Ford News Dinner - Middletown

If you want a classic diner, this is the place. Good food, good atmosphere, great coffee. Many locals at the counter for breakfast, visitors warmly welcomed also. If I was here more than overnight I would have returned a second time.

Worst mistake ever was going to Ford News! I even felt like Google reviews are never to be trusted! We did go in the peak hours on a Sunday, but they got our order wrong with burnt chocolate chip pancakes and potatoes! They even brought someone else’s order on to our table and took it away when they realized it wasn’t ours! Not even a refill of coffee was offered! Such a disappointment, when looking at Google reviews!!!

Absolutely wonderful find! The atmosphere is adorable and staff/service was great. The food was so good! Definitely recommended!

Just got my keys to my office today (Noema Hypnosis Healing) a block from the Ford News Diner so I wanted someplace special to eat as I moved in and this place really helped me understand why Middletown is so special. I met Kay, the owner, and she was so sweet and very welcoming to the neighborhood. She has been at this location for 38 years!!!! Her son Kim is now running the family business and Gloria does a real good job on the griddle. I ordered chicken fingers, fries, and a hot dog. The fingers were the freshest I have had in a long time. Really, really good! The hotdog was also great! I ordered it with sauerkraut, bacon. Ketchup and mustard!!! All real good!!!! She has so many photos up of customers!!!! She really is proud of her restaurant and the city of Middletown!! Make sure to stop here and say HI to Kay, Kim, and Gloria. The place is a part of the cities history!!!!

What a great joint! The workers and staff were super nice, efficient and the food was exactly what you want from an excellent greasy spoon diner! Just wonderful.
