“This was my first visit to Chuck Wagon. Everyone says it's a great breakfast spot and everyone is correct. When I walked in, I immediately knew breakfast was going to be good. It has that great breakfast vibe. There are booths, tables and a counter with stools for seating. We sat ourselves at a table and were immediately greeted, given menus and asked if we wanted a coffee or something else to drink. The waitresses are all "seniors" and fit the breakfast waitress stereotype to the T. The tables and coffee cups have local advertising on them. So great. The breakfast menu is extensive, with eggs, omelettes, pancakes, waffles, breakfast sandwiches and combination plates. There's something for everyone. I am celiac. The waitress understood immediately and offered GF bread or toast. I had a Reuben omelet with the GF toast and a side of bacon. The GF toast is toasted in the same toaster as the regular bread but that doesn't affect me so I had the toast. It came buttered and the little jelly packets are on each table. It was GREAT. The bacon was crisp and thick. Very good. The omelette was large and well stocked with corned beef, cheese, sauerkraut and dressing. Excellent. My daughter had French toast with strawberries. The French toast was thick and well cooked. The strawberries were previously frozen but still very good. She also had a breakfast sandwich which was cooked perfectly and delicious as well. She also got a chocolate milk which was very chocolatey and large! The waitress came by multiple times to refill my coffee which is one of my checkpoints for a good breakfast spot. My coffee should always be full and hot during breakfast, and it was! If you're in Ellington , you need to check out the Chuck Wagon. It's a winner.“

“Our first visit and absolutely not our last! From.the moment we walked in, the vibe had us smiling. Our server Brittany was amazing, and the food...WOW! We got the tuna tartare as an appetizer and it was fresh and delicious. I had the salmon and he had the jambalaya. The portions were generous but not too much and the food itself was delicious! We decided to share a piece of the cheesecake of the week and were NOT disappointed! Strawberry shortcake...think the good humor ice cream bar...The owners stopped by and made sure we were enjoying our meal. Can't wait to go back!“

“This was my first time here… I absolutely loved the burger… we had ordered hangover burger and it is one of best burger you can around this part of CT. I shared the burger, so they had cut in 2 and put it 2 different plates .. that was so good … usually I have requested to cut the burger in half.. many restaurants have denied it outrightly. Chicken wings are really good and worth every penny.. I was disappointed with the French onion soup though.. it was something I didn’t like at all.. order the tarter tots instead of fries.. looks they tots are popular there .. and fries aren’t great like burger..“

“I visited At The Dam for breakfast with my 4-year-old son this morning. It was our first time here, and I already can’t wait to go back. We were warmly greeted by one of the waitresses, and both she and the other waitress, who I believe is one of the owners, were so friendly and attentive while we were there. Our food came out quickly and it was both fresh and delicious. The corned beef hash is outstanding! We both thoroughly enjoyed our experience this morning, and it’s a place our family will visit time and time again.“

“My boyfriend and I ate here tonight 3/14/24 and our server was Victoria. She was very polite the entire time. However, she forgot about my boyfriend’s beer. She was also talking and flirting with a man right behind where we were seated for most of our dinner. They were flirting the whole time, and the man was touching her in which I consider to be an inappropriate fashion. It was not the kind of sight you need to see at dinner and was gross. It took her a while to realize she forgot the beer because she was talking to this person the entire time rather than waiting on us. I recognize that this is not the fault of the establishment. I just feel as though our dinner experience was uncomfortable and feel the need to voice my concerns. We will be back! We love this place. Service could have been better.“

“We are from Rhode Island and were in the area to visit Six Flags. Found Marks Restaurant using Google maps for breakfast near me. The food was excellent. The homemade bread was even better. Probably not a common comment, but my view of the kitchen from the register it’s a very clean and neat setup. I’ve worked in foodservice delivery and have always viewed restaurants from back of house which influenced my decision to eat there. I recommend Marks and will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

Once we walked inside we saw that there were a few tables open and we were seated immediately. The waitress and hostess were so friendly and kind. The menu had lots of delicious options but I went with a class brunch meal of eggs, potatoes, bacon, and bread. The food arrived shortly after and it was one of the most delicious meals I've ever had. I'm excited to go back and try more food on their menu!P.S. They have a fin gift shop on the way out that I recommend checking out.Parking: There is a parking lot in the back with plenty of spaces.“

Those are completely great choices, for sure, but I go down-menu for a scallop platter or whole belly clams. I get their fries and Cole slaw whenever I can. My mom accompanied me this trip, and just ordered French fries and Cole slaw, with a half-gallon of chocolate chip ice cream. I can't argue with those selections. Perfect. I got a hot fudge sundae with mint chocolate chip, scratching a childhood era itch. I love this place.“

These two need to be watched. I'm pretty sure in some states it's part of a law. I would like you to speak to them. Everything else was fine.
