Do NOT go here! Don't do it to yourself or your family...went to ladies room to wash my hands as soon as we got there and there was no soap in the ladies room...sat down in my chair, found a dried blob of jelly on the back of my chair. Was not offered bread and butter that was supposed to come with meal, soup was greasy, a pack of crackers fell on the floor and she picked it up and put it in front of my daughter to eat. The waitress didn't refill drinks, only had 2 forks for 6 of us, scallops were so stringy I had to pry it ... read more

BEWARE!!!!! I went to The Colonie Diner tonight for dinner and got Chicken Vista which is a chicken breast stuffed with broccoli and mozz cheese. After eating 6-10 bites I noticed that the inside of the chicken breast was completely raw!!!!! I should have noticed sooner but was I was talking with my companion and didn't until I consumed about 1/4 of it. When I say raw, I mean completely RAW. The waitress took it back and I ordered a roast beef sandwich instead (which by the way I couldn't eat because I lost my appetite). Of ... read more

EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! – Here's an experience I had today at the Colonie Diner: I ordered a Rueben sandwich without the bread. I got the sandwich and it had no cheese, so the waitress brought it back to get the cheese. Well, I got the sandwich back with the cheese and a bonus, a nice black hair. By now, my waitress is fuming at the cooks. So now she tells me I'm getting a whole new order...Oh I got a whole new order, plus a DEAD FLY under the corned beef!!! Accident? You decide. I would've accepted the black hair being acc... read more

DONT EAT THERE – This has to be the worst place ever, I will never eat there again! When I walked in I noticed the place smelled like urine. It was so bad I complained to the staff and they told me it was the glue from them remodeling ?.. yeah ok! The soup was nasty, my sons spaghetti tasted like watered down ketchup and the meatball wasn?t even chewable. My mother and I both got the hot roast beef and the meet tasted like dog food. The mashed potatoes tasked like they were sour and when we complained the man at the desk sai... read more

Hits the spot! – Have been here twice in the past month. We are always seated promptly and the wait staff is friendly and polite. The menu has a lot to offer, so there will be something for everyone. Breakfast served all day!! YEAH!! The food comes quickly, the portions are generous, and everything is delicious. It's even decorated like an 50s diner, with chrome and neon lights. Some of the booths even have juke boxes. Good times! The only con I could think of was that some of the ceiling panels might need to be replaced... ... read more

For breakfast, lunch or dinner, this diner's a good bet for families on the go. – The Scene What diner would be complete without Formica, polished chrome, table jukeboxes and mirrors? Colonie Diner has it all, clean and gleaming from the staff's labors (although the building exterior is beginning to show its age). Moderately priced, this restaurant is a good alternative to fast food for families seeking a respite from the kitchen. The Food No one does breakfast better than diners do. Eggs are fluffy and the home fries are sp... read more
