THIS IS WHAT DINERS ARE ALL ABOUT!!

Feb 2020 • none

I love authentic diners and this one is authentic from the actual antique Silk City construction to the meals. We got there just minutes before closing on a Sunday night (about 8:00 pm) but we were seated and still waited upon and served in a relaxed manner. All three of us had burgers with fries and we could want for nothing more as they were excellent diner burgers: thick, juicy, cooked as requested. The fries were perfectly done as well. The waitstaff was all that was needed: professional, tended to us as needed, and not at all rushing us even though it was the end of their shift. We'll be returning next time we're in the area.

Excellent meal and atmosphere

Jun 2021 • none

What can I say? Dulce, Julia and all the staff are attentive and the food is wonderful. Yesterday I had a chocolate shake that actually tasted like a good old fashion milkshake with the real milk after taste on the top of the palate.I also had the French fries which were not soggy and fried to perfection. Dressed with malt vinegar and not greasy at all. Nothing surprisingly is there and flavors are fresh. Last week I had the Rueben which was very flavorful with chips and a pickle.. Another favorite was their sausage soup! First bowl was so good, the person in my party devoured it. I ordered a second and the flavor of the soup was great. Oh and the coconut cream pie was delicious. The atmosphere is a 1940's diner that brings you back in time. Love the outdoor seating and the interior is old school with vintage seating, chrome and light fixtures, Owner is doing a fabulous job at choosing friendly and attentive servers and offering a large variety of good old fashion American eats. We do not get bored of this place and will be back for more and highly recommend. Americana at it's best,

Busy for a reason!

Oct 2021 • none

Stopped here while in town for a few days. Heard this place was great and it did not disappoint. We walked in at 5:00 and were the only ones in the diner and when we walked out every single booth and table was full. They had to call in extra help to assist! The beef and potato soup was rich and flavorful and served steaming hot! A must appetizer! We ordered the turkey dinner but order got messed up so we ate the roast pork loin with potatoes and gravy. Not a bad mistake. Three loins and potatoes and pork gravy! Had the meatloaf plate as well and topped it off with blueberry pie! Don't let the line scare you away and be patient as they are a bit short staff due to covid. The owner and staff first class and polite they way it used to be!

The Best Fried Chicken!

Jul 2023 • couples

If you love classic diners like we do this is a very nice one. The best fried chicken I have ever had! The mashed potatoes were not whipped they were "mashed" you could tell they had that homemade flavor and effort. They Lemon Meringue pie for dessert. The food was hot, quick and delicious. The lady that waited on us was very pleasant with that down home feel. This place is definitely a gem!

I Will Go Somewhere Else.

Sep 2024 • friends

Totally disappointed! Asked for extra crispy fries and they were limp and oily. The BLT with guacamole on toasted sourdough was just dumped on the very lightly toasted bread, while the guac was a thin brown smear. The server was very attentive and pleasant. My friend had an egg salad sandwich that appeared well made with a good amount of filling with fresh lettuce.

Always Satisfying

Aug 2023 • family

They have the very best thin thin onion rings. So oniony tasting! Also, a favorite is their club Sandwiches with just the right amount of everything. I heard the veggie omelette was great, too. Set in an old time dining car as well as an add on room, so plenty of seating.

Cute diner

Jun 2021 • none

My husband and I stopped in her for a quick lunch. Had the tuna melt and sweet potato fries. We could have split the tuna melt. The diner was very busy but we got our food rather quickly. I think it was mostly locals eating here. Prices were vert reasonable.

Nice Diner

The classic fried chicken! A must! This was our second time here and it hasn't changed. It was delicious and comfortable. And for dessert a piece of lemon meringue pie for me and chocolate cream for my boyfriend. If you love diners this one is for you!

Fun Diner Experience

May 2021 • none

Cute little railcar diner in a quaint little VT town. Service was good, and the 50's vibe made it an entertaining meal. I was a little disappointed with the overall cleanliness (a fly in my coffee cup, and hair in my eggs), but I was willing to look past it and not let it ruin my meal. Hot Tip: Do NOT use Apple Maps to navigate here. You will end up at a rock pile 20 minutes away from the diner.

Diner experience and food at its best

Extensive diner menu with pie or cake too. Easy parking in front or in the rear of the building. Breakfast anytime and many sandwiches or complete meals to chose from.

The spicy chicken sandwich was phenomenal. The chocolate malt was also very good. We would highly recommend this place.

Good food in a vintage diner

May 2021 • none

If you like diner architecture you'll like Birdseye. The food is consistently good, and the service is friendly. There is currently a special $2,99 breakfast menu served weekdays from 7-9am.

Nice Diner, Very Good Breakfast

Nov 2019 • none

We used to live in Middletown Springs, VT and ate here years ago so while visiting friends now we decided to try the Birdseye again and it was great. Wonderful breakfast everything was brought out to us just as we asked for and liked. If you're in the area this is a good place to eat.

Nice Little Diner

Nov 2019 • none

We went at dinner time on a Friday night, it was not that busy at all. Our waitress was okay, seemed like she might have had too much coffee that day as her level of energy far outweighed the service needs of the dining room and she was like a dervish in the dining room. The decor is retro-diner without the jukeboxes on the table. The Birdseye Onion Rings were a major disappointment. Expecting breaded thin sliced onion rings, we were presented with a large plate of something between a sauteed onion and onion rings whose batter fell off. We nearly choked on them as they were greasy, long and slimy. The Philly Steak & Cheese was very good, however the diced green peppers were odd, as they are usually sliced. My daughter had a BLT which she loved. We took dessert to go: Lemon Meringue Pie and something called Peanut Butter Explosion Cake. The Lemon Meringue was not homemade, but delicious nonetheless. The Peanut Butter Explosion Cake as a chemical mixture of chocolate cake and peanut butter. Guessing it was not homemade. Prices were affordable and overall the ambience is what made the experience. I doubt if I would ever return as much as I like diners, this one was just meh.

Local Favorite, Good Service, Good Food!

Nov 2019 • none

Constant Companion and I were en route home and desired a light lunch. Having read about Birdseye on TA we detoured Route 4 and stopped. This is a cute old diner in the heart of sleepy Castleton. Heavily frequented by local grey hairs and youths it offers very good food and good service. CC ordered the Sauteed Chicken sandwich, house made cole slaw, and a Chardonnay. What she received was a perfectly cooked chicken filet, moist, and dressed with pesto, provolone, arugula, and sun dried tomatoes. She proclaimed it "EXCELLENT" as was the coleslaw if a bit runny!! I ordered the Birdseye burger with cheddar. I ordered it "Rare" as it was advertised as 6 oz. of Chuck but it arrived nearly well done. Consequently, it was not great but still good! My order of fries was huge and really crisp just the way I like them but they did not appear to me to be hand cut as billed! I had a coffee for beverage. Our server Paula was great! Overall Birdseye offers good value and is worth another detour if in the area! Total bill was $27.31 including tax but w/o tip!
