To be completely honestly, lets start with the service, well it really wasnt that great. The food was absolutely horrible to say the least. I ordered the baked salmon. After we ate and went home with my girlfriend, I had to use the bathroom. As I was in the bathroom, I threw up in the bathtub and had really bad diarrhea. This place was recommended by my girlfriend who even admitted that the service was not good the first time she went with her co-workers. Well lets say I am never going back there ever again. Worse experience in my life and I typically wouldnt even bother writing a review unless it is just downright atrocious.

Been there twice. Not going to allow a third strike. First time I ordered an omelette with churiso in it. It came to me with no meat at all. I also asked for either a pitcher or a larger glass because I was thirsty and wanted more than a 8 oz baby glass of water to be refilled every 5 minutes. The server said, "we dont do that." Do what? Have guests refreshed? Second time they dragged their behinds and the place was empty. Server putzed around like there was a weight attached to her ankle. Touch pricey for a mediocre diner too.

Just across the street from TA Truck Stop. Staff is professional and friendly. Menu is World Class. Roast Beef entree with sides and Clam Chowder were all perfect. Captains Seafood Platter - Jumbo Shrimp, Scallops, Clams, Fried Fish, Fries and Coleslaw were all Perfect. Restaurant is exceptionally clean and bright with a roomy feel. All seven drivers hauling Garth Brooks World Tour Staging will be back again. Salute!

The diner is very clean n organized. Staff is attentive. Food is of ordinary diner food. I ordered fried seafood. I knew, at a diner, that I was ordering frozen seafood. The price point was good, $16.99. Clam strips were good. Shrimp and scallops were over cooked and tough. French fries were fabulous!!! My friend ordered eggs over easy, home fries, bacon and toast. All was good, but cold. Overall a 3

Great diner fries!! Crispy! As a first time visitor I was impressed. Quiet meal before the dinner rush! This building used to be a Friendlys and they did a lot with the place! Prices on some items are maybe a dollar more than the Parthenon 3/4 of a mile down route 1 by exit 55 and the selection is smaller but that extra dollar buys you a squeaky clean establishment, a smile and fresh food!

Was very expensive! Got a Italian panini had like no meat on it more bread was not worth it was more like toast not a panini and extra for fries that you bite into and get grease shot out of it. Ordered to pick up did not have there stuff together took about 10 minutes to find our food. (Which was sitting on the counter). Was very slow And we did not receive a receipt.

Got the chicken Alfredo noodles were hard.. chicken was dry and tasted bland.. but it looked good. Server was kinda rude .. they need more drink options.. got a large portion of food for the price but the taste was horrible.. only good thing I had was the cheese cake.. salad was soggy not very fresh.. wont be coming here again..

Horrible experience!!! Waited over 30 minutes for drinks...had to ask the bus boy (who was the only helpful person). Then waited about 60 minutes for food not all of it...had to go back to the kitchen to get the rest. Waitress never came back to table. Comped our whole meal will never go back there! Not worth it!!!

Wait staff was really friendly and the eggs benedict was great! One of the omelettes at the table was dry and the eggs were brown, in addition to just okay coffee. Other than that the chorizo had great flavor and was well prepared! Nice and clean atmosphere.

I had a gyro for lunch Nov 10 ,2015 and nothing else on this afternoon and suffered very bad stomach problems. No idea if they used old frozen gyro to defrost or bad ground beef but I had very bad stomach issues. I would not stop here again .

Came here for lunch and had the pastrami special my son had the cornbeef sandwich both were really good. I had a side of veges, good only issue was the French fries could have been cooked longer. Next time I will ask for them to be well done.

Living on the road we eat lots of crappy diner food. This place is not diner food, its fresh and delicious, I will definitely be back. Nice people as well, my only gripe is I was so stuffed I had to get desert to go lol

The food eas good, service was fast and it was clean. Typical diner with typical diner food. If you want fine dining, dont go to a diner. Id recommend it as a place to get sit down food fast and relatively cheap.

Staff is extremely friendly and efficient. The managers are personable and to top it off the food is amazing! Cant go wrong with their Italian entrees because they have the same owners are La Luna Ristorante!

Had breakfast for dinner because we were in the mood for light eating. The food is very good. The home fries are excellent. Pricing is reasonable. Free refills on soda and coffee.

I stop in here every time I pass through Branford. The food is excellent, the staff is always smiling, prices are reasonable, and now they have WiFi. There is nothing not to like!

This former Friendlys has been done over with nice blue accented decor. Typical diner fare but nicely prepared. I had a perfect serving of cheddar cheese omlet and home fries.

Good breakfast place. The food has been good every time weve visited. Would be 5 stars, but the service can need spotty. Always nice and friendly, but not consistent.

Clean, and good food at a reasonable price. Also walking distance from the truck stop. I was disappointed when Friendlys closed, but this is a really good replacement.
