“ Wonderful place! Great food, decent prices, locals and regulars hanging out with a friendly, efficient staff. Grits like an old Southern grandma would make, thick and chewy; these were real grits, not instant. Crinkle cut sweet potato fries were perfection on a plate. Omelet did not disappoint. Nom. Highly recommended, vast menu, bring the family something for everyone. ”
“ Best breakfasts which they serve at lunch, too. I usually get their 2x2x2 - two scrambled eggs, two pieces of bacon & two pancakes. My friend today got eggs benedict & loved them. I had pancakes & we got a side of bacon to share. I've turned friends onto this place & they agree: great food. Leo is the owner/cook; Jessica is our server. I'd say it's a Hidden Gem but I think most of the people I know go there, so it's not that hidden! ”
“ It’s a basic diner type spot. I only had eggs and toast and it was good. The place is always quiet when I’ve been which I prefer over a busy diner. And the service is fast. ”
“ Our family of 6 was visiting from Vermont and had a late breakfast/early lunch at Country Kitchen! Food is pretty standard diner stuff with very fair prices and portions. What we enjoyed most of all was interacting with our server, Chelsea. She made our meal a lot of fun and she was especially sweet with our kids! If you’re looking for a good meal with friendly service, this is your spot. ”
“ Great little place with a great breakfast and friendly staff. ”
“ Looking at it from outside, you wouldn’t think it’d be anything special but you would be wrong. Inside is a friendly, down home atmosphere with prompt seating & service. It made me think that it wouldn’t take long to be considered a regular customer. The waiter was very nice & attentive to our needs. I had a huge pastrami omelette that was out of this world. I’d recommend checking it out. ”
“ Very nice atmosphere! The food was very good! A friendly homey place, we were looking for a nice breakfast on our way to Tweed New Haven Airport. We were not disappointed! ”
“ Casual friendly environment. Lots of great menu options. Would definitely go back when in the area ”
