Scott of Daddio's Diner

Meet Scott of Daddio's Diner!

When you’re looking for a neighbor spot that serves up old-school comfort food with some retro charm and a deep sense of community and care, look no further than Daddio’s Diner (134 W Wilson St.) The diner began as a lifelong dream of owners Scott and Terry Beltran. Their goal was to fuse together their passions for food and community, oldies music and nostalgic decor, and a place for family and friends to gather and create memories. For over 18 years, they have been making that dream a reality in the heart of downtown Batavia.

Daddio’s is the place where locals have their favorite spot at the counter, where kid’s eyes widen playing I-Spy as they await their “record-sized” pancakes. It’s a place where anyone, no questions asked, can redeem free food with a “cup of kindness” ticket from the community board, generously supported by our community for years as part of our “Pay It Forward” program. The walls read “ I am Everyday People,” a lyric from the famous song by Sly and the Family Stone, which also serves as the motto that fuels the energy of the diner. Daddio’s Diner is a place for everyone, to enjoy soul-warming food alongside the people they love.

In addition to offering breakfast (all day), lunch, and dinner from the regular menu, Daddio’s also features weekend specials that center around the holidays, retro music, cult classic films, or beloved community events. Stop in and see why Daddio’s has been a cornerstone of the community for over 18 years.
