Peterborough Diner

Went back to The Diner yesterday after a New Year's Day hike up Pack Monadnock & it was better than ever!

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this place, but I ended up liking it! First off, the exterior is very cute and old school - I absolutely loved the look of it. We visited on a Saturday (late) morning, and they were able to seat our party of 8 right away. We had to split up into two tables, but they were close enough to each other that we were all still able to talk. The interior was exactly what you would expect from a diner - no frills, plenty of regular patrons.

But the pricing here is what really delighted me - $4.99 for Bloody Marys and Screwdrivers. Were they good? Not really, the Bloody Marys were literally made with V8. But were they strong? VERY much so. For food, I ordered the Chicken Tenders on Fire and one French Toast to split with my friend. All the food was honestly good - not amazing, but solid. My friends all enjoyed their food as well, including the Sausage Gravy & Biscuits, Turkey Club, Hungry Traveler, Hash & Eggs, and Reuben. For our party of 8 people, the total came out to $158.13 (before tip), which was just wild to me. Our server Natasha was nice and came by regularly to refill our coffee. Would return!

Me and wifey were trying to find a bagel joint in this town but the address we couldn't find. What we did find was this beautiful shiny stainless steal club car looking diner. It's the perfect scenario in this cute little town and the quintessential New England diner. The staff was extremely friendly and greeted you with a big smile. From the interior furnishings to the old school big coffee mugs, this place was the ultimate find for us. The food was delicious and plentiful. My wife had an egg sandwich and I had the eggs over easy with carb beef hash which I totally enjoyed. We will definitely go back because the Peterborough Diner is a must try location (but not when I'm hankering for a traditional hardy breakfast).

We were traveling up in New Hampshire this week and found a great diner in Peterborough, NH. The Peterborough Diner was an old fashion diner with stools by the food counter and booths by the windows. We picked the booth by the window and ordered our drinks. They had soda, tea, lemonade and beer. We had sodas: Coke and Diet Cokes.
The menu had American food: hamburgers, pizzas and pastas. We had the Peter Burgers, which were two paddies on a bun with French fries or Cole slaw. You could get a choice of cheeses: Swiss, American or Cheddar. My burger just had onions and tomato and was cooked to perfection: Medium well. My son-in-law had the Peter burger with Swiss cheese and we all loved the burgers.
We didn't have dessert because we were full. I'm hoping to go back to the diner to try their homemade pies. The blueberry and apple pies looked delicious.
We were on our way to Keene and found this gem in Peterborough! We all loved the diner, our waitress was super, the food was excellent and diner was spotlessly clean. If you're in southern NH in the Peterborough and/or the Keene area make the Peterborough Diner a place to eat. Great food, great service and a great diner! Enjoy! Stay safe and keep healthy. Safe travels.

Great classic diner- breakfast all day. We had some great pancakes with real syrup (ask for real instead of table) and a Denver omelet. They close a bit early- 2pm today so plan ahead. Located in Depot Square and there's tons of great shops to check out in walking distance. Toadstool Books is just across the parking lot

It's hit or miss with this place. Many times it was perfectly fine and good diner food, but occasionally I would get a surly waitress who couldn't keep up and took it out on the patrons. And sometimes the food was not up to par.

When a place calls itself a Diner, one would expect the food to be fresh like you would make at home like at most diners. This was possibly one of the worst meals ever. Frozen nasty dried out chicken tenders, frozen dried out hamburger patty, onion rings that say homemade on the menu are clearly frozen out of a bag. Sorry...won't be back

Outdoor seating, tasty food and good service. Gluten-free bread meant GF toast and French toast. No other GF-specific options, but eggs and breakfast meats are naturally gluten free. Still searching for gluten-free pancakes in this area. Hoping this diner will try to make that a reality. Everyone enjoyed their food. Generous portions and reasonable prices.

Dogs were allowed in the outdoor seating area. Seating indoors has been limited by COVID at the moment. Staff seemed to be good about wearing masks and keeping shared items clean.

Nice little find on a drive out to the area. From what I saw this isn't a pla e for groups over four, unless you're willing to split up. There's six in our family, and our oldest two had to sit at the counter. But I think they found that exhilarating more than disappointing. The wait staff was super nice and accommodating due to our group size.

We went on a Sunday, I believe, and it was very busy. I was taken aback when I heard that they were closing at 2pm. As we had gotten there sometime close to 1pm, and were just barely seated before I heard people having to order take out. At least the staff were willing to help these late-comers. So, if you plan to try it out, plan accordingly.

The food was typical diner fare, nothing over the top. But it was all good. Zero complaints from anyone, which can be hard to do given our size; someone always has some sort of issue. So, kudos to this diner for making our first visit a pleasant one. We'll definitely return if we're in town again.

This diner has been around as long as I can remember and it is well worth a visit. The food is delicious, and it has lots of small town character.
