They have a deliciously cake-like texture and are less eggy than others. However, I did find the home fries to be a bit overly seasoned for my taste. It's important to remember that the waitstaff has special needs and may not pick up on cues like typical waitstaff. For instance, I had to go in and request a to-go box and the check, and there was a mix-up with another customer's order. Despite this, the understanding of the patrons contributed to a wonderfully friendly atmosphere, and I even had the chance to chat with others while waiting for my meal. If the weather is nice, I highly recommend sitting on the deck—it offers a lovely view of the water and passing boats, and if you're lucky, you might even spot a submarine! I will definitely be returning to this place.

It?s mostly staffed by people who are challenged I hope you get my drift I can?t think of the proper word. The wait person was good but a little ?rigid?, IOW he didn?t know ?Healthy Options? (versus hash browns) but he was fast and efficient. My omelette was good. There were three tables outside on the deck, on the Thames River in Groton. Most of all,!I liked helping people who needed it AND supporting their institution. GO!!!!
