It was my first time and OMG the amount of food services is for 2 people. The food was delicious and the waitress is got was really friendly. I had what they call The Mess.

Visiting from Central NY, about 4.5 hours away, and this little gem came highly recommended. My mother lives locally but doesn't drive, so this was a nice little day out for both of us. The place was hopping, but we were seated after only a few minutes, and our drink order was taken immediately. While we were there a little league team and their family/cheer section came in, which tells me that the place has great community vibes - love that! Service was excellent - shout-out to Alex, who was delightful and attentive, enough that my mom chased him down after the meal to thank him. Mom ordered the fish and I had the clam strips; both meals were great with generous portions. Highly recommend!

It's nothing fancy and a typical hole in the wall diner. The service is really good and friendly. The food is piled high, served quickly, and very hot. Great to share or take some home for the next 2 meals. Tasted great. Pretty noisy in there. But, I'd still go again just for the food.

Great food! The food came real fast, only took about 20 minutes for a full breakfast for two people. I asked to add steak to my omelette, even thought it was not a menu opinion, and banana inside of my pancake. They accommodated my choices real nicely and brought me one of the best omelette i’ve had in a while!

★★★★★ 5.0 David Dennison · Oct 2025

Best breakfast place in New London! Has a great small diner feel and you feel like you're with family. The food is amazing and they come in big portions! They have tables and a seated bar around the middle. Parking is hard to find sometimes and also comes with a wait usually since they are busy. But definitely worth it!
