I had an absolutely terrible experience at The Angry Egg in Manchester, CT. From the moment we arrived, the process was cold and impersonal. They require you to sign in like you’re at a DMV and then force you to wait in your car until they call you—never mind that the space itself feels like a chaotic fire hazard with that ridiculous hole in the wall.
The real issue? They gave away our table TWO MINUTES after calling to let us know it was ready. TWO MINUTES. No one ever mentioned that if you miss their call—even briefly—they immediately give away your spot. We missed a call at 12:01, walked in at 12:03, and found another couple already seated in the exact spot we could have taken when we first arrived. The worst part? That couple hadn’t even signed in when we did. So essentially, they gave our table away to walk-ins instead of honoring the system they claim to have in place.
There was a young server who clearly understood how messed up this was, but then an older lady—who might have been an owner—came in and blamed us for missing the call. Not to mention, she had literally just finished leaving the voicemail 20 seconds before we walked in. No remorse, no accountability, and absolutely no effort to make things right. Their only “solution” was offering us the same two cramped bar seats we had already declined when we arrived.
Luckily, the universe had better plans for us. Just down the street at Café Aura, we were met with a clean and welcoming environment, the world’s best pancakes, great drinks, fantastic service, and to top it off—the UConn game was on. Shoutout to The Angry Egg (or Angry Old Lady) for denying us at the door and showing us that the grass is definitely greener at Café Aura.
The lack of communication, the impersonal and disorganized system, and the complete disregard for customer experience make The Angry Egg not worth the hassle. If you’re looking for a frustrating and unwelcoming dining experience, this is the place for you. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and go where customers actually matter—Café Aura.

I was so hungry 🤤 was excited to eat here, but sadly I was disappointed the service was horrible I mean I have something in my orange juice, had to send that back them I ordered a California omelette it was so good but I asked for bacon on the side it never came I also asked for toast an that never came either I ask the waiter about it and he gave me a excuse that the kitchen it busy and having a fit I mean how unprofessional is that I was so upset lost my appetite and didn’t finish my meal, I also will never be returning, wow never in my life!!!

This establishment is such a cozy , historic set, and lovely restaurant. My daughter and I recently went after an MD visit. The staff are so kind, thoughtful, welcoming and friendly! The food menu is extensive and we both had excellent meals!
They stopped to converse and listened to me rambling on🤣
I highly recommend this restaurant!

Recently went for breakfast. It's a diner-type atmosphere. The staff is super friendly. The food was served quickly, especially during a very busy time. Overall, the food was good. My toast was dry & a bit hard but the experience was still enjoyable.

Worst food ever. We had to sign our name and sit outside you're not allowed to stay in the building. What else is that you cannot bring a drink in, my husband orders orange juice and they're out!! I ordered a cup of coffee that tasted like cardboard. Took three sips waitress never even asked if everything was okay or what was wrong with the coffee. Eggs are cooked inappropriately. The rye toast was completely bendable as if in just bread and not toasted. And had a very funky taste to it. The hash browns would have been good if there was any seasoning at all added. And I ordered my eggs over medium with a yolk and they were completely runny with white runny goop everywhere. And nobody came back to our table to ask us if everything was satisfactory even one time. Absolutely will not return to this restaurant. My husband and I try different restaurant every weekend. This one is close to home but we will absolutely not be returning

This is our favorite spot for breakfast - excellent food including some of the best bacon I’ve ever had! Everyone working there creates a welcoming experience, and the service is both cheerful and timely even when the place is packed. Can’t recommend this cute little diner in downtown Manchester enough!

This is a great, hole in the wall breakfast/lunch spot. Found it while passing through the area on the way to boston. It is a bit out of the way but definitely worth the little bit of a detour Nice menu with a number of unusual items. I had the nore'easter omelet and my wife had the teramasu French toast. Both were great. Service is great. It is small and we had to wait a few minutes to be seated. Highly recommended.
