This diner is well deserving of each of these 5 stars without a doubt!! We stumbled upon it on a Sunday morning, traveling back from New Haven, CT, and we could not have found a more perfect place to fill our bellies with some excellent food. We will make this a regular stop on our travels. Fantastic work!!!

Me and my boyfriend came in for the first time and we ordered the shrimp scampi and a churasco , both plates were a really good portion and for such a good price, but sadly we couldn’t fit all of it lol, i loved how friendly staff was, so cute how its a family owned diner. I love the vibe and aesthetic of it, definitely a good spot for a first date!!!

I am honestly impressed overall the food was really good. I loved the service, nice quiet place to just chill and relax after a long day running errands. 10/10 will definitely be stopping by again.

I took my wife out to lunch and a short hike at White Memorial Preserve in Litchfield. I Googled Mapped “lunch nearby” and TFD popped up with great reviews and pics of the food. I’m glad I listened because my wife’s BLT was great according to her (and she’s picky folks) and my Western Omelette with added spinach was excellent. My plate was so full of food I couldn’t finish it and I’m a 6’ 205Ib guy. Service was great as well. We’ll be going back for dinner as well as it looked great on the menu. Five Stars.

Took my family here for dinner tonight and had to rush back to the house to write this review! I couldn’t believe what we had found! This is a hidden gem! A true authentic culinary experience. I don’t want to tell you guys everything, but please buckle up for what is potentially one of the most delicious dinners we have had to date. Go try it and leave your feedback. The pictures say it all

I’ve been eating at this fine establishment for two years and never had a bad meal and or experience. This family owned diner never fails to surprise me with excellence. They conduct themselves with the highest level of professionalism. The food is good and the people are good. I love how they make it feel like home Every time I walk through those doors and sit down and eat.
