The Vanikiotis family has owned and operated restaurants in the Hudson Valley since 1981, beginning with the Palace Diner in Poughkeepsie. Their properties include the Daily Planet Diner in Lagrangevi…
I give Daily Planet 5 stars for the food. This was a delivery order. When it arrived, I noticed all the dressing looked like it was thrown in a paper bag, and two tops popped off. Luckily only a little dressing spilled out. I'm glad we ordered extra dressing. Maybe to solve this, the restaurant should put the dressing right in the food containers. The food is always great!

The Fonz Burger is a delicious all-American burger. A big thick beef patty cooked to your preference. I had mine medium, which is the rarest option. This burger was piled high with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and red onions. The cheese was melted, and their special sauce rounded out all flavors. The bun was big and soft and held everything in place, but don't take too long to eat it or the juices will escape and melt the bun. If you're looking for a good hearty burger, The Fonz is what you want. I would definitely order it again! I ordered fries to go with my burger, which were cooked perfectly.

I'm not sure what happened, but for the cost of the Chocolate Chip Cookie ( $4.09), it was disappointing to see two small cookies where for years it was a nice big chuncky cookie. You can't charge me the same price and give me a third of the product! Can we please do better?

My favorite local diner. I used to get takeout from here on a weekly basis for months before the DoorDash fees started to make it unsustainable. They have a wide selection of consistently high quality food. The hot food is always freshly prepared and delicious. The bakery items and other desserts are always a nice, indulgent treat.
Also, they get bonus points for their namesake being a Superman reference.

The Uncle Charles Onion Soup is usually top tier. It had a little bit of an aftertaste and was too salty. To be fair, it was a Monday. The Filet of Sole Francaise was delicious and very nicely prepared. Daily Planet is consistently tasty.
