The food is great. Service is always consistently excellent. The dining room is not too big, but also it's not too small. The owner knows how to always make you feel welcome. Read my previous reviews below to get even more. It's a delicious place to eat. Very tasty. read more

This place is a great stop for breakfast and lunch especially if you like home-style cooking. The staff is great and they are immediately ready to take orders when you come in. I dont understand why this place gets negative reviews, I mean there is usually one cook only so the wait for food is usually a little bit on the longer side for diner style ~10-15 minutes if busy, but the service and home feeling definitely make up for it. The only reason I can see why people leave negative reviews is because they couldnt read that it is a cash only business (who wants to pay Uncle Sam all that money!) In the photo is their big pancake stack with a side of sausage, they were buttery and delicious, but my favorite is their texas french toast (ill add pics the next time i order it) Definitely would recommend supporting this local cash business and stopping by for a bite and some hot, bottomless coffee read more

Coddington's On Meadow - A breakfast meal featuring pancakes with syrup, three sausage links, a cup of coffee with cream, and a glass of soda on a granite table. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

Be prepared, this is a cash only establishment. Thankfully, we had just enough cash between us to cover the tab and the tip. We had visited years ago, but had forgotten this fact. This is a small town, old school diner type restaurant. Looking around it seemed as if most of the patrons knew one another. Our son stuck to his standard hash & toast. I enjoyed a well made omelette with slightly less desirable homefries. My husband had eggs and toast. Overall a decent restaurant for the basics. We would come back if in the area again, but no rush. read more

This morning I visited coddingtons on meadow for a breakfast date and it was amazing! Our server greeted us right away and was so friendly! I got the bacon egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel with home fries and it was just melt in your mouth perfect! This brunch spot is so cozy and rustic as well! Such a great visit! read more

Coddington's On Meadow - Bacon egg and cheese with home fries - A bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese, topped with seasoning, is served alongside a portion of home fries and ketchup on a white plate. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

Delicious breakfast! Beautifully arranged on a crisp, clean plate. The waitress returned frequently to ask about refilling hot coffees or teas. The place was fresh, bright, clean and pleasant to spend the morning in. Will be back, for sure!! read more

This place can only make what they know and what they're used too. I asked for a simple grilled cheese with bacon tomato and spinach. The sandwich was moist and overfilled with previously frozen spinach. Totally gross and their lack of improvised cooking showed. I haven't been back and don't plan too. :) read more

This was just what we were looking for as a breakfast place. Small town breakfast place, great service, tasty food and smiles everywhere. Just remember to bring cash as they don't accept cards. Would love to come back! read more

The last time I went to Coddington's for breakfast it took 30 minutes and the toast was burned, the cold butter glopped on it, the eggs were over cooked and rubbery and they forgot the bacon. They said they were "sorry" but they had a huge take out order and forgot about my breakfast. I used to love breakfast here and they did it so well. The last two times were a disaster though and they don't seem to get it right any more. Very sad. Pete S read more

Food is always fresh & cooked 2 order, the service is warm & friendly, small town feeling, everyone greeted upon entering, seat yourself, prompt attention. It's truly a wonderful place for breakfast & brunch. The Pastrami is great. The Hop Brook Pastrami plate Always pleases, me. :() read more

Please note this is a cash only place with no ATM on premises! Great food and kind waitresses. They take great care of the place. I recommend the blueberry pancakes. read more

Never a bad breakfast. GF bread and great sandwiches. The staff has been there forever and the place is full of regulars making it a great atmosphere to be in. It's a Naugy home town place! read more

"Country Comfort" Our first time at Coddington's and we liked it. Nice country style diner with a few regulars that enjoyed chatting with the owner and staff. Our waitress was new and a little nervous but she did good while taking care of us. My wife had a sausage, tomato, and cheese omelette with home fries and rye toast. I had the spanish omelette. Peppers, onions, and salsa omelette with home fries and rye toast. It seemed to take more time than expected to prepare our breakfast. But once we tasted it we understood why. She obviously takes much care in preparing each dish because our breakfast was well seasoned and very tasty. Most places never cook the home fries enough. Coddington's are perfect. We were seated across from the cash register. As we were eating, I noticed the painting on the wall below the register. I got a kick out of it. It's a painting of two stools at the counter. But they also painted a dollar bill and a set of keys on the floor as if someone dropped them. They obviouly have a sense of humor at the restaurant. We'll be back soon. read more

Coddington's On Meadow - Coddington's Sausage, tomato, and cheese omelette with home fries and rye toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

Coddington's lunch is really good. I love their turkey trot sandwich especially around thanksgiving time. The place has a very homely feeling and always on the quiet side. Hours could be better considering it closes pretty early. Their website says they close at 3 but I walked in at 1:50 one day and they told me they close at 2. They should update their website. Anyways, it's a great place to grab a filling lunch if you're on the go or by yourself. read more

So a year later I've revisited Coddington's On Meadow and I have to say I was very disappointed in the service. One server in particular seemed very rude. When our server forgot to give us straws for our drink we asked the over server and she grabbed a straw and threw it down on our table. The food seems to have lost its special quality too. Unfortunately I'm going to have to find a different place for me and my family to eat. read more

Coding tone has been amazing FOR YEARS! I love the staff and the family feel of the little place. Clean tables, floors, and bathrooms! They don't have eggs Benedict BUT their breakfast egg meals and pancakes are still good food for the soul!! read more

Best breakfast & lunch in town! The food is amazing the price is very reasonable and the portions are big! This place is my go to for breakfast or lunch my family can eat at this place everyday if we could. The lady who cooks the food is very nice and she cooks it exactly the way you want it. Also the woman waitress is so nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend for breakfast and lunch! read more

Naugatuck is a land of wonder and mystery: something about Naugatuck says Americana (the part of Naugatuck without the heroin and meth problems). Coddington's represents that whimsical and wonderful quality. Coddington's is a luncheonette on Meadow Street in this sleepy town, directly across from the green. A few years ago, I had the good fortune of living nearby, and it was a Sunday tradition to cross the street to visit this place. It is small, with only a smattering of tables and some stools surrounding an open fully-visable kitchen. Watching the cooks is refreshing, though you will probably gather, as I did, that this business buys most of their supplies from the local Costco. The service is friendly and quick, the pancakes are huge, and the coffee is strong and bottomless. I can't recommend more than the Omelets, pancakes, egg platters and potatoes, because that is all I ever had. But if you live in the area and want an enjoyable Sunday breakfast, stop by. While you are there, look across the street where wiffle ball history was made all those years ago when I called Naugatuck home. read more

The only breakfast restaurant in the valley. Have been looking for 34 years and finally found it. Exceptional portions very reasonable price exceptional service. The hidden diamond in the Valley for the breakfast industry. Defiantly worth the visit. Keep in mind they don't accept Credit Cards or Debit cards. read more

The only good thing about this place is that they served us breakfast after they stop serving breakfast. It was freezing in there, table was not cleaned, the coffee was luke warm, no music. And the food, it looked like I could have just gone in the kitchen and cooked it myself. Nothing special about this place at all especially when they start cleaning the kitchen with bleach, which is great that they sanitize but not while I'm eating. My food tasted like straight up bleach from just smelling it. read more

The BEST place for breakfast!!! Try the western omelette with american cheese...they sauté the peppers (green and red!!) so the flavor is incredible! Great service too--we didn't realize they close at noon on Saturdays and we strolled in but they made us a fantastic breakfast anyways! Give this Naugy gem a try!! read more

Wonderfully cute little local place that has limited hours. Their breakfast always delivers and they are very friendly. It's the type of place where people fill their own coffee cups. Definately worth stopping by when in Naug. read more

Quaint breakfast spot, very townie. I ordered an eggwhite omelet ( which costs an extra $1) with cheese and mushrooms. It came with homefries and choice of toast. The homefries were too crispy for my boyfriend but I enjoyed them. They are real potatoes. The coffee is bottomless but a woman in her 40's working the grill was audibly angry when we told our server we wanted more coffee and then proceeded to only have 2 more cups.... She was irked since it was the end of their shift and they brewed a whole pot for us ( we were the last people in the place.) Our servers were embarassed that she was yelling at us, but we good humoredly stayed later and drank more and took 2 cups to go. My bf had chocolate chip pancakes and we were disapointed that the chips had a slightly burnt quality to them. They should have sprinked them on the top and not flipped them. We will be back to try the corned beef hash in the future and see what colorful characters are working. FYI: THEY ONLY TAKE CASH or CHECK read more

First time here, place was moderately busy for 8am on a Sunday. So no problem getting a booth, but was unsure how the food was going to be (because when you hear the sounds of a microwave dinging, you have to wonder). But everything turned out to be good & tasty. We both had omelets -- mine, mushroom & cheese, my fiancee's was bacon, tomato & cheese. For 20 bucks, a decent breakfast. read more

Faster to buy a chicken and wait for the chicken to lay the eggs The system to run the place consists of one person on the grill cooking one order at a time . 45 minutes to get our food The waitress told people as they walked through the door 30 to 40 minutes as if she wanted them to leave! Food is good! read more

great bfast or lunch spot. I understand why they close so early, but it is frustrating when i get out of work after 2 pm and am craving a pastrami sandwich! Clean, quaint, and generous parking. Deff a must try. The Reuben is my absolute favorite! read more

Stopped in for breakfast and we were very happy we did. Food was good as well as the staff.

My wife and I tried this place for breakfast this morning. Had two couples come in after us , and another couple came in after we ordered. While waiting for our breakfast, we watched as the grill cook was on her cell phone for a solid 7-8 minutes. Moving the phone from hand to hand while handling food (no gloves), we thought - probably not a good idea. We waited 15 minutes after we ordered and everyone else had their food .. we were still waiting. Either the others were regulars or the cook wasn't paying attention .. either way .. at this point we got up, I paid for the coffee we drank and we left. FIRST TIME THERE - LAST TIME THERE. P.S. : Never tasted the food, but that may be a blessing in disguise. read more

If you want breakfast at 9am get there at 8am. Two eggs and some microwaved bacon took nearly an hour. I gave them a few chances. Never again. Rude and slow! Grandpas is my new spot. read more

Great breakfast! All of the ladies who work there do a great job! Stop in for some fluffy and delicious pancakes! They are so delicious! read more

Good food for a diner. Too bad they don't care about their customers. I used to work for a certain town municipality and on one occasion while working we were extra busy, so, I prepaid for my meal. Ended up having to go out and take care of a few things, when we came back they had our food waiting on the counter and proceeded to throw it away in front of us telling us it was "probably bad by now". They offered us a cup of coffee as a consolation. These people aren't team players. read more

We all love the friendly service From Kelly and the girls! Great food to boot and those fresh NY hard rolls and Awesome Rye bread !! A favorite! Paul Ayoub Danbury read more

Ahhhh Coddingtons on Meadow.....such a nice discovery. My boyfriend lives in Naugatuck, and has driven past this place almost every day for the past 5 years or so. But he never went there until I came around, about a year ago. I have only been here for breakfast, and I am a HUGE fan of their ham, egg and cheese on a hard roll. We often call for takeout. They put the ham and the rolls on the griddle, so everything is crispy and hot and melty....Yummy! They also have really good corned beef hash. A great place to go for a weekend breakfast. read more

I love Coddington's. They're only about 1/4 mile from my house and they are a normal weekend visit for my girlfriend and I. The owner is on the grill and always very friendly, as is the rest of the staff. We usually call ahead and then take it home as the interior is pretty small and they tend to get packed, so going home is just easier, but the food is good and you get decent sized portions. Try the cornbeef hash, it's WONDERFUL!! read more

It's close by and the food is good. Covers all the basics but tops it off with very friendly service. Nice in town neighborhood place with quite a following. read more

I used to work in the area and few coworkers would order from here for lunch. Everyone raved about the hot pastrami sandwich. So I gave it a shot ... and it was AMAZING! The pastrami was loaded on rye bread with cooked onions, Swiss, and mustard. Simple and satisfying! It's a little greasy but what good sandwich isn't?! I love their cole slaw too. Even though I no longer work in that area I still drive to that town every now and then just for the sandwich. read more

The food is excellent, the service is friendly and the establishment is clean. There's a comfort as if you were home when you're having breakfast or lunch there. My wife and I have always enjoyed going there. read more

Good, cute and nice staff.. Wanted to give heads up too cause I was caught off guard ...Cash only

A cute small diner with a good amount of parking spaces. Inside it's a little loud and crowded,but that's what I expect out of a diner. The waitress was extremely friendly, however, it took 40+ minutes to get our food. Not sure if this was a 1 time thing, so I plan on giving it another chance because the food was delicious and well priced! read more

This off-the-beaten path establishment succeeds on atmosphere. The interior is small and unpretentious, and the kitchen is in full sight of the customers, allowing guests to observe the food-preparation process. This restaurant offers largely home-style fare, ranging from sandwiches, salads, soups, and breakfast items. Additionally, rotating daily specials complement the existing menu. A good selection of their items is made on the premises. The prices are reasonable and the portions decent-sized. A good, non-chain (people should avoid chain restaurants, anyway) option within the Naugatuck area. read more
