Carman's Diner

This diner was a nice and friendly place to enjoy lunch after crossing the border. We ordered a cheeseburger with fries (+ gravy) and a hamburger which were actually made there on-site and reasonably priced. The burgers were fresh and they gave us a TON of gravy fries! We'd go back if ever in the area again. 😊

Great home cooking in a 50s Diner with tabletop jukebox "wallbox." Large portions, friendly staff and ia obviously very connecred to the community. Plenty of parking and recommendwd by our motel. We eecommend it now, too. From burgers to hot sandwiches to salads and three meals a day. Desserts looked delicious, we were just too full to try.

Great portion sizes and decent prices! The service was kind and the food tasted amazing. I ordered the double cheeseburger and the patties were huge and juicy and my grandparents both had hot sandwiches which were delicious! Has been a long time since I have had a restaurant burger that has made me actually say "Wow!". Can't wait to go back because I can't get that burger out of my mind!

We were visiting from out of town and had lunch at this diner. The staff and food were fantastic. There were several tables available when we arrived but each was full by the time we left. They seem to have many regulars they know by name which is always a great sign! Will definitely be back if we visit again!

I had the pleasure of arriving at the establishment just moments before closing time, and to my delight, I was greeted by a team of friendly and welcoming staff. Their warm and inviting service made me feel truly appreciated, despite my late arrival. As I sat down to enjoy my meal, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional quality of the food. Each dish was prepared with utmost care and attention to detail, resulting in a culinary experience that exceeded my expectations. The flavors were rich, the ingredients were fresh, and every bite was a testament to the chef's culinary expertise. What made the experience even better was the reasonable price at which this memorable dining experience came. I found the cost to be fair and reasonable, especially considering the high-quality food and the overall enjoyable atmosphere. In summary, my visit was a wonderful experience, from the friendly service I received upon arrival to the delectable food that satisfied my taste buds, all at a price that left me feeling content. I will definitely cherish the memories created during this visit and eagerly look forward to returning in the future.

The best thick shakes in the world! We heard about this diner when we were on a river cruise in Europe. Fantastic! Friendly people and clean washrooms, too.

Friendliness of staff and my coconut shrimp appetizers were wonderful. My husband wasn't quite as thrilled with half of his hot meat sandwich plate. The sandwich itself was good, but the stuffing had too much sage in it, the mashed potatoes could have been more mashed, and the corn tasted stale. Lots of other menu options are available though, and the place is clean and has lots of history.

Honestly, I'm very disappointed in this place. I had asked for specifics on my burger and got things i didn't ask for, and I didn't get things I did. The taste is mediocre. It was worth a shot but will not attend again. Edit to respond: Just so you know, it wasn't just my order that came with the wrong toppings. Im giving a review of just my order, however there was a group of 3 of us and 2/3 did not receive what we ordered on the burger. I fully understand mistakes happen, it's quite disheartening to read your response. It seems honest reviews do not settle with yourself. It was not cheap to eat out at your restaurant so if I was unhappy with it, I can reflect that on my review in which I did. I went ahead and fixed it to a 1 star rating, by your response there's not a chance I'll go back to even give it a second try on the off chance I'm in the area again. I review almost every restaurant I attend. I'm sorry you're offended by my review, instead of taking it as an opportunity to look for ways to improve.

Blueberry Pancakes!! When you look at the menu, your option is that you can only order 1 pancake. I was shocked ... until it arrived. The pancake is HUGE - it's almost bigger than the plate. And the taste is perfection! If you have a craving - head here for the best blueberry pancake ever!

I love a classic diner, and this hit the spot! Great bacon and American cheese omelette with fries

The service was great. The small diner experience is one I enjoy. The food is a little bland.

This place always brings back childhood memories everytime I visit. And the food is even better. If I could rate it 10 stars I would

The fish chowder was delightful. I wish we lived nearby but it's a long drive from Winter -Haven FL.

Great little diner with tabletop jukeboxes Family of 5 ate for $60 great home made food and great service

The staff was friendly, but the food was bland and needed seasoning and lacked flavor. My mother ordered the highly recommended seafood chowder... although it did have a lot of ingredients in it, it was lacking in seasoning. I ordered the fish and chips which was also bland, and the coleslaw side that came with it came in a small paper cup that is usually used for serving ketchup. Not impressed at all... maybe we should have stuck with what this place is "known" for- their burgers.

Being from the North Shore, and growing up with seafood as a part of daily life, I can't stress enough how PERFECT this seafood chowder at Carman's is. A perfect broth, nice and thin, seasoned to perfection! #NewBrunswick #SaintStephens #Chowder #Chowdah

We have eaten here several times as we often pass through St. Stephens. Friendly service, good breakfasts, turkey sandwiches, pretty good fish and chips. Awful coffee. Every time. Weak, thin, sockwater.

Carman's Diner is popular with the locals (at least that's what the locals we met told us), and it proved a nice place to grab a casual dinner. It's family-owned and has a very friendly staff; even though we were certainly strangers, we got a very cordial greeting and quick service. The menu is diner-like with lots of choices, and we went with seafood (scallops) and club sandwich. Both were good, and so were the ice cream floats we ordered for dessert. (Our waitress wasn't sure how to make one, but with our directions she did a very good job.) We know little of other dining choices in the area, but we'd have no problems returning here and wanted to alert Yelpers to its existence.

After reading the menu, I was looking forward to trying the creamed lobster-over toast. However, they ran out of lobster and thus, I settled for the pork sandwich with gravy and fries. And, I must say it wasn't bad at all. Add to that a very clean restaurant and amicable/friendly waitresses (who are also the owners), and you have a winner. Hopefully, one day, I can go back and try the lobster dish. I will call ahead.

Stopped in on my visit to St Stephen, it's a pretty typical small town diner with a lot of charm. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food was great and reasonably priced. I would recommend their milkshakes!

Go anywhere else! Earlier this month, we spent a few days out near beautiful Oak Bay. Whenever we rolled into town, there were many cars around this restaurant so we thought we'd give it a try. What a mistake! We came during lunch... it was busy but the owner/manager barely acknowledged us. She seemed to look at us, then at several dirty tables, and then do nothing to get us seated. After several minutes I took it upon myself to clear the table and she hurried over saying she was about to do that "any sec." It pretty much went downhill from there. It took 40 minutes to get a mediocre and expensive lunch. The waitress was friendly - we appreciated that! The highlight was we got to leave. I'd skip this place for anything else you can find in town.

What a sweet little find! The ladies running the place were so friendly and service was fast. Husband had the fresh roast beef, mashed potatoes with gravy, and carrots. Besides wanting a little salt added to the veggies, he loved it. I ordered the toasted club with fries- it was SO, so good. They use fresh cooked-in-house turkey and it was amazing. Traveling with toddlers can be stressful at times, but Carman's was so inviting and welcoming to our 1- and 3-year olds. One had turkey with corn & mashed potatoes, the other had a burger. Both enjoyed their meals. Be sure to pop across the street for a fun souvenir pic in the large sign with character head cutouts! :-)

Classic diner atmosphere. You'll want to order a milkshake. Exceptionally friendly service. When I was there, a couple was there celebrating their 47th anniversary. They'd eaten there the day they got married and have been back every year since. Another couple paid for their meal. It's that kind of place. Homey. Like going back in time. Just an all around good experience here.

This is a great family style diner. We had breakfast here twice and were very pleased each time. Food portions were large, coffee was hot and fresh and the staff were wonderful. We'll be back!

Classic diner, got exactly what I was expecting. Good mostly homemade food, nice friendly service.

This place is always open, a beacon in the night for years and years. Quality food at an affordable price. With great service. It's a quaint diner but the hot sandwiches are spot on and there's free refills on your tea. I will definitely keep coming back.

Probably the worse dinner I have had in many years. I wish there was a negative star to give. Tasteless fish. Canned peas. Two small scoops of dry mashed potatoes and a tiny limp salad. Overpriced. Don't even consider eating here. You will regret it

Turkey salad plate (dark turkey) was huge; couldn't eat it all. Very good fish chowder. Wife had a plain old hamburger and side salad which she said were good. Prices were fair. Diner was crowded, many folks had to wait for a table to be vacated (Friday evening, too, which are very busy eating-out nights). Back room was closed; obviously short staffed. Took forever to get our order, hence the 3 star. Seems like every customer knew the other one. Would eat there again if I thought the service would be faster.

Very friendly service. I had the T-bone steak and it was easily the worst steak I have ever had. I ordered it medium done and it was clearly more than well done. It was very thin, chewy and had no flavour. My father in law had the same and agreed. The other people in my party had sea food and club sandwiches and enjoyed their meals. Just not the spot for steak :(
