The whole experience was not good from the get-go. When we arrived we waited by the front counter patiently for a few minutes while 5 or 6 employees walked back and forth without greeting or asking us to wait to be seated. Inside is cute, outdated but charming. The service was okay - our server was not very warm towards us and I'll leave it at that - the gentleman that delivered the food was the only pleasant person in the establishment it seemed. The value of the meal was too expensive for what we received in my opinion. We spend just about $40 on 2 eggs & toast with a side of corned beef hash, and bills big breakfast which consisted of 3 eggs, sausage, toast, home fries and pancakes. The corn beef hash was unlike any other hash we've ever had, it tasted like mustard and didn't say anything about mustard on the menu. Neither of us ate very much of it. The toast on both plates looks like they just buttered raw bread, a far stretch from being called toast. The sausage was cool, I'm thrilled they didn't offer a brown and serve patty; and it was like a real sausage shaped into a patty, my complaint is it was Italian sausage, that's a very specific type of sausage to offer for breakfast and should be listed if that's the case. I cannot speak for anyone else but Italian sausage isn't what I think of when i want breakfast. Overall it was lack-luster, over priced, and the service couldn't make up for the first 2 negatives. There are other overpriced diners in the area that give a better meal and better attitude for the same price.

I've been coming to Bills for years and the food and service never disappoints! This is truly one of the only places that has NEVER faltered on my food restrictive requests. I love that I can get breakfast all day and appreciate the weekend specials for something different. The hospitality is always top notch here, they truly treat their patrons like family and are incredibly inviting. I bring family/ friends here often because their homemade bread, bagels, muffins, etc. are SOO good, they're always a crowd pleaser and the space accommodates all ages. Even the busiest of days (expect a line on weekends) resulted in only a 20 min wait, max - they're incredibly efficient and the wait is always worth it :)

I should have stuck with the awesome pancakes I had last time. This breakfast definitely wasn't as good as my last 5 star visit. Service was good on an early Saturday morning. We all got home fries with our breakfast and all of our orders had burnt home fries that none of us ate more than a few bites of. The rest of it was average. I'll definitely stick with the pancakes!

This place is so wonderful! I highly recommend this place if your looking for excellent food and great service! The eggs Benedict are the way to go for sure! Fresh food and comes quick! The bakery is fantastic too! Dreads! Wonderful place and like I said the staff are super friendly!

Elizabeths Farmhouse - Lemon pesto chicken sandwich

Elizabeths Farmhouse

Elizabeth's Farmhouse -- Putnam, Connecticut…read more By far one of the best meals I've ever had, and quite possibly the best burger of my life! Coming from Southern California with a culinary background, I'll admit my expectations can sometimes be modest when dining outside well-known food scenes. Elizabeth's Farmhouse didn't just exceed them--it blew them away. My wife and I arrived in Putnam looking for a quick bite and found this charming, approximately 50-seat restaurant with no wait. I ordered an Oktoberfest from a local brewery, while my wife chose an Old Fashioned. She ordered the Farmhouse Meatloaf Wrap, I chose the burger, and we shared the German Onion Soup. The German Onion Soup was outstanding. The onions were caramelized to a beautiful deep amber, with rich umami, subtle garlic and shallot, and a wonderfully developed beef broth. The crostini, topped with perfectly melted Gruyère, brought everything together. Every component was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. Then came the burger--and this was no ordinary burger. Cooked to a flawless medium-rare, it featured thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, crispy red onions, aged sharp white cheddar, ancho chili barbecue sauce, and a perfectly seasoned Niman Ranch all-beef patty on a soft brioche bun. Every bite delivered an incredible balance of smoky, savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. Nothing overpowered anything else. Without question, this was one of the best burgers I've ever had. My wife's Farmhouse Meatloaf Wrap was equally impressive, featuring tender meatloaf, creamy mashed potatoes, aged white cheddar, and house-made chipotle mayonnaise. Rich, hearty comfort food elevated through thoughtful preparation and excellent execution. Even the fresh-cut fries deserve recognition. Cooked beautifully and served with house-made ketchup that reminded me of an Italian nonna's homemade marinara. When even the simplest condiment receives that much attention, you know you're dining somewhere special. By the end of our meal, both plates were completely clean. As someone with a culinary background, I appreciate the difference between food that is simply prepared and food crafted with genuine passion. Elizabeth's Farmhouse is a shining example of the latter. To the chef and everyone behind the scenes: your passion for food does not go unnoticed. You've created something truly special in Putnam, Connecticut. I rarely write restaurant reviews, but this experience absolutely deserved one. Five stars, without hesitation. I'll be back hungry for more!

The service is sometimes great; sometimes...so-so. I've gotten different kinds and difficult to make out what the standard is for service. Overall-- good-ish. I made a reservation and was on time but my table was given to another customer who did not rsvp and was asked to wait for 20+mins. Happened twice. The interior is cozy and tight; but very cute and nice. Like its name; it's like a farmhouse decor. The outside architecture is all black and it may look closed but it is the restaurant :) ! A good restaurant to try out !!!

Healthy, fresh, filling, and they make a killer margarita! What else can you ask for…read more They do what they do exceptionally well. They only serve breakfast and lunch, and they close early (2 pm weekdays). The staff, from the hostess to the servers, were all very friendly. Nice to see smiles again in a restaurant! I loved the maple margarita. Perfect balance of sweet and salty. The food came out hot and nicely plated. Do not miss the smashed potatoes, the veggie hash, and the freshly squeezed juices. All are delicious. My omelette was jam packed with all kinds of veggies. The only negative is that it is very loud inside and can be hard to hear your own conversation. If I lived close by, I would be a regular.

I've been here for both of my sisters' graduation brunches, and we always leave happy. It's become one of our favorite spots for a celebratory brunch. For drinks, I tried their new Vanilla Bean Matcha Latte with oat milk. It was a bit thicker than I expected--possibly because of the oat milk. I can definitely see some people loving that texture, but for me it was just okay. That said, it was still a good drink, and the hint of vanilla came through nicely without overpowering the matcha. For food, we ordered a variety of dishes for the table. 1. The chicken and waffles had so much flavor, and the poached eggs were cooked perfectly--not too runny, but still soft, gooey, and delicious. The chicken was a little soggy, but it made up for it by being incredibly tender. 2. The blueberry pancake was fantastic. Their pancake portions are huge, so this time we only ordered one to share. It was delicious, though definitely on the heavier side. 3. The house burger was easily the standout dish of the meal and might be my favorite item on the menu. It's simple and classic, but packed with flavor. 4. The chicken burger, on the other hand, was disappointing. The chicken was quite dry, and I probably wouldn't order it again. I think something like pickled onions or another acidic topping could help bring some balance and moisture to the sandwich. 5. We also tried the omelet, which was very good, especially with the goat cheese. What really made the experience special was that the staff noticed we were celebrating a graduation and surprised us with complimentary donuts. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a lovely way to end the meal.
