First time coming to this very busy diner. We were seated quickly and the servers were all very helpful, ours suggesting a new menu item: the pumpkin pancakes.Ended up ordering the pumpkin pancakes and a steak, egg, and cheese sandwich. Both came out pretty quickly and looked quite nice.The steak egg and cheese sandwich was a very nice size and hit the spot. The pumpkin pancakes were absolutely fabulous and the drizzle, reminiscent of that put ontop of cinnamon buns was decadent. Would highly recommend trying it!
We got there at 10 till 2 p.m. on a Saturday and they had a good crowd dining, outside on the patio as well as indoors, but the srevice was still quick and very friendly. The menu had a pretty decent variety, especially for breakfast items and sandwiches, it even included a beyond burger, and even though Id never associate it with a diner item, there was actually a mimosa on the drink menu. I had a Chicken melt which was a grilled chicken breast with peppers, onions, mushrooms and cheddar cheese on a pita, I made it a deluxe which adds fries and slaw. My husband had a patty melt (they give you an option on how well done you want the burger), his was also made deluxe. The food was pretty good and the prices were fair. The service was very good and everyone working on staff maintained a friendly and professional attitude. I would definitely recommend this place, and Id visit again.
Ive been eating at the Sherwood diner since the 1970s. Used to be super awesome food. Last visit (lunch) was just okay. Not bad but not what it used to be. The service was excellent and its still very convenient. We will prob try again when were in town.
Great little spot. Food was awesome and the service was great. Definitely a little pricey for a diner, but all in it was a great time.
Food was good, came quick and good workersGet there early. Parking lot seems to fill up fast
A good diner. Friendly service. Great green goddess dressing.
Home away from home. Sad that the menu has been greatly reduced because of the pandemic..but the choices are still plentiful and the staff there are always caring and considerte. Love this diner. Food is still the best in Westport!!
A waiter told me when I was leaving that he didn’t like my hat. Don’t wear anything with progressive messaging if you want to waste your money and come here or they’ll comment on it only after you’ve finished your meal and tipped.
Awesome cinnamon swirl pCakes that were NOT too sweet.
203BEC Breakfast Sandwich...its the bomb diggity ;) And all the food is good at this diner.
Perfect place to stop if youre hungry! All the food was excellent but the pancakes are phenomenal. Great service as well!
Great fast services and delicious food. We will definitely recommend and visit again. Very family friendly.
I’ve loved this place for years but the quality is slipping. I ordered a salad. First forkful the lettuce was rotten, second, it was not washed. A waitress took it, didn’t say they were bringing another one because I did not want one. Then when another salad did arrive, the manager said the rotten lettuce was “an issue we are working on”, implying I don’t know what about the kitchen.Then he spent 4 minutes trying to convince me that’s what happens to lettuce when it’s left out…lettuce doesn’t go rotten or have dirt on it when you leave it out to use for the day unless your kitchen is so dirty that dirt falls from the sky.Hopefully they fixed the dirty lettuce issue - but it was so disgusting to think about I can’t bring myself to order from there again.
Still a classic. Excellent, attentive service. Good food. One star removed due to abbreviated COVID menu.
Delicious food, kind and courteous staff. Milkshakes are a must if you’re feeling like you need some comfort food to accompany your meal. Flavorful chicken souvlaki and chicken + rice soup. A solid staple in Westport
My best friend and I went for lunch today. INCREDIBLE our waiter Armando is the top reason we will be returning. his enthusiasm and his sparkling customer service is top notch. the food was good, a great solid diner, our patty melts were delicious and the curly fries were perfect! 10/10 recommend and would come back again!
$18 for a burger that was flavorless. $15 for a Chicken Caesar Salad that left you hungry afterwards.
I went there with some friends for breakfast. I ordered a ham, cheese, mushrooms, onion and avocado omelette. It was piping hot and fresh. I ordered the hash browns extra crispy and they came out just right. The service was very fast and our waiter was on the ball.
Ahhh Home Sweet Home! The COVID-19 emergency has ended things are getting back to normal and its time to return to Fairfield Countys premier diner........The Sherwood Diner of Westport!Always great service, the Best food and competitive prices. You will never have a bad meal at the Sherwood trust me. Ive been going since the late 80s and it has become my go-to place for Diner Classics.Years ago there was a waitress named Liz who was the most awesome employee at the diner. Now there is Georgia. Certainly sweet as a 🍑! Attentive, focused, fast, effecient and always on point! The owner and his family keep this diner at the top of the list when choosing a diner to go to. Ive tried others and Im not going back. Sherwood Diner is the PLACE!
Excellent service (thanks, Max) and really good food.
Very polite employees a great place to relax in eat
Food was good, served quickly. Plenty of room between tables, do a good job of cleaning after customers leave
Very efficient and a great place to get a quick meal.
Great food awesome service. Went on a Sunday it was packed, and we were served so quickly .
Great omelet with toast and home fries.
Excellent service and great food...
This has been a constant favorite of mine since H.S.
Yummy versions of your favorite diner food.
Great service. Friendly servers. Excellent chefs salad. Wonderful omelette.
A Westport staple the Sherwood diner has been a great restaurant for the many years Ive lived here. Kind staff and servers, and everything on the menu tastes amazing. Try the green goddess dressing.
Always great. Staff is very helpful. Darwin is great server, customer oriented at 100%👍
Service is great foid is generous and delicious!!!
Great food. Love the Greek salad.
Best description is Over Promise and Under Deliver. Food and service not what we expected from the reviews and marketing. Seems that traffic and not quality is their objective. We ordered Greek salads and for such a simple item, it took a long time to arrive. The salads were fast food quality and came with commercial dressing.
First of all, they have a nice heated outdoor spot they continue to improve. Staff is very friendly, cordial and generous. Just a few minutes away from the beautiful Sherwood State Park and beach, this is the best local place to come and refresh. Food was hot and tasty. We liked the cheesesteak which was not your ordinary cheesesteak.
My favorite spot for brunch in Westport 🤤 Get the chocolate chip pancakes!
The breakfast was very good.The ice tea not so good.Service esd excellent?
Typical diner food. Rather high prices.
Comfort food- service was fast, friendly wait staff, food was good.
Great breakfast!! Armando is such a great server; lovely guy who really made it enjoyable. Outdoor seating is well set up and social distance is very well organized. Highly recommend!
Okay chocolate milk. Very good eggs benny. Great service!
The best service..great food.... staff is fantastic... stay well everyone!!!!
Good Greek diner.
The have a great menu, awesome food and are going above and beyond to keep everyone safe. Plenty of parking too.
Love this diner. When we drive from Boston to NY this our must go to. Everyone in our family can get what they want. My husband is a real carnivore and I love the Turkey burger and our daughter loves the spaghetti. The pie is definitely homemade.
Perennial favorite. Truncated menu :-/
Good food. Good service. A little bit chaotic due to the Covid rules
GREAT food, good service and VERY VERY CLEAN!
Clean. Good food. Friendly service!
Great food and staff.
Honestly a great place to eat
As always, excellent food & service
Friendly and fast service and good food! Four stars instead of five because prices are a bit more than I wish they were. But Im sure i will return!
Good food and service.
Outstanding breakfast and service.
Not as huge menu like many diners but still a great variety. I had the chicken and vegetables stir fry and it was excellent. My guest had a grilled chicken sandwich and she loved it. Typical diner atmosphere which is not bad. Had very good service. Great choice for lunch in a convenient location.
This diner is just ok. Id rather travel to Circle diner in Fairfield or go to a diner in Norwalk. Food is nothing to rave about. I have read in the newspaper they have had some issues with the health department and failed inspections a couple times. They do not serve alcohol or bloody marys which I am not deducting a star for but just wanted to mention.
Really cute place with lots of different things to eat. I ordered the gyros which were really good. And a milkshake which was awesome. We stopped here on our way to the airport hotel. We had four people to feed and it was perfect for anyone with any kind of taste. Id recommend going here if youre not sure on what youd like.
I sure would dine here!Seriously, that subliminal marketing trick has been working brilliantly for them for decades. They managed to outlast the Athena Diner up the road, which was a better place. This place is good enough for a 4, and considering that it is Westport it is probably one of the best dining values in town. Just be aware of the way you are being psychologically manipulated by the name.
Loved it, service was great .
I love the pancakes here. The chocolate chip pancakes are not the best though. I also get chocolate milk here it is very good. They make the eggs perfect.
Very good. First time there, the prices were very reasonable and the staff was great! Highly recommend.
Nice atmosphere and great food and service
I enjoyed every single bite of my corn beef and cabbage. Even though they ran out of peas and carrots. I had a mixed veggies, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. They were the best steamed vegetables Ive had in a very long time. The corn beef was tender, cabbage was perfect with the red bliss boiled potatoes. Highly recommend.
Great foot at a good price. Service was great. Overall a great experience!
A wonderful classic American diner with all the favorites plus Greek salads and specialties. Always fresh and good eating! Great service too!
Stopped off the highway for breakfast, and so glad we did! Fantastic diner food -- we got the gyro omelette and eggs Benedict. Our server recommended the fresh squeezed orange juice and we were not disappointed :)Also good gluten-free menu options: French toast, regular toast, pancakes... Something for everyone.
Food was very good!
Headed back to the Hartford area from a day walking all over NYC and needed to eat. The Sherwood Diner sign on the highway beckoned to us. It turned out to be the perfect place for a 9 pm refueling. All of us opted for breakfast fair and the feta and spinach omelet was great. Cherry pie and ice cream for desert made for an interesting combo but a great meal. Our waiter, Gus, was awesome.
So so good. Staff had issues wearing mask. Not covering mouth and nose.
Good steak at this location but its not a best thing. They work at 10 pm on Tuesday and its unbelievable luck for late travelers!! I was afraid to stay without dinner at all when came late to my hotel because all places are closed/no dinner options. But Sherwood rescued me with good dish! Would like visit this place again during next business trip to CT. Probably not big variations of beer and who cares when good steak in front of you!
Wait staff wonderful. Ambience cozy. Food caters to the masses. Remember Bill Knapps? A bit bland...Lots of selections... Great to get off expressway during rush hour for a break.
Great local eatery. Classic Greek American diner. Great service, easy parking. Clean, honest diner food.
UPDATE AS OF 4/1/2021 ---- unfortunately food quality problems seem to be persisting, I recd one of the Triple Decker Roast Beef Sandwiches, and the roast beef was not right. It seemed to have some old roast beef mixed in with fresher roast beef, and the spoiled/fermented flavor of the old roast beef threw a bad taste onto the sandwich. oh well.UPDATE AS OF 11/14/2020 ---- MANY OF THE PROBLEMS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AND THE PLACE IS ONCE AGAIN ON THE RIGHT TRACK - THE COLE SLAW STILL NEEDS ATTENTION BUT IN TOTAL THE PLACE HAS RETURNED TO A VERY NICE LEVEL }}}} TRY THE TRIPLE DECKER ROAST BEEF CLUB - THEY MAKE A VERY GOOD ONE /// /// /// /// the Sherwood Diner has taken a terrible turn for the worse since the patriarch/father retired. Whoever it is that took over, should not have. Not a nice place anymore. Not nice at all. We have been going there for around 30 years, and now we will never go there again. If you want to have big heads, you better have good food - and you dont. Has turned into a nasty place with poor food.
Great food and service. Typical dinner menu. I had a mushroom omelete with Swiss cheese,home fries and rye toast. Yummy. The waitress was great. Food was quick at the height of the breakfast run. Good diner.
Smelled like Clorox as soon as we walked in. Gross!The host ignored us then when we sat down the waitress pretty much threw the glasses of water on our table. We simply walked out. I don’t understand where the good ratings come from??
Took amazing good care of us. Our toddler started melting (crying) because she couldnt have a booster in the chair but didnt want a highchair. The hostess moved us to an appropriate booth and made her feel better with crayons and paper. Food was pretty good but I could have been eating anything and would have been so happy because of the personal touch.
Horrible service
The food was good, even though I didnt receive what I ordered. I never send food back, I worked in restaurants, I know what goes on with sent back food. The corned beef hash was a mix of can & home made.
Very nice place. The food was really good. I liked it.
Solid, well-prepared diner food at reasonable prices. Well kept, with plenty of space inside for diners and outside for parking.
Great food. Very clean, quick service by very friendly staff. I will be back again.
Food came out hot, fast, and tasty. Our waiter Armando was extremely friendly and attentive and made the experience excellent!
I would never ever go here again. We found a hair in our salad. The waiter offered us another one, but my son was over it. I had a pastrami sandwich. The pastrami was hard. Like who can mess up a pastrami sandwich. We stayed didnt realized that there were other options down the street. Right off the highway, but I would rather starve. It actually has other restaurants down the street from there 0.1 ml or just tad more.
Decent diner - most items are pretty good. Salads are fresh and tasty. I like their Cobb Salad. All day breakfast and late hours are ++++
Coleslaw best ever. Great gyro. Fresh coffee. Visiting from out of town. Will visit again!
The best charbroiled burgers we have ever had! We stop here everytime we travel up to see family. We go out of our way to stop!
Nice ambiance, friendly staff and great service. Parking lots on both sides were full on a Thursday early evening - always a good sign. Lots of choice on menu including breakfast any time. Food is above average and prices are very reasonable. My Eggs Benedict were great and came with home fries at only $9.95 (I took half with me when I left).Grilled cheese sandwiches are NOT $7 unless you add stuff like bacon and tomatoes at additional charge.
Delicious food and great staff!
