“ Following a visit to "The Muddy Puppy" with our pet, we enjoyed a delightful breakfast at Connie's Kitchen. The service was prompt and the staff were courteous and accommodating. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The only minor inconvenience was some kitchen noise, which was quickly resolved after we mentioned it to our server. ”
“ It's like walking into your grandmother's or your Aunt Connie's kitchen. Everyone greets you with a smile and makes you feel warm, welcomed and comfortable, better than your own family because they are genuinely glad to see you! Their grits, pancakes and French Toast are the best in the area. Next time I will try their lunch menu. If this restaurant was in a higher traffic area, there'd be a line out the door all day.

“ Nice little neighborhood place in the Yalesville section of Wallingford. Staff was friendly and attentive your needs. Some what of a line on Sunday morning but move fairly quickly. ”
“ We have been going to Connie's for just over a month now. It's our new favorite breakfast spot! The corned beef hash is out of this world, and their waffles are way too good. Everything else is equally as delicious and fairly priced. The waitstaff is incredibly friendly and quick! ”
“ Small place but tasty breakfast Sammy. Been here twice, very nice servers, A ”

“ I am happy to share this hideaway diner located in Wallingford CT. I recently took a trip to visit family and friends and was hoping for a place that was capable of handling my morning appetite but with a fair price, and this place did not disappoint. My partner and I order the same meal (God knows I need more grits in my life and so he provided that too!) The Western omelets were amazing, beautiful in presentation (as far as.l omelets go) and not greasey or soggy. Downside is the potatoes were limited it seems and it took what I feel to be a little long for our food but, I understand breakfast diners are busy on Sundays. From personal experience as a cook and server at diners etc I find that this place has the best food in the Wallingford area when it comes to breakfast! Can't wait to.visit again. ”
“ This is a simple hole in the wall kind of place. Nothing fancy, but everything seemed clean. The seats were comfortable. It wasn’t chic or cool or anything, but for what it was, the atmosphere was perfect. No frills decor but that’s fine. Being our first time at this place, my husband asked the waitress what was good at the restaurant. She suggested the homemade corned beef hash so we both ended up getting it. It was so good!! Omg!!! I also opted for grits instead of home fries because you don’t often see grits on menus in ct. They must have been made with milk (or maybe cream). I’ve only made them with water. They were unlike any grits I’ve ever had - so rich. It was delicious but it was a lot. (I’ll order more wisely next time.) Speaking of ordering, I knocked off a star on service because the menu listed a side of home fries as 4 and a cup of grits as 4 so I asked if I could substitute the home fries that came with my meal for the grits. The server said of course, but then I was surprised to see that I was charged 3 extra for the grits. She should have mentioned that it wasn’t an even substitution when I ordered, especially since the sides were priced the same so it seemed like it should be an even swap. Everything else (toast and eggs), while not complicated, was prepared perfectly. They had rye bread, which I asked for, and it was toasted and buttered perfectly. The eggs over easy were prepared just right. It’s easy to take these things for granted, but so many places screw it up - your toast will only get a blob of butter in one spot, your eggs will be overdone, etc. But not here. They also had a couple specials that sounded very tempting too - an omelette with homemade meatloaf (I’ve never heard of such a thing, but it sounds amazing!) and French toast made with banana bread. It’s been several hours since we ate there and I still I can’t stop thinking about that corned beef hash. Even though we usually go to New Haven for brunch, I need to figure out how to work a breakfast in Wallingford into my rotation now and then. It’s a good thing I don’t live in Wallingford. I’d probably be eating there every day! ”
