The owner, Kay, took our orders & I made chit chat with her. What an amazing woman! THE RESTAURANT: While it is pretty small in here (think if you sneeze walking by, you'll miss it!) the place is very laid back & warm feeling. I finally made it here. The owner, Kay, said after Covid, she cut back the diner's hours, things were slow to come back. THE FOOD: My husband got the #1-scrambled, with a pancake, coffee is included & here ordered an orange juice. I ordered the #2- over medium with sausage & rye toast, coffee is included. The food was delicious! As we sat at the counter, talking to Kay, I noticed that the seats were comfortable & not lumpy & bumpy like most counter seats. The coffee was Omar coffee but also good. Kay told us they make the pancakes from scratch daily. I watched her make the home fries, also from scratch. This place is definitely a must visit if you want to try a throw back from the days when you walked in and people were nice & kind & genuinely just wanted to be friendly. Prices are decent, too.

Perfect Vegan Date Night…read more ION is an amazing restaurant. All vegan foods that are unique and delicious! I love going here with my husband for date nights! I also appreciate that they have yummy mocktails as well as cocktails. The staff is always friendly and kind. The only critique I would have is that when the sun is setting it blinds you in the restaurant, maybe they will install blinds in the future, but my suggestion is to go for lunch or after sundown to avoid this problem. But overall, great atmosphere and awesome vegan food! Pros: Delicious food!, Great atmosphere! Yummy mocktails! Cons: The piercing sunlight that blinds you at sundown

I like to think of it as serendipity because we only stopped as we passed by [late] one morning for a quick breakfast, to a packed house with the most wonderful aromas drifting outside as we got out of the car and headed to the door! I ordered Deb's Shepperd Pie which I hadn't had since my Mom used to make it specially for me. (t'was the best ever!) and my better half (wife) ordered a short stack of pancakes. OMG ! ! ! Were we ever amazed at the down home, pleasing attentive service and the unbelievably huge portions on the large platters we were served. I could hardly eat all of the delicious "pie" and my wife's short stack was 2, 12" [at least] fluffy pancakes that totally filled the platter. She could only eat one of them and carried the 2nd one out for a snack later in the day. We felt honored to be served by "Deb", herself and have returned to our now most favored breakfast & lunch establishment ever found here in lovely Connecticut. We've now settled in Ivoryton, about 20-25 minutes from home and frequent Deb's as our "go to" breakfast spot as often as we can. The prices were reasonable and even at twice the price we wouldn't go anywhere else for good company,and great breakfast fare. Lunch menu is really good too! We will enjoy Deb's as long as we live and we're sure you will too!!!
