Such a cute little find! Service and food were excellent!!

Friendly staff, quick service, priced right, great breakfast menu selections! Food was delicious!

We went here on the way home from Foxwoods. It's a very cute place, but small, so they don't have a lot of seating for bigger parties (we had 6). The manager(?) was super nice and very helpful in figuring out a way to seat us together or near each other. Our breakfast was very tasty. I'd recommend!

The place looks worn out. Yet it was mobbed. Average food but our 33 year veteran waitress Michelle made the experience memorable and we will go back to see her again. Nothing better than a seasoned waitress❣️

Don't expect to be blown away. It's perfectly fine. And servers are very friendly and attentive.

Many memories of getting breakfast here as a child and collecting the state magnets on their wall! Our most recent visit was satisfactory. I would still recommend Olde Tymes for newcomers.

Got in line and the hostess took someone else who walked in after me. I think because she recognized him or he knew the right spot to stand in. He was elderly and she was very nice to him. But news flash - I'm a senior citizen working two jobs and no one to cook for me at home either. I had been standing there by myself a few minutes without anyone asking "are you eating in or picking up". Maybe I was standing in the wrong spot but I rarely go there. I think they need to watch for new customers. The entry isn't well lit so maybe they didn't see me. I would rather have it a little dim than too bright though. Quick service but the waitress seemed abrupt - asked me if I knew what I wanted. I didn't realize the placemat was the menu until I heard her say it to another customer - I didn't pay any attention to the placemat but I wish I had. I heard the people next to me ask her what she liked there and she did mention a couple things I would have tried instead of the same old basic breakfast - my fault. Parts of the ceiling in the dining room were peeling off. Seating was way closer than 6 feet and a lady on one side of me was coughing and someone on the other side was constantly sniffing. I felt like telling them to blow their nose! The "crispy home fries with onions" were like fried mashed potatoes - couldn't detect an onion or an actual piece of potato - I doubt they were peeled today. Eggs over easy- good - kinda hard to mess that up. Sausage - I've had better but I was thankful. Waitress changed midway through meal and neither one asked "how is everything". The outer bathroom door didn't close but there are stalls. The inside of the toilet had more than a little feces smeared on the bowl. Outside the restroom & the entry way are one in the same and was getting busy by then and so it was like a maze getting out around the people coming in. I didn't see any staff - wait or cook - with a mask on.

The place is definitely an older place that caters to residents of the area. The service was wonderful and the vibe was old school Connecticut.Cons were this place seems run down and dirty. Definitely don't clean all the knick knacks more then once a quarter if that.I got the lobster omelet which didn't have much lobster in it and the cheese was sliced American, tasted like kraft singles.The other half ordered the sausage gravy omelet and even she was kind of bleh.The service was great, staff was super friendly. I would change the presentation or recipe of the lobster dish because the lobster was barely noticeable.The bagel was a bagel, surprised they charged extra for cream cheese. The apples as a side were not good, my wife didn't eat more then a bite.

I have been ruined from here on out for breakfast. Hands down this french toast will change your life!

Great prices, great food, great drinks, great staff. Love them here! Only downside is especially recently they seem to be understaffed and losing a lot of people.
