6 Best Diners near Stanley

“Worth the drive off I-90!!My boss and I were driving back to Massachusetts from Buffalo. We were looking for a diner for breakfast, specifically. I saw the reviews for this place and pointed us in that direction. Halfway through the 15 or so minute drive, my boss asks "Where are you taking us?" I have to admit, I was wondering myself. It's a very "open" country. Lots of large fields and farms.We get to the place and we see a sign inside that says something to the effect of, "If you want fast, go to Denny's." That worried me a bit because my boss was already worried about our travel timeline but the place was packed, so I figured it had to be worth the wait.It took close to 10 mins to get someone to take our order but it was all absolutely worth it. Every single item we ordered was HOT off the griddle. My bacon was so hot (and I was so hungry) that I almost burned my tongue. The Belgian Waffle was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of strawberry topping. No more, no less. Everyone has their particular way of cooking home fries. Some places they're a bit soggy, others are over cooked. These were cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and well seasoned.The place isn't fast but hey, like they said, it's not Denny's. Their food blows the doors off anything I've ever gotten there. My boss declared "It was worth the drive off the highway! Our food was cooked where you could watch it being cooked and it was all excellent." She told me that if I wrote a review of the place to be sure to say it was worth the drive. Easily the best diner food I've had in some time and we spend a lot of time in diners.“

“Came for the Garbage Plate Breakfast Platter alone, and omg was I satisfied. I’m still trying to figure out what they put on their homefries. Honest to god the best seasoned and perfectly crispy home fries that I have ever had. My fiancé got the Eclipse Pancakes (it was eclipse day afterall!!) and the pancakes were deliciously huge and fluffy. Will definitely return on our next trip to the finger lakes. This is the perfect place to “Carb Up” before a day of wine tasting.Parking: Street parking only.“

“Patti, our server was engaging and funny. She made sure we had everything we needed, even spoons! She deserved a much larger tip than we left.“

“Everything was wonderful from the moment we walked in. This is a family-run business with genuine people who make delicious food. We’re from NJ and have high standards for diners and our experience was so wonderful. The coffee was excellent. Great for a quick stop among your travels in FLX!“

“Service was attentive, courteous, friendly! Food was hot, prepared very well, very tasty! Will return to try other items on the menu!“

“Love this place! Food is always good and portions are very generous. The beer battered fish fry is usually outstanding (we order it crispy). Staff is always friendly and efficient. Sunday we take our granddaughter there for breakfast or lunch. The waitress remembers us and our drink orders. The pancakes are HUGE! Better be hungry if you order a full stack!Met the owner (Brian) on our first visit and he was very personal with us. He gave the wife & I free dessert.“
