Laurel Diner

We decided to venture out a bit and landed at Laurel Diner in Southbury… The food was fantastic and the service was even better. Pete, the chef, clearly knows his way around a grill, and the whole staff was incredibly friendly and personable — the kind of place where you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit. Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping in! 🍳

I have yet to meet a single human being or read an online review that has not absolutely RAVED about the Laurel Diner in Southbury, CT! Their extensive and appetizing bevy of breakfast options including pancakes, french toast, signature corned beef hash left me stymied on what to order first. How is one to decide on what to order when everything looks so good? My inner former chubby kid wished he could order it all.… which got my inner competitive eater thinking… if only they offered some kind of breakfast challenge that included all their finest food on a giant platter….. With such plotting and hungry inner voices working in tandem, I didn’t hesitate in reaching out to owners Peter and his wife Stephanie about creating a fun challenge to showcase some of their tastiest dishes.

This was my first time here. I ordered the apple fritters French toast and my friend ordered the Irish eggs Benedict. They were definitely busy, which obviously is a good thing. We waited for seats for about 20 minutes.. not too bad for Sunday. The food was good. The coffee was good. The place was super cute.

I had the homemade corned beef hash, and it was fantastic! Everyone in my family enjoyed what they ordered. Wish we lived closer because this would be my go to breakfast spot! Staff was friendly and courteous. There was a short wait for a table, but it was worth it!!!

Coffee and our breakfast was amazing, orange juice was ice cold and not warm like other dinners. I would strongly recommend you stop by and eat. Owners were very polite and friendly. The only one thing I would recommend is having a sign stating "please wait to be seated."
