Chances are that if you were to imagine going to a 24-hour diner you'd think of finding some backroads biker gang parked out front or contracting a painful case of explosive diarrhea after eating.
Fortunately, Post Road Diner isn't the place where you'd have to deal with either. Sure, there's the occasional group of bikers parked out front, but they aren't the bar fight type. As for bowel movements, you'd have to have a mostly liquid diet for a few days prior to going there to have that kind of response.
For the most part, PRD is one of those 'traditional' diners insomuch that they've got it decorated as a '50s diner with various pictures and chotchkes on the walls. The booths are deep enough for two to sit side-by-side with seat cushions that you sink into so much they seem to be as deep as they are long.
The most surprising thing about it, though, is the food. It's better than you would expect from a place that's open 24/7. They offer a good amount of variety in their offerings, ranging fom complex things you wouldn't expect at a diner to a basic plate of cheese fries. They also offer a few different shakes as well, however the banana flavor is to be avoided if at all possible.
Post Road Diner's biggest flaw, however, is parking. While small cars can fit in just fine, larger and bulkier vehicles like minivans or SUVs are a pain to drive through. Luckily, however, there's a shopping center behind the diner with an oversized lot so if you do have a large car make sure to pull into the Best Buy lot and walk over.
Despite the bad rap that diners typically have and the small parking lot, Post Road Diner is one of the best diners in lower Fairfield County, and certainly the best in Norwalk.
