Romney Diner — Restaurant in Romney

TLDR: Traditional diner menu; friendly, fast service; good food prepared to order with daily specials; lunch under $10; limited seating

I try to find local diners whenever I travel for work because I figure the chain restaurants can live without my business, and I enjoy seeing the real personality of the towns I visit. Unless a daily special looks really interesting, my goto for lunch is a simple BLT with coffee, and that's what I ordered at the Romney Diner.

Everything was delicious and the prices were fantastic. I had something I hadn't had for a long time a cold fountain pop birch beer flavored the rich red color and unmistakable taste took me right back to my childhood. I honestly am not able to say enough about what a little jem this is. Stop in you will be...

We were traveling and found this diner on Google maps with high ratings so we took a small detour to try it. We're very glad we did. The waitress was superb as was the food. It's very small inside but very pleasant small town diner vibe. One of the best bacon cheeseburgers I ever had, the homemade broccoli soup was amazing. My 10 year old granddaughter got a grilled cheese sandwich and curly fries and said it was the best she ever had. The 12 year old granddaughter got chicken strips and fries and I think this is the first time both girls ever finished a meal so obviously loved it. ...
