About This Place

Located in the heart of Westport, CT, Sherwood Diner is a beloved family restaurant and classic breakfast spot that captures the timeless charm of an all-American diner while delighting guests with a diverse and flavorful menu. Whether you’re craving a hearty breakfast, a satisfying lunch, or a comforting dinner, Sherwood Diner’s culinary offerings combine tradition and freshness, creating an inviting atmosphere where every meal feels like a special occasion.

This diner excels in serving up elevated comfort food, making it a top destination for breakfast lovers. Picture the perfectly crafted Eggs Benedict – luscious hollandaise draping poached eggs atop English muffins – alongside crispy, golden hash browns that offer that ideal balance of crunch and fluff. For those seeking a lighter yet equally indulgent start, the creamy and vibrant Avocado Toast or the customizable Build Your Own Omelet promise fresh, quality ingredients tailored just for you.

Pancake aficionados are in for a treat with options ranging from the classic Blueberry Pancakes bursting with juicy berries, to the decadent Chocolate Chip Pancakes, and the intriguingly rich Banana Nutella Pancakes. Each bite smacks of warmth and indulgence, evoking the cozy comfort of homemade cooking. Diners also rave about the cinnamon swirl pancake, a flawless blend of pumpkin and cinnamon flavors rolled into a pancake that tastes like fall on a plate.

The lunch and dinner menus shine just as brightly, presenting hearty American staples prepared with care and finesse. The Chicken Parmigiana served with penne and marinara is comfort food perfected, while the tender, smoky BBQ Ribs paired with crispy fries and tangy coleslaw delivers a satisfying feast. Freshness takes center stage with options like the Chicken Souvlaki over pita or rice, accompanied by cooling tzatziki sauce that beautifully balances the dish’s rich flavors. For steak lovers, the Steak and Eggs or the Steak Egg and Cheese Sandwich provide generous portions with a touch of diner nostalgia.

The dining atmosphere at Sherwood Diner feels warm and welcoming, a perfect match for family meals, solo breakfasts, or casual catch-ups. Staff members consistently make guests feel like old friends, combining friendly service with promptness and genuine hospitality. As one visitor fondly noted, the smiles and attentiveness — epitomized by waiter Armando — make the experience that much more memorable.

Complement your meal with freshly brewed coffee or indulge your sweet tooth with a luscious milkshake priced at $8.50, or sip on one of the variety of cold drinks for a refreshing finish. And don’t miss out on their homemade desserts like the tangy Key Lime Pie, which adds a perfect zesty note to round off your visit.

What makes Sherwood Diner truly stand out are the authentic flavors and thoughtful touches that win over locals and travelers alike. As one satisfied patron put it, the homemade Corned Beef Hash and warm Matzo Ball Soup are genuine highlights that set this diner apart. Others cherish the earnest care given during busy times, where guests are even gifted pancakes while waiting — a testament to the team’s dedication to customer delight.

Whether you’re a devoted Westport resident or just passing through on I-95, Sherwood Diner promises a memorable, flavorful experience that balances classic diner nostalgia with elevated dishes made from fresh, quality ingredients. Prepare to fall in love with every bite, and count on friendly faces and comforting meals that feel like home.

    Absolute 10 out of 10. Everything you can want in a diner and more. Great, quick service, delicious coffee / cold brew, and absolutely incredible food. The Westport Omelet was cooked perfectly, crispy tasty hash browns, and the corned beef hash *chefs kiss*. On top of it all, we tried the cinnamon swirl pancake, which tasted like a perfect pumpkiny cinnamon roll decided to become a pancake for a day. Excellent.

    They are not only Friendly but also greet you with a smile. Armando is a special waiter. The food was really good. No matter your location within Connecticut or if you're on the 95, this is a must-stop.

    We are on a road trip and we stopped here for late lunch. Upon entering staff was welcoming and our server came right away to get our drink orders. We had ordered the Kale Salad and the Brussels salad. Staff are so kind and polite they gifted us delicious pancakes for our wait time since they were so busy. We will have to make a stop here anytime we are passing through!

    My go-to food spot whenever I come home to Westport! Since COVID, the food here has jumped and everything on the menu is exceptional. Highly recommend, especially the crispy chicken sandwich

    I brought my family to Sherwood Diner for lunch during their visit, and they were delighted with the food and, of course, with Armando's service. This place is wonderful; I highly recommend it.

    Had breakfast here and loved it! The fresh-squeezed juice was amazing, food was fresh and tasty, and the place was super clean and cozy. Excellent service too—friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back!

    Service was great, very clean and well maintained, food portions were good and pretty decently priced as a diner should be! Hash browns were fab, fries could be less pale, and surprising that the menu wasn’t enormous as diners usually have. This is definitely going to be a go-to for us, now that we moved to CT (:
