“Good coffee, good food, good prices.”

Friendly staff and modern design inside. Menu is full diner with endless choices. Went for chicken parm sandwich with jalapeños and grilled onions. Heaven on a bun, though the bread was outmatched by the generous parm. Great crisp on the fries. Convenient off I-91.

I really wanted to like the food because the atmosphere and Jessica, the server, was fantastic. I ordered the fisherman's platter with sweet potato fries and pickled beets. Scallops were overcooked. I don't know if it was the batter but the fish seemed tough but the batter, soft. Shrimp was good but cocktail sauce tasted 'off' but maybe it was homemade and I'm used to a jar. Jessica was extremely nice and fast. Side salad was good.

My mom and I stopped in for breakfast around 11 on a Saturday morning. They were busy but were able to seat us, and we couldn’t believe we were in and out in 45 minutes - it was great! Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and I also have to say this is one of the cleanest diners we’ve ever been to. Even the windows were sparkling! The strawberry shortcake pancakes were great, and usually I have difficulty finishing a stack of 3, but these were nice and light. My mom liked her eggs benny and hash browns, and the bacon was crispy and had a nice smoky flavor. A solid choice for breakfast on W

Actually this stop in was a friend of mine on his return to Middletown from Yale with his wife's first infusion for dementia. My suggestion to stop in for lunch was very relaxing and comfortable for them. I was pleased to hear about their first five star experience at your restaurant. Thank you for your hospitality shone to them as I'm sure they will return with six additional infusions remsining.
