We ate on the right side of the restaurant, and it smelled musty. The bathroom smelled. It was expensive for a hole in the wall, and the food was OK. They didn't have two things that we ordered from the menu. More

Good place to eat! They have a very good variety of sandwiches, and our grilled veg sandwich was good. There is a good feel of of a small town place.

Quite possibly the best diner in town and the tri-town area. Always fresh food and fast service. Debbie is especially an awesome server! If you want food that tastes like grandma made it, that dip into happy nostalgia of yesteryear and warm hugs, go no further then Trackside Diner. More

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review – Trackside Diner, Sidney NY
Trackside Diner is a classic small-town spot that gets it right. The food is good, portions are generous, and the prices are fair. Breakfast is especially strong — eggs, pancakes, home fries, and coffee all come out hot and fresh. Lunch and dinner plates are solid, too, with plenty of homestyle comfort options.
The staff is friendly and welcoming, and you always feel like they appreciate your business. It’s not fancy, and it doesn’t need to be. It’s clean, it’s relaxed, and it’s exactly what a diner should feel like.
If you’re in Sidney and want a dependable meal without overthinking it, Trackside is a great choice.

Brought our grandson here because he is a big railroad/train nut. Nothing fancy, but very friendly people with good food at reasonable prices. He was excited to see some rare rail car on this train as we left.

When I first called someone said hello and then hung up. Second time someone else answered and it was fine my order was taken. I will say the food was alright, but nothing that would make me want to return for it, unfortunately. More

For the price and quality of food, this is a gem in Sidney. We had the Friday Haddock buffet, and highly recommend it. I got fried, wife got grilled, both were superb. The seafood soup/clam chowder? Was outstanding! Being a USAF vet the 10% discount was greatly appreciated!

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but everything was great The service was quick, friendly, and professional. We had the fish fry, and it was really good. House battered fish had a great flavor. Their house made tarter sauce was really good. Definitely recommend.

I stopped here for lunch, I had a breakfast sandwich and some hashbrowns. The food tasted great. My waitress was very happy and provided exceptional service. I wasn’t sure what to expect because this is only one of two options that I found for food in this town and the other option had no cars out in front and this place was full of cars, glad I stopped here. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
