Daddio’s Diner announces it will close after nearly 20 years in Batavia

After nearly 20 years in Batavia, Daddio’s Diner announced it will close next month.

The retro diner and family restaurant at 134 W. Wilson St. posted on its social media feeds that Wednesday, Sept. 23 would be its last day of business.

“Thank you for joining us at our tables for record size pancakes, for celebrating your kids birthdays in our booths, for telling jokes and stories while bellied up at our counter,” the post reads. “Thank you for every time you came in hungry and told us how full you were as you left. Thank you for nearly 20 years of your support, your memories, your traditions, and your care. You’ve become part of our family.”

The restaurant, owned by the Beltran family, cited the rising costs of goods and an expiring lease as the reasons for the closure.

“We hope that these final weeks feel like a wonderful and loving goodbye celebration as we get to see all the faces we’ve known and loved for 20 years so we can feed you one last time,” the post reads. “Please stop in for a bite, order up your favorite meal, grab one of Mommio’s Chocolate Chip Cookies while you can, and celebrate what a special place this diner has been.”
