Elm Street Diner

We drove all the way from Montreal in Canada 🇨🇦.

We loved our experience! Service was impeccable. Food was delicious. They have amazing staffs; very friendly and attentive. They went above and beyond. The staffs also gave us Maple Syrup samples from Vermont as a souvenir!

We’ll definitely come back!!

It's no surprise how busy this place was, but it was well worth it! The food, atmosphere, service, everything was amazing. Portions were well worth the price. Huge menu variety as well. There was a line out the door waiting to be seated, but again, worth it. We did an over 2 hour drive to check this place out, and we plan on doing it again.

Creative, and maximalist food; especially the dessert options. All the food tastes exactly how it looks… absolutely delicious.
There are no specific conditions for the waffle tower you can simply tell the waiter and they will create whatever you have in mind.
Wonderful staff and service especially considering we came near closing.
#1 dessert in CT

An absolutely fabulous experience! We had a large group and were seated quickly, despite the no reservations policy. Rafael, our server, was quick and efficient-- and kept the bottomless Mimosas FULL! Definitely go bottomless if you want more than two (even though the specialty cocktails are fantastic, especially the one with cotton candy). Food was hot, fresh, crispy, and delicious. They started us with a little amuse bouche of Nutella donuts. 100% worth the hype!

It was our first time here and it was a great experience. The food and service were great. Our waiter gave us a free slice of cake at the end of the meal. I highly recommend visiting.

I came here on the recommendation from my sister who has followed Elm Street Diner on instagram for 5 years and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The portions are huge, the food is delicious, and the staff are simply the best, so friendly. 10/10 I will come back here.

The food is delicious 🤤 I was so full but couldn't help myself. Service was great they were fast, friendly, and gave us a recommendation of this wrap shown and wow it's huge could definitely feed two or more. Bathrooms and place is clean they have a huge selection for deserts milkshakes great for birthday celebration my son loved his treat. Little pricey $21 for a milkshake but it fed everyone it wasnt your original milkshake it had donuts, candy, half a slice of red velvet cake, whipped cream, and they provided birthday candle

Great customer service. My husband had the chicken Parmesan vodka sauce wedge sandwich very flavorful.

All the portions are huge especially the social media ones.

I had the taco pancakes with pork belly - flavor left a little more to be desired, but was what was described.

Recommend social media waffles and chicken - fried chicken very moist.

They take awhile to bring the food out but if that means it’s fresh it’s worth it.

Social media milkshakes -cake shake - is pretty cool - must have for birthday!! Everyone can grab a dessert off of it and share.

Our waiter was patient, friendly and very attentive.

About 20 minute wait on a rainy Saturday at 3:00pm.

Had an amazing meal here recently. Packed and busy, but the service was still fast and friendly. All the food we ordered was beyond delicious and cooked perfectly. Nothing was greasy or salty. It was superb and flavorful. My dinner was one of the best meals I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The milk shake for dessert was incredible. The milkshakes look just like they do in the online photos. Our waiter created an unbelievable milkshake of cakes and cookies. The rainbow cake in the shake was so so good. It looked amazing and was the best milk shake I’ve ever tried. Thank you!! Greatest diner I’ve ever been to!

Great food,Great Service and the place was very clean me and My Grandfather had a nice experience and will come back in the future.

I came from New York to try this place today after seeing it on social media, and OMG, this is one of the best places I have eaten hands down! We had the Short Rib Tator Tot Tacos, Spicey Vodka Chicken Parm, the Fettuccine Alfredo Chicken Parm, and the Short Rib Mac and Cheese Fries. They were all tasty and freshly made. The place was full, and the wait was about 20 minutes to be seated. They gave us complimentary donuts when we sat down, yum!! These are made by them, FYI. The food does take time to be made and come out, so you have to be patient, especially if you want a nice presentation it takes time people! The waiter we had was sweet, and the service was great! Very friendly staff! They are really busy here and it gets full fast. I see why because the food is really good! So again, you have to be patient and give them time to put together and bring you things. I am sure it's not easy to serve multiple people at the same time. They are so kind here that even with the inconsiderate people that show up at 2 pm on a Sunday when they are closing they still take them in and serve them. Great customer service! I will be coming here again and trying something different for my birthday! Thank you, I had a great experience and would give 10 stars if I could!

If you are looking for something crazy, then this is the place to visit. I ordered the WOW waffles and it was a tower with chocolate and candy on top of the waffles. The service of the waiters were very welcoming and they served us with kindness. It was very clean with a great atmosphere. If you are looking for something special, you should definitely stop here.

I had such a great experience here! The waiters were great! The food was amazing and I never felt like I lacked anything (coffee/water etc)!!

UNBELIEVABLE! Believe the hype!!! Took a ride from Queens NY just to have breakfast here. So many amazing choices. It had to be the hardest decision I had to make in a while when eating out! Definitely will be back to try other options.

Oh my, what food! HUGE portions, decadence all around, amazing tastes and combos... believe the hype. Want to return in the future to try more goodies!

If I could change things, it would be to get Google Maps to show TRUE entrance location (zero entry/parking in front; confusing to find the back); add pics to the menus so you get an idea since their creations aren't standard nor easy to picture; implement a better wait system for those trying to get in (simply asking how many in party but not taking names isn't efficient when several parties may have the same numbers - and it creates confusion when a later-arriving party of six gets called before several 2 and 3 parties. Plus, need benches, places to sit for 20-30+ min waits!)
Definitely an experience!

One of my bestfriend mentioned to me about this place. We were supposed to come here when we moved in our son to his College. Unfortunately, they were closed at that time so we decided to just bring my son for his 18th birthday yesterday. We came half hour before the closing time (and it was our mistake for not checking the hours) and I could see now why parking was hard to find around the area and why people would drive 2 hours or more just to come here. The line was looong. I was 100% sure that we will not be able to get in considering that it was really close to closing time but we made it!! Even if it was extremely busy, the staff worked very hard to give their customers 100% satisfaction. They were very attentive to us. The ginger ale we asked was less carbonated and little sweet but still will not be a reason for us to complain because the waiter fixed the issue, honored the drink to be replaced. Food, as you see have 100+% when it comes to presentation and plating...taste, my mouth happy, my belly happy! Huge portions...so be prepared to come there hungry. Nevertheless, each one of us had a take home. We were the last customer there and they didn't rushed us to leave which we were thankful. Environment clean, all staff were friendly and respectful. Will definitely come back again and highly recommend!

Instagram friendly food, really over the top French toast and waffles. It's quite the experience. Always packed for a reason. Parking is difficult. I'd recommend splitting orders with a friend, one order something sweet and the other something savory.

Several people sent me reels from that place so planned a trip from Toronto to NYC and Boston to include the diner.
Went on Monday morning when they just opened after renovations.
I’ve seen some people mentioned service but maybe because we were early but service was amazing. Guys working there were all friendly and helpful. Ordered birthday bowl milkshake for me and my son (our birthdays were a week before that and extended our celebration a bit 🥰).
Food was amazing! Portions are huge so was hard to eat it all.
Would love if they had sampler option on the menu to try several things at once, just saying.
Atmosphere was super nice. Would totally stop there again when in the area.

Drove from Jersey to experience what I always see on Instagram. It definitely lives up to its hype. Some of the tastiest lobster mac and cheese that I've ever had. The crazy cake shake is definitely worth sharing. So glad to patiently wait in that long line out in the hot sun for a table.

Great service, great food, and a very friendly atmosphere. The food is just as huge as seen on social media.
