The food was good. The wait staff were attentive. The atmosphere was very retro, but homey. I ordered the tomato, broccoli and swiss omelette. It came with toast and home fries which were incredible. Would totally come back again!

My children grow up in Prospect Connecticut where this dairy bar generates business. It is always a HomeTown feel. The staff are always eager to help and please you. The food is phenomenal. Always very clean and the waitresses are very courteous. I hope they stick around for years to come. I give them a 5 plus star rating

Very cute diner. Food was cooked the way we ordered it. Tasted good. Fresh vegetables. Nice wait staff. Prices are on par with other diners. I will be back for more.

I love this place. It is a retro diner. Great meals! The fish n chips is my favorite meal. Breakfasts are outstanding. Coffee very good. Try this place you will enjoy it. Dont forget to have a 1/3 lb angus burger and an old fashioned milk shake. 🍨

An amazing stop for lunch. I ordered clam strips and fries and all I can say is wow. At first bite my mind went to summers on the shore in West Haven at Chicks. The batter is crisp and full of flavor and the clams dont disappoint. I can wait for my next time in the area to try a shake and a burger!

Great atmosphere! Great food! Staff is always polite. Reasonably priced. Ask for Carmella when you go! You cant go wrong!

Prospect Dairy Bar is a Prospect staple. Its been there for many decades and is one of 2 diners in town. Dawning the decor of a 1950s soda shop, you can expect to find the stereotypical black and white checkered floor, pink walls, and old school service that has people coming back time and time again.The food is cooked to order, is fresh, quick, and flavorful. If youre there for breakfast, look for Kim. Best waitress ever!

I have been coming here since I was a little girl. I grew up going here with Grandmother(God rest her soul) She would bring my brother and I here every week. Now I bring my children here as much as I can. Service is always amazing as well as the food. I love the decor. This place has giving me many wonderful memories with my family and my own childhood.

Nice people. Cute place. Not bad prices

Found this place not long after work relocated me to Prospect CT. Quickly became a regular stop for lunch and late breakfast. Food is prepared at an open grill behind the counter, which I like. And everything Ive ever ordered here has been good. Theres nothing earth shattering here, but everything is consistently prepared and delicious. Service is touch and go, but even at its worst, its tolerable. Great milkshakes too. Its a diner people, if you walk in here expecting more than that...you will be disappointed.

Nice selection of items, big menus. Fast, friendly service. No Gluten free stuff, but even off the bum work the stop. Ice cream Shoppe area niceA little $$ for ice cream.

Family run. Friendly waitress. Food was good. Reasonable prices.

A great place for breakfast...hard rolls so fresh! Always a consistent meal.

Come support a local restaurant! There arent many of these any more. Food is good, and the milk shakes are my favorite! Bring your kids, there is a old school theme for older cars etc. I think its cool.

Great, quick stop. Delicious fresh home made burgers, long hot dogs, amazing clam strips and onion rings and curly fries to go with your meal. Nice hidden gem!

Order the corned beef Rueben with fries...delicious and the waitress was very friendly and provided us with great service. Nice little diner in Prospect with a ton of history behind it...history all over the interior walls when you first walk in. Will be going back to try one of their specials at night.

Arrived and the parking lot was a quarter full. Inside had four tables on Mother’s Day at 10 in the morning This should have been our sign. Waitress was pleasant. The food was mediocre and warm at best After ordering from the OUTRAGEOUSLY priced menu and getting our order, you start to notice things . Old Log Cabin bottles with the labels fall, FILTHY, FILTHY ice cream menu , dirty ketchup bottles, and I could go on. NEVER a place to return to. No wonder they never get busy. Really like to know who’s giving this place favorable ratings. Must be the regulars.

One of my Prospect favorites. Good old fashioned food joint. Lovely home made cakes. Friendly service.

Food is good will miss them when they sell and close

Great experience and cheap prices. Food is always good, has a nice nostalgic 50s diner atmosphere with cool decorations, and a few sweet old ladies always serving and making for a pleasurable experience

I love bringing my kids here. They get a little cardboard/paper car with their meal inside, a little candy and a trinket. The theme is retro/50s diner with an old juke box. They have ice cream and delicious pie for desert too.

This place is so cozy. And the food is very good.

Nice mom and pop type atmosphere felt comfortable and waitress was very nice

Love the place... old style diner.. Great food

Always friendly, family atmosphere and Great food and Coffee!

Was a great experience first time there staff was unbelievable a step back in time breakfast was delish

I had the meatloaf dinner but without the potatoes or gravy. Vegetables were tasteless. Split pea soup was ok. Burgers, onion rings fries, all looked good as did the milkshakes, and I heard no complaints about food from other diners.

Love the food here they have great daily specials the staff is always so nice And the food is always so fresh also give you very large portions

I ate there this past Saturday for lunch. The service and waitress was amazing! Unfortunately the food is disgusting! Do not eat here. Find another place in Prospect or Waterbury.

They got full of themselves. Will never go back. To bad was a customer for years

Good people and good service/ food

Had a nice breakfast people are friendly

The food is so delish!!! Yummy breakfast just how I like it!! Thanks KIM!!!

Whether its the ownerd, the waitstaff, or the cooks, anytime I go there its like going home. the food is terrific, the people are amazing and its one of my favorite places to eat.

Owner is rude, cook is worse. Clam chowder was awful, sent back. Small portions and overpriced.

This place is a hidden gem. Had just stopped and am not from around here and am so glad I did. The fried clam bellys are so fresh and good, service was amazing, over all I would give more stars if I could. Definetly try it out if you havnt already!

Great place for breakfast - food and service are consistently wonderful!

Food is Delicious!! And servers are super nice and attentive🤗

Great place to catch up with friends!

There breakfast is very good. Love there omelets.

A good home town diner that makes you feel like youve stepped back in time in a great way.

Came here after church with a few friends and everything that could have went wrong with my breakfast did. Toast and bacon too soggy, eggs too dry, coffee not good. I thought it was a cute place and loved the name just wasnt impressed with the experience.

Always enjoy breakfast here, Kim is the best ! I highly recommended

Food is great. Cheese burgers yummy.

Excellent place to eat

Wonderful staff great food

Hot dogs and shakes are great here. Old time diner restaurant with very friendly staff.

Always great food!! Great service!!! Fresh and clean!

Quaint retro eatery with amazing ice cream!

Always a great place for lunch!

Yummy got a western sandwich on a really soft bagel.excellent

Weve only recently started coming to the Prospect Dairy Bar but after this mornings meal this is the last time well be going there. On the 3 other occasions that weve gone there weve apparently been lucky enough to miss the female grill person that was working this morning. On a morning when there were few people in the restaurant youd think that cooking breakfast for 3 adults and 1 child would take less than 15 minutes for an experienced grill cook but that was not the case here. We received our meals one at a time after 35 minutes of waiting all while listening to the grill cook bitching and moaning at the waitstaff. You could almost feel them walking on eggshells around her and as our meals were set in front of us quiet apologies were made for the long wait time. When our waitress mentioned to my wife that tomatoes are included in her omelet and would she like them the cook looked over, threw up her hands and yelled, what do you want me to do about it now? And although the food was good the slow cook with a crappy attitude ruined our breakfast and probably most of the other diners breakfasts as well. Avoid this place unless your dying of starvation!

Having been regular customers there for quite some time we were a little upset when the new kitchen staff took over we truly loved the other cook,she would have our breakfast waiting when she saw us pull up with that being said this new female cook is not half as friendly as Liz was and on several occasion my husband and I watched her go outside smoke and come back in not washing her hands. She burn everything,the last straw was this past Friday I got my usual omelette,and once again it was burnt,I myself went back and gave it to the cook and told her its was burnt,she rolled her eyes mumbled something under her breath and walked away,in the meantime the owner came out to ask what was going on (Carol Jones) then the owner and cook started talking loudly that all I do is complain,nothing is ever good enough.I was so mad I told my husband lets go. I told the waitress Kim we will never be back and she should tell Carol to wait for the customer to leave before she starts talking about them. We will never go there again and we usually bring the whole family on Sundays.We will only go to HomeTown. You would think with the amount of bussines they have lost since Liz quit,they would be a little bit nicer to there regulars! Sandy and Roy

Great food..pleasant atmosphere..love the Dairy Bar

I still love the decor and our waitress was friendly and nice. The shrimp in my shrimp basket was way overcooked. The food was definitely much better on our last visits. Very disappointed.

The best omelette and friendly staff

Great breakfasts and service. Also serve ice cream

Great place for breakfast and lunch!

Food was good, staff was pleasant.

Coke did not taste like Coke, Heinz did not taste like Heinz. Bread and butter pickles instead of dill! The ventilation system is inoperable and I now smell like burnt fried food. The pastrami in my Ruben was the consistancie of valconised rubber. THERE WAS AN ANT INFESTATION ON AND AROUND OUR TABLE!!

Paid $13 for mediocre frozen pady burger and extra small cup of soup....not a place to have lunch when u hungry.

Great people!! Delicious food!! 😊

Nice small town diner.

We have been coming in here every Sunday since I can remember and they just keep getting better,yes the prices have gone up but look at our economy What prompted me to write this review was after I saw or should I say read a terrible review. posted by Ken D. Speaking from our experiences and quite often the company we bring they all love Lizs cooking you cant beat her omelets her toast is always warm and her home fries and delicious.She has been cooking for them for years and always performs exceptionally For your one time visit and make a .harsh judgement isnt fair to liz. And if your problem was that bad why didnt you ask to speak to Carol (the owner) she is there everyday. I find it necessary to stick up for her because she is a wonderful person inside and out and her wait staff does not walk on eggshells believe us it is a family runned business there may be days you go in and it is quite as a mouse there may be others and it sounds like a barn burner but the one thing through it all is Lizs contagious smile and her good morning wave. To make other diners think that some wild woman is cooking on the grill is just unfair to liz,,,,,, here in town we all no and love her did you ever think maybe she was having a bad morning that does happen sometimes. Try to have a good day to sum all this up the Dairy Bar is still the best place to get breakfast on the weekends you can go yourself and see and you will be thrilled you did. I am not related to anyone that works at the restaurant just a long time customer my husband and I..

Fast service. Tasty meal.

Hole in the wall looking place, GREAT breakfast!

Awesome burger and fries!!

Homemade meatloaf very good.

Foods good, old style 50ies dinner.

I couldnt understand why all the haters were ripping apart the Dairy Bar. I looked at a few of the reviews on other sites one of them was really nasty and you no it was from the owner just the way it was worded,Anywho went there just to see for myself what all the fuss was about and now I can see why the girl that used to be behind the grill is no longer there,in her place is a cook that worked there years ago and if my memory served me right now I can see all the fussing. This girl has a lousy attitude takes way too long to get your order and when you finally do it sucks plain and simple.When I went down to the Regencey to see my Aunt I told her how I stopped there to get a little something and she sadi I wish you had told me I would have told you go to McDonalds this coming from an 80+ woman. So yes it has changed and not for the better.The only positive thing was that Kim was still there shes wonderful quick and always has a smile for us.

Good food, good waitress!
