Pretty a-okay local breakfast joint while on the road. Oftentimes heading into unknown territory can be a huge risk, but the staff was super friendly, and the breakfast did the trick. Greasy and carby for the remaining drive ahead. read more

Scotty's in Wallingford was interesting. Cute little downtown, local dive vibe. We went in with great expectations. My go to breakfast when I go to any new place (to me) is to always try the eggs Benedict. Their Scotties Benny had an interesting spin on the original. It had some cheese in it which I was happy to try. It also came with home fries, which were delicious. I have had better eggs Benedict then this, I don't think it needed the cheese, and the sauce on it was not very fresh. My friend got a muffin and an egg sandwich, where there was more roll than egg. Also the butter he was offered to put on the muffin, was something other than butter. One of the more interesting things about Scotty's, was we were served our breakfast on paper plates, we had plastic utensils, and that was a huge turn off for me. Our waitress was excellent, so no beef there. I guess my last gripe would be that when we checked in to Scotty's a 10% off coupon popped up, which happens occasionally being a Yelp elite. The waitress assured us that the manager would help us with the 10% off so when the time came we showed her the coupon. The manager questioned us saying it must be for another restaurant, there is a Scotty's in Branford she said. And then when we prove to her that we were at the right Scotty's, it seemed as though we were truly inconveniencing her. Needless to say, I will not recommend Scotty's to anyone, nor will I return. read more

Food is not good, wait is long, gross paper plates. I have lots of sanitation questions.

A small Hole in the wall with great food and great service. I was pleasantly surprised and if I lived locally I'd definitely be a regular!

$8.75 breakfast to feed an always hungry doc year old. Done and sold! A perfect little hole in the wall we can't wait to come back to! read more

ordered Bacon egg & Cheese on hard roll with a side of hash and wasn't disappointed food was delicious & service was great definitely recommend if you in the area! read more

first off the food was served on a paper plate, next the pancakes had a sour taste that left me with food poisoning for 2 days. I think the fact that there were 2 people in the whole restaurant is a sign that no one should ever eat here. if you want to enjoy your next 48 hours after dining here then maybe skip out on the pancakes, I've never had a sour dough pancake until now. read more

Scotty's is the hole-in-wall breakfast joint that you must visit for breakfast. The waitress is called Lori, but may have easily been "Dottie"" or "Flo". She was quick with the coffee and a joke, and my cup was never empty. I had an omelet with home fries and toast, which was as one would expect at a diner, only better and less expensive. Patrons were all locals; no large tables of loud screaming kids or hostesses calling out names of the next party. Drop in for quick service and good food at a very reasonable price, you won't regret it. read more

Our favorite cozy breakfast spot in the area! Best omelets around and the service is always on point. They have a bathroom but they also kind of don't have a bathroom FYI so maybe take care of that before you get there. This place can get a little packed because it's small but I've never had to wait. Best time to go is early! read more

We live in the center of Branford and this is a "go to". The people are so nice. I have Celiac and need GF bread, they accommodate every time. It's a relieve to be able to eat there. read more

I really want to like this place more. The people who run it are so nice, and the service is good. The food however is very basic. Corned beef hash is canned not made fresh, pancakes are kind of tasteless like generic boxed mix, and there's no real maple syrup or butter (they use margarine). The eggs and omelettes are good and probably your best choice. Egg sandwiches are also good. read more

You need to hit this place just right to get a seat! We love going on our days off during the week so its not as packed. Meals are filling and super affordable! Sometimes our heads are bigger than our stomachs but just get a container to go! Typical breakfast options and although a limited lunch menu, there is an option for everyone! Pancakes fall over the plates edge & if you opt for a specialty you are in for a treat! Definitely not fine dining so dont expect more than just diner decor & grub. read more

Avoid like plague. I've seen what goes on in the kitchen and you would not be happy. Ring fake amounts on the cash register. Count your change. read more

Decided to give the new Scotty's in town a try. I was a long time customer and fan of this restaurant when they were on Broadway in North Haven. Sadly, when they opened in the new location on Washington Ave, it was not the same and somewhat disappointing, so I stopped eating there. But, I'm happy to report that our breakfast in Wallingford was excellent! For a Saturday morning around 8:30, it was surprisingly empty inside as I had anticipated a long wait. Considering they've only been open 1 week it's possible folks haven't had a chance yet to stop by. We were seated right away and within minutes had fresh, hot coffee. The service was great and Scotty has regained his "Omelet King" status with me! The omelet was huge and stuffed with veggies and cheese. The apple pancakes that I grew to love years ago were good, although just a tad too much cinnamon which was a little overpowering. The super breakfast with 2 of everything, including eggs, meat, toast, home fries and your choice of pancakes or French toast is a big breakfast and well worth the price. Daily specials are posted on a board. The prices are extremely reasonable for the portion and quality you get compared to other breakfast restaurants in the area. Even the eggs appeared to be jumbo and not the tiny pigeon eggs some breakfast places use. By the time we left, the place was filling up with people, plus the farmers market across the street may have contributed to that. The owners wife came by to check on everything to ensure we were pleased which is a nice touch. The place is small but quaint. If you're local to Wallingford I would encourage you to support them in their new location and get there before the masses find out and you'll have to wait in lines to be seated. read more

Scotty's Breakfast - Super Breakfast with Peanut butter cup pancakes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

Food was amazing and I will definitely be back. They were so nice and accommodating even though we order to go. Everything was so perfect !

First time visit for Father's Day breakfast and couldn't have been more satisfied with the service and food here. A great hidden gem right in the heart of town. Space is a little tight so wouldn't recommend for a party of greater than 4. I think we now have a new favorite breakfast place in Wallingford! read more

Stopped in with a coworker for an early lunch. She ordered a veggie omelet with home fries that she enjoyed. I ordered the grilled cheese burger, medium temperature with a side of potato salad. I was informed they were out of potato salad, and opted for macaroni salad. I was then informed they were also out of macaroni salad. So, that left only home fries or slaw. I took the home fries. That is okay for breakfast, but I was eating my lunch. Well, not the end of the world, the home fries were red skinned potatoes, all of which had the skins still left on them. Not my first choice, not my second choice, but I had little choice at this point. The burger which I ordered medium was actually cooked well done. The quality of the beef was previously frozen and gristly. The cheddar cheese (shredded package type) was barely even melted. It was however very reasonably priced at $5.00, but fact of the matter is that you get what you pay for. The service was good, but the place just felt like it needs a good cleaning. read more

Food was great, service really good. The only negative would be place needs an update, seems like a hole in the wall bar. But will go back food is great with great portion sizes read more

Went to Scottys Breakfast in Wallingford for the first time today because it came up on another app as a suggestion. The restaurant is not far from the train tracks that pass through the town. I was with my family and when we opened the door to the restaurant we were surprised how small it was inside, 3 booths and about 7-8 stools at the counter. The middle of the restaurant is the kitchen area which is open so you see your cook making your meal. Originally we sat at the counter because all of the booths were filled but a couple that were seated left and we moved to a booth. Our waitress came over and we asked for coffee and juice for my daughter. She came quickly with coffee that was piping hot and tasted great. My wife and daughter ordered one of the specials and I ordered the super breakfast. The super breakfast comes with eggs, a choice of meat (bacon, sausage or other choices), toast, home fries and pancakes for under $10. I asked for scrambled eggs, bacon, white toast and pancakes. Everything was delicious, the eggs were especially great. I looked around and my wife and daughter had both cleaned their plates. Scottys has been around for some time and looks like it is mostly visited by locals but I would recommend it is a place worth making a trip to for a very very delicious start to your day. read more

Scotty's is a pretty basic diner, but there's a reason my friends and I come back every Sunday for brunch. The service is excellent and you can really tell the staff cares about giving you a good meal. As far as the food goes, the menu is fairly standard, but having ordered upwards of a half-dozen different plates, I've never had a bad meal. Well worth supporting. read more

Very friendly staff. Good selection of breakfast food. Very reasonably priced. Big,tasty coffee with lots of attention to refills! The Benedict was not traditional but very good. I asked for it with a slice of tomato instead of ham and they were very accommodating. Homefries were delicious too! Will definitely go back. read more

Good typical diner food. Waitresses were super frazzled about there being maybe 15 people in there.

Scotty's is love, Scotty's is life. Do yourself a favor and make this your regular spot!

I'm going strictly on their omelettes which are consistently outstanding! Corned beef is not bad either!

I have been there 3 times and I have been happy with my food and the service each time.The egg sandwiches are served on a quality roll with great bacon and sausage.There is no long wait for take out orders which is great if your in a rush. read more

Tried Scottys for breakfast, outstanding breakfast, blueberry pancakes were served hot with a egg on top. Eggs over light done perfect, good coffee and daily breakfast specials... Short stack of pancakes or french toast, with a egg and two strips of bacon with coffee, $6.50... very good deal and served HOT! read more

This is the second time I have been here for breakfast. I had scrambled eggs wheat toast and homefries. The portions were large for the price. The service was good. The waitresses were very friendly. However, the home fries need work. They tasted like they were just heated up from the day before. I know home fries very well. I have been eating home fries my entire life and my father makes delicious home fries. Even if the home fries were from today, they were just heated up. They were definitely not fresh. The seasoning on the home fries was horrible. From what I could see, there was just paprika and pepper on it. The spices made the potatoes too spicy because too much spice was on the potatoes. The potatoes were also very dry and not very hot. I would love to show them how to make amazing home fries. I gave the restaurant three stars because of the hot eggs and good service. The restaurant was very quaint and clean. I would go back there to try something else. read more
