4 reviews for Aero Diner
Found myself near Windham, ct so tried this diner out. They have a variety of sodas from the fountain which was great, enjoyed my birch beer. It was a Sunday night so not very crowded. There is a back room in addition to what you see in the pics.
I got one of the specials, sirloin steak sandwich w/ blue cheese and hand cut fries. Also got an extra thick chocolate shake. Steak was cooked as ordered, on a warm toasted kaiser roll with a good amount of blue cheese and the hand-cut fries. Everything was delicious, and the extra thick shake was amazing.
This is a gem in rural CT. Worth a trip if visiting east of Hartford.
Good friendly service.
My favorite: chocolate pancakes topped with fresh strawberries and whip cream.
I would definitely go back for a breakfast.
The classic, Streamline-style diner always wins my heart.
The boyfriend and I had driven past this place many, many times, as we frequent the Wal-Mart across the street for groceries and what have you, and we even tried to go once, but they were closed (it was late, on a Monday, maybe a holiday? I don't remember). So a little after the lunch rush, we hit up the diner for the first time. The place was modestly full with families and people, so the girl at the counter directed us to the back room.
We plopped down at a classic 50s-style booth, and the server came pretty promptly to take our drink orders. Of course, being us, we went for water. Now, diner water always tastes like ... well ... well water. It wasn't great, but what can you do? I ordered the Burger with Fries and the boyfriend got an Omelet with a Bagel and Fries, but you can read his review for his experience.
Now, the gal asked how I wanted my burger cooked, and as is my way, I requested it Medium Rare. I saw that the fries were hand-cut, and was hopeful for some Inn N Out-style goods. The food came pretty promptly, and it looked darn good. So imagine my dismay when I bit into the burger and discovered that it was cooked well done. Not a spot of pink in the meat. I mean, it was juicy, but the juice was grease for the most part, and it soaked the bottom bun, making it a messy nosh. The fries, on the other hand, were delicious. I'm not sure if they were hand-cut at the restaurant or just purchased that way, but they definitely fit the bill of delicious fries.
Overall, it was a decent dining experience. I intend to go back and maybe try the waffles (too bad no one told me about the specials when we came in) or something different, but for the price and the location, it was a pretty darn good experience.
I have driven by this diner many times, however I have never been inside of it before. Normally once a week me and the girlfriend go to the Wal-Mart across the street to do our grocery shopping as well as picking up other misc goods.
Typically we eat at the Ruby Tuesdays at in the Wal-Mart parking lot, however today we decided to try the diner. I was quiet shocked at how much I actually enjoyed it. From the outside it looks small and not great, but once you walk through those doors your feelings completely change.
Surprisingly for about 1:15 in the afternoon on a Thursday the place was pretty packed. They had the back room blocked off, but since the front was full they sat us back there anyway. Our waitress quickly came over to take our drink order and was extremely friendly.
I decided to go with my staple of diner food, an omelet with french fries (since you never know what to expect with home fries, everywhere is different), and a bagel instead of my toast. At first I wondered if there was cheese inside of the omelet since the outside was covered in it too, but much to my happiness indeed there was. My second surprise was when I looked at my french fries. They were clearly hand cut. Apparently the girlfriend had noticed this in the menu, but since I was just ordering eggs I hadn't even cracked it open.
My third surprise came when the check arrived, and the only thing keeping this at a 4 star review. I knew there probably would be an extra charge for egg whites (which there was, $1), however without her telling me, there also was an extra charge for the bagel. Typically when you ask for a substitution that would cost more the waitress gives you the heads up. Granted it was only 55 cents, but a heads up is always appreciated.
Overall though I was pleasantly surprised, and definitely wouldn't mind hitting this place up again.
