Carmel Diner Inc. in Carmel

Review edit after second chance: it took almost 50 mins to receive food and we never recieved water or coffee refills even after asking twice. The servers were however very kind and the atmosphere was wonderful. The food however leaves much to be desired. Both times i ate here i was very disappointed and when i ordered thick cut bacon with my eggs i recieved what appeared to be pan fried spam.

100% knowledgeable staff and food is fantastic beyond belief!... the Best Desserts Ever!... Top shelf long island ice tea!... I recommend the Balboa + a Beer... That's all folks!...

Really friendly staff and tasty food, great place to just pop in and get yourself a bite to eat.

It's a nice place. My friends and I stop in at times for good food and friendly conversation

Great food and service

Our waitress never even offered us a 2nd cup of coffee. We asked our waitress for more coffee and Nevr received any. We asked again from the guy behind the counter on the other side of the restaurant and he gave us some received just b4 we were leaving. We had to look around for 15 minutes to get someone's attention to give us our check. On a Sunday early afternoon they weren't all that busy so no excuse for poor service. We only ordered eggs and french toast. The food was fine, the service was not.

I grew up in Carmel and always loved going to the dinner for breakfast, lunch and even late night. Food always comes out fast and fresh. It's a dinner. It's always open. You can't go wrong and you can get whatever you're in the mood for.

Went there in the afternoon on a Friday, place was not busy and service very quick. Our waitress was super nice and accommodating, food was excellent as well. I was very happy to find out they serve mousaka and it is really really yummy in here! Beware of huge portions though!

Quick and easy, good food

Has always been the solid 3am spot, but digging it more during the daylight, recently. Good food, prices, and staff. Clean and comfortable as well.

A very laid back town and diner. Went there on a Saturday for brunch. We tried the hungry man and the Mexican omelette. The Mexican omellete was super tasty, loved every bit of it. Staff is very friendly, always around to refill your coffee. A great place to relax and enjoy your coffee, breakfast and conversations. Definitely going back!

It’s a nice diner if you are in the mood for diner food

Staff always super friendly and competent. The food is GOOD! Never takes too long. And the place is always clean. Prices are also reasonable.

This place clearly knows how to serve their customers. Consistently with a welcoming mindset. The food is fairly priced, always fresh and neat.

Generally good food for a diner. Wait staff could be a little more friendly. Prices are reasonable. Usually no wait for seating except at busiest times like Sunday brunch. Parking can be an uphill climb for senior patrons. Seating can be a little cramped at the tables with staff and patrons moving about. Clean relaxing atmosphere. I've been coming here for 20+ years. I would recommend you visit The Carmel Diner.

Had a very good experience in here with my friend. The food arrives quickly and the service is just fantastic. Prices are reasonable.

I need to tell you first and foremost that they have a waitress there who worked for years there and left and they were somehow extremely lucky to get her to come back because she is Amazing !!!!!! This woman did not stop for a minute ..she knew exactly what to do at all times. She ran the entire counter and 4-5 rows more past it with complete ease and friendliness and kept everyone happy...I swear I was never more impressed !!!! The food??? If you're hungry and want to be served correctly this is the place to go !!!

Worst service and worst bacon, cheese and two eggs on a roll toasted.!!!

Quick seating very accommodating and eggs came out as ordered.

Good food good service friendly atmosphere..

...always my favorite.... ...nice atencion and fresh food...

Always good value...

Great place, great people, for years!

Mediocre food and bad service. The waitress was too busy watching tv to refill a drink. There is a large menu selection, but probably won't return.

It's just a really nice place to go for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner!

Nice little place. Good food and large servings. We wished we had ordered an entree or two fewer and left room for the delicious looking desserts! The staff was friendly and helpful, but forgot to offer our drinks with lunch specials. When we ordered coffee to go they provided that free as our set drinks.

The food was amazing. Portion sizes were huge, and the price was just right. There's parking for customers.

Good food great staff

Great staff, nice people. Got a burger it was real good.

Great food decent price okay personality of waitress

A very nice and tasty place to eat. Large menu, good staff and great food. I enjoyed it and you and your family will to.

It's a decent Diner, could use some remodeling and a hot waitress

Staff are great. I loved the feel of the diner

Social Distancing in place. Food was great! Service was quick.

Great food. Great people. The service here is awesome. They're really great people.

Food was ok but service was a bit lacking. We had to ask for our server to pay us a visit.

Friendly service, food came out fast.

Short staffed had to wait quite a while 1 waitress running but she was pleasant and kept apologizing. I would say poor Management☹

Great food... every time I've been

This is a nice size seafood platter, also had New England clam chowder to start meal.

Amazing food!!! After hiking the nearby fire tower the food was well deserved! Highly recommend going. It is a very laid back type of place where you will not be rushed!! You can enjoy a lovely peaceful meal with family and friends here. They give you a great sized amount of food for the price! The desserts are also supper cute! They had a cake with a bunny on top. I can't wait to go back again!!

Prices are great, staff always helpful and the food is great

Good food great servers great owners. A really good place to go.

Classic hometown feeling Diner in the middle of the Carmel Hamlet with great food, service & comfy booths. Ample parking on the side and rear of the Diner which is located less than 2 minutes walk to scenic Lake Gleneida.

I've been going here since I was a kid. The food is always great and the staff is very friendly

Excellent dining with great service. Among the best in the area.

Nice diner. Good food. Clean place.

Decided to try the Carmel Diner for a quick dinner . The waitress was new and unfamiliar with the menu. We ordered two simple dishes and waited 25 minutes for the food to arrive. This would not have been bad if the place was packed , however it was fairly empty. Our waitress was busy talking to other staff members while our food was getting cold. When she finally brought the food to our table, she said be careful the plates are hot..Ha Ha Ha nice try !!!..The food was cold. When she came by to check up on us we told her the food was cold and she did not apologize and never offered to bring it back to get reheated. Been there before for breakfast which was very good. We'll just stay clear of that new waitress.

Friendly wait staff amazing food

Both service and good was excellent.
