About Collin's Diner

Please be aware that Collin's Diner, located in Canaan, CT, USA, is an American diner and not a Chinese restaurant. The available customer reviews describe experiences that are far from satisfactory.

One reviewer awarded the service "worst service on the planet," citing a rude and unwelcoming staff member. This customer also mentioned that the establishment is cash-only and reported a long wait for their breakfast, ultimately stating that the poor service overshadowed any potential food quality and advised others to "Avoid at all costs!!!"

Another review detailed a similarly negative experience, describing a dominating owner/staff member who imposed numerous rules and created an intensely awkward atmosphere. The coffee was described as "atrocious," and while the food was deemed "alright," it was also considered pricey. This reviewer felt unwelcome due to their age and found the overall experience "entertaining for all the wrong reasons," noting that this seemed to be a common sentiment based on other reviews.

Given this overwhelmingly negative feedback regarding service and atmosphere at this American diner, it cannot be recommended to local users in Singapore, especially not as a Chinese restaurant, which it is not.

The help gets an award for worst service on the planet, practically yelling her non welcome. CASH ONLY. ONLY TWO PEOPLE IN TABLES!!!. I have not received my breakfast yet. No food could overcome her demeanor. I just want to leave. A place I will leave zero tip and let hr know. I'm a local but feel she is rude. If she is the owner, she needs to change or lose in very competitive fast food biz. Avoid at all costs!!! Food not good either.

The second myself and two of my friends entered we felt like we were being dominated, with the owner/cook/waitress scolding us with a list of rules/advisories of the restaurant. The coffee was atrocious; she added milk herself, with no other option. The food was alright, but pricey. The real problem was the atmosphere created by this woman. It felt intensely awkward, and there was this almost distaste for our presence simply because we were younger than the target demographic. I practically whispered “I’m gonna go wash my hands” and from way behind the counter she starts rattling off a list of guidelines for how the bathroom properly. There were signs everywhere telling you what to and what not to do. As she placed down the plate when the food came out, my friend reached for it to help, but she aggressively said “SIR, let me put it down for you.” It seems like she has good intentions, but it comes off as scary and OCD. Overall entertaining for all the wrong reasons, and reading other reviews this is pretty common.

Absolutely incredible food- made fresh right in front of you. Staff is kind and attentive. Honestly I’d detour a trip to go to this place. 10/10 highly recommend.

A little dated and showing wear. This is cash only, so come prepared. Food was OK. Owner was a little quirky. We had been traveling for hours, and my husband needed to use the restroom. She had him sit down so she could go over the menu before he could use the restroom. Then we got a lecture on how to flush the toilet.

Nice family owned place for regular towns people and travelers passing through. Owners are happy to converse. Breakfast is served as long as they're open. Simple fare that's satisfying.
