    Here's a gross empty plate because I was starving and forgot to take a photo.

    I grew up in Bristol many, many years ago and found myself back in the area to visit my parents. Now, it's been a long time since I've been on route 6 and thanks to nothing else in Bristol actually being open at 6am, I was able to try Good Friends! This place is located right across the street from the plaza I used to visit for Blockbuster, Strawberry's, and GameStop so I was pretty happy to finally go inside the place that used to be a bar with a horse logo. I entered a little after six and the place was absolutely empty. The women working the front was very friendly and had us seated with menus immediately. The menu here offers a large amount of breakfast and lunch options that were exactly what I was looking for. I ended up ordering one of my personal favourites, chicken fried state with some scrambled eggs, hash browns, and toast. The food was ordered and served super quickly and as you can see from the picture.....it disappeared pretty quickly as well. I really liked the chicken fried steak, the breading was delicious and really hit the spot. The scrambled eggs and the hash browns did the job as well, being cooked jus right and served hot. Overall, Good Friends was a top notch breakfast joint that I will absolutely be hitting up the next time I find myself in Connecticut. The small town charm, quality food, and friendly service are really all I could of asked for. Come check this place out for yourself, it's a fantastic place.

    Absolutely love their breakfast sandwiches. Big link sausages, nicely made egg, and my favorite part the meltyyyy cheese. So good! Minus one star only because their home fries weren't anything special, not much flavor, and a bit soggy but may have just been because I ordered it as take out. The staff is pretty friendly too so no complaints there.

    I've heard lots of great things about this place. Today while my husband and I were trying to figure out where we wanted our breakfast date to be I remembered Good Friends. I'm so happy we decided to try them-the food was delicious, I ordered eggs, bacon, home fries and toast. The portions were huge, I got 5 pieces of thick cut bacon-and I'm not talking about that fake thin bacon, I mean thick cut, fresh cooked bacon. My husband ordered corned beef and eggs and it was amazing! I wish I took a picture of his, but he cut into it and started devouring it before I could. The owner and her daughter were waiting on everyone, they came over several times to make sure everything was good. They were friendly and eager to be sure we were happy. Prices were great-$17 for both of us. Will definitely be back. Update-So, we've been back a bunch of times since my original review. Food is still great, they have a $4.99 breakfast special now (2 eggs, home fries, toast and coffee) that is worth every penny. Planning on going again next week!

    Cute diner decor the owners put up to personalize the sadly dated space.

    I just slapped myself because WHAT ON EARTH HAVE I BEEN STALLING ON THIS PLACE FOR?!?!?! Right after their opening, a friend of mine (whose opinion I really respect) said the place was a nightmare. It was loud and slow and too hot and not a good experience. Well, it has been about a year since their opening and I figured they must have worked out their kinks by now, and if not, then it's somewhere I'd just never go again... Well, no need to worry here because THIS. PLACE. ROCKS! I wish more people knew about this gem because this place was empty for the majority of our visit. Our waitress was extremely polite and quick. Our first cups of coffee came out quick, but unfortunately were burnt. I would have definitely been okay with waiting 5 minutes for a fresh cup. It was a hard drink for sure. But that's nothing, really. The food is just so cheap and good! We got a plate of eggs, homefries, toast (coffee included), a breakfast sandwich loaded with bacon, a second coffee, and a Belgian waffle with strawberries and bananas for under $20! I was very pleased with the food. The home fries were so perfectly crispy. The best in town! I totally recommend this place to everyone who wants a filling, quality, diner breakfast. My only big recommendations are for them to put on some tv or music, make sure every patron gets a fresh first cup of coffee, and serve maple syrup hot in a pourable tin or at least a plastic bottle instead of to go syrup packets. No one likes pre-portioned syrup for a giant Belgian waffle LOL

    Pea soup,  this is the real deal,  you can see the meat they used. Homemade very good.

    Stopped by Saturday night, they were moderately busy, it's a small place. Dinner was delicious, we'll be back.

    Bell city dinner is my favourite brunch spot I just love coming here ! They have so many fun…read moreoptions to try from massive milkshakes to glittery mimosas/ margaritas to instagram worthy food options , but also having options for a simple scrambled eggs and bacon ! This time I tried the new seasonal special apple crisp cheesecake French toast ! Yes that's a mouthful to say but it was sooo good if you have a huge sweet tooth like me it was amazing !!! A must try ! Service is always good we have always been able to get a seat and the staff always super friendly . Great service , They got us seated , ordered , served and out the door in about an 1hour . Overall 5/5 again great food , great service and great ambiance the whole place is always decorated and I loved the added lights over the ceiling !

    So this unassuming looking diner hides a surprise. It's not what you think of as a typical diner…read more Cool metallic tiles, curved walls, cool art and chandeliers kick this up from diner decor to much cooler. The service was great our server couldn't have been nicer and came around just enough. We ordered our food with the thought to get one of their signature adult drinks or milkshakes - think fun, over the top drinks but..... we were too full from the delicious food. Going to go back again soooon to try a milkshake! Check them out. Will def be back!

    Yelp is asking me to answer the question - What went well ?…read more Is this place a secret gem? I'm not sure but we are so happy we found this place. I feel the need to leave this review here now just in case I forget to leave a actual proper long review. This is our third time, a humble looking joint so we come here always just expecting it's going to be " meh". But we keep coming back, collecting calories around our waist because everything is so good here! Service - always awesome. Everyone here looks like they work cohesively, everyone is smiling working hard . Coffees always refilled. Food- fantastic, always fresh, on point. This time I got an omelette with tomatoes and this is the first time I had an omelet where the tomatoes don't get mushy. Their hash browns are also amazing! ... while we like the shredded we LOVE the fried- like mini French fries. While all of their proteins are awesome - their turkey bacon deserves a special shout out because it often misses the mark at most places.. but not here . And then there are the little things - clean bathrooms, condiments on the table are clean and not sticky or gross !! Anyway, come here.

    Visited Parkside Cafe with a friend and ordered the cannoli crepes and honey mustard chicken wrap…read more Both were AMAZING! The cannoli crepes were the highlight. The filling was rich, creamy, and perfectly sweet, wrapped in a flawlessly cooked crepe. The honey mustard chicken wrap was just as impressive.. fresh, flavorful, and well-made. Highly recommend!!

The booth and ambiance were nothing special, but we were given a plate full of apple slices that were sprinkled in cinnamon sugar (which was a nice touch), our waitress was fun and attentive and the food was very good. The menu offerings for breakfast were pretty basic and standard.. you won't find 6 kinds of pancakes or stuffed French toast here, but it's pretty clear that they have perfected their over-easy and other egg game. Hash browns can be the shredded, cubed or tater tot varieties and delicious. The gluten free bread the have was the best I've had (nice job!). Three of us had mimosas and they were delicious. Based on the number of diners waiting to get seated and the high quality of our meals, I'm willing to guess this restaurant is pretty consistent. I would definitely come to Ellie's again. Well done
