    pancakes, eggs, bacon, home fries
    Lauren R.

    I've been here a couple times before and would have to say the food is okay, but not great. The eggs were under flavored and not at all fluffy. The pancakes were nothing special - I felt like they could've been made from box mix and the syrup was not helping matters. The home fries had an overcooked crust and too much soft inside. I did like the bacon though, even though that's really not hard to mess up. There was nothing really bad here, but everything was just extremely average. I feel like if you're going to spend money on breakfast you'd probably want to go elsewhere.

    I drove out of my way to come here because it was supposed to be open until 9 o'clock. It's 730pm and they are not open

    It's been a long time since I've walked into this diner. That being said, this did used to be a…read morehaunt my mom and I would go to sometimes for breakfast. I went alone today because I needed to pick a place for breakfast and get some sustenance in my body because I know I'm gonna need it. I'm working a side quest later today and I had time before my train came. There's not much to this diner, but it does kind of have an old-timey feel to it which is not at all a bad thing in this case. The lighting gives off a vibe that this place might have been more posh in a time long ago. But I think what really factors into my rating today is the customer service because all the employees I came across today here were super chill and nice. One of them took the time to notice I was wearing a fundraiser shirt and we talked a little bit about Tom Petty which was nice. One bit that might make you readers chuckle is that my waitress asked out of the blue if I vlog. I said no and she remarked I looked like I would be good at it. I smiled at that because little did they know I write reviews here on Yelp and I was not about to let them know that. On top of all that, service was very quick. In fact, it was quick enough to make me think twice about paying another visit to Spirit Cafe in the future. I was greeted immediately (I decided on a bar seat since I was by myself), they got my food out real quick, I got my coffee almost right after I ordered, and they even took care to bring out the syrup in advance with my coffee. Also, prices are very reasonable. For what I had today, my price was $12.29, which for 2026 is pretty good when you consider that breakfast was a full stack of french toast with a side of bacon. There is a $10 credit card minimum, but since I had a food order this time around I didn't mind that as much this time around. As for the food, coffee was good. I was given the full stack, sliced in half with butter to spread around, and 3 strips of bacon. And before any weirdos decide to judge me, yes I do put syrup on my bacon. Might as well since I'm having something such as french toast. The bacon was crispy and seasoned well. Where I do have a slight criticism for was the french toast. I usually do not like to see the egg whenever I am served this breakfast, and I was able to see the egg used in this order. It was also a little on the soggy side, but not too bad. It was an overall satisfying breakfast that will help tie me over to lunch and/or dinner. Honestly, even though my rating here is a 4, it really should be a 4.5 and that is what I would actually give it if half-stars were a thing. The customer service was excellent enough that you can't really go wrong with either rating here. I will gladly return another chance I get.

    Yesterday was a very big day, and I have several reviews to catch up on. To start it off, let's…read moretake a trip to Mary's Diner for breakfast and see what this diner is all about. This was the only business I visited yesterday that was in the state of Connecticut. This is because this is where I wanted to have some breakfast before I caught the 8:45 am train to go to New York City, so I made my way here around 6 and got there maybe about half an hour after I started walking. There was a regular who got there less than a minute before I did. When I got there, we were actually the only two customers in the diner, so I decided to take my seat in the same stretch of the bar area as him, about three seats away. This is important to note because this gave me the chance to actually meet the owner, and I liked this because it gave me an introduction to what the owner's life is like, both in and out of the business. Later on in my visit we as well as that regular talked about New York City and Metro-North transportation policies which was pretty cool. And yes, Mary is quite friendly. Finally, regulars here get treated like family, so I can definitely see family becoming friends and friends becoming family in this diner. The interior of the place has a very elegant look to it. While Waterbury itself may be one of the least safe cities in this state to live in, you have to admit that Waterbury is not shy about having business that at least have the look of being on the fancier side of things. There's a patio that gives it outdoor seating as well as an atrium that overlooks that outdoor seating if you prefer to eat away from the dining area. The pictures on the way provide a window into not only Waterbury's past, but also some landmarks else in the world like the Eiffel Tower. My order was pretty simple. I did the Belgian Waffle with a side of bacon as well as two cups of coffee. I did also get to see what the other guy ordered (he didn't really need to say much about what they wanted because he'd been coming here a long time). If my taste buds were different then I could see myself ordering something to what he did because the presentation looked nice enough. This was some oatmeal with blueberries on top, a few hard-boiled eggs, and toasted English muffin. What can I say? You eat with your eyes first. Going back to my order, I put some syrup on my waffle and bacon. and ate away. It was a fluffy waffle, very easy to cut with a knife so that I can eat. It's an overall good, filling breakfast that would have no problem tying me over to when I get lunch once I got to Brooklyn. The coffee was good as well. The price wasn't bad either. I was charged about $18 for what I got which is about on par with other diners in this state I've been to not named Elm Street Diner. Honestly, rating this diner is a tricky because it could go either way between a 4 or a 5. I did round the last diner I had this conundrum with down to a 4, so this time I decided to do the opposite and round this up to the full 5. This is a very good diner that I think those passing by in Waterbury should definitely try out.

I may drive around looking for a parking spot but I've yet to have to wait for a table inside the establishment. This says a lot because their parking lot is big. The inside appears small but they have a patio with an enclosed or outdoor option. I came at brunch time 11 am on a Saturday. It was packed hut not overcrowded. This is a diner that is friendly for children. They have a kids breakfast and lunch menu. With many side items you can order. They have specials that they offer. I opted for the soup d'jour with a sandwich. The soup was the star of the day. It was manhattan clam chowder which o haven't had in quite some time. It was a nice reminiscent meal from my childhood- oh how I loved when my mom made me manhattan clam chowder. I finished every bit of my soup and could've ordered more to go. It was savory with a bit of spice. I did not add anything to it. The chunks of clam were not big and honestly they didn't stand out, but it was still an amazing soup just because it was unexpected. The sandwich was boring - roast beef with options of lettuce, mayo, and tomato ( and thread choices - white, rye, Italian). I hot roasted Italian bread. The toast was a bit browner than I'd have liked- not their fault everyone is different. To add onions would've been an up charge- I considered it but I was heading to a basketball game I didn't want to pay extra for stinky breath. They did allow me to have horseradish instead of mayo. And I had coffee that my waitress made sure was full at all times. My boys loved their food. One had the chocolate chip pancakes from the kids meal with sausage. The other had the Caesar salad wrap from the regular menu. The portion sizes were huge. Our bill was less than $50 which is saying a lot for all that we had to eat. And everyone ordered what they wanted without being limited by the time of the day. I love this diner and will head back often. It is a comfy family spot, where you feel at home: They can accommodate large groups also.
