A Jewett City Diner Since 2001

Inside, the original soda granite counter and vintage stools are still part of the room. That old-fashioned diner character is part of the experience, whether you're meeting neighbors for breakfast or visiting this corner of Eastern Connecticut. Stop in for familiar American diner food and the small-town atmosphere guests often mention.
