Orem's Diner is a Longtime Gathering Place

The original Orem’s Diner was once located on a large dairy farm owned by Charles Orem, where ice and milk were sold. The Diner has been housed in three different building since 1921. The Papanikolauo family, owners of Orem’s since 1980, relocated and rebuilt the current Diner at the intersection of Route 33 and Route 7. The original site, a few miles north was demolished for the widening of Route 7.

The restaurant has been in existence since 1921 and, according to the people who dine at Orem’s, it’s a Wilton institution, it’s where everyone gathers, it’s where Wilton happens.

Through the years, many wonderful people have been apart of Orem’s Diner. We’ve dug up some photographs of yesteryear to share with you. We welcome any photos you have of the original diner. We’d be happy to scan your original photo and return the photo back to you.
