Extremely pleasant staff and very good breakfast meals. I frequently come here with 2 of my old friends for breakfast and conversation. The meals are well-prepared, tasty, served hot and fairly quickly. We have never felt rushed and always left quite satisfied.

This restaurant has a cozy hometown diner vibe with friendly service. 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.

Was very disappointed with the food. I asked the waitress if they could make me a cornbread hash benedict which was not on the menu. 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. View menu

As a newcomer to this restaurant, I must say it’s absolutely fantastic! I tried the Reuben sandwich, and it was amazing. 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!

A little concerned about the Windsor Locks location and whether it’s friendly to all people. Military friends of mine of Latin decent went in recently for breakfast and waited to be served for quite a bit of time. The people that came in after them were immediately sat down and given their drink orders. While my friends have yet to be spoken to. Eye contacts were made with several staff to try and get their attention. but no service. My friends then took the hint and left.

Food was pretty good. Bacon egg and cheese was giant and delicious. Home fries were weird and seemed under cooked. Service was slow, with only two tables in the whole resturant and two servers, seemed weird to get bad service. I'm a server so I understand things happen but if there was two of us at 11am on a weekday with only two other tables I would give great service. The kitchen manager (so he seemed) noticed customers had to come up to the counter to get things or order more. Wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend other then to order ahead and pick up.

The worst experience ever!! I was so ready to try this place despite the negative reviews that were made. I needed to find out for myself. My husband and I got there at 10:45, 45 minutes later our order was never taken along with another couple who just got there after us. The staff just wiped other tables down, waited on one table on the left side, stood at the desk doing absolutely NOTHING! It wasn't packed. They had 3 cooks on site . Again it wasn't packed! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AT THIS PLACE BECAUSE THEY WILL WASTE YOUR TIME DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. BBB ijs.

Pancakes were tasty and on the large side. Not listed on the menu, but my server asked if I wanted 1, 2, or 3 pancakes, with a specific price for each. The menu just listed stacks of 3. The server was pretty friendly with the other patrons, too. I waited a little longer to order than I would have thought by looking at the density of diners in the restaurant, but it is what it is. Kid-friendliness: Another patron brought in a little child. The server was very friendly and offered to draw a picture on his pancake with whipped cream. Kid seemed happy. Sweet to watch.

I stopped for breakfast before my flight and had a great experience. The service was excellent and the food came out quickly. 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. View menu
