Colonie Diner,

1890 Central Avenue, Albany, NY 12205

"This diner is outstanding. The food, the slightly snarky waitress and the atmosphere are all on point. I ordered the classic Eggs Benedict with home fries. The eggs were beautifully cooked, breaking in a gorgeous runny yellow when cut. The muffin was crispy, but not overdone. The Hollandaise sauce was perfect with just the right amount of lemon. I haven't had home fries like this in years! Crispy on the edges, soft and billowy potatoes in the middle, all with translucent onions. The portion size was exactly l what I wanted. I left full, but not stuffed. I'm a tea drinker and they understand how to serve tea here. Most diners offer unlimited coffee, but when you ask for a second cup of tea, they usually just bring you a cup of hot water and expect you to reuse the old tea bag. Not here! Tea was served with two tea bags, a full cup and a pot of hot water. Excellent! I can't wait to go back."

"Always plenty of seating or the wait is very short. The resturant is well kept. I always look at the ceiling in places and it's immaculate here. The staff is very attentive and the food is high quality at a reasonable price. My go to is the Colonial with pancakes and scrambled eggs for $13."

"So happy to have found this spot in the Albany area. Was up late the night before and had a late breakfast here the following day that hit the spot. Coffee was iced and way better than I expected it to be. Eggs Benedict was awesome and went great with the potatoes served with it. The one thing that blew me away about this place was how fast we got our food. The food came out in less than 5 minutes. The fasted I have ever been served breakfast at any sit down restaurant. And everything was cooked to perfection. Such a great little spot. Staff were all super friendly which stood out to me as well."

"First time for us. I love Diners and this is all diner. Good meal selection. Breakfast was Eggs Benedict and French Toast. Very tastee. Prices were reasonable and everyone was friendly. Coffee cup was always filled."

"Wonderful service, delicious food, and great company. Definitely enjoyed ourselves and it was very nice to bring a piece of delicious Greek pie out for my daughter's birthday."
