The meals are well-prepared, tasty, served hot and fairly quickly. We have never felt rushed and always left quite satisfied.

I’ll definitely be returning for the biscuits and gravy, but today I tried the corned beef hash and eggs. It's great to find a place that makes their hash from scratch rather than using canned ingredients.

The diner had a cozy, small-town vibe, and many locals were coming in and out. I evaluate every breakfast place based on three criteria: coffee (7.3), home fries (6.1), and pancakes (6.0). The coffee was fresh and met my expectations. The home fries were grilled and seasoned but needed more cooking time. The pancake, however, was cooked unevenly—dark on one side and barely done on the other, which made it a bit rubbery. Overall, we were pleased with our meal and will definitely stop by again before our next flight out of BDL.

When a sandwich is this messy, you know it has to be great. Next, I had the burger, which was massive and incredibly delicious. Finally, I ordered the egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich, and once again, it was huge! Kudos to the staff for a job well done. I will definitely be returning again and again. Thank you!

What I was served was an egg omelet over hash. With toast on the side and very undercooked homefries that had no flavor. Will not be going back, when there are so many better options in the area for breakfast.
