READERS' REVIEWS OF VERNON DINER:

*****KA from Boston, MA, says:
I grew up in the town over and ALWAYS came to the VD on days when we had delayed school openings because of snow or after concerts/a movie. In the 20 years that I lived in the area, I've never gotten anything but their breakfast food. Pretty standard diner fare, but delicious none the less. Blueberry pancakes are always my go to. The place gets loud, especially at night with drunken kids filling the place up after a party, but the food is cheap and the service is quick. Just like every diner should be.

One of the best pumpkin pies I ever had!
Too bad they don't make them year round.

*****Beldon from Windsor, CT and Framingham, MA, says:
Great for a diner may sound like a left-handed compliment, but it isn't. It can be crowded and noisy, but the food is as close to authentic NJ Diner fare and atmosphere as you can get. They do a brisk trade at all hours, but the food is solid (if uninspired), reasonably priced, and generously portioned. Breakfast available 24/7 is always a good bet.

*****JB from Manchester, CT, says:
The VD is a great little spot, although it is overshadowed a bit by its neighbor Rein's Deli. I can't say much about the entrees at the VD, but the club sandwiches are quite good. The breakfast is better than Rein's in my opinion, especially the b-fast potatoes. Omelets are top-notch.

*****Eric H. from Walpole, MA, says:
The Vernon Diner used to be a Howard Johnson's, but is much better than that "blast from the past" with the orange roof. With a menu that approaches the length of a Milton novel, the Vernon Diner has just about every type of popular breakfast, lunch, and dinner comfort food on the planet. We've been a few times and were impressed with the quality of the food as well as the service. Some of the meals we've enjoyed: baked stuff filet of sole florentine, Greek mousaka, Greek salad, and corned beef and cabbage.
The Vernon Diner is a nice dining choice when traveling on Route 84 in the Hartford area!
