Foxtown Diner — Restaurant in Shelburne

I love small diners and am always looking for a new gem . Unfortunately this Sunday 7/20/25 when I went to the bridge of flowers I was only met with disappointment. My wife and son came with me for lunch every meal was made wrong. My wife had a tuna melt they brought a tomato melt, they did make a new one my wife wouldn't finish it the tuna was fishy like it was left out, they burnt my sons burger and had to make another that he did enjoy. I had a turkey club they said they had no bacon and forgot the 1000 island and there was almost no turkey . To add to the insult they then cooked 2 lbs of bacon I assume for the next day while I was eating my sandwich. The staff was friendly and kind but it appeared the owners were away and it was a bit of chaos with only a few tables occupied. Not the little gem I was hoping to find ! They even tried to turn a local customer away at 1:30 before they closed because they were behind? I like the location prices are fair but some oversight is required...

This place is garbage. I walk in and am faced with a cloud of smoke from the "kitchen" that fills the entire dining area. I guess high-tech tools like cooking fans are just too much for the Foxtown Diner.

I sit at the counter and ask whether the waitress recommends pancakes or french toast - she informs me that they've stopped serving breakfast, but they still offer omelets. Mind you, it was about 1pm. Am I crazy or are diners known the world over for offering breakfast pretty much all times of day? I go ahead and order a western.

I wait over 20 minutes without my meal being served or any kind of update from the waitress. When I finally ask, she goes over to confer with the line cook. They convene a meeting as if it's a group of NFL referees deciding on a controversial penalty. She comes back to inform me it would be another 15 minutes. At least. Ridiculous.

Stay away, unless you enjoy your clothes smelling of smoky diner kitchen, waiting for food that never comes, and...

TLDR fantastic diner great sandwiches.

Travelers, this downtown Shelburne Falls MA is a jewel on Main Street. It has a wonderful lunch menu loaded with all sorts of goodies. They offer every type of wrap, sandwich, and burger you can imagine. There is even a vegetarian burger option. The grilled sandwiches are wonderful. I added sauerkraut to the turkey bacon cheddar grilled sandwich and it was delicious. The fried chicken wrap was delicious too. The chicken was crispy and tender. The spinach, feta, and tomato sandwich on rye was more delicious than expected. The spinach was cooked perfectly. The spicy curly fries were just the right amount of spicy. Much of the food is local and homemade — like the pies which are made fresh every day by the owner including the pie crusts! Everyone in my group loved it. The service was friendly and with a smile. We recommend. Take the ride to shelburne falls and...
