I have eaten here several times. I really like the spinach and feta omelet. The pancakes are soft, fluffy, and delicious . Very bright, open and clean dining area. They have large seating areas for families or groups. Great place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

We had a great experience at Fairfield Diner! Even though we arrived with a party of eight just an hour before closing, the staff was incredibly friendly and efficient. They took our orders quickly and got our food out to us in a timely manner. Everything was made fresh, tasted delicious, and every order was correct — impressive given the short notice and our group size. The atmosphere was clean, organized, and had that cozy “hole-in-the-wall” charm that makes you feel at home. The only area that could use some improvement is the women’s bathroom. The door is very heavy, the space is tight with only two stalls (one of which doesn’t lock), and the lighting is poor. Overall, though, it was a wonderful dining experience and we’ll definitely be back!

No complaints except food could have been brought out hotter. I was curious and tried the chopped steak and eggs, which is kind of in between a burger patty and meat loaf. With some salt and ketchup was fine. The interior and exterior had some nice touches, which we appreciated.

The people were kind and they did a great transformation from the former restaurant! The hashbrowns and eggs were good, but the bacon was very overdone. We went back to Fairfield Diner and the experience was better! I got the chicken Philly and french fries … it was delicious! If you spread out the filling, it’s less bun heavy. The french fries are crisp and tasty. We also got a combo skillet, which was fantastic! I absolutely will get it again!

Friendly service, good atmosphere, breakfast was ok but the pancakes were hard to cut even with a knife. Restroom was clean. Overall I recommend.

I've never had a bad meal here and all the servers are awesome. It's clean and homey. As a regular, one of the servers has our drinks ready before we sit down. She's awesome. Extra bonus, they're open on Monday
