[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great local spot that's grown in size (so it can fit your groups).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's amazing hospitality and quality of food for the prices. You'll always leave with leftovers (can't beat that value). I've only been once but it likely deserves 5 stars for repeat customers. read more

This is a local gem with super affordable meal including pancakes the size of your plate. The pancakes are fluffy and their bacon was crispy and not too greasy. The service was attentive and they did not skimp on coffee refills.

Pop's Family Restaurant - Southwest Breakfast Burrito (chili, avocado, eggs, cheese) and sausage and eggs on rye - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

Great service and wonderful food. Met some family here for lunch last Saturday around noon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty busy, full parking lot and rather full of people inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Was given a buzzer to let us know when our table was ready and it was ready within all of 5 minutes. Our server was attentive. I had the Chicken Caesar Salad. The dressing was barely on there, but I was thrilled as I'm currently watching my calorie intake. The children enjoyed their food as well (spaghetti/meatballs and nachos) and had plenty of leftovers to eat the rest of the weekend. Easy to get to location, would highly recommend. read more

A friend invited me to Pop's. I had never heard of them, I usually go to another franchise down the road. But I was glad he told me about Pop's. It is definitely a great diner to get some good breakfast. I created my own Monte Cristo. French toast, ham, eggs sunny side up, and swish cheese. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A comfy spot, for comfy food, and excellent service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We're in town for the week, and since my husband is from here and always raves about this place, we decided to try it for brunch. It was busy when we arrived around 11:30, but the wait wasn't long. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is bright, clean, and beautiful, and the first thing you notice is a tempting dessert case filled with pies and cakes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were greeted and seated quickly, and our server was very sweet. Service was fast--we ordered and got our food in no time. I had the Country Fresh Eggs - sunny-side-up eggs with hash browns and sausage. The sausage had a great snap and tasted like real, high-quality sausage--not the typical frozen kind you find at diners. My husband ordered the Western omelette, and it was excellent. It wasn't overloaded with cheese, so you could actually taste the eggs and other ingredients. The eggs were fluffy and perfectly cooked--not dry at all. Overall, we really enjoyed our brunch and would definitely come back. read more

I have tried breakfast, lunch & dinner there. I've consistently gotten bad meals. Bland breakfast. Tasteless food. How is the Greek chicken gyro served with chicken that isn't even marinated? Yesterday was the final straw, I sent back my roast beef wrap. They should be embarrassed for serving roast beef that was hard, dark brown and just old!! Had a family member taste it and she spit it out saying it was awful. Waitress was understanding and quickly brought me a tuna wrap that was below average. Onion rings were hard & dry, zero flavor. I have to say their sweet potato fries are delicious. No more Pop's for me! read more

You can get anything you want, at our Pop's Restaurant... Just like an old song that you know the words to, Pop's Diner is consistently good. Pop's Diner is everything you want in a classic hometown diner. The food is consistently delicious, portions are generous, and the prices are fair. Breakfast is always spot-on, from perfectly cooked eggs to crispy home fries, and the lunch options never disappoint. What really sets Pop's apart, though, is the staff. They're friendly, welcoming, and make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy a great meal, and leave happy every time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're looking for comfort food done right with excellent service, Pop's Diner is a must-visit. read more

Recently checked out Pops for dinner. It was lit super busy which was great. We started with mozz sticks which were ok. My fiancé had chocolate chip pancakes, bacon and an English muffin. I opted for the Chicken Sorrento sandwich, which was a cutlet with fresh mozz, red peppers, spinach and prosciutto on a ciabatta roll. It was very tasty! Service was great and place was clean. We probably will come back again. read more

At 4:56pm on 5/1/2026 I went to the Pop's restaurant to place a takeout order. Cheeseburger, fries, and onion rings. I took a seat in the waiting area. Thirty-five minutes later the person at the register saw me there and the look on her face was oops, forgot about this customer. She gave me my order, which I took and went home. When I opened the packages, it was obvious that the food had sat out for a while. I returned to Pop's and gave the food back to the same person and noted that it was obvious it had sat out for a while. I expected to hear "what can we do to make this right?" "Would you like to see the manager?" What I got was that it was my fault. I should have been checking on the order. I said, "so this is my error?" And she said, well the food is left here, pointing to the customer counter area. Paid $28.00 and got treated like a jerk. This place is usually very customer friendly except for today. Disappointing. read more

Loved it! Stopped in with my family on a Monday for lunch. There were tables available but it was crowded. They have an extensive menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. They also had a few specials. We ordered the Turkey club that came with fries, the Cobb salad and the chopped salad. The portions were HUGE and the prices were fair. We also ordered a side of their famous chicken salad which was amazing! Highly recommend. The service was good; our waitress consistently refilled our drinks (refills are free)! Overall, it gave me diner vibes! The food was good, portions were huge and prices were fair! I'd be back! read more

In all my 70 years, across the country and in other countries, I've never been to a place that does breakfast as well as this place. Excellent food, great service, totally accommodating of our needs and very reasonably priced. I went with my wife, daughter and son-in-law and my two grandsons, one an infant. The food came out quickly, it was delicious and after we stuffed ourselves full, the bill for all of us was only $62 (including tax). Go out of your way if you need to, but get here for a Sunday morning breakfast! read more

A Milford original! This place as been around as long as I can remember (and I have been living in Milford for over 30 years!). It's been ages since I visited- I haven't been since they moved to the new location on Old Gate Lane - but I definitely wasn't disappointed. Tasty food, friendly staff, quick service and a warm, homey diner ambiance like no other. My visit today will likely be the first of many to come. read more

Mushy home fries and bland toast sausages are too big for my preference. I ate , but not to my liking. Will probably not come back for simple eggs sausage toast and home fries. But I am thankful to God for the food he gives and appreciate the cook read more

Another messed up grub-hub order, my charbroiled pork chops were to come with curly fries, and not garlic , but instead they opted to put mash potatoes in place of the fries.. problem is they put the mash potatoes in with my wife's order of broiled scrod , on top of the scrod , so I had fish potatoes to go with my garlic chops. Seems every grubhub order from there is a problem , can they not read? Or don't really care , if you call them they say please hold and you do for 20 plus minutes before the phone hangs up last order from this dive restaurant . read more

Awful service. Walked in, sat at the counter. Several people looked at me. Five minutes later, a gentleman sits down at the other end of the counter gets handed a menu. Finally, a waitress alerts, another waitress of my presence and points me out. The waitress goes over to the gentleman that got there after me And takes his order. I get up and walk out and she just smirks at me. This was my second time at this restaurant and it will certainly be my last. Horrible, horrible service. I will spend my time and money in an establishment with better customer service. Im disgusted. read more

It's a nice spot for breakfast/brunch but some the menu items are a little bland for my taste. I went with a large group, so they are good for large groups of people. The menu variety is also great for large groups that have different palates, wants and needs. Almost all of us ordered breakfast, but my father in-law ordered lunch. They do have a good variation of lunch items as well. The staff is always pleasant so we would definitely attend again. It can get quite loud in there but you can still hold a conversation without a problem. There is onsite parking. I recommend making reservations in advance especially on the weekends. read more

EGGS-cellent! Found this place on Yelp and so glad that I did. Everything was perfect, from beginning to end. The building itself is a stand alone building. The interior was decorated for the fall with scarecrows and pumpkins. A homey, well kept diner of sorts. The menu is huge, so there's something for everyone. We arrived ona Sunday at 7am and the place already had about a dozen people already eating. I got the country omelette (tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, potatoes) with home fries and toast. Delicious as it gets. Our server was a gentleman, and quick too. We will DEFINITELY return! read more

Pop's Family Restaurant - Country Omelette Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

I frequent so many diners across the US you'd think I'm a scout for Diners, Dives, & Drive-Ins. Pop's is among the elite list of Best Diner's I've ever stepped foot in. It's pretty unassuming from the outside, which is something I look for when on the prowl to satisfy a hangover-fueled hunger. (That usually means they don't need to advertise their business.) The service was outstanding. Seated immediately, two steaming-hot coffees placed down in under a minute, and the menu had so many great options. Deciding between the West Coast Burrito and the Pop's Omelette was like trying to choose which of my parents I'd want to live the longest. The French toast was fluffy and light, the bacon was crispier than a fresh hundred dollar bill. And the table was clean enough to forego plates and drink my syrup right of the counter. Cannot wait to come back! read more

Ordered takeout a small Greek Salad. Online menu said it was $6.95. When I got the order found it was actually $10.59. Also the salad was shorted the stuffed grape leaves. Won't be going back anytime soon Very disappointed Called to let them know. They asked me if I wanted to come and get a side to compensate. Too little, too late. I'm not going to drive back to get a side. read more

The food is incredibly salty, and very average tasting. It definitely caters to a very old, and very young crowd- nothing offensive to the palate. The thing I really hated was OAN was blaring on a TV. OAN? Family restaurants should refrain from playing right-wing russian propaganda. I will never go back. read more

If you are looking for a clean classic diner style restaurant this is the place. They have a large menu with plenty of options and the food was better than I expected it would be. When we arrived (a Friday evening) it seemed very busy and we had to sit and wait, but only for just a few moments. Quick service and attentive staff. read more

Is the dessert display case a good way to judge a diner? It's probably not the best indicator of an establishment as a whole, but it's certainly a good place to start. I mean, after all, the dessert case is the first thing you see when walking in the door. It's also the last impression you have when you leave. Which is why it's so well lit, and generally packed full of tempting treats. It's almost as if you're encouraged from the get go to save room for dessert. Except at Pop's, the evening we went, the dessert case was sparse, and some treats were wrapped so tightly in cling wrap that their icing was being crushed from its protective embrace. As it turned out, we were at the diner just for a little dessert, so the state of the dessert case was especially disappointing. That said, it made our choice very easy. One dessert stood tall above the rest, and that was the molten chocolate cake. When we placed the order, we were asked if we would like some ice cream to go alongside the hot gooey treat. Heck yeah. Cold vanilla ice cream, and hot molten chocolate cake? It's always a winner. Even if the ice cream isn't all that great. My son, who simply got a dish of the chocolate ice cream learned that he's spoiled for good ice cream. And perhaps had it been paired with a warm brownie, the chocolate ice cream would have been fine. On it's own, it was a bit of a let down. Still, we had high hopes of returning the next morning for chocolate chip pancakes. However, Saturday morning of Thanksgiving weekend, the place was so mobbed we couldn't even find a parking space. Alas. We'll make the trip one more time for pancakes, and maybe, hopefully, that will bring Pop's up a star or two. To be continued. read more

5 star for sure. I've been on a roll with 4 and 5 star restaurants lately. This place is right off the highway a bit past Lowes on Old Gate Lane. Pops is clean, well organized, spacious, great atmosphere, and friendly workers. Our waitress was attentive and sweet. Gigantic turkey club wrap with a gluten free wrap, monster side of fries, and a cup of cole slaw (see photo). Large chicken quesadilla with sides of salsa, sour cream and guacamole. Everything was large, fresh, delicious, and quick service. With 2 large sodas....$33+ tip. So glad we stopped here. read more
