    Bacon, eggs, English muffin and bacon special
    Jennifer K.

    Loved the tea kettle. We ordered 3 egg and toast specials and one blueberry waffle. 4 coffees. It was all very good. Their specialty is fancy pancakes!!

    Apple crisp pancakes and corned beef hash 10/10

    Amazing pancakes and great service! Wish they had coffee mugs for sale as a souvenir !!!!!

    Mexican Breakfast Burrito
    Sana G.

    Stopped in for brunch with my friend and we both ordered the same thing, the Mexican Breakfast Burrito. Our server actually quipped with us about how the kitchen would love us for making it a simple order but we ended up waiting over an hour for our food. By the time we got it, the potatoes on the plate were cold but the burrito itself was really good. It's a cute spot for breakfast or brunch and their menu is really expansive, though a little bit pricey. However, the wait time was quite excessive.

    Outstanding Breakfast!!

    Another terrific meal . Blueberry/ Zucchini French toast for me andan egg sandwich bacon and cheddar along with one small pancake on the side Service was wonderful. Dorothy was on top of everything. We will be back

    Tea selection and from Savvy Tea of Madison

    The Tea Kettle is a local favorite amongst those on the shoreline. I heard a lot hype about their over-the-top pancakes menu; pancake stacks could be classified as desserts and boozy breakfast concoctions. While being in the area bright and early on a Saturday, we wondered in for breakfast. We arrived 30 minutes after opening and the atmosphere was pleasantly low-key--though I can see it getting busy during peak times. We were greeted and seated right away. The dining room was a decent size with a bar up front with a view into the kitchen. It was like a cross between a diner and grandma's house. There was a collection of unique ceramic tea kettles that were dispersed around the restaurant with other tea-center decor. The menu was extensive. From the crazy pancakes presented on a wall to eggs benedicts and omelets, southern specialties, smoothies, milkshakes, mimosas and cocktails, oh, and they are open for lunch too! They offer a variety of paleo, keto, and gluten free options which was pleasant to see. They serve tea from Savvy Tea of Madison. My husband ordered one of their daily specials: Loaded Breakfast Quesadilla. It was a large quesadilla filled with scrambled eggs, green peppers, onions, bacon, home fries & cheddar cheese. It came with sour cream and salsa. The quesadilla was loaded and very filling that he boxed up half of it for home. I decided on the Vanilla Vodka Blueberry Cream French Toast. This was an unusual order for me as I particular don't like french toast nor do I like sweet options for breakfast--but this is what the Tea Kettle is known for, so why not? Well, let me tell you... This was the BEST french toast I had ever had and I don't want french toast from anywhere else moving forward. The toast was spongy, had delicious caramelized grilled edges, tasty cinnamon and spices and then topped with a non-overly sweet, fresh blueberry vanilla vodka cream sauce, dollops of fresh whipped cream, powdered sugar, and a delicious maple butter. The toppings themselves were enough and no need for extra syrup. I am dreaming about the french toast as I write this, so yummy! Our server was friendly and business started to pick up once we finished our meals. I can see The Tea Kettle getting very busy, especially during the spring and summer season. I look forward to returning to getting some more french toast or trying some of their famous pancakes. If you are in the area, it's worth the stop and make sure you come hungry.

    Cute restaurant. Seems like a local favorite. Our service was nice and attentive. Our order took much longer than expected. The server came over to apologize. I was looking forward to my meal, it sounded so good on the menu. I was disappointed. It missed the mark for me.

    You have to try one of their MASSIVE pancakes! So many types to choose from, and so so good!
    Krystal K.

    We loved the selection on their breakfast menu, from the expected eggs and omelettes to smoothies, Southern staples and sweet delights like their French toast, waffles and HUGE signature amazing pancakes! They have paleo, keto, GF and organic offerings too! Will have to come back to try their bougie boozy cakes!

    Pulled Pork omelette So good.
    Juan C. R.

    Excellent ambiance and service. The food was delicious. The burrito was also amazing. What else can I say? What are you waiting for? Come!!!

    Lemon Poppy Pancake Special
    Erin D.

    Incredible, gigantic pancakes that are light and fluffy! The Tea Kettle has a cozy, diner-like feel in a shopping plaza but still has a good amount of seating. Their menu is large and includes a huge list of indulgent specialty pancakes. They also have a gluten-free/paleo menu, so plenty of options for every eater! The lemon poppyseed pancakes with maple butter were awesome and there was enough to feed the full table.

    Totally legit version of itself. The $5.00 slider option was great, especially the Buffalo Burger…read more The French Onion dip with the onion rings was also wonderful. Shannon did a great job running the bar while serving us!

    I'm a big wing fan and a big hot dog fan. The Wing Addicts recommend Jack Rabbits for wings, and a…read morerestaurant I love recommended them for hot dogs too. I recently planned an errand in the general Old Saybrook area so I could try both at Jack Rabbits. I had the vague impression that there may be more than one part to Jack Rabbits. I went to the part that's more of a bar. It was crowded. There was one table open, but I opted for one of the last seats at the bar. If Jack Rabbits isn't quite a dive bar, it's dive-bar-adjacent. There were clearly a lot of area regulars there. The bartenders were all friendly and helpful. They knew the names of a lot of customers. Always a good sign. The thing about trying both the hot dog and wing part of the menu when you're alone, you can't really do a deep dive into either part of the menu. And the depth of the menu, definitely warranted a deep dive. I'll return to try more of the menu with reinforcements next time. I ordered a New York style hot dog, which was served with a split and grilled Hummel as the base. The toppings included sweet pepper relish, mustard, bacon pieces, kraut and onions. There was a lot going on in a way that I enjoyed. The dog was well cooked. They had a number of specialty dogs I'd like to try. I also ordered 8 Sriracha Lime Cilantro wings, and ate four there and brought the rest home for my son. Good flavor. Good texture. Meaty wings at a goods price. My son liked them too. Wing Addicts had another good call. I'll definitely return. 4.5 Stars
