Menu - Lunch
Pat S.

What a great local spot! We were greeted warmly and seated quickly. Our server came to the table right away to take our drink orders -- hot coffee, of course. Our food order was taken promptly, and it didn't take long at all before it arrived from the kitchen. The servers checked in often to see if we needed coffee refills, which is a huge plus in my book. The food was excellent, and the French toast was phenomenal. We'll definitely be back! Also they do take credit cards. I didn't see anyone state that in previous posts

This is a great option on a Sunday when every other diner seems to close at 1pm?? This diner closes at 3pm snd serves breakfast and lunch. The food was delicious and even though it was cold out the atmosphere was warm.

Amazing staff, food and ambiance. Ashley (our wonderful waitress) was excellent. I recommend Maria's Diner in Tolland CT to anyone passing by or if you're looking for great food at very reasonable prices. It's definitely worth the drive if you're an out of towner like me.

So decided to give another go to some places that need another try. The space inside is decorated well, it's very homey and plenty of tables. The server was very nice and had recommendations when asked. I opted for the raspberry beignets and the bananas foster French toast. Food came out quickly, and I took my pics and dug in. The raspberry beignets were pretty much donut holes covered in raspberry and vanilla sauce. The raspberry filling was there, but wasn't very pronounced. For 3 bucks a beignets, it's very expensive. But it was sweet enough and fried fresh. The observant will note that the French toast looks a lot like pancakes. They specify on the menu that you can choose either, but either I was never asked which I wanted or I failed to advocate for my preference. I decided to roll with it, since it could be a mistake from either end. Pancake batter was overworked, bananas were slightly warmed up but done so on the griddle. Picked up the onion funk from their home fries, leading to a rather unpleasant bite. Quality issues can be overlooked if the price is reasonable. For 28 dollars for two dishes, the price is way too high for what I got. As a local breakfast spot, there's not many around that area. If you need breakfast and are unwilling to drive another 5-10 minutes for other options, the food is okay and portions are reasonable. It's pricy, stick to the savory, and don't expect more than the basics.

Tried again, good basic diner fare…read more On my re-trek of breakfast spots, decided to give this place another try as it's outside my normal travel zone and the previous experience was lacking. Inside is nice, homey and marches the vibe of a classy New England breakfast dining space. Server was manning the counter and was attentive and helpful. Menu took pride in its Benedict's, and I saw they did a biscuit and gravy. So I opted for their biscuit Benedict to see how that fared. With a side of corned beef hash. Food came out quickly, took pics and dug in. The Benedict was an assembly line Bennie. Biscuits were freshly made in house but salty, eggs perfectly poached and hollandaise was savory. Sausage was a generic sausage patty, and hash browns were delightfully crispy potato pieces. The corned beef hash was cooked well, loaded with lots of meat and very little potato. Which was good, cause the potato was undercooked. I was also overcharged for the corned beef hash, charged the full price when it should've been the add on price. Was 5 bucks additional, but still not cool. As a diner, it checks all the boxes. Good cheap food done well enough. It's nothing to call home about, but a place to go if you're in UConn and have the family visiting.

Great, family run business who gives back to their community. Josh the owner is just a great human…read more We love to support local whenever we can. Items can be pricey, but you get what you pay for. Some of my favorites: oatmeal bread, blueberry pancake cupcakes, strawberry rolls, early riser rolls - to name a few. We also love their apple crumble pie, their pepperoni picnic bread, and their sugar cookie pie around the holidays! For me the coffee is hit or miss - sometimes it's amazing other times I don't love it ... maybe have to do with the syrups I choose to be honest. They currently have a bakery location in Ellington and an additional drive thru location down the road in Ellington, a location in Stafford, and will be opening in Hartford in 2026. You can also find them at the outdoor Ellington farmers markets on Saturdays. Highly recommend checking them out. Their staff are all beyond pleasant as well. Their locations or warm and inviting and they pay attention to detail.

Still pricy, still tasty…read more Gone a few more times over the year or so. It's a good bakery, stuff is always fresh and the flavors in each of their cupcakes, muffins, breads, and other misc bakery items is present and forward. They know that they are good, and charge accordingly. Given that there's no direct competition in a 10 mile radius (and I would argue even past that 10 mile radius the pickings are slim) the price is justifiable for the quality you get. As someone who treks a lot around the state, I find that there are many bakeries that do similar if not better items for comparable if not lower prices. But to ask someone to drive 30-60 minutes just to get something a couple bucks cheaper that's tastes about the same? It's a hard sale. I will say that Luanne's is the best in that area of the state, not including the small boutique places that are well off the beaten path. I still come here for the view and ambiance, but I don't order much of their food.

It's okay but pricy…read more I've been to this location a few more times since my last review. The last couple of times the place was very busy and getting seating was not possible. During my last visit it was relatively quiet, so I took a seat and went through the menu. My server was very friendly and professional. I took her recommendations and got the churro crepes and peppermint latte. Latte came out quick, same with the crepe. The latte was very sweet, lots of sugar and mint. Coffee flavor was obliterated, and was a bit much for me. Informed my server, offered a drip coffee as a replacement but I opted against. The crepe was going to be a lot of sugar too, so just sent it back. She communicated with her team to watch the syrup pours for future drinks, which is a good proactive move. The churro crepes. Conceptually is a good idea. The cheesecake filling was tasty and a reprieve from the avalanche of caramel syrup and sugar. The churros were warmed up but the server was very honest that they were not made on the spot. Outside of the churro was crunchy and inside was stuffed. The crepe was not warm, so I don't think it was made fresh to order either. When I asked the server, she insisted it was made to order. The price was 21 for the latte and crepe. The price of the crepe was high for the quantity and quality. The latte was reasonable for price, but might want to ask to go light on the syrup. Given the location, it's one of the few breakfast spots around that area. It's not bad, but they do price accordingly for the lack of competition. It's not a trek place, but it's one of the few options around without driving 15 minutes. If you need breakfast in that area, then it works.

First time here. Overall loved it there. The inside is comfy and not loud. We were seated right…read moreaway. When you walk in, you are greeted by not only the staff but a bakery window of delicious looking desserts. The food was delicious. I had the Strawberry Ricotta French Toast and my friend had the Irish Benedict. The staff were super friendly. We plan to try their after hours menu soon.

There are plenty of cozy places to sit both inside and outside, and today they even had a musician performing on the patio, which made for such a relaxing atmosphere. We ordered breakfast and iced coffee from the café. The Brown Sugar Maple Croissant Breakfast Sandwich was absolutely delicious! Even though the café was very busy, the ordering line moved quickly, and they brought our drinks and food right to our table--a really nice touch. We also stopped by the bakery. Even later in the morning, there was still a great selection of baked goods. We brought home strawberry lemonade muffins to enjoy tomorrow, and I can't wait to try them. The general store was filled with adorable locally made products, along with a nice selection of take-and-bake meals that we'll definitely be coming back for. The entire property is thoughtfully designed with charming little seating areas scattered throughout. It's the kind of place where you want to slow down, relax, and spend a while exploring. One tip: the front parking lots are small, but there's a much larger parking area in the back. This is definitely a new favorite for us, and we'll be back again soon!

If your not local I suggest you sit at the bar and try the local soda with all kinds of flavors that range from pineapple to strawberry or grape and of course you can't go wrong with trying the local cola. During my time in Connecticut I visited Papa T's twice. The first time I had the broccoli cheddar soup of the day and a side of one meatball. Hands down the best broccoli soup I've ever had and can't forget to mention that it's huge and filling on its own. The meatballs are as home made as it gets. In fact they reminded me of the Catbone meatballs except these have a $3 price tag and are bigger and yummier. The second time around I knew I could only order one thing because it was going to be a lot of food no matter what so I decided to try the chicken parmigiana with grape soda. Once again, best chicken parmigiana I've ever had in my life. I think you can go wrong with ordering anything at this restaurant - including a slice of Pixar that looks like half a pie!
