It's a typical old fashioned diner, but the service is good, and with their dinners, they serve good old fashioned real mashed potatoes! Just right, and not watered down! Love it!

We stopped in quickly for lunch and happy we did! The menu was huge, they had all day breakfast and lunch. The staff were all friendly and our waitress was great! The restaurant itself was super clean, including the menus which you don't typically see! The food wasn't absolutely amazing but it was definitely good! And the price of the bill for three people was extremely reasonable. Definitely will be visiting again! :)

Classic diner we always enjoy. Be advised the breakfast specials posted are no longer offered. It was a little disappointing since the things while not on the bar were still within site so we assumed they were still offered - switched to the western omelette this time and enjoyed but now that specials are discontinued bang for buck the best thing IMO on the menu is the BEC sandwich

Visited today because a friend and I are making our through the Connecticut Diners of Connecticut book. We were very pleased with the food. I ordered the Roast Turkey Platter and it was really good. Thin sliced turkey, savory gravy, REAL mashed potatoes, delicious stuffing - and plentiful - I ended up taking most of it home. My friend ordered the Burger Patty Melt and said a few times that it was a really good Burger and she would go there again. Service was quick and the waitress was friendly. As for ambiance - first of all, itis a real diner manufactured by O'Mahony. Old, and it looks it although the bathrooms are new. The diner was clean but there was a torn seat vinyl here and there - hence less one star.

Makris must have a new owner. The last couple of times I ate there the food was excellent. Its regular diner fare but made very well and is fresh. The staff is excellent, prompt and friendly. The cornbeef has is homemade and fantastic. We had the "hearty Makris" with a side of the hash. So good! You can tell they really take care in all they do. I recommend them highly!

I drove way out of my way to this place a try. I am a diner food aficionado and had heard good things about this place and I have to say that it exceeded my expectations. The staff is friendly and affable. It has that old-fashioned, aluminum-walled, greasy spoon vibe that I love. Ample counter seating (this is a must.) The menu is basic and simple. They fresh grind the coffee beans as they brew pots and the coffee is good. Not amazing, but really good. No complaints there. I ordered what I always order the first time I eat at any diner: 2 eggs over easy, rye toast, home fries and corned beef hash. It was great. The cooks were cooked perfectly - it's not rocket science but you'd be shocked at how many poorly cooked over easy eggs I've had to suffer through. The hash was crisp without being greasy. But the home fries.... Dear Lord! I've never had anything like these. They were herby and fragrant. Absolutely delicious. I was beyond impressed. I ended with a slice of cherry pie so ugly that you knew it had to be homemade. It was tart and light, not overly sweet; the crust was flaky. I'll definitely swing through here again the next time I am in the area.
