Amazing food and amazing service. The best breakfast experience I've had in a while. Stood on a line for it and was not disappointed. Owner came out and gave my wife and the other women tea and biscuits while we waited and anyone who wanted a coffee got it as well. The wait was not more than 15 minutes.

For the old-time Portlanders, this is the place for breakfast. Newbies might be looking for Flo, it has that feel. Honest breakfast/lunch diner menu, diner tables and diner counter. Reasonable prices. The homemade hash is pretty good, but make sure it's the home made or you'll get canned.Gluten-free menu, someone on the staff must be gluten-free.

Had a spanakopita and salad, really nicely done, especially the deceptively small-looking Greek salad. Just the right amount of everything in it. Very clean chromey diner style place in a strip mall parking lot, which I often find hides a town's best food spots.

Got off the highway looking for a place to eat breakfast and we really lucked out with the Cromwell Diner! Service was excellent and the prices really inexpensive for very good food!! How about 2 eggs over easy with an English muffin for $4! Our food was fresh and tasty and served quickly as well! Place is right off I-91 almost midway between New Haven and Hartford...worth a stop- and they also have clean rest rooms!!
