    Typical diner fare, very generous portions, and a huge variety of baked goods. It made for a perfect stop on a road trip. Everything was great, including the service.

    OFF DAY FOR LUNCH CHEF? Ordered a Cobb Salad. What came was huge chunks of vegetables you canโ€™t fit in your mouth that needed to be all cut up to eat. Ordered a BLT with rings no mayo. Came with Mayo and fries. Came back fixed but very little bacon. Mostly lettuce. Wait staff was very nice, though.

    Our first time here, will definitely go back. Was warmly greeted, nice, clean dining room. Susie our server was nice and accommodating. Food was hot and very delicious. Big portions, you won't go home hungry that's for sure! Huge dessert selection. Lots of parking and easy off/on highway. Highly recommend.

    Just off the Interstate, this family-owned diner delivered breakfast, lunch and dinner to a car full of hungry travelers. Big portions. The challah bread French toast was a memorable delight, delivered with a large serving of crispy bacon. California-style eggs Benedict terrific. Salmon served with soup and iceberg lettuce salad. Service friendly, helpful, and attentive โ€” but like everywhere these days, a tad overstretched. Restrooms very clean, even on a holiday weekend.

    Been going here for years and have never been disappointed with the meals we've chosen and the the service that's always very welcoming.On this visit we both had two different burgers , the Country Burger Cheddar cheese, bacon, BBQ sauce, topped with fried onion rings and the Greek burger which had Feta cheese, tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce...we both had everything on the side so we can put the toppings on ourselves since the burgers were Soo big. They came perfectly cooked medium as requested and the fries came in also very hot .......service was great as usual ...and they serve coleslaw ina bowl prior to your meal which is a nice touch in my opinion .....we will continue to come to this diner as long as nothing changes to the the way they operate ....thank you again for a great meal and awesome service.!!!

    I LOVE diners. It is an east coast, childhood thing for me, I guess. Fond memories. The diner had a huge selection for every meal. If you could not find it on the menu, probably didnโ€™t need it. My SIL and I both ordered the Eggs Benedict (I ordered the hollandaise sauce on the side because it is either feast or famine when it comes to such things. I ordered a large OJ with water and she ordered a soda. I really wanted to try the French toast made from Challah, so I just ordered one piece to try. Overall, everything was very good. The treats they have as you enter, both above the counter and in the refrigerated cases, are so tempting. They look so perfect. I wanted a chocolate eclair but had already paid my bill and my SIL commented, โ€œeh, they always look better than they are.โ€ At the time I am writing this review, I do not know if that comment was based on experience, or she just wanted to get goingโ€ฆ very impatient ๐Ÿ™„ - she is a New Yorker, from birth, so I pretty much expect it. I am from the coast too but I have a bit more patience to browse, look and shopโ€ฆ Anyway, before I leave I hope to stop back for one or two of their sweets ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Blue Colony Is Great! I always loved coming here to eat and socialize with my brother and my friends. The food is good, and they have a ton of baked goods. The interior is decorated well. Thereโ€™s plenty of parking. Without doubt I recommend Blue Colony! Have a great day!

    Amazing. Just great. Stopped in on way home from Daytona Bike week and definitely the best meal we have had on the east coast. If you enjoy a variety of hearty meals and desserts that are out of this world... Stop in here. Easy on/off, and good parking for both trailers and semi trucks.

    Great service and very impressed with my Server Sue who is fantastic! The lamb shanks and roasted potatoes were hot when served. The shanks were very tender and melt in your mouth. The portions were well proportioned. Happy to have leftovers for another day! This was my first time there and certainly not my last. Would recommend to everyone!๐Ÿ˜

    I know it's a pretty basic sandwich but it was the best turkey club that I've had in a long time. The bread was super soft but toasted ๐Ÿž It came out super quick and the fries were also delicious. Love an old fashioned diner where you can sit at the bar

    LOVED IT!!!!! We had driven in from VA to visit with family. We always stop at this diner!! ALWAYS!!! Absolutely love the food!!!!!! VA knows nothing about diners!!! The fresh baked hard roll or Portuguese rolls are absolutely to die for up north!!!!! Food just taste better in a diner!!!! If you are not from that area and are hungry... stop here!!! Your belly will thank you for it!!!!

    Nice diner, great menu and WOW the bakery is amazing with easily 40-50 choices of cake, pie, baked goods, and especially the cookies, cakes, and baklava by individual serving or packaged boxes. Service is quick, friendly and efficient. I have never felt rushed.

  • 5/5 Karen W. 9 months ago on Google
    Very cool, retro setting, being an old diner. Really adds to the atmosphere and the food is amazing. From down home meals like stuffed peppers and light lunches like grilled cheese, to an incredible and delicious bakery selection, this is one of my favorite places to eat. The dining area is spacious and the desserts, as well as other baked goods are to die for. The staff is both friendly and efficient. I love this place and wish I lived closer!

    First time coming to this diner, and was a bit disappointed since we've heard really great things.. we ordered eggs Benedict that came with home fries, and a bacon egg and cheese on a roll with a side of home fries. We ordered the sandwich because we saw someone else's that looked very plump and good! However, ours was open, weirdly cut, and not put together that well. Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of that. The eggs Benedict was alright had a lot of the slimey whites. The home fries were not cooked all the way at all. That was the case for both of them. Some pieces were harder than the others Maybe we'll come back for dinner at some point in the future. Maybe it was just very busy this morning, and they wanted to hurry and get all of the food out.

    Worth a visit!! We came around a busy time and there was many cars in the parking lot but it's bigger than it looks. When you're seated it doesn't feel crowded. Prices were from 9-16+ dollars. All of the food came in big portions and was super filling. I'd recommend the breakfast menu. They serve it all day and there's many delicious options. I had an excellent chicken pot pie that came with soup and a salad for $15~ The kids menu was $6-9 dollars. They have grilled cheese, spaghetti, and much more.

    First visit here and was very happy with it. Menu was huge...many choices. For a diner, it was was very clean inside. This isnt your typical greasy spoon. Waiter was friendly and the food was very good. I had the Italian Burger with a side of fries. Burger was not a sopping greasy mess but was tasty, with a good amount of toppings. I had a cup of coffee as well. .. waiter brought out a mug of coffee! Even the coffee was tasty...not burnt old jo. Btw the way at the table was a sign advertising bottles of wine at prices that you usually don't see in a restaurant. This place has been here a long time, wish I had come here sooner! As an afterthought.. If the chefs there read this.. add some hot pickled cherry peppers to that Italian Burger for a real winning alternative.

    It was a lot of food for my liking. Taste was average, but it was a cute place. I do have to say that I should've asked about the portions because I threw away too much food and felt guilty.

  • 5/5 Kira Q. 1 year ago on Google
    I LOVE this diner! I have been coming here for years and the place is never a let-down. Great for breakfast, lunch, dinner and the middle of the night, gotta-get-off-84-for-a-bit-snack. They still have the 3-course specials that can feed you for days. Plus, their baked goods are as good (if not better) than most bakeries. Always, ALWAYS a wonderful experience. Some say the place is retro, but it's not; it is clean and TIMELESS! Plus, Adele was our server (and she was so kind, nice, sweet, & attentive that she deserves a big shout-out!). Thank you, Blue Colony for being so awesome!

    Did the two eggs and corn beef hash. With home fries and rye toast. Mmmmm. BIG black coffee. Great specials on the huge menu. Back on the trail. RT 84, Exit 10. I hate Rt 84. Blue Colony a life saver.

  • 5/5 Chris R. 1 year ago on Google
    The classic diner is a pla e you can get anything on the menu at any time, has a diverse menu of favorites and comfort foods, and a huge dessert selection. In this way, Blue Colony doesn't disappoint. But they're not just good, they're what every diner SHOULD be! From the beautifully maintained retro / art deco chro.e decor outside, to the clean and spacious inside, and the welcoming friendly staff, Blue Colony is a diner worth driving to. The food was tasty, the portions were generous, and our server and the owner(?) made us feel like their favorite family members. I only pass through this area occasionally for work but after those long hours and late nights, I'll definitely appreciate pulling into the Blue to relax and refuel.

    I have driven by this place a lot. l finally went with my friends and it was awesome. The staff are funny, kind, and work really hard. The food was great with reasonable prices. Definitely recommend this place plus, itโ€™s open 24 hours, which is great because places close so early for good food. Iโ€™ll definitely be back more often.
