Great place for veggies - Edit
I would give them 5 stars for their food, prices, etc. but can't because they aren't 100% veg. They are the only veg place in town to serve all three meals and the veg food is organic, fresh, prepared well and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them after they expanded their vegan and vegetarian menu this year
Read morePros: many vegan options with expanded options, organic veg options, reasonable prices

I love this place... - Edit
I love the fact that they have vegan options. Most diners do not display that or have it. The quality of food is great. I have no complaints about this place. Great hospitality from all staff. If you're vegan or not, this is a must go to place... Enjoy🙂

A POOR, OVERPRICED EXPERIENCE June 2023 - Edit
I hadn't been back to the this diner for many years having lived more than an hour away. I was in the area with my husband and wanted to go there since I have been trying to go vegan for the last year.
Read moreRestaurant was extremely clean- a positive point, but not homey- just utilitarian looking.
First: the prices were supremely expensive- more than the typical diner.
A tempeh reuben was $19 + but I decided to try it anyway because I was expecting something really good. It came with pick of a side: french fries, cole slaw, fruit salad. I wanted the coleslaw- but couldn't choose it because it wasn't vegan so there was not much of a choice. (Don't know why they don't have a jar of vegan mayo handy).
My sandwich and fries arrived. - on a metal tray?, Brown, deep fried potatoes in a metal basket- the color they get when the grease has been in the fryer for too long. I ate a few and left the rest- not good. No condiments on the table at all- no salt, pepper, sugar, ketchup, no napkin dispenser.
Tempeh reuben on regular toast- comprised of red cabbage- one layer and was supposed to contain tempeh and a lentil patty and a sweet mustard sauce. I ate the first half and there was no tempeh in it. I thought it might be mixed into the lentil patty- I was wrong. Second half contained half a block of tempeh- unaltered, the lentil patty and the rest -so it was better than the first half.
My husband had the crab cake and the same fries. His, were thrown on the piece of paper on the metal tray- not in a basket. Also no garnishes anywhere (only $18.50 for this). You had to request ketchup to get a tiny paper container of it- like McDonalds. He oredered an egg cream to drink. Obviously, either they don't know how to make one or they got distracted when they were doing it. Classic egg cream is milk, seltzer and vanilla syrup. What he got was milk and seltzer only.
Total bill with tip was $46. Also, our waiter disappeared so we had to ask for our check at the counter.
The best thing I can say is the staff was very polite and pleasant and the place was clean.
Won't be going back there when we move to the area later this year.

Delicious Diner Experience - Edit
There are so many vegan options in their menu. I was able to go with non-vegan friends and there was wonderful food options for all of us! Lots of great Vegan&Gluten Free options as well! I ordered the tofu squash scramble and hash browns and a side of chocolate chip pancakes. So so so good! I’ll be back!

Great stop on 95 - Edit
The menu had several creative vegan options. Easy on/off to 95. We got the tofu scramble and the tacos, both pretty good. They needed a little hot sauce. Several non diary milk options for coffee. The staff was very knowledgeable and caring about our dietary needs (1 vegan and 1 gluten/dairy free). I will definitely stop here again when passing by.

A lot of vegan options for a diner - Edit
I had a chipotle tempeh wrap with sweet potato fries. It was good. A little bland. I couldn’t really taste any chipotle but it was good

An oasis on I-95! - Edit
I love this place. Whenever I’m in the area I look forward to stopping. How cool is it that there is a vegan menu at a regular diner? The hours of operation are long and the homestyle comfort food is filling and delicious without being too unhealthy. They have vegan butter for your toast & almond and soy milk for your coffee. They serve breakfast all day as well as lunch and dinner. I wish I lived closer!
Read morePros: right off I-95, breakfast, lunch & dinner, fast & friendly service

Nice Option - Edit
As the only WFPB vegetarian in my family it’s nice to have this restaurant in our area, which has options for everyone. It’s a little expensive but they make everyone feel welcome and we’ve always had a positive experience. I prefer the vegan lunch over breakfast offerings.

Good vegan options - Edit
To be honest, the food quality seems to be low, but they do cater to vegans with many options. They have at least 5 vegan breakfast options and about 6 lunch/dinner options. Good for a quick bite but not too healthy.

What a great surprise! - Edit
My parents and I were looking for somewhere to stop on the way up to NY and we saw a sign for the diner so we decided to check it out, and I'm glad we did! They had a whole vegan section for breakfast and lunch! And all of the food was very good! We ordered the two tofu scrambles and a vegan sloppy joe.

Good in a pinch - Edit
Your options in this area are limited, so this is nice to have. I just ate here once, passing through, so this is not a comprehensive review. The tempeh wrap was just so-so, but the sloppy joe was satisfying. I asked for hot sauce to kick it up a notch. The chili was uninspired. Sweet potato fries are always a hit.

vegan-iner - Edit
Not all vegan but definitely a diner with real home made vegan options, no frozen veggie patties here but rather a real home crafted black bean based burger. The tempeh in the tempeh Ruben also tasted home made.
Read moreThe food tasted great for diner food.
So nice to have options right off the highway when traveling. Lots of kudos to the diner owner or who ever decided to dedicate a portion of the menu to cater to vegan eaters, thank you!
Pros: right off 95 easy on/off, food seemed to be homemade, it's a diner!
Cons: although vegan deserts were on the menu they had n, this a diner not a fine restaurant

Amazing - Edit
A vegan, gluten free paradise with options for meat-eaters. This is our must stop restaurant when driving through Connecticut. A sister restaurant to Georgie's in West Haven, both are worth a stop.

Wonderful Surprise ! - Edit
It is not often that you see "Diner" & "Vegan" together. This delightful Diner actually has a separate section on the menu that is vegan.
Read morewe went for breakfast after an early morning walk at Hammonasset Beach.
The food was very good, and it was great to have choices.
I had the buckwheat pancakes and they were light, fluffy and cakey. I only wish they were gluten-free.
We will definitely be returning, I look forward to trying the Tempeh Reuben.

so many vegan options!!! - Edit
I was at a wedding at the Madison Beach Hotel and this place was recommended by the valet... A little hesitant as not many people get vegan especially when he said diner. The staff was awesome and they had so many vegan breakfast and lunch options . I would give this place 5 stars but happy cow won't let since its not 100%vegan

Diner Food Not Health Food, But Happy for Veg*n! - Edit
Can't beat the location and ease of on/off of I-95 if you are traveling through the area. This place deserves lots of props for offering veg*n options!! I'm not in love with the ruben (unlike some other posters) but the chickpea salad and the veggie burgers are delish (especially with the onion rings)! Salads available, chili and a really delicious butternut squash soup. The best part was dessert, though -- a special that day...chocolate raspberry layer cake! So good and a HUGE portion.
Read moreAs others have mentioned, this is a great place to meet up with omnis as well. Decor is typical diner with big screen TVs showing food channel or similar. We were there during the summer and the a/c is turned up on HIGH. Prices are on the high side for a diner but the portion sizes are generous.
Would love to see offered non-dairy ice cream, sundaes, milkshakes, egg creams!!
Pros: Easy access from I-95, Decent selections , Fantastic vegan cake
Cons: Kind of cold in the summer, Where's my milkshake?!
