We had been curious about this place for a while but after ordering to go last night, we weren't…read morevery impressed. The Mac and cheese was like stick to your mouth goey, like velveeta type. The beef burnt tips had no flavor and even though the menu mentioned California bbq sauce, they put none on the plate. I did like the size of the country fried chicken and that the gravy was meaty but it still lacked a bit of flavor. The only item I was happy with were the collards. They were spicy and vinegary, different than what I'm used to but in a good way. We spent about $45 for two entrees and a side of onion rings, but again, just didn't hit.

There is seating outside. Both indoor and outdoor spaces are very neat, clean and well-maintained. The food was good and servings plentiful. You can add basic toppings inside. These include a house made relish, or there are options for chili and cheese. The service is friendly. You'll wait a little for your food since everything is made to order. I'm fine with that! This is a great alternative to the usual burger joints or if you don't feel like firing up the grill.

Paul, our waiter extraordinaire, couldn't have been more pleasant and engaging. The fresh bread was fantastic. I had the Irish beef soup and was amazed. It was perfect and I grew up having a lot of that from an Irish Grandmother who was an exceptional cook. I thought i might need more so I ordered the chicken pot pie. That was scrumptious but half came home with me. My friend got the buffalo chicken salad. Fresh vegetables with a nicely flavored chicken. We split one of the carrot cupcake with is delightful cream cheese frosting. We were pleasantly surprised when the halves were served on two plates, well just see the pictures below . If you are in the Hamden area, I strongly suggest you stop in for a bite and/ or order your dinner to go! If you're lucky, Paul will be your wait staff!

We stopped into Colony on Friday morning for breakfast. There were a few people seated and they…read morewere doing a good amount of take out orders. The service was friendly and knowledgeable, and the diner gives a classic diner feel. There's plenty of food options for all times of the day, but it was breakfast time, so we ordered breakfast. Almost everything can be made gluten free, which is great. My husband ordered the Irish Benedict which was corned beef hash with eggs and hollandaise on toast with potatoes. I had an egg sandwich with bacon. It's classic diner fare. Large portions, and tasty food. Unfortunately, the issue comes at the price point. For standard diner fare, most breakfast items are $19. Plus a $2 up charge for gluten free. Our breakfast with coffee and a juice came out to $50 with tip. Seems a little steep for what we got. If you want standard diner food at a premium, colony diner is great!
