The Richford Diner

They've started cutting into the ceiling 😱🫣

🚨 HOOD UPDATE! 🚨

First, from the bottom of our hearts... THANK YOU. ❤️

This community continues to amaze us every day!!

As of today, you have helped raise a little over $18,000 toward our new hood system. Every donation, every share, every recommendation, every kind word, every meal purchased, and every person cheering us on has made a difference.

Owning a small-town diner isn't always easy, but moments like this remind us why we do it. The support we've received has been overwhelming in the best possible way. We are incredibly grateful, humbled, and blessed to have such an amazing community standing behind us. 🙌

📢 Materials for the new hood will be purchased Monday!

🏁 Our FINAL hood fundraiser will be:
June 27th
Noon–4 PM
Ringwood Raceway
Come hang out, have some fun, and help us push this project across the finish line!

Now for the part that hurts our souls...

🔐 The Richford Diner will be CLOSED July 6th–9th while the new hood is installed.

That's right.

No breakfast.
No lunch.
No fish fry.
No coffee.
No pie.

We're honestly not sure what we're supposed to do with ourselves for four whole days! 🙄 We may wander aimlessly through asking strangers if they'd like home fries and to add onion. We may start serving imaginary pancakes to our dogs. We may stare longingly at the grill and whisper, "soon."

But the temporary closure means a safer, better future for the diner, and we couldn't be more excited.

Thank you for helping make this happen. This hood isn't being installed because of us.

It's being installed because of YOU. ❤️

We love you all more than words can say.

Extremely grateful for all of these people who volunteered their time to help move everything out of the kitchen! It is cleaned up and everything is out for the next crew to come in and work on the installation! Thank you Pastor Dennis Prentice for gathering strong men to get the job done 🙏🏻

We've had a packed house for hours 😀

We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as our cooks work constantly to get the food out of the kitchen!

We have sold out of home fries and omelet ingredients but can still do eggs, toast and meat 🥓

We have lunch ready and have called in additional help!

Help us sell out of our food today! So far you all have surely showed up.

We have had to tell people there is some wait time and for that we apologize. Those who have come back we thank you and for those who couldn't wait we hope to see you again soon. (We have caught up and currently there is not wait time)

Let's get our Lunch on 😊 💃🏻 🕺🏻

Open until 4pm

Dine in • Takeout • order online • call 607-657-5120

Good Morning beautiful people 🌞

Today's the day to make time for the diner!

Open until 4pm today 🤤

Come get your diner favorites before the installation of the NEW kitchen hood made possible by the community and beyond!!

We are truly grateful and overwhelmed by the generosity and continued support. None of this would be possible without you all.

Keep watching Facebook for updates and if we don't see you today we'll see you Friday 🤞🏻 🙏🏻

Just tell your server, "I'll take one of everything." You'll be all set during the temporary closure. 😜
