This is a great hidden gem in West Haven, CT. My mom and I were driving through town, and we decided to come here for a bite. My mom suggested it, as she comes here with a friend on occasion and they both love it here! I'll also note that this was my second time here, and very impressed both occasions. The first time I came here was about 13 years ago, to pick up a TO -GO food order for friends and I. I remember even back then, I thought the food was good and they packed my To Go order great! No messes, spills, & the whole order was perfect! I distinctly remember being impressed with that as that is not usually the case at other establishments. Not with Georgie's dinner though! Perfect, even back over a decade ago To get back to yesterday's visit with my mom, it was excellent. We were greeted immediately and told to pick wherever we wanted to sit. Nice flowers outside windows to enjoy. Comfortable booths, but you can also sit at the counter on a stool. They have a fantastic menu for breakfast, lunch, sides,and other various options. My mom & I both love and appreciate that they have organic, dairy free, vegan & gluten free options. There is also a vegan section on the menu, which is lovely. I ordered Full Stack of Buckwheat pancakes with blueberries. They have the real maple syrup available as well, and vegan and regular butter. These buckwheat pancakes were delicious and hit the spot! They were so good, and filling but didn't feel lethargic after. It wasn't too heavy. Also got a Greek Pita and it was absolutely delicious as well. My mom got a vegetable medley side and a wrap. She enjoyed her food very much too. She got a special type of coffee with almond milk. She loved her drink and loved the almond milk option as well. She also was impressed and loved the brand of herbal tea they have available as well. We both got containers to go, as there was good sized portions, so we got to bring home to enjoy the rest. I also placed an order to go for my significant other, and he wanted the appetizer Mac & cheese and a cheeseburger. The temperature stayed good even though we made a few stops along the way. ( It was a cooler rainy day too) He said the mac & cheese was delicious and the burger was cooked well, as he asked, and he was happy with his meal as well. Food was great, service was great and they were helpful when we had questions. Friendly waitress, aware of our needs, and was so patient when I was waiting to hear back for the take home portion of the order. Service was pretty quick, and to get check and to pay. The decor is awesome! I love the old style look on both outside and inside of the restaurant. The whole place has a great vibe to it. Clean tables and seats, clean bathroom fully stocked. There is a door for restrooms and that opens up to two individual bathrooms. Love the look and decor inside the dinner. Had such a cool vintage vibe. & Just a great feeling overall. I like that there are seating areas outside if desired. It's set up nice with flowers and bushes around to keep some privacy from road. Also, in the entrance of the diner, you can walk up a few steps to get to the door, or they have a ramp on the other side to get up to the door. That's important for those that need it so wanted to make note of that. Ramp is so great for those that that have trouble walking or going up steps. Individuals In wheelchairs, using crutches or anything where you can use a little extra support by utilizing ramps. Plenty of easy parking in a free parking lot. Not far from main roads & highway. The bathroom I went in, also had a child's diaper changing station. In addition, they have highchairs available for kids as well. Georgie's Diner is great for food, atmosphere, a great vibe, and service Clean, accomodating in any way they can. Super impressed and loved it here. I will definitely be returning again! Would Recommend this for breakfast lunch or anytime really. We went at around 4pm on a Thursday and it wasn't too busy at all.

Stopped here for dinner during the return trip from Boston. Tried finding something to satisfy everyone's dietary preferences in the town before with no luck until Georgie's Diner popped up, and wow what a 'meal-saver'! The building itself is so unique, it's the 'real deal' of a diner and it actually was moved to the current location from elsewhere! It is enchanting, from the beautiful chrome outside to the real neon tubing lights on the inside, I wish I would've longer to admire it! As lovely as the building is, I know the food is the real focus here! The menu is diverse, the portions generous, and super delicious. There are several fantastic options for vegans or vegetarians, not just side salads or fries! I opted for the vegan club with fruit and had my expectations exceeded. The sandwich was beautifully presented, contained the 'just right' amount of ingredients, and the fruit was truly fresh with wonderful variety. No mushy sad bits of unripe melons here, folks, there were even blueberries in it! Others at the table opted for pasta dishes, one a vegan dish the other a meat one. They too were enthusiastic about their meals and were very happy to have stopped at Georgie's Diner! I think we spent most of the meal talking about how we need Georgie's Diner where we live, and afterwards have half-jokingly talked about driving up that way (4~5 hours) just to go again. Even the flowers in the bathroom were real, which I found so sweet as it really shows the love and pride for Georgie's Diner the employees have. We had a young waitress that must've been training as her first job over the summer, but she did well on her own! Another waitress, we thought might be her mother, was by her side supporting her and making sure we were well taken care of- we were! It wasn't too busy when we went, but there was no lack of service and the food came out quickly and the water glasses stayed full. It was such a great experience, absolutely worth visiting if you're in the area or even if you have to drive a bit!

I'm a diner fanatic, and Georgie's Diner never disappoints! The food is always delicious and fresh with great portions and a variety of options on the menu - including vegan! They even have to-go dog treats on the menu πΆ We enjoyed the vegan berries and cream French toast, the veggie wrap, homefries, and hot lattes with almond milk - everything was delicious! Our girls had the rigatoni pasta with tomato sauce, scrambled eggs with toast and fries, and fresh orange juice from the kids' menu - they ate it all, even our picky 3 year old! We absolutely love the atmosphere here, the staff is very friendly and the diner is so beautiful inside and out! Our server Nick was very attentive and friendly. Definitely give them a try! ππ»

Great diner in the New Haven area. This place has a dedicated vegetarian / vegan menu which is a huge plus. The food is delicious, the service is good, and it has a great atmosphere. My only qualm is that the grill for breakfast food has a ton of meat and bacon cooked on it , and if you order hash browns with a vegetarian meal , you are definitely getting some meat grease with your food. I wish they would have a vegetarian section of the grill or some other solution. Nonetheless, this place has great diner food for vegetarian and non-vegetarians alike and I would recommend it for anyone who is in the mood for diner food in the New Haven area.

I was greated as entering by Amanda , she was cheerful and welcoming . Ysa my waitress was great , explained the menue , how it worked , nice personality , attentive. She and Amanda made my morning . The lady cook excellent !!! Thank You !!! The dinner doesn't have full dishes for breakfast they offer sides . Grits for $6.00 Home fries for $7.00 I really wanted to try the home fries but satisfied with 2 eggs and small Pancake and N.Y. Coffee. $13.95 for eggs coffee and regular size 5" to 6" Pancake is enough for breakfast . I'll try other dinner in West Heaven next time I come to VA Hospital . Share the wealth .
