I was invited down to Southington to join good friends and have lunch at Ellie's Farmhouse…read more Parking was a breeze as I pulled into the restaurant, I swung around the back of the restaurant, and parked in the first space on the south side. So this is a great hack; park on the south side of the building or the right side. Lots of spaces over there. Upon entering, I was greeted warmly by the many staff, and I felt right at home, like going to a friends farmhouse. Jess, our server was already talking to my two friends as I took the seat in the comfortable farmhouse type booth. Jessgreeted me enthusiastically like she's known me forever, and she had a warm welcoming personality. On the table were some apple slices, covered in sugar and cinnamon. Of course, without even asking my friends if they had ordered these, I just reached over and grabbed one of the slices. My goodness, they were delicious, so seasonal, seasonally perfectly, just like they were recently sliced, and farm fresh I ordered the turkey wrap, which consisted of freshly sliced turkey, fresh raw spinach, chopped tomato, grated cheddar cheese, avocado spread, and a ranch dressing. On the side, my choice was onion strings. I also ordered an iced coffee. Almost immediately the iced coffee arrived, generously sized, with cream on the side. This coffee was strong, bold, fresh flavor, and just hit the spot. Probably some of the best iced coffee I've had in a long long time. If you were here and you drink iced coffee, don't miss this treat. The turkey avocado wrap arrived with the string onion rings, and pickle chips. One bite into that turkey avocado wrapped sent me into an immediate food coma. All the flavors just exploded, but that avocado spread was outstanding and was the star of the show. This would be a selection I would highly recommend if you don't know what to order, plus that avocado spread which I didn't know what it was at first, just exploded. The flavors , the presentation; Amazing. The accompanying onion strings were perfectly deep-fried, rightfully, portioned, and generously portioned, and I did add a little salt to them. The straws hit the spot I could've ordered another plate of them. Again, highly recommend these onion strings. One of my friends ordered the cheeseburger with regular bacon on it, well done with a side order of french fries, She polished off that cheeseburger like it was her last meal. My other friend ordered the Reuben, dressing on the side, with an order of onion shoe strings. She could only polish off half of her meal and took the other half home in a container. While we were enjoying our dinner dinners, Jess came to the table and dropped off an order of banana bread with nuts in it. Topped with soft butter. She said this was made an error and because we were having such a good time, enjoy it on the house. Such a great service such a great reason for wanting to come back! And that banana bread just hit the spot, if I wasn't so full, I probably would've ordered another one. The total bill for the three of us was $49 plus tip. This I think was a great bargain. I hope Ellie's Farmhouse survives here in Southington, and becomes a staple of the community. I look forward to coming back as I've heard breakfasts are the bomb! Excellent parking, clean restrooms, excellent vibe, excellent fresh food comfortable boots, and Jess made the experience much more enjoyable with her charm and width. She was also very knowledgeable of the menu. So thanks again Ellie's Farmhouse, you are so deserving of the five stars!

We have always found the food to be very good. Served quickly. The portions are large enough, nothing crazy large, but filling. This time we my wife had the Rubin and I had the turkey club. Both sandwiches were tasty and the onion rings were OK. They lacked flavor and what I did pick up was the taste of uncooked flour. I like the coffee and wish I could have had a 2nd cup with my meal but our waitress must have been in the witness protection plan. After she took our order we didn't see her until we were finished with our meal. I did get a 2nd cup of coffee to drink while going over our bill and anguishing over her tip. Yes, we still left a tip. Yes we will still go back because the food is good. I'll get the fries next time.

I was shocked to know that in such a small area there are such a wide variety of restaurant options. Today our google search recommend Nina's kitchen which was only a 3-minute drive from work. Menu options include breakfast, salads, pasta, baked goods as well as hot and cold sandwiches. Soft drinks, chips, coffee, and fruits are also available The dining area is very cozy, clean, and tidy. Our server who was also the cashier handed us a menu to review and was back to take our order in a few minutes. Service was very fast as our wait time was less than 5 minutes. I had the BLT and it was so good. At first, I thought the bacon was too crispy but combined with the lettuce tomato and Mayo it was the perfect texture and consistency. My friends both enjoy their ham and cheese grinder and the corn chowder with chicken parm sandwich. The menu had stated that they had banana bread but when I asked, he said it was out of stock and they are waiting for the bananas to ripe a bit more. It was a bummer but funny at the same time. Prices were very reasonable as I wasn't looking to spend more than 10 dollars on lunch today and my total was just$10.06 If you are looking for somewhere quiet for a quick bite then check out Nina's. You will not be disappointed.

I kind of ordered strangely because I was hungry and my family decided on their orders before I did. I had decided on a meatball sandwich for my main thing.

The owner, Kay, took our orders & I made chit chat with her. What an amazing woman! THE RESTAURANT: While it is pretty small in here (think if you sneeze walking by, you'll miss it!) the place is very laid back & warm feeling. I finally made it here. The owner, Kay, said after Covid, she cut back the diner's hours, things were slow to come back. THE FOOD: My husband got the #1-scrambled, with a pancake, coffee is included & here ordered an orange juice. I ordered the #2- over medium with sausage & rye toast, coffee is included. The food was delicious! As we sat at the counter, talking to Kay, I noticed that the seats were comfortable & not lumpy & bumpy like most counter seats. The coffee was Omar coffee but also good. Kay told us they make the pancakes from scratch daily. I watched her make the home fries, also from scratch. This place is definitely a must visit if you want to try a throw back from the days when you walked in and people were nice & kind & genuinely just wanted to be friendly. Prices are decent, too.

There were only two tables occupied on our arrival and our soon to be server told us to sit where ever we wished. My wife soon settled on bananas foster French toast while I found myself in a quandary, corned beef hash or Turkish eggs (Cilbir)? Decisions, decisions. I asked our server for her recommendation and with little hesitation she responded hash. The French toast proved to be a sizable portion, a pair of 3 inch slices of bread with grilled bruleed banana and warm rum caramel. Tasted good, but too much for my lady who failed to take even a nibble out of the second piece of toast. I also was amazed by the portion size of the corned beef hash that was served over seasoned arugula, topped with a trio of juicy eggs and 1/2 of an avocado along with a side of unneeded sourdough toast. I a barely able to finish half before crying out "no mas". I, known in many circles as Mr. Frugal, decided to take the remainder of mine home even though it was a bit too dry with minimal flavor. As it turned out, a tasting the next day proved to be quite good so I happily finished the remainder for lunch. Meanwhile my dining companion chose to depart empty handed due to caloric concerns. Service came with a smile.

Most recent trip was French toast w side meat. Bacon crisped up well. Sausage links were solid. The French toast could have used a dash of salt to open the flavor but otherwise good. The coffee is decent and the service is quick and does follow up frequently. The place is a classic small diner and has the obligatory stools for quick service breakfast. One personal knock is that it's a Pepsi place and not Coke, but that is a personal preference which is not reflected in my rating. Prices are not bad for what you get. A solid option for breakfast in the area.

"I once knew a pirate named Bob B O B, Bob was a drunken old…read moreslob B O B, Bob, 'bout as dumb as a rock But Bob, he made it to the top" (Willie Nelson) I had a monthly Board of Director's meeting in Rocky Hill at 9:30 this morning. The meeting was exactly two minutes away from Bob's, so when I rolled into Bob's at a quarter to nine, saw a near empty dining room, I figured I'd have plenty of time to have a coffee, enjoy a bagel, and go through my meeting notes. Oops, that wasn't what happened. Truth be told, I made my meeting with seven minutes to spare. After I ordered, I waited for quite a while and looked up from my notes to see what was going on. I saw two servers and the manager engaged in a serious conversation about something. My server caught my eye and ran over to the kitchen, and I clearly heard her say something like "where's that egg on a bagel?". It was evident that the order hadn't even made its way to the kitchen yet. Eventually my breakfast sandwich did arrive, and the server offered some sort of an apology for the delay and communication breakdown. Now, as I said, Bob's was pretty empty today, so that made the service breakdown hard to understand. I certainly hope they do a better job on their busy weekends. Anyway, my server was pleasant, and I did appreciate her apology. The sandwich and coffee were fine, and the bill came to just $7. Will I be back next month? I doubt it.
