    Breakfast platter special number 12
    Ashley B.

    Recommended: Yes, for a classic diner experience with great breakfast options and a welcoming vibe. Overall: A true gem for breakfast with a strong sense of community and great value, though the seating system and coffee could use improvement. Snapshot: Food: 5/5 Coffee: 2/5 Vibe: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 5/5 ‍‍ Family-Friendly: 5/5 Highlights: Perfect For: A classic, budget-friendly family breakfast Don't Miss: The special breakfast plates and those amazing breakfast potatoes Bonus Tip: Don't expect great coffee, but the food more than makes up for it All The Details: The Pepper Pot Diner in Southington is truly a gem. It's one of my favorite places, offering a diner experience that takes you back to a simpler time. The seating system, where you just wait to be seated without any wait times given, can be a little chaotic, especially with kids, but everything else is perfect. This bustling diner offers a special plate with a split decision of pancakes, French toast, eggs, and some of the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had--all for just $12. It's great for feeding the family on a budget, yet still offers that warm, community feel. You'll see many familiar faces there, and the staff is always so nice and helpful. It's an excellent spot for kids, as they always have high chairs and usually a back spot available for families. The only downside is the coffee, which is pretty bad--pretty disappointing for a diner. But honestly, once you try those potatoes, you won't care much about the coffee. The service is always quick, friendly, and helpful. If you want a fast, satisfying family breakfast before heading out to do something in Southington, this is definitely the place to go. And seriously, did I mention the potatoes?

    I love this place good food, good portions, and great service. Been coming here for years and never had a complaint.

    Egg White House omelette

    CASH ONLY! ok now that we got that out of the way let's talk about how amazing the Pepper Pot in Southington is! I ordered take out and it was such an easy process. The woman on the phone said she was new but she sounded like she was working there forever- she was very nice, friendly, and offered some good tips on some food items I ordered! Sorry I didn't catch her name. I ordered the house omelette, hungry French toast and egg & cheese scrambler! Me and my friends loved each entree. We also had to comment on how amazing their home fries were! We also got a variety of their freshly baked muffins. I got their blueberry and coffee cake flavors and Omgg they were amazing! Not dry at all and better than a bakery honestly! When I come back I'm getting a ton of these again! (Sadly I don't have any pictures of these) Luckily they have an ATM onsite because they are cash only but this place is worth it! Friendly staff, delicious food and cute atmosphere! Check them out!

    The Pepper Pot is literally a minute walk from my work so I'm very surprised I've never been here before! My co worker wanted to treat me to an end of the school year breakfast and she said The Pepper Pot is where it's at! She wasn't lying! It's packed all the time so that's a huge giveaway. It took us a while to get served because of this, but once we did it was pretty fast. My co worker ordered an omelette which was stuffed to the gills with items and came with home fries.. which I tried and they were delicious. I got scrambled eggs and you can add stuff to them so I added mushrooms which was a great choice. I also got a side of sliced tomatoes and an English muffin with apple jam which was amazing! I would totally come back! Nice job Pepper Pot!!

    Pepper Pot Corned Beef Hash
    Steve T.

    "Homemade Corned Beef Hash" I love corned beef hash and the menu said it was homemade. Some restaurants claim that their hash is homemade, but it's obvious that it came from a can when you can see the same sized potato nibs mixed into corned beef mush. The Pepper Pot corned beef hash is without a doubt homemade and very good. I mean it's really really good. I tasted a slight smokyness which added another layer of flavor. The homefries were nicely browned, the scrambled eggs were light and fluffy, and I'd like to know the brand of rye bread that they use because it was one of the tastiest rye breads I've ever had. My breakfast was excellent and I can't wait to take my wife to the Pepper Pot.

    Pancakes, scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage, bacon, home fries, and italian bread toast.

    This is one of my favorite place to go in central CT for breakfast. The prices are great, and the portions beyond generous. If you're planning on eating here, bring your appetite! The menu has a great variety. I always order the Italian bread toast which is a neat option. It's thick, crispy, and buttery. The place can be packed on the weekends. It's a good idea to go earlier than 9am. Due to Covid, I had not been there in over a year. I had gotten a to go order before restrictions were lifted and it did not disappoint.

    English Scramble
    Christine P.

    I came her last month for my friend's birthday brunch and I was so surprised at the quality and quantity of food I got. I got the English Scramble and a few of my friends got the pancakes, which were HUGE. The price here is inexpensive, too. I will be stopping by again next time I'm in Southington! Additionally, when I went it was cash only so make sure you bring cash.

    Greeted warmly upon arrival and seated quickly. (Friday morning at 9:15)…read moreOur server was very friendly and kind. Our food was delivered really quickly and tasted great! The Sunny Side dish pictured usually comes with hollandaise sauce but I don't care for it so requested it not be added. My husband had a Meat Lover's omelette but started eating before I could snap a picture. He said it was very good. My daughter had the Californian subbing crispy tots for the sweet potatoes. One of her favorite dishes here. Love this place and will definitely return!

    Very cute spot with yummy fresh food. We ordered a breakfast burrito and the Sunny Side (eggs come…read moreto order and I asked to have them poached) plus two cold brews with a flavor shot each, The burrito was stuffed with fresh diced onions, tomatoes, peppers, eggs and black beans - very filling alongside our requested tater tots. The aioli was delicious and went well with the tots. The sunny side comes with a hollandaise so I figured poached eggs would go best. The eggs were perfectly runny. My two complaints: I could have used a bit more hash browns under the eggs. I asked for a side of toast because there weren't enough potatoes to soak up the yolk with. The hollandaise has good flavor but arrives a bit watery and foamy. It also seems like they serve unsalted whipped butter? I could be wrong but my buttered toast was bland. Overall, I will definitely come again. The coffee was good, there are other dishes I want to try, and our server, Meikhi was so nice and attentive. He's very personable and matched the energy of each of his tables.

    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!!
