Easily, my favorite diner. I can’t get enough of the chicken souvlaki meal: $17 for a Greek salad, French fries, a giant hunk of feta cheese, a toasted pita and 3-4 fantastically cooked and seasoned chicken breasts? YES, PLEASE. I order it when we go here for BREAKFAST. Lol. I recently had it delivered through uber eats but we also love their breakfast and they have outstanding burgers too! Definitely kicks the elm and duchess’ butts. Oh yeah, and since I had to meet a quota...

Don't live in CT anymore but i still look forward to meals at this diner. While visiting in June we ate there at least twice. Their fried seafood is just as good as the popular seafood restaurants. The Chicken parmagian is vg ery good. Their pastrami special is excellent.

I found the place truly delightful! The spaciousness and abundant light created a lovely ambiance, with calming country music adding to the relaxed feel. The waitresses were so friendly and had warm smiles, ensuring quick service. As for the food, my BLT and salad were delicious, and the vegetables were noticeably clean and fresh. Bon appétit ! 🥗🍜🍔🍳🌯🥪
