Places like this are disappearing fast. Classic diner fare is served up daily at this downtown White River diner, a relic of the day when railroad crews working the freight and passenger lines swarmed in for lunch. (Amtrak still makes a daily stop across the street.) The diner's interior is painted robin's-egg blue, the walls are hung with railroad photos and train models, and the locals on...

The Polka Dot was the sort of place Joseph Mitchell would have loved, but fo better or worse, it is no more. The building is on the mArket, but the price is much, much too high, and the railroad owns the land on which it sits,

Quaint little place. You can park by the train station. Good prices, friendly down home staff. The grill is right by the counter seating so you can see your food cooked.

Great Classic Diner

Great chance to enjoy a classic New England Diner. Friendly service and experience! This Diner has been part of the White River Junction scene for a long time. Try the corn-beef hash for breakfast or lunch. You will enjoy it. Also all of the baked goods are homemade and will be enjoyed!

Sad demise of a classic old diner

Alas. After over 50 years of serving burgers, fries, and other comfort food 24/7 to railroad workers, college students, and Vermonters, the Polka Dot has closed!!! It is shuttered, and the lady at the information center says the owner passed into her '80s and closed the diner five months ago (mid-2014). It is in bad shape. Through the windows one...

Defunct

Appears to be defunct, probably victim to the hipper places down the street. Awaits an arson insurance incident or something.

Nice people, great doughnuts

Doesn't look like much from the outside and we almost opted for the coffee bar across the street but glad we didn't. Friendly old fashioned service, reasonable prices and old fashioned doughnuts that were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. A couple coffees, and couple eggs and a couple of doughnuts and the bill was pocket change. Does look...

Hangout for locals

In a town that is almost impossible to find food, it's a welcome sight. It's an old, dated diner car but quite clean and welcoming.
Their menu was very reasonably priced and the service was fine.

The food was great but the service was not the best. Only one waitress and she never refilled our cups and seemed overwhelmed. Half way through breakfast a man and women started cleaning the table behind us and apparently weren't too happy about it. She was slamming the plates and cups around so hard I'm surprised something didn't break and...

The owner needs to spend some $$ here. The booths were too tired, had been hand reupholstered and smelled. The food presentation was non existent

Excellent food, reasonably priced, breakfast and lunch. Located clost to RR station. Employees are very decent people. Highly recommend

Overall, I like the Polka Dot. While it’s a bit tired and worn, the staff is friendly, the food decent and afforable, and it’s a nice part of White River Junction history.

We stopped here on our way to Stowe Monday evening, October 4. It's a nice diner. Yes, things look a little old, but it's a DINER. It should look a little historical -- that's part of the charm.…

Closed for business.

If you're in WRJ and you are looking for a place that has a good, solid breakfast, Polka Dot is the place. It's been there for quite a while and looks like it too. Everything on the menu is pretty…

This place is one of the highlights of this sleepy town. Teeming with locals and classic greasy spoon fare it's a bit of a museum. I haven't attended the morning romp at this little jewel for many…
