Hear from our valued guests
This morning, I went to the Fair Haven Diner with my family, and honestly—it was amazing. From the moment we walked in, the place had such a welcoming, classic diner vibe. You know the kind—cozy booths, the smell of fresh coffee in the air, and that soft hum of conversations and clinking plates that just feels like comfort. We sat down, checked out the menu, and I went straight for breakfast. I ordered the pancakes… and wow. They were so good—fluffy, golden, buttery, just the right amount of sweetness. Every bite was like a little slice of weekend heaven. The whole experience was just easy and enjoyable. My family loved their meals too, and we all kind of lingered longer than usual because the atmosphere was so chill. Great food, great company, and a great little spot in town. Fair Haven Diner? 10/10—would go back in a heartbeat. Really looking foward to try the Nutella Pancakes next time, great place again.
Amazing diner in the perfect town of Fair Haven! Great, cozy spot for a date and also super family friendly to bring everyone. Food is made from scratch, each item! I had the breakfast quesadilla and my husband had the lumberjack. Both amazing. Highly recommend!
My 3rd time here for breakfast. Food is consistently good and the portions are generous. Great service and the owners are so warm and welcoming. Great addition to Fair Haven.
I had a great first impression and positive experience with the FHD! I ordered online and made a mistake and they were so helpful on the phone and accommodating. While we did not dine in, the atmosphere looked warm & welcoming. Now onto the food- everything we had ordered tasted great! from breakfasts to soups, salads, dinners. it was all VERY good. Will definitely be going back for more!
Excellent service with a fantastic menu! Breakfast served all day and French toast was delicious. Nice booth size and seating. A family friendly place with a large menu to satisfy all.
Nothing not to like here. Great,Food,Service and Atmosphere.It is also a BYOB! Mike the owner is friendly and engaging! Great to have a dinner like this in the area. I will be back many times in the future!
Super friendly staff, excellent selection of diner classics— high quality food. We had the smash burger specials and they were to die for!! Along with the summer salad, soups, and desserts. A must visit — this place is a gem!!
I have not been disappointed any of the times I've eaten here since its inception. They definitely know what they're doing. The food is fresh, delicious, and perfectly plated. They serve plentiful portions. The service is top-notch with very friendly and welcoming staff. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed and impeccably clean. I've been here for breakfast, brunch, and lunch, and both the quality of the food and the service have been consistent. It's become one of my faves quickly!
Fair Haven Diner is owned by the same family that owns Broad Street diner in Keyport which is one of our favorites so you have to try it and you won’t be disappointed. We come to both regularly and this time I had the Lumberjack breakfast with walnuts added to the shortstack pancakes and a side of fruit cup. My wife had the gyro pita sandwich which fed both of us! FHD has an extensive diner menu and they also now serve dinner! Come check them out and you won’t be disappointed!
I was really impressed with Fair Haven Diner. The staff was attentive, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. The place has a warm and comfortable vibe that makes it easy to relax and enjoy a meal whether you come in the morning or later in the day.
