After passing over a diner that was way too crowded on a Sunday morning, we decided to try out dish n dat. I don't remember our waiter's name but he was very attentive and sweet. My son was disappointed that he couldn't order lunch yet (he planned on a burger at the diner), and wasn't crazy about the omelette he chose. However my mcDish sandwich was amazing. Probably would stop my heart if I ate these everyday but how perfect is a hash brown ON an egg and cheese biscuit?? So good. read more

Dish n' Dat - Country "mcDish" breakfast sandwich - American Near Me - Canton, Connecticut

A good place to grab a bite with a group or by yourself after some shopping! I love the steak & cheese here, it's always good and the rolls are always fresh. I tried a grown up milkshake with my steak and cheese this time! YUM, great milkshakes. There is always too much for me to eat, left overs go to the teenagers! In the warmer weather, outside dining is great. Cozy spot, always loved this location when it was a different restaurant read more

I have been here for a few times even back when it was still in the Shops. While I enjoy the selection of food they have I have always been left wanting more. Last time I had gone was two friends and we all were able to order something different which was nice. My food was fine up until finding a hair in my burger. The waitress was understanding and offered to have the kitchen make me a new burger to take home with me and comped the meal. Overall, I would probably choose to go to another establishment if given the option. read more

Dish N' Dat is such a friendly and welcoming place, regulars are treated like family and there is a real community here. Every Christmas the owner organizes a huge event where people in need can come to get meals, toys for kids, bags of groceries and more - the staff and regular customers all volunteer and contribute. They helped over 500 people this year. You can get almost anything you want to eat, the menu is varied with rotating specials and soups. Lots of great comfort food, with all day breakfast as well. read more

Retro style diner dining.... with EVERYTHING on the menu. Great service!!! Full Bar!!! Lunch items are better than the breakfast items at this visit. Breakfast meat lovers omelet was large with bland large chunks of meat, seemed to be thrown in from leftovers meals. I don't recommend this dish. Burger on the other hand was tender and flavorful fries were just basic frozen potatoes fries up. The menus is so large they are plenty of options for a second try when in the area. It definitely peaks curiosity. read more

This place is phenomenal. The theme is great, it is new and fresh, for being a 50's diner style with a bar. Ill get to the food in a moment, but the staff, were phenomenal, our server was just the perfect combination of attentiveness as a waitress and humor as a person, and that tickled me greatly. Had the brussel sprouts appetizer. Whoever said brussels were disgusting to you as a child, it must be an adult secret because these were epically good. Side of wings. Unusual for me to see them not tossed in sauce, but they were crispy and fine. I had the french onion soup. Its exactly as you'd imagine and that's exactly what i wanted. Had the hangover burger. Burger with bacon, avocado, hash brown, and sunny side egg. Just extremely well made, concept, cook, and execution. If i had room for dessert id go for the waffle special they had but i couldnt. They have a large menu, and there is absolutely more to explore. I even wrote AWESOME on the receipt. Just had a memorably great time here. read more

Great place, been 5+ times by now. The rotating specials are great, got steak and eggs today. Mushrooms and caramelized onions were on point! Got the torpedos too, which were pancakes wrapped around breakfast sausage, deep fried, served with syrup. How could you go wrong? Busier than usual today, so service a bit slow, but usually they are very attentive. Coffee cup stays filled. Kid friendly, crayons available, round corner booths are great. Definitely recommend! Now I just need to try them for lunch! read more

Dish n' Dat - American Near Me - Canton, Connecticut

Dish n' Dat is as close to a diner as we have in the Farmington Valley. Extensive breakfast choices all day? Check. Soups, wings and bar appetizers? Check. Salads, burgers, sandwiches of all descriptions? Check. Grilled Cheeses and Mac and cheeses? Check. Blue Plate Specials of Comfort Food? Check. Ice cream shakes without booze? Check. Ice cream shakes with booze? Check. Mojitos, margaritas, mixed cocktails, marys, wines, sparklers, sangria, beers, and desserts? Check. Tonight we had a turkey club with fries, a bowl of matzoh ball soup, and pulled pork sliders. The club was $13, but it was monstrous with a ton of turkey and avocado slices. The french fries were really stellar- perfectly cooked and crunchily perfect. My sliders ($8) were a bargain. Three good sized sandwiches on a toasted roll with zippy pulled pork and refreshing cole slaw. Very good. I went for the bowl of matzoh ball soup ($6). The good points? It was a generous portion. It was piping hot. It had a lot of chicken. It had a lot of vegetables. It had 2 pretty good matzoh balls The bad? The broth was a major disappointment. Weak, bland, ecch.... Service was pretty good, fast enough coffee refills. We saw a dozen black T-shirted servers buzzing around. Ambience was good- a nice 1950's American Graffiti vibe with 50's rock and 60's soul on the sound system. We saw a lot of families with kids in the dining room. They have a pretty spiffy bar on the right side of the building too. We even found a $5 coupon on-line which reduced our meal from about $31 to $26. Its a pretty sweet place... read more

We haven't been since they moved, but we were so pleased with the food and service! It was difficult to decide on what to eat as the menu had so many original options! read more

Service was slow, was only checked on a few times. I had to flag down the waitress to get a refill. Food came out lukewarm and there was way too much barbecue sauce on the wings. The fries were lukewarm as well. Unless your at the bar, you don't get checked on consistently. I know they were located at the Canton Valley Shops but had to move up the street because they were not getting enough business. The owner of the restaurant is very chatty with the people at the bar. I was really in shock when he stood their and kept talking to the people at the bar and never once went to go and say hi to the people in the back at the tables. It will be awhile and I don't plan on going back. Owner needs to wake up and so does his staff and see how to run an efficient establishment read more

Absolutely fabulous place. You feel like you're home the second you walk in, sitting at a table or at the bar. I sat at the bar and an excellent martini and after that a tuna sandwich with fantastic fries, did I mention fantastic? Friendly staff. Danny is a wonderful host. Oh, And when I pulled in there were three spots reserved for Veteran parking, made my day. read more

Went to this place with a bunch of friends for breakfast, and the food was extraordinary! They were able to accommodate our party of 10 upstairs easily. The server was friendly, helpful and on the ball with the orders. The food was incredible. I got what I call an Irish Benedict because I asked them to substitute the corn beef hash for the ham. The dish was executed perfectly with great flavors. All of us loved the food and would go back in a heartbeat. Enjoy!!! read more

This place is amazing!! Great food. Great atmosphere!! Great service!! We have visited many times and will visit many more!! Weekend breakfast is awesome, and so are the dinner classics. You will happy that you stopped in. read more

We decided to check out the new location for Dish n Dat. We started with fried dill pickles. 6 pickle spears that came with a tasty sweet spicy red chili ranch sauce. The were $8. For my meal I ordered the Famous Hartford Grinder: fried chicken breast, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, garlic parm on grinder roll. It was Very good. My husband had the Smokehouse burger: burger with pepperjack, onion ring, horseradish sauce. He enjoyed it but it could have used some more sauce. He ended up using some of the sauce from the pickles. We both had potato salad as a side. I have to day, they gave Great potato salad! The grinder was $14, the burger $13 read more

$19 for Chicken Gyro upgraded to onion rings. $18 for Specialty Burger upgraded to tater tots. Chicken on the gyro did not have typical spices. Tasted like steamed chicken and bland. Burger and tasters were good but kinda pricey for $18. Service was great. Very attentive. Second time here. Doesn't fit our palate and price point. But I wish them well. read more

When you look at this place from the outside it looks like a 21st century establishment. When you walk in however you are transported to the 70s with all the decor that fit the 70s vibe. We all ordered water with lemon and myself no lemon. They brought out waters served in little mugs of water almost like a Mason jar but with a handle. I will say the only part that was disappointing was the lack of a refill. My daughter ordered mozzarella sticks. And I ordered something called the CaveMan which is a loaded grilled cheese with a juicy burger patty along with caramelized onion and a ton of cheese. Along with that was a tomato bisque which was very tasty but needed some pepper. That sandwich was to DIE for it was so good and when I decided on that I was not sure it would fill me up....however not even thinking about dinner right now. My wife got a spinach salad with a spicy fried shrimp, and it looked like a spicy dressing and lots of very thin sliced fried tortilla strips. I would absolutely go back to this place and best news is they are dog friendly outside on their patio. The pictures posted do not do justice for how wonderful the meals actually were. And the third picture is a 3 pack of spicy tacos. Thus place I can not wait to return!!!!! read more

We always enjoy this place. It's a throwback to 1950's style food. A bit heavy but for a treat every once and a while we feel it's ok. I always get breakfast no matter the time of day because they serve breakfast all day. I usually get their french toast. It's the best by me, never soggy, browned just perfect and 3 large pieces of toast. My husband likes the meatloaf, grilled cheese and of course their desserts (very good size portions). I subtracted one star because the food is heavy old-fashioned food your grandma served. Some who like to eat lighter, low-fat meals may not appreciate their food. The staff is helpful and friendly. read more

I was a little skeptical to come here for breakfast because I've been for dinner and it wasn't that great. However I was pleasantly surprised with their menu options and how my meal came out. I got a pancake with chocolate chips and banana inside. It was good, although the edges of mine were a little raw still. Didn't bother me I just ate around it. I also had eggs with home fries and an English muffin. Everything was good. A very average breakfast. Prices weren't horrendous either. I think I paid 7 bucks for my plate of eggs and whatnot. My pancake was only a couple bucks but they did charge me two dollars to add in the chips and banana slices. Our waitress was very nice and friendly as was the other staff members who interacted with us. I like the atmosphere of the places it's like an old fashion diner. I definitely want to come back and try some of their other options! read more

My fiancé and I loved the old Dish n' Dat and we're hoping the new location would bring the same great service and food, unfortunately that was not the case. My fiancé ordered the chicken tenders with Korean sweet red chili for $8. 3 tenders came out that were over fried. I ordered the Mac n Rib melt which should have come with aged cheddar, Mac and cheese, BBQ pulled pork in Texas toast. It was basically Mac and cheese on toast. There was no BBQ pulled pork. We also ordered the South of the border Mac and cheese which came out and was just ground beef and Mac and cheese. Again, there was only a small amount of ground beef and didn't have any of the other topics advertised including tortilla chips and pico de Gallo and taco seasoning. We let the server know and she brought out a side of pulled pork for my sandwich but at that time I had already eaten half my sandwich. They also only gave us tortilla strips for the Mac and cheese. This menu is extensive and I'm sure there are great dishes but these two are ones I'd stay away from. Clearly they skimp on the meat. A waitress was also vacuuming the dining room while we were seated. It was 2PM. read more

What a wonderful experience we had for lunch today. The owner Dan was so personable and has a great appreciation for his customers. From the minute we pulled in and saw veteran parking we just knew this was a nice place. When we came in and met our waitress Jess we knew this was our new spot. Jess was the best waitress with a great attitude and definitely fit in with our family. THE FOOD!! Omg we tried so many different items on the menu and nothing disappointed us. From the crab rangoons to the blt sandwich, the burger, chicken sandwich. Everything was so tasty. Lastly you HAVE to try the carrot cake! First time here and it is most definitely not my last! read more

Loved it! Started with pork belly bites as appetizer and liked them so much i got the pork belly tacos as main dish. Wife took the pulled pork mac n cheese. We were delighted by both dishes and liked the place enough to bring our car club here for our next road tour. Service were friendly and food looked great too. read more

We went last night for Sunday night dinner, and we had the best time! The atmosphere is fun, of course, but the staff were friendly, and there were clearly regulars there as well. The service was fantastic, and the food super yummy. We ordered the "Famous" Fried Mac and Cheese bites - delicious! The portions are significant, but we're excited to eat the leftovers for lunch. Sadly, we were way too full for dessert, but the milkshakes (regular and adult) were really tempting! We will definitely return, if only just for the milkshakes! read more

Crazy how good this place is and not talked about. Love the sock hop diner scene, everyone is always so nice when we walk in, and the menu is RIDICULOUSLY good. Def wear "stretchy pants" cause portions are big and tasty. Also had no clue there's 24 breakfast. Love this spot read more

This is a place I want desperately to be good but it just disappoints every time. They charge NYC prices for at best, average food.

Some very unique things on the menu, I had the knish pastrami Rueben and my kid had a Fluffer Nutter, everything was good, service was prompt. Can't wait to check it out for breakfast. read more

VERY disrespectful to families. Look at the MULTIPLE reviews. Not kid friends. Absolutely disgusting. Dirty tables. Disrespectful employees. They lost out on over $150 worth of food because of the absolute disrespect they caused my family. Food is terrible. Wasn't going to even post a bad review until I saw other families get treated so poorly. Go out of business DUDE. No ethics, poor service, the host is as poorly dressed not well put together and very rude. Get some class girl. Do not go to this restaurant. Probably not up to code. Someone call OSHA!!!! read more

My family and I were regular customers at this restaurant, as we enjoyed their food and their desserts. Unfortunately, due to a disrespectful interaction, I had with the owner of the business, Dan, I will never set foot into this restaurant again!! I purchased a family-size carrot cake for the Thanksgiving holiday last year. When I contacted Dan to discuss my concern regarding the smaller size cake that I received for this holiday, in comparison to past years; which I paid less for, he became incensed. His response to me was, "Come get your $20 and take your business someplace else." I strongly believe that he would have never made such a comment to a white customer. Brown people beware, your money is accepted here, but your skin color is not! read more

After a day of driving, getting stuck in traffic, taking back roads through the countryside to escape the traffic and a little more driving, I wound up in Canton and decided to give dish n dat a try. I'm glad I did. As soon as I walk in I was greeted enthusiastically. However, it wasn't an employee who greeted me. Rather it was a guy at the bar. He was in love with the fact that I was wearing a kilt and matching socks. He was so friendly and talkative, I could barely read the menu, which was expansive and could rival the cheesecake factory's menu for sheer volume of the items offered. After the guy stopped talking to me i ordered a burger and a white sangria. The burger arrived shortly later and I could really taste the meat. The flavor was accentuated by horseradish. I had potato salad on the side and it was average. My sangria had too much peach schnapps and too little white wine. After the meal and sangria, I ordered a shot of vodka that had been infused (on site) with pineapple it was refreshing, but if had been infused with rum, it would have been that much better. The service was good, as was the food and they old guy who liked my kilt was a pleasant surprise. I'd go back. read more

Stopped in for lunch. My wife and I both had salads. Both the salads and the added chicken portions were quite small compared to similar meals we've had at higher end restaurants in the Valley. The prices were higher than most of the comparable meals. read more

The only reason this is getting one star is because the brussel sprouts and lobster roll were delicious. Unfortunately, my husband and mother's meals were terrible. We arrived and were seated and asked for our drink orders. Everything was going just fine. We ordered the brussel sprouts and they came quickly. If you are going, do not miss those. Unfortunately, this is where things proceeded down hill. I waited to see the waiter to ask for a refill but she didn't return to our area for quite some time. It wasn't inordinately busy, so I was surprised at how long it took. I requested a refill which happened quickly, but I do remember in my day of waiting tables that I received better tips by keeping drinks full. Now the food arrived. I received my lobster roll, sans roll and fries, as I requested. My husband ordered an open faced roast beef sandwich that had perhaps not even a quarter cup of gravy on it. His mashed potatoes were barely mashed but, hey, let's give it a try. My mother had a Greek salad with no meat. Hers arrived last and was severely lacking in anything but lettuce and onions. As far as Greek salads go, I probably could have had a better one at McDonalds. There was a smattering of feta, and 4 halved cherry tomatoes and 4 pita spears. Otherwise there was nothing else but a bowl full of lettuce. My mother ate what she could but only a rabbit could appreciate the amount of lettuce this salad included. The server came over after what felt like forever and asked if she could pack up my mothers remaining lettuce. She did not mince words and said no, thank you it was awful. The server replied, ok. Literally. Just ok, not what can I do to fix it, can we make you something else...nothing. my coleslaw was more mayo than slaw and remained uneaten, but my lobster was delicious. She cleared my plate and then asked my husband if he was done. He still had a fork and knife in hand and was actively eating. Strange... but ok. He said no. He was still working on it but requested a refill. The roast beef sandwich was terribly dry after my husband finished his quarter cup of gravy on the first side. He requested more gravy which came eventually, but for a southern who is used to this type of sandwich being more wet than the Joshua Tree state park, he was also unimpressed. His potatoes were lacking in any flavor and unfortunately, flavor is something one needs. The server asked if he wanted it boxed up and he also replied "definitely not". The check came with his refill, which we promptly put our card down to pay. My husband finished his food and drink, and we waited.....and waited......and waited. At this point it didn't seem like she would return so we proceeded to the front counter to pay. The Hostess took the bill and was rather terse when replying "I'll give this to your server". Once the server returned the bill extremely fast now, the hostess asked what was wrong. Unfortunately, the tone was not one either my Mother nor I appreciated. My mother gave her feedback on the salad but it was too late to resolve. There had been at least 20 minutes after she cleared when it could have been take care of, but at this point it was paid. $70 dollar for that poor a quality of food, let alone service was wasteful. Don't make the same mistake. I haven't experienced this poor a service since I tried to eat at a Bob Evan's in Virginia that had 3 times the clientele. At least there, when we got up to leave, the manager gave us coupons. Here it seemed our awful meal was our fault. I used to to love this place when I lived in CT 10 years ago...even enjoying a meal here when visiting almost 5 years ago. Unfortunately the quality of the food and the service has degraded immensely since then. Save your money and find something else nearby. You will be better off in the end. read more

Dish n' Dat is basically an overpriced diner. The food was okay, but it was not really worthy of what they were charging. I think it was like $9 for a friggin grilled cheese. Do something different with it for that price! I'll probably return, eventually. Maybe. read more

I would rate this a middle of the road place. Our party had 5 adults and 3 kids. The food is so-so. We had everything from the trash can appetizer (yes, you read that correct) which was a bunch of apps put in a giant mixing bowl together to burgers to lobster rolls. The burger was pretty tasteless and the lobster rolls were filled with small pieces of meat. The kids each wanted a sundae (chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry) but the waitress brought out 2 chocolates and a strawberry. It wasn't that busy as we came in between lunch and dinner. I'm not sure if she was having an off day, but she didn't have much of a personality. read more

Very happy with their COVID accommodations! Staff was super friendly and patient to explain their current set up due to COVID restrictions. I realize I've grown accustomed to crappy service due to COVID and although that's understandable, it seems Dish has their ish down pat!

I ordered a toasted veggie egg white omelette, Mac and cheese bites, and an adult thin mint milkshake for the dessert, Nutella banana stuffed french toast. The egg white omelette was good, I liked the veggies. I had to pay extra for the cheese but I got pepperjack! The home fries were okay, but nothing special. The Mac and cheese bites were good but it was weird they used spirals rather than elbow! The nacho cheese dipping sauce was good but I wish marinara was an option as well. The milk shake was good but very large! It was $10 but no one needs $10 worth of milkshake-- would have been better off with a $5 shake. The Nutella french toast was really good, it tasted like the bananas were caramelized in honey. It looked beautiful. Overall my experience was delicious!! I love the spoon wall decor and seating was spacious. The booth was kind of small but it was only 2 of us-- so it was fine. I can't wait to go back! read more
