I was grateful to see O'Rourke's reopen and the food is as good (if not better) than it ever was. Brian is right there passing out bread like he always has. It's kind of weird to see it all new and...

I was impressed with the speciality omelettes, the bakery selections, and the lemon poppy bread upon being sat. I ordered an egg white western omelet and it was good. My parent's food looked appealing...

So, I realize I'm an anomaly for 2 reasons: 1) I visited a diner knowing I cannot eat dairy, and 2) am one of the few people that had an awful experience here. I have been to a dozen or so diners...

We discovered this diner when our daughter moved to Middletown. It is our greatest discovery in years. The food is fantastic, the service warm and friendly and we can't wait to go back.

Do they really need another 5 star review? Sure, why not? :) Order the daily special- don't even bother looking at everything else on the huge menu. You can't go wrong with whatever Brian...

It's good...ish. It was much better before the fire, but lately it's been pretty hit-or-miss. The food's not bad, don't get me wrong, far from it! It doesn't feel much like a diner anymore, though -...

An institution! Everything here is delicious, especially the breads (which really should be called "cakes" for accuracy). You must rebuild - rebuild and return to your former glory!
