    French Toast Bacon Eggs Bowl of grits
    Lori D.

    I grew up seeing this diner after nearly 40 years, & I finally tried them out. It's crazy & comforting knowing this little diner has been in business for so long. Especially, watching others come & leave the small town of Bloomfield. There isn't a direct entrance, you have to step foot into the main building before taking your second step to their door. Upon entering it was somewhat noisy since they had a close to a full house & good size group of maybe 8 people dining. It was obvious they were natives of the town due to them catching up with other diners. Possibly a reunion of some sort. I was dining solo & aimed for seating at the bar counter but it was full. I peaked around the corner (L shape) but there were only booths lining the left wall. The group occupied the tables on the right. So I was forced to be that "guy" & sat myself in booth. I would have waited, but there isn't room for standing around unless you go back out. While I waited in my booth, I had time to decide my order & to be ready when the waitress arrived. With my order placed, I tinkered on my phone, observed & eaveseddropped on conversations. The restaurant seems to attract people of the mature & wise crowd. Sprinkled with people in there late 40's-50's. This diner is open from 7a-2p so I think that's fitting. Most were chatting, while some were enjoying the Sunday paper. The food arrived after what seemed like a 30min wait. One of the diners did ask about the wait time & how it was longer than usual, so it wasn't entirely my imagination. Although, the food was hot. So who can really complain. I ordered OJ, over medium eggs, that came out a tad big runnier than I prefer. Delicious bacon. Not crispy but not rubbery. Two beautiful French toasts, & a bowl of perfectly cooked homestyle thick grits, just the way I like them, not loose & soupy. The waitress also provided a heaping amount of butter without asking! A woman after my heart. I dug in & was completely & utterly satisfied. I was ready for an afternoon nap. Also, I want to mention, they have real OJ. I hope to catch them open again. This definitely a great breakfast spot.

    Very nice intimate Mom and pop restaurant. Located in the plaza with plenty of parking. We were acknowledged and seated right away. Our waitress was sweet and took the orders right away. We were a table of 5 with 2 children and ordered Belgian Waffles, pancakes, omlette and steal meal. The food came in a reasonable time fresh and hot. My Waffle was fluffy and favorable and there was not an empty plate on the table. Reasonable prices and good service and food. Reccomend for sure!!

    It's a diner and offers diner fare, as well as diner decor. (Well, decor that looks like it hasn't changed since the 80s.) The service is friendly and pleasant. The food is good. My little boy enjoyed his "House Burger" - which comes with tomato, mushroom, cheese of your choice, bacon, mayo, & pickle slices, as well as a generous amount of fries. (He asked for the addition of lettuce.) My teen enjoyed his grilled cheese wrap in your choice of wrap (he chose garlic herb), and it also came with pickle slices and fries. My husband was good with his triple decker club sandwich (toasted bread with mayo, turkey, bacon, lettuce, and tomato); however, he did find the toasted bread too dry. (He prefers it grilled, like crisp on the outside, but not toasted too dry -- as in hurt the roof of your mouth dry.) It comes with a little cup of cole slaw, pickle slices, and fries. For myself, I had the country omelet -- a 3-egg omelet with bacon, sausage, ham, and cheese -- served with your choice of potatoes, toast, and coffee or tea. I chose home-fried potatoes, (toasted & buttered) wheat bread, and coffee. My meal was satisfying and very filling. For the table, we also had an order of 2 blueberry pancakes. My husband and I (both having grown up in Southern California and having traveled the US, Europe, Oceania, & Asia) have this running joke about pancakes that we've tried in Connecticut. We have found it difficult to find what we consider a good pancake (i.e. fluffy, tasty, etc.) here in Connecticut. This place had a decent blueberry pancake; it's not the greatest, but it most certainly wasn't the worst.

    Chopped Steak Dinner Hot Open Roast Beef Plate Hot Open Turkey Plate Fried Shrimp Dinner Shrimp Parmigiana Dinner The Town and Country Luncheonette's menu has 190 things on it, not counting beverages and side orders. So guess how many of those 190 will set you back ten bucks or more? Just the 5 above items, that's all. The pricing here is quite reasonable. Club or Wrap sandwiches with fries for eight bucks, foot long steak grinders for under nine bucks, three egg omelettes with home fries and toast for seven bucks, not too bad right? Not sure how long T&CL has been around, but it was here when we moved into the Valley in 1987 and its still here today. That's thirty years, bud. We had breakfast this morning and it was jam packed, so it's still very popular. Our two omelettes and two coffees ran $19.46. My Mexican omellette had three eggs, jalapeno slices, diced onions, diced tomatoes, and cheese, plus 2 slices of toast plus a big scoop of home fries for just $8.15. No rip-off factor, no pretension, no attitude, just honest food and good service for a fair price. They're open seven days a week for breakfast and lunch.

The atmosphere was relaxing, clean, and family-friendly. One thing that immediately stood out was the menu. It's about 10 pages long, with an incredible variety of options. Whether you're in the mood for breakfast, lunch, American classics, or Mexican favorites, there's truly something for everyone. The presentation is beautiful. The drinks are garnished with fresh flowers and slices of lemon or cucumber, making them feel extra special. Even the food is served with colorful touches like a slice of orange and a strawberry on a skewer, showing they really pay attention to the details. My kids enjoyed an orange juice and an apple juice. I ordered the mango dragonfruit lemonade, and it was refreshing, flavorful, and the perfect drink for a warm day. For my meal, I had the avocado toast topped with an egg and crispy bacon. It was fresh, filling, and absolutely delicious. The boys loved their meals too. One had the chocolate chip pancakes, which were fluffy and loaded with chocolate chips, while the other had a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich served with crispy home fries. They also offer a great selection of specialty waffles and pancakes, giving us plenty of reasons to come back and try something new. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service was outstanding. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. Between the delicious food, beautiful presentation, generous portions, reasonable prices, and excellent service, this is definitely a place we'll be returning to. I highly recommend checking it out!

Upon entering, we found the wait staff chatting with each other at the seats or serving the handful of customers in the dining room. Decor was heavily coffee influenced-- from the wallpaper to the wall art, it's obvious a cup of joe plays a role here. We ordered a smattering of breakfast dishes and of course, two of the poutine dishes. Overall the food was just ok, not memorable. The pancakes had a nice texture but were largely flavorless; maple syrup helped somewhat but that ended up being the only flavor. Eggs were serviceable, potatoes were fine. The poutine was okay. I've had much better in Canada. Theirs felt like a beef based gravy out on top of French fries, with pockets of cheese curds, which were the better part of the meal. The Quebecois poutine was better, with added ham & veggies to add some complexity. The downside of our visit came as we approached their closing hour of 2pm. The crew started cleaning up and vacuuming around us as we were still eating before close. I had a single cup of coffee, and when I asked for a refill, the waitress apologized and said they poured it out because it was getting close to closing time. Ironic, considering the amount of pro-coffee memorabilia around the restaurant. We hadn't even hit closing but pouring out the coffee while a table was still eating didn't cross anyone's mind. (Nor cleaning around us, passively encouraging us to leave.) The coffee wasn't removed from the bill in recognition that maybe they made a mistake. Overall.. eh. I was hoping for more, but it is what it is. I'm sure it's fine for the regulars, but this wasn't worth the long trip for what I was hoping was a callback to Quebec faire, in Connecticut.

The place was packed when I got there, lots of locals all enjoying their company and their dishes. Got a seat at the counter right away, grabbed a menu and checked through their offerings. Decided on French toast with real maple syrup and biscuits and gravy. Food came out quick especially with the crowd. Everything was cooked, the French toast was okay. Not soaked enough, toasted with butter but not a lot of cinnamon in the dredge. Not great, but very functional. The biscuits and gravy were very much a northern take on the southern classic. Grands biscuits grilled on the flat top with grey goopy gravy on top. Very lackluster. The staff was very friendly, and the price was very cheap. Even with the golden delicious branded syrup upcharge the bill was only 12 dollars. Which is very affordable given the quality was not so great. As a generic diner, it does basic dishes well enough. There's not a ton of breakfast spots around, so it does well as that local greasy spoon. Doesn't need to be fancy, cause it's one of the few places in town and they are serviceable. I wouldn't drop by on my travels, but if you need cheap eats then this place will fit the bill
