We were in town to visit family but stopped in here because Neil’s donuts was closed. The wait was a little long but the staff was friendly and quick. We both got the biscuits and gravy specials and the stuffed french toast with walnuts. The food was amazing we cleared our plates some of the best breakfast we’ve had in a long time!

This is a simple hole in the wall kind of place. Nothing fancy, but everything seemed clean. The seats were comfortable. It wasn’t chic or cool or anything, but for what it was, the atmosphere was perfect. No frills decor but that’s fine.
Being our first time at this place, my husband asked the waitress what was good at the restaurant. She suggested the homemade corned beef hash so we both ended up getting it. It was so good!! Omg!!! I also opted for grits instead of home fries because you don’t often see grits on menus in ct. They must have been made with milk (or maybe cream). I’ve only made them with water. They were unlike any grits I’ve ever had – so rich. It was delicious but it was a lot. (I’ll order more wisely next time.)
Speaking of ordering, I knocked off a star on service because the menu listed a side of home fries as $4 and a cup of grits as $4 so I asked if I could substitute the home fries that came with my meal for the grits. The server said of course, but then I was surprised to see that I was charged $3 extra for the grits. She should have mentioned that it wasn’t an even substitution when I ordered, especially since the sides were priced the same so it seemed like it should be an even swap.
Everything else (toast and eggs), while not complicated, was prepared perfectly. They had rye bread, which I asked for, and it was toasted and buttered perfectly. The eggs over easy were prepared just right. It’s easy to take these things for granted, but so many places screw it up – your toast will only get a blob of butter in one spot, your eggs will be overdone, etc. But not here.
They also had a couple specials that sounded very tempting too – an omelette with homemade meatloaf (I’ve never heard of such a thing, but it sounds amazing!) and French toast made with banana bread.
It’s been several hours since we ate there and I still I can’t stop thinking about that corned beef hash. Even though we usually go to New Haven for brunch, I need to figure out how to work a breakfast in Wallingford into my rotation now and then. It’s a good thing I don’t live in Wallingford. I’d probably be eating there every day!

I live close by and decided I would try it. I normally go to Scotty’s or Center Street for breakfast. I ordered the same breakfast I order anywhere, 3 eggs Sunnyside, home fries and wheat toast. The portions were extremely small as far as home fries, the toast was soggy and overall not very tasty. What really set me aback was the cost. It was $14.69 which first of all was about $4 higher for a lot less food. I understand higher prices BUT eggs are now back to normal prices and I’m sorry the food was just not very good and it takes some effort or lack of caring to have a basic breakfast taste so blah especially when combined with much higher prices and MUCH LESS home fries, they added nothing added to home fries either. I wish them the very best, I hope that they can turn their business into a profitable one but since I was the ONLY customer there at 11:15 am, on a Wednesday morning, I’d say that they have some work ahead of them. This is an honest review. I had truly hoped that they were better or at minimum equal to the other two places I mentioned because they are much closer to home. Unfortunately and with regret, they weren’t even close, from either a taste, portions or financial perspective, just a sad, but true fact!

I havent been here i a while but i used to think it was great. Maybe 2 years ago or so. So its been a while. It must have changed hands. They used to have huge plates of really good food that you could bring home it appears things have changed. Prices are high everywhere so one would expect fresh food and good portions. Not anymore.They still have signs upon entry that they are still charging 1 dollar extra for every egg. why? Nobody else is doing it. The roll for my egg sandwich was falling apart because it was not fresh. I mean toast it a little bit to hide the unfreshness. The bacon was not really crispy and the fried eggs were small. Some of the food must have been prepared earlier in the day. The potatoes were hard and also not fresh. All together i paid over 30 dollars with tip for a short stack of french toast and a fried egg sandwich with homefries and coffee. Unfortunately i wont be returning. Bummer because i used to love this place. Service was good and the place is nice to sit and eat however the food wasnt up to my standards for the price paid.

I am happy to share this hideaway diner located in Wallingford CT.
I recently took a trip to visit family and friends and was hoping for a place that was capable of handling my morning appetite but with a fair price, and this place did not disappoint.
My partner and I order the same meal (God knows I need more grits in my life and so he provided that too!) The Western omelets were amazing, beautiful in presentation (as far as.l omelets go) and not greasey or soggy. Downside is the potatoes were limited it seems and it took what I feel to be a little long for our food but, I understand breakfast diners are busy on Sundays.
From personal experience as a cook and server at diners etc I find that this place has the best food in the Wallingford area when it comes to breakfast! Can’t wait to.visit again.

On a suggestion from a friend, my son and I decided to try a different restaurant for breakfast, rather than the usual place across town.
Connie’s Kitchen is a bit smaller than my usual breakfast joint, but there was plenty of seating available when we arrived.
The gal who was serving us was bright & cheerful on this cold morning after Thanksgiving.
Upon being seated she asked if we wanted coffee and/or juice for starters.
Coffee was a definite! It was really good coffee. We both requested grapefruit juice and she said they don’t carry it. I had a glass of orange juice instead. A half star off for no grapefruit juice.
The menu is not a stretch. It offers nothing out of the ordinary, covering basic breakfast items.
Not a bad thing, but it does not make a standout dining experience.
I opted for a ham, cheddar, mushroom omelette that was very well prepared, light and fluffy, with plenty of the filling items. Instead of potatoes, I chose the fresh fruit cup. A nice alternative that they offer!
The wheat toast was……well……wheat toast. Nothing special.
My son had two eggs, over easy, with home fries and breakfast sausages that were pretty much what you’d expect. The choice was links or patty. No optional Vermont sausage was available like my usual breakfast restaurant offers. Another half star knocked off.
Overall, it was an average diner, serving an average breakfast.
Nothing bad, except for the lack of the two noted items.
Service was very good.
Despite the fact that this place is a tad closer, and easier to get to for me, I think I’ll remain a customer of my usual little restaurant for breakfast.

We have been going to Connie’s for just over a month now. It’s our new favorite breakfast spot! The corned beef hash is out of this world, and their waffles are way too good. Everything else is equally as delicious and fairly priced. The waitstaff is incredibly friendly and quick!

Following a visit to “The Muddy Puppy” with our pet, we enjoyed a delightful breakfast at Connie’s Kitchen. The service was prompt and the staff were courteous and accommodating. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The only minor inconvenience was some kitchen noise, which was quickly resolved after we mentioned it to our server.
