, Aaron, takes great pride in the preparation of his meals.
this place was so awesome
A very nice diner. Excellent service. Friendly and professional. Very busy because of its great reputation. Outdoor seating on the deck can add to your experience have a great meal
UPDATE: Milton diner has done a complete 180 since the new owners have taken over. Service was much better, food is great, and its very affordable compared to some other options in the area. ORIGINAL: Took 20 minutes to order, people often stood by the door waiting to be greeted. Wasnt necessarily the servers fault as she was the only one waiting on the entire place. However more time seemed to be spent on regulars that they conversed with and overall received faster service. Food came out quickly after ordering, server did not check in on us during the meal. Overall, slow service and OK food. Dont think we would go back.

Had a great breakfast today, 9/16/22. Wonderful fluffy omelet, fresh, not frozen, home fries, fantastic wheat toast. Excellent service from the friendly staff.
Tried this place again today. Had a much better meal than a few years ago. I will definitely go back.
Always a good breakfast anytime.
Great service, very tentative. The food was spot on and tasty. Well priced and solid portions.
Great new owners. Service was super; especially since it was so crowded.
Hi folks. Very good breakfast and service. It was quite and I could visit with my wife while eating my breakfast. So all in all I give 2 thumbs up. I will eat their again soon. Hope to see you their.
Best burger I have had in a long time! Fast friendly service too!
Friendly place and clean. I can see why they are still doing great business even during the pandemic.
Very cozy atmosphere. Very friendly staff and great food!
They do ice cream very very well! I want to like the food and go support the Milton Diner more. they have very friendly staff who are very accommodating.
Good little diner, lady running around by herself needs help, but stood at door almost 10 minutes before she even acknowledged him... Food was good.
This place is no good, no good service and no good food. The mild chicken wings are way too spicy to eat and they blame the customer for that. Never seen such a worthless place.
Great food and good service.
Got there within 45 mins of closing, closed at 8pm and the food was really good, fast and hot. Not too busy so we were able to eat there without a reservation like some big chain restaurants in our area. The staff was really good and they took good care of us.
Food was excellent.
I ordered bacon cheese burger with cheddar medium rear. Got well done with american cheese instead. Wife had turkey dinner which she said was not fresh.
Great breakfast
Terrible service was bad waited in line for 10 minutes to be told the ice cream machine is broken
Food was delicious and service was great
Wanted this to be an amazing place to eat, but the service was terrible. Waited for about 20 minutes before we were even able to sit down, we sat outside and waited another 30 minutes with no one in sight, finally I went in to ask if I could place my order at the counter so we could get things moving, the lady said she didnt know we were sitting out there. I am guessing the lady who said we could sit out there never told the waitress for outside. Food was good, but not worth the wait. I was really hoping to leave an excellent review but service fell short. We even had to go in to get the bill, no one ever came out to check on us. It was kind of terrible really.
Best soft serve of my life.
We got there right when they opened. Service was good and so was the food. Great amount for the price. For the people complaining about service, keep in mind people are getting paid to stay home instead of work. Dont expect things to be perfect.. support local businesses as best you can. Dont bash them over one thing when theyre doing the best they can given this situation...
We have had Dine In, Take Out, and Delivery. Our family everytime we dine with them have had an excellent experience. The staff is very welcoming and are very respectful and polite. The prices are very reasonable. Everytime its complements to the CHEF! Thank you for your excellent and generous hospitality.
Great service!! Everything that came out of the kitchen looked amazing. Burgers are delicious and the fresh cut fries to die for.
Very disappointed with the Hot turkey at $13.95 Never have I been served a Hot turkey sandwich with slice of white bread cut up another slice of bread with a huge serving of mushy stuffing, topped with one thin slice of deli turkey, covered with canned gravy. You used to serve real turkey ... Very disappointed..
Had a maple creemee with chocolate sprinkles. Yum! Inexpensive too!
Always stop and get ice cream here
Food and service was great. Recommend the blueberry pancakes with maple syrup. Coffee was really nice. Nice outdoor space and well priced.
Yikes
Never open.
Great breakfast, reasonable prices
Stopped for a late breakfast. Was fine, but not special. One waitress for whole place and she was doing just fine--but the place could use at least two. We are tolerant about the no-wanna-work ethic taking America over by storm. Probably will go again
Best breakfast in town!
Food was good and diner-y but the staff wasnt the friendliest. It wasnt that they were rude or anything, it was more of a Im tired and dont want to be here right now vibe.
Standard diner fare. Server was very nice and attentive. Corned beef hash was NOT made in house, came from a can.
I just want to say even though there was 1 cook and 1 waitress and had a full house when I got there with my grandson...They rocked...did such a great job for being short handed...Great Job To The Crew....
Fast friendly service
Hot, tasty and well priced. We stopped for breakfast and had a great omelet. Good coffee too.
Nice variety of diner food. The service was good and the food tasty. Recommended.
Fast, friendly service and the food is always good. If you want a place to visit where the locals go, this is the place. You need to get there early because it fills up quick.
Nice that it is open again!!! Place was very clean and waitress was very nice and helpful!! Food was very good too!!
Great food, and quality service
Nice people and seem to be taking it up a step under new ownership. Got curbside take out this morning and the owner offered my coffee for free because he only had small cups. A seemingly small gesture but during these hard times for restaurants very nice and appreciated. Thanks again.
Picked up lunch. Nobody else was there. Ordered a Michigan and fried fish Pattie sandwich. Received just the plain fish Pattie. Pretty disappointed. Sweet potato fries were incredibly soggy. I understand the whole quarantine struggle but I was not expecting this at all. Heard great things online but next time Ill just go to McDonalds or something. Drove 25 minutes for that. At least the creemee was good.
Fantastic ice cream and milkshakes!!!
Ive only bee there once, but I think it was the best breakfast I ever had. When I get to northern Vermont again, Ill be there!
Amazing Icecream!!
Service was extremely slow called ahead was told 30 mins took 40 to get there and still waited almost a half hour
The order was wrong but the food was still good for what it is!
The best ice cream sundaes for people and dogs.
My wife and I stopped in for a ice cream. We both got s brownie Sunday. Well worth the price for the size, a d service. A.Bessette
Great outdoor seating, Friday night music was awesome. Food was incredible and you do not leave hungry at all. Definitely recommend.
I brought my daughters here for ice cream. We waited for about 15 minutes in the double drive thru. This place was packed but the staff had smiles on their faces and got the orders out as fast as they could. It was definitely worth the wait because we got monster sized ice cream cones!!! We will definitely be coming back in the future.
Great little diner with nice staff and a creemee stand with tons of delicious options!
Excellent ice cream cones. Heard a lot of hype about this and figured it was worth a stop. Each ice cream special could probably feed 2-3 people but its hard to want to share. Heaping portions of ice cream with a delicious cone, many toppings, and a tube do squeeze more of the toppings from. Definitely awesome for all ages. Their normal stuff looked good too. Great variety of specials, sundaes and cones.
Delicious food, pleasant wait staff.
Always has the best food. Great service and the ice cream is delicious.
Great eats!
I stood by counter for 20 minutes. I asked if the bathroom was accesible before I decided if I would bring my kids into to eat. I was ignored by the lady at the counter an older woman. This place had bugs crawling I noticed while waiting on counter cockroaches most likely. I would not eat here unless you want a side of cockroaches
Everything a local dinner should be. Good food, great service.
Nice atmosphere. Nice breakfast but a little pricey.
Best lobster mac in the state.
Best tasting creemees Ive had
Update your freaking hours. Drove out of my way to eat here and you were closed.
Giffords ice cream! Nuf said.
Went there for breakfast, food was okay. Service was great. I kinda felt like an outsider as there were lots of regulars there.
Good food always even when busy.
Good diner, good food, they are out of certain foods half of the time. I know that is probably not entirely their fault.
Ways love coming here.....for years now ! I moved to VT. In 2009 and I have always loved coming here for breakfast or lunch and even dinner !!!! They are now under new ownership but so far doesnt seem to be affecting the quality of anything, except I do notice not as many desserts but still good ones , the ones they do have!! Itd be a 5 if it hadnt changed ownership. The blonde waitress that has been there forever is an absolute sweetheart and will always be attentive and heartfelt...not something you always get with a server.....all in all I like it there a lot personally.
Great place good food good staff always friendly
Great food and reasonable prices
This place has best breakfast in town!!! Staff always friendly
