I'm a fan of diners and this one is my favorite. So much so that my second favorite is kind of distant second.

Men's Health Mag

The diner opened in 1946 and still supplements the familiar fare with a local delicacy known as a steamed cheeseburger . Another possibility: the Greens Supreme soup . Read more

Was blown away by the food here; got the special one Saturday morning which featured what felt like a trip through Ireland. Had to wait in line outside due to space limitations inside!

Gregory Brennan

Tremendous breakfast selection for a diner . Try the Bob Wolf omelette named after a regular patron. It's a Mexican spiced omelette . Usually crowded .

Jason Castonguay

Everything about this diner is *AWESOME*! I especially love the little sweetbread morsels you get before you order.

Sue Arsenault

Banana Bread french toast...a real treat, but very rich. I brought half home & had it for supper. Yum...

Feel like you've just spent a shit ton of money on a college education and don't know what to do with your life? First things first: get the graduate omelette . Hey, it's a start….

Outstanding service . Great off beat menu. Went out of their way to greet out of towners.

It's already been said, but this is the best breakfast ever! You must get the jalapeno bacon !!

Sean Dao

Great breakfast . Sweet or savory

Allergy friendly ! The specials are amazing as are the steamed cheeseburgers ! Their coffee isn't swill either! That's rare for a diner !

Josh Wilson

Vinnie 's special surprise breakfast would be the right thing for my BF! Gotta bring him here soon!

Becky Russo

Can’t comment on the food because they closed the door in our faces an hour and a half before their listed “closing” time. Made a special detour to try this place and it was extremely disappointing.

Saarim Zaman

Avoid the brunch rush and come for a weekday lunch .

Only one bathroom in the back. Watch out for the faucet because it shoots out like a firehose.

Robert Robley

So far everything is so good...

Gaby Gingola

Overrated, honestly. The servers are rude and the fact that they close at 2pm is absurd

Jon Coleman

Best breakfast ever...

Brendon Lavernia

Don't get the food.

Best breakfast in CT!

This diner has been around for as long as I can remember. Take a look at the pictures of patrons on the wall. Kay, the proprietor, remembers EVERYONE (even me!) and often has stories to tell, too! :) - X

The food is subpar and the service is inattentive and incredibly slow. My three over-easy eggs with potatoes and toast came to my table a literal forty minutes after I ordered. - Brian Lee
