Good vibes. Huge menu. I went for breakfast items and they were solid. I would come back here. Booths and tables, the stainless steel accents, and lighting fixtures make this place truly feel like a diner.
Staff was very friendly and service was great.

I had the fish and grits and when I tell you.. it was the best grits that I had in a very long time. I thought my grandmother was in the kitchen. These ladies definitely have the soul and cooking skills of southern folks. My daughter had the shrimp with grits and son had chicken and waffles. Everything was cooked with love to perfection. We went there on my birthday back in December 2025 and outside the fact the place is a little dated and service was a little slow. It felt family oriented and I couldn’t have been very happy when the food came. It was worth the waited and every penny. The portion size was huge and decent parking space. I definitely cant wait to visit here again.

We were traveling from Connecticut back to Indiana on Thanksgiving morning, and our food options were limited due to most restaurants being closed for the holiday. We found this place, and it was really good! The food was great and the staff was good. The atmosphere was about what you’d expect from a diner. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to eat here again.

The grits are out of this world delicious . I come here often for the food , you get plenty of food, the customer service is very friendly. They have plenty of desserts, and parking and plenty of dinning space. The place is spotless and the bathrooms are clean and odor free. 5⭐️

I’m not sure how this diner is not better know! I love this diner so much! Every dish I’ve ever had here is beautifully prepared, tastes delicious and the ingredients are very fresh! The atmosphere is a classic diner with all the old school traditional touches you would expect. The staff are warm, inviting, attentive and it feels like a proudly run family establishment. There is plenty of parking and warm, comfy booths waiting. I can’t say enough good things!

I really wasn’t a fan. Perhaps I visited them on a bad day. My family all got breakfast dishes. And they really enjoyed it, but I got a corned beef reuben, that was probably the worst sandwich i’ve ever had. I ended up sending it back after one bite and not asking for anything else. The waitress was very polite and understood. She removed the meal completely from my check. So I want to make sure that I give these guys credit for being professional and fair. Like I said, I may have just caught him on the wrong day.

Very bad experience, we didn’t get a waiter for 20 minutes and another 40 minutes to get the food and it was empty, waitress was distracted and messed up our order by giving us things we didn’t order and also food was cold by the time we got it and I specifically got a soup and they dropped half of it by the time I got it. Would not recommend.

Ordered 4 eggs scrambled because of dental surgery. Recieved what could be generously assumed to be 2 eggs scrambled with double the French fries.
When I called to talk about it the manager said, “oh they might be small eggs.” Don’t spend money here it’s a rip off I will absolutely never order from this place again.

I stopped in this diner for a quick regular breakfast. Then I saw on the specials they had Fish and grits. Hmmm. Fish and grits in the middle of Connecticut at a diner? NAILED IT!! Quite unexpected! It’s not the best grits I’ve ever had in my life, but it was great! A large bowl of grits with white fish on top and two eggs over medium the way I like it! I recommend this!
The place is quaint. The service was great! Yum! A hidden gem !!

Passed through this spot while house touring in New Haven Connecticut. It’s a friendly little spot, that feels very homely. Staff were welcoming and friendly. The food was nothing to rave at, typical dinner eats, but they were very willing to make adjustments and substitution to meet our needs. While friendly, our server was somewhat unprofessional and could do with a bit of training on how to address guests. All said and done his place has potential and could be a prime spot with a bit of care.
