Danielle's Diner — Restaurant in Epping

We went here on a whim because we were in the area, what a mistake!

Very tiny tight spaced place where you seat yourself. We sat and a waitress (very friendly) came over to us a little while later and took our drink order. Wife got an OJ and I got a Pepsi which comes in a bottle with a glass of ice to pour yourself (no biggie)!

My wife orders 2 scrambled, well done homefries and sourdough toast

I ordered the Lumber Jack (no ham extra links) with scrambled as well as well done homefries with well done onions, bacon and pancakes.

While we waited we enjoyed the fly that kept trying to hang out with us, gross!

We got our food fairly quickly, the waitress asked if the homefries looked well done enough so to me she knew they weren't but my wife chimed in and said they were ok but they weren't. She doesn't like sending anything back and for good reason!

The homefries were boiled potato chunks that were def not well done (crispy) in any way and were blander then a popcorn fart and mushy.

My wife took 1 bite of her eggs and gaged they were mushy (liked undercooked) and flavorless, i tried mine and they were the same, terrible, no flavor at all. Salt and Pepper goes a long way folks!

Her toast was barely toasted and had maybe a teaspoon of butter (that's being generous) needless to say she brought it home to give it to our dogs.

My sausage was tasteless and had the underdone feel so I didn't eat them. The bacon was ok and the pancakes were massive (ok) but absolutely no flavor of any kind and heavier then Heavy D. Had to use a lot of syrup to make what I had somewhat edible. I also barely ate and took the rest home minus the cakes for our dogs.

My wife got sick not to long after having eaten there which if you read reviews others have too.

The only good thing was the OJ and Pepsi.

This cost us after tip $50 for garbage. Not sure but yawl may wanna retrain your cook because my 10 year old can season food better then they can.

I will not be back and will let others know...

We tried Danielle’s Diner at 114 Calef Hwy in Epping, NH and were not impressed. This is an old school, tired looking, below average diner with food that looks and tastes like it’s from a bad cafeteria. The best part about the restaurant was our server. She was lovely. Apart from her, we give thumbs down on almost everything except the water. They have good water.

We both got eggs Benedict, mine with beans (that were somehow sour), and hubs had his with sweet potato tots. The tots were Ok, but appeared to be covered in a batter or flour of some sort? Almost like tempura. Unexpected and added calories we hadn’t been planning for. The Benedicts were not great. The eggs and English muffins were cooked pretty well, but the hollandaise sauce separated and looked horrible on the plate, and the processed ham had a tough membrane on the exterior.

When we go to restaurants, we always think to ourselves: “is this the best food that the chefs are capable of turning out?” I hope that’s not the case for this diner. I can’t imagine they’ll stay in business much longer unless they step up their game. The chef had to have seen the sauce separated. It should never have been served. The French toast was not great. We could taste cinnamon but not egg. It was mostly dry bread.

It is unlikely we would ever return here. They did have a large breakfast alcohol offering. I guess that keep some of the customers...

Long time patron since back in the Ryan's days. Went here last Sunday and I ordered the Meat Lover's Omelette and sausage patties. My friend ordered the eggs and grits with sausage links and raisin toast. We both got our orders without the sausages. When the waitress returned I inquired about the sausage patties as my friend didn't want the links. She went to check but did not come back. I asked another waitress who did come back and said they'll be right out. The original waitress came back with links when I asked for patties. I said at this point I would take the patties to go as I needed a box for the rest of my omelette because I was full. The waitress came back with sausage links again and I said I ordered patties and at this point just said please take the sausage orders off the bill. She then returned a final time with the bill and asked if I wanted the sausage links and she could get them done real quick and just pop them in with my leftover eggs. I said no thank you because I really wanted patties! At this point I just paid the bill and took my leftover eggs. The omelet was very good and I enjoyed the leftovers. I see other reviews here about orders being missed and I'm wondering if something has changed. This particular Sunday was not as busy as others as I was able to get a chair right away when I came in. When I left it still was not as busy, it just may have been that day. Most times...
