About Duncan’s Dairy Bar

About Duncan’s Dairy Bar

Robert and Ruth Duncan opened the doors in 1939. Three generations later the same family still runs the griddle, and the bakery works from Julius Keller’s recipes.

  • Ana K. ★★★★★

    Been eating here for 30 years. Food and staff is great. They make the best huge glazed donuts but you better get there early or they will be gone. You will not be disappointed. I promise.

  • Donna D. ★★★★★

    Delicious diner. We had a fabulous breakfast. Took home leftovers because portions are so big. And even brought home a loaf of fresh bread. Can’t be beat. Prices are reasonable, portions are large.

  • Rebecca B. ★★★★★

    The Bacon egg and cheese on an english muffin ‘Duncan Dairy’ sandwich is truly UNMATCHED! Delicious in every way. It’s become our favorite breakfast spot on the weekend. So much bacon, worth every penny!

  • Robert A. ★★★★★

    Spectacular breakfast here as I traveled thru the area. Very nice people working there. Amazing baked goods too!

  • Lou S. ★★★★★

    My partner brought me here b/c he used to come here as a yout. It’s very nostalgic and old timey feel. The server was very kind and attentive. I would come again!

  • John Squadrito, third-generation owner

    It just takes a lot of dedication, a lot of dedicated employees, dedicated customers. It just takes a dedicated town to back it.
