** Four stars for outstanding service! ** This little place has a cozy diner-like feel. The staff is friendly & amazing -- especially Nick & Isabel!! Our party of 5 arrived 1/2 hour before they closed, but they welcomed us and didn't make us feel rushed at all. Now that's service! Don't look for fancy fare here, they offer a large variety of basic breakfast and lunch foods. We went because my brother eats the biscuits & sausage gravy there all the time -- they are HUMONGOUS! The split pea soup was really good, as well as the Italian sausage & peppers grinder. One meal arrived a little cold, but other than that, no complaints! read more

We've came around to try this place that people mentioned before and we were not that impressed. It felt like a simple diner. I was not to happy to get almost cold breakfast, the yolk doesn't taste the same, mushy potatoes with no flavor and diner coffee was enough experience , my husband ordered his common breakfast and even he wasn't impressed , but the side of veggies were the king of the table. I give kudos to the waiter because he tried to make it better but it was a busy morning so I didn't want to wait longer than necessary, I have to admit that they know their regular elderly customers that come by for their pancakes, it was cute The bathroom however looked and smelled like it hasn't been cleaned for a while. read more

Burger had 0 taste - bun was cold. Not nearly enough fries and at that, they weren't good fries either #notsalted. Staff is nice. Definitely got a few stares in there. Their stuffed French toast is pretty good though. Very fairly priced (except for the fries). read more

I've been here a few times now with my husband. Every visit our server has been great and our wait has never been too long. Recently, we stopped by for a late breakfast with our 1 year old. I had the Double Play - I enhanced my pancakes with apples, my husband had the Homemade Hash and we ordered a scrambled egg for our baby. My food was good, our baby enjoyed her egg - she loves food in general though - but my husband thought his meal was just okay. He didn't think the hash was actually homemade. We do plan on keeping Mitchell's part of our go-to breakfast spots! read more

Mitchell's On Main - Double Play - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cromwell, Connecticut

A number of people have raved about Mitchell's on Main. I have eaten at a Mitchell's before, but not this one. I have also eaten in the building housing this Mitchell's when it was a different breakfast place. Mitchell's is not fancy and offers reasonably priced breakfast options. We had a short wait for a table for 5 people on a Saturday morning. They managed the line well and service was pretty efficient once we were seated. I ordered a Sausage Egg & Cheese on an everything bagel. It was decent. The sausage was in link form, which is not ideal for a bagel sandwich. The cheese could have been a bit more melted. Nothing really stood out positive or negative otherwise. I also ordered a side of corn beef hash. It was a fairly standard version. It didn't pop for me, but it was fine. My son ordered a chili omelette with cheese and some veggies. He was thrilled with it. I had a couple bites and it was definitely the best thing I tasted that morning. The chili was sweet. Mitchell's is a fair breakfast spot, and when you factor in price, it certainly could be an appealing option for some people. I prefer other breakfast options within my driving radius. 3.5 Stars read more

Still and always will be our favorite local breakfast spot! Great family run restaurant with the best breakfast around. With all the rising food costs, Mitchell's is still affordable for a great meal. Staff is the absolute best and will remember you each time you come in. Great takeout game too if you're in a pinch. An absolute Cromwell staple!! read more

First time visit Quaint little spot Easy to find, easy to see Diner decor Heads up parking is a little tight The variety was just right. I ordered the 2 for breakfast. Pancakes were PERFECT, Turkey sausage very flavorful, Eggs... are eggs. Potatoes were just ok, not a fan of the hash (to be fair, I am a bit of snob when I comes to hash though) Service is great I would definitely come back. Thank you, Julia for making my first visit GREAT. read more

This is a solid breakfast spot. We've only done takeout so far so I can't comment on the sit down service. I like getting our toddler breakfast quesadillas egg and cheese. She likes them a lot. They also have muffins and bagels, but I didn't see them listed on the online menu. I prefer their pancakes over their French toast. I got oatmeal from them and they had quick-melt brown sugar to go with it which was a nice touch. They have parking along the side of the building and there's also a public lot across the side street in case that is full. read more

Came in on a Friday morning for breakfast. This place is so close to my house so it was a super short drive. We came in and we're seated right away and the host grabbed us drinks as soon as we sat down. The waitress Julia was so nice and attentive. She was super sweet, made sure the food was all cooked perfectly, and checked in and filled our coffee regularly. The guy bussing tables was also extremely friendly. Really just an great overall atmosphere in here! We ordered the House Special with corned beef hash instead of the ham. Also the lobster Florentine; both dishes were fantastic. The coffee is also delicious, I love a good cup of diner coffee. You should definitely come check this place out!! read more

Haven't been back here for so long a time and it's just down the street. Had a very early physical exam and needed some morning fortification so ended up here. Very good Breakfast Sandwich of egg and bacon on a hard roll. This was done just right and was just what I needed with lots of crispy bacon. Two cups of good coffee and I was out of there to take on the day. Nice friendly hometown service! read more

A solid three star breakfast spot, prompt service, decent breakfast, great pancakes. The upgrade to real maple syrup is key to enjoying pancakes anywhere really IMO. These pancakes were nice and fluffy and tasty. The eggs were meh, the sausage was decent, the home fries were not good at all. The place was hopping on a weekend and the turnover was hopping as well for tables. We shared a toasted blueberry muffin to start and it was good but nothing spectacular. read more

Our office always orders from Mitchell's it's always fantastic. They have a verity of mixed sandwiches my favorite is turkey with Swiss on a cersont!! They also do a great fruit salad the fruit is always fresh and delicious. This time we also tried something new and ordered beef stroganoff omg delicious it was made with steak that was so tender the sauce was a light mushroom sauce I would definitely recommend. If your looking for a great breakfast lunch spot look no further!! read more

I stopped by this restaurant to pick up breakfast before work. I ordered the House Special and added fried eggs. I was extremely disappointed with my food. The "shredded potato" was exactly that... simply shredded potato- no crisp to it or house flavor. The entire dish was bland! If you are on a low or no sodium diet- this place is probably a good fit for you. Additionally, I have a feeling they do not use pepper or herbal seasoning in their food either. To be clear, the food did not taste BAD, it was just cookie-cutter food. Meals like that make me feel like I should just throw ham, onions, and peppers on the stove, toast some bread, and chop potatoes to save money at home. read more

Food and service amazing! Friendly casual place, relaxing ambiance. When we visit family in CT we almost always go here, it's their favorite and also now ours! My brother had a medical emergency here yesterday, and the owner, serving staff and even patrons were so helpful, and treated us like family. It doesn't get any better than this place. read more

I have grown up with the Mitchell's restaurants. And they are still my favorite place to eat breakfast. Some of the best hometown food with some of the best people. You can't beat their "New Special". Just about a little of everything, eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, pancakes, and toast. Sure to keep you full for the rest of the day. And the home fries are epic. Best anywhere. If to haven't been to one of the Mitchell's locations, you are missing out. read more

Another basic diner, NOTHING wrong with that though! Quick rundown: - Service is super friendly - Prices are very cheap - Food is fairly good - Only open for breakfast and lunch - Tends to be very busy Started off with a 20 minute wait, was seated no issue other than that. Today I had the "New Special" which is 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 pancakes, 2 pieces of toast and potatoes. Everything was pretty good, nothing special but it's breakfast! Diners are meant to just be comfortable like that so like I said there's NOTHING wrong with being basic especially if it's a diner. BUT I was surprised when my Hot Chocolate came with whipped cream on top, very nice. I also had a side of Corn Beef Hash which was pretty good as well. Despite being super busy, the wait time for my food was no issue either. Very solid diner, I wonder how lunch is like so I'll definitely try it out one day. read more

This place closes at 1. Not 2 like on yelp or on the doors. Go somewhere else. Run away. Happy to drive somewhere else. Fix your listings on the internet so people don't waste their time driving to your bad attitude. Also, be nice when people like me come in after you are "closed" but not really on the internet because your times are listed incorrectly. read more

My husband and I decided to try a new spot for Sunday breakfast. After checking out the Yelp reviews for the places in the area we had not tried yet, we settled on Mitchell's on Main. When we got there, there was a little bit of a wait. It gave us the chance to check out the extensive list of specials on the board. They all sounded great, a lot of stuff similar to what you'd find at O'Rourke's (banana walnut bread French toast, homemade roast beef hash, strawberry bananas foster stuffed French toast, etc). However, the prices were far more reasonable than at O'Rourke's, and the restaurant is larger and warmer, and the parking is better. I knew as soon as I read the specials that I had to have the strawberry and bananas foster stuffed French toast. We got seated in less than 10 minutes at a booth in the back section of the restaurant. We were asked immediately if we wanted coffee, and we got one coffee and one herbal tea. They had a good herbal tea selection, which I was happy about since I gave up caffeine over the summer. However, they didn't bring us spoons, so we had to stir our drinks with forks. Not a big deal but it's one of those details that keeps me from rating as a 5. I also asked for ice water and didn't get it. Coffee refills were a a bit slow. We also didn't have knives, one came with my husband's plate, but I had to ask for one. The food was the reason for the 4 rating. It's probably even a 4.5. I ordered the stuffed French toast special, which was fabulous!!! It looked good and tasted better. I also got a side of corned beef hash, which was prepared well done (as I requested) and tasted fresh and homemade. My husband ordered the eggs Benedict and one pancake that was on the specials board - pumpkin white chocolate chips. His eggs Benedict was great...crispy English muffins, flavorful and perfectly grilled Canadian bacon, perfectly cooked egg, good Hollandaise sauce, his pancake was great too. I definitely want to go back soon to try more of the items off the regular menu, as well as more of the fabulous specials!! If the service was just a little but better, I could increase their rating to a 5. We heard our waitress at a table behind us...I guess they were regulars because she rattled off their normal order off the top of her head, so they probably loved the service, I just wish she remembered to bring our water, utensils and coffee refills, pretty basic stuff for a breakfast restaurant. Overall, great experience and wonderful food. Mitchell's will definitely be on our regular rotation for breakfast spots. read more

Excellent food. Great service. Friendly staff: attentive, but not invasive. Highly recommend!

One of my family's favorite breakfast spots. Great standards and even better specials! Lines can be long, so get there early.

The food is decent, but service was bad enough to where I'll never go back. The restaurant was staffed, but there was 6-7 employees socializing with friends instead of working. 12 minutes after we were seated we finally gave our orders, 25 minutes for food, and another 20 minutes watching the wait staff chat with friends rather than bringing us our check. So much potential but management needs to get their stuff together read more

This morning was my first trip to Mitchell's on Main, and I was very impressed! I was shocked to find something not on yelp! I heard of Mitchell's by word of mouth from some people at one of my local diners. I showed up around 9:30am on a Sunday morning and there was a short wait - perhaps 5-10minutes. The place was busy - your classic local breakfast joint. Once I got sat, my coffee was in front of me within a minute. I must say service is very good here! The menu has a large selection for breakfast and lunch (didn't check to see if they were open for dinner). Prices seemed a little high, but most places in the area have different menus for the weekend - but it was still very reasonable! I tried the "New Special" which consists of 2 eggs, 2 sausage links, 2 strips of bacon, toast (I tried the Raisin bread), home fries, and 2 pancakes! I don't remember the exact price, but with coffee it my bill was $9.20. The home fries were good - they didn't have any onions or anything in them, but the seasoning took care of it. I'll definitely be back! I hear there is another Mitchell's in Rocky Hill so I'll have to check that out too! read more

Mitchell's On Main - This is an old photo taken from Google Maps. There is a green sign out front now. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cromwell, Connecticut

Toms review was right-on, Mitchell's is a good place to go for Breakfast in Cromwell. It was sad to see Mama Roux's go away, it was a truely unique breakfast joint with a louisiana flair, but its nice to see this place take its place and do a respectable job of filling their shoes .. I have been here a bunch of times already, and i really cant say anything bad about it. I have had omelettes and pancakes and never been let down. Sometimes they are a little slow bringing that first cup of coffee and it feels like eternity at 9am on a saturday, but its always worth the wait. Now with O'Rourkes open again, we don't venture much past Main Street in Middletown for Breakfast (when you are hungry and to get anywhere else means driving by your favorite diner, usually you end up there!) The lines out front dont seem as long as they were when it was Mama Roux's, but i am sure in time people will know about Mitchell's and the lines will be back. They do seem to be open longer than MR's was - which is good for the area. Parking is a little bit weird here - the dirt lot behind the car dealer is always full of puddles after a rain, and the parking spaces along the building are always full - also the interior is kind of an awkward big L shape.. read more

I had the pleasure of breakfast with the family at Mitchell's on Main yesterday. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to local breakfast spots and I wish I could transport Mitchell's to my hometown. We were seated quickly and provided with much needed good coffee. Our server was efficient, professional and very pleasant. We ordered everything from fresh fruit to pancakes, omelets, waffles and two types of hash. Everything we ordered was high quality and well prepared. The portion sizes were very generous. Order the spuds! You have to visit Mitchell's on Main if you're looking for a family friendly, moderately priced breakfast or lunch spot. You may not be able to decide what to order because it's all good but whatever you choose will make you a "happy (and satisfied) camper." read more

I can walk to Mitchell's on Main and have done so many a Saturday morning for breakfast. Great spot for a nice greasy breakfast. It's the type of place where you order a side of bacon and they bring a dozen strips to the table. You order a waffle, and you get a waffle the size of your head. They have some really cool specials...s'mores waffles, banana french toast. The kids love the place. They also have lollipops for after breakfast. Nothing like putting the kids into sugar shock after their carbo-laden breakfast. The kitchen is open. As a former waiter, I find this comforting that the staff can't do any funny business. Service is quick and friendly. You can get out of there in 1/2 an hour, or stay all morning with your coffee and paper. It's up to you. And you can't beat the prices. It's great to see a classic breakfast spot in downtown Cromwell. read more

The food is good, but the service sucks. We've been going here for a while and the waitresses continue to have nasty attitudes. Recently, the waitress asked "are you guys all set because we have a line waiting." After she received more than a 20% tip. Normally, I would leave a restaurant to let others sit, but they had just refilled our coffee and we were spending time with family that we haven't seen in a while. So we sat and finished our coffee... thanks, Mitchell's!!! We will not be going back here and it's disappointing because this was one of our favorite places. read more
