The food that I had was nothing to write home about I felt like all of the seafood was overcooked and somewhat dry. It wasn't horrible but I wouldn't trade it highly. They have a very large menu and lots of items to pick from.We're so sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at this location.

If your looking for a cheap breakfast, avoid this place; but if youâre looking for huge portions, great variety and solid food, this is your place. We were surprised most of the menu was in the $10-$15 range, pricey for breakfast in my book, but we settled for a couple of the cheaper options as we werenât looking for more than a light breakfast. My wife had two eggs and bacon and it sure looked like four eggs to me. My eggs and bacon sandwich was loaded with bacon and served on a large, fresh and delicious roll. For this, and two cups of coffee we paid over $20, but the quality of service, cleanliness, great service and large portions make this a place Iâd consider next time weâre in town.

I met my daughter and granddaughter for breakfast in my hometown and honestly will say Wallingford still has some of the best little hidden secrets to eat at. The staff is extremely friendly they treat everyone like family it's an establishment that has been in town for years. Always packed especially on the weekend. But we had a mid week visit had the best omelette chicken sausage roasted red pepper onion chedder and Dad's toast home fries excellent.. I had enough for another meal.. we had a huge bowl of fruit . The French toast with strawberries and bananas amay fresh very good.. Plenty of coffee water. Enjoy the daily special and the homey atmosphere. Chris Cross..

What a fun experience. Small dining area and somewhat cramped but the experience is worth it. Prices are excellent and the food is grest and plentyful. Hamburgers are 9oz but seem bigger. The rolls are super and whoever praised the rolls? The french fries are big,crisp,hot and abundant. The chicken on waffles was a favorite for my daughter and my grand daughter was wowed by the Hawian burger from the specialty menu. The chicken wings were big and meaty and the various sauces are amazing. It's very popular and you may have to wait for seating but it is worth the wait. The wait staff is very good. You do have to wait for your meal if you get burgers because of the size it takes time,butagain it's well worth the wait. Enjoy.

Recently had dinner here on a Saturday evening. The restaurant is a cozy spot close to the old train station. We ordered different items on the menu but came away feeling that the dishes were overly spicy. The chicken and the short rib dishes had too much pepper for our palates. We truly enjoyed the brussell sprout appetizer...it was absolutely perfect! It was very noisy and dimly lighted.We're very sorry to hear that we didn't exceed your expectations when you visited us. Your feedback is important as we work hard to ensure our customers have an outstanding experience every time they visit us. We're very glad you enjoyed our brussels sprouts (a crowd favorite!) - - give us another try and we'll suggest some other tasty alternatives. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback and we hope to see you back again when you are in the area.

Good food, good atmosphere, nice location for an ideal walk after dinner, highly recommended. If just stopping by for a quick meal and good conversation with bar seating or coming in for a nice casual (not stuffy) dinner with friends, this is where you want to go. Have eaten here three times within the last year; and each time I left feeling good.

The roast beef is the best in the area. Vinny is the King of Roast Beef.The gator in season is to die for. Just wish the season was longer.I look for the $6.19 coupon in The Post which is good from Thursday through Tuesday. The grinder is large enough for two lunches, making this a superb value.DGThank you for taking the time to review us. Vinny

Lunch in the library was great! The old building is beautiful and the library touches like: the beer tap handles were covered in old book jackets and the bill comes inside a hollowed out book, were perfect! For lunch we had a thinly sliced steak sandwich and a BLT, both came with delicious side salads! Will try it again for Happy Hour and or dinner!

Son and I stopped in to try breakfastOrdered an egg white omelette and eggs were watery. Breakfast potatoes and bagel were good. Son got ham, egg and cheese on Texas toast - was good - side of hash browns was flat and cooked crispy - glad we had ketchup. It was hot in the restaurant- so we got out quickly. Pretty average place but good to fill a hungry person.

Order at the counter from the menu or from the really long list of specials on the board. Grab a seat after ordering and your meal will be brought to you. Everything we've tried here is fresh and perfectly cooked. I especially like the soups. The pizzas have a nice thin crust.
