Our server was knowledgeable of gluten free options on the menu, which was great. They start every table with potato chips and a yummy aioli, truly addicting! For food, the filet mignon was perfection. A previous time I came, they had shrimp and scallops in a saffron cream with wild rice and market vegetables and it was DIVINE! The menu does change so that dish wasn't listed this recent time that we went. It would be amazing if they brought it back as a permanent dish!!! For drinks, I loved by Buzzin in Bikini Bottom cocktail! It is my favorite! My fiancé liked the Negroni and Julep as well, but loved my drink above those. I'd definitely recommend going to Six One Nine for a date night or dinner outing!

This was our first time here and we were a little overwhelmed with the numerous offerings on the menu. We both ordered the burger platter. I was directed around the corner of the building to the pick up window. Our order came up quickly by another friendly smiling girl with quite the booming voice. There are plenty of picnic tables under a wooden canopy. The area is clean and inviting but we chose to eat in our air conditioned vehicle because it was hot and humid today. The burgers were tasty and the toppings fresh. The fries were very good and plentiful. We couldn't finish them and took them home. Our only complaint was my wife ordered her's well done and it came out rare. Mine was fine. We need to come back for some ice cream.

I went with a 1/4 lb burger with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. I asked for it as rare as they could make it and they cooked it nicely. The side of onion rings were great as well. They were nice and crispy! Plenty of seating to choose from here. They have picnic tables close to the order window and a good number of tables under a roof to keep you protected from the sun and weather. There's also a large ceiling fan in there for when the temps go up. Service was friendly! From the order taker to the order deliverer..everyone was smiling and pleasant. This is a really great spot to check out! I need to come back to explore the menu more; they have much more than just burgers. And of course, to try the ice cream!

Parking: nice sized lot…read more Decor: clean and not too tacky like some cafe's Staff: friendly and mostly attentive to customers Food: good but overcooked relative to the price. Ordered an egg white omelette and it came out brown (see photos). Looks like they were watching the soccer game and not the grill. Price: seemed a little high, $9 for one side pancake. Overall: I would go back if in the area for the cleanliness but I'd shop around to try other diners too.

The establishment is deceptively large. It looks much smaller outside and looks much bigger inside…read more The atmosphere is surprisingly laid back and the decor of books everywhere, from the rafters to shelves in the columns, is refreshingly original. It blows the Tex-mex and southern inspired Longhorn and Cracker Barrel decors away. The food, at least when I went there, seemed fairly cheap and a good deal for breakfast sit-down food. The menu is not southern inspired but is prepared well regardless of that fact. It seemed appropriate for southern Connecticut. I prefer it to Dad's Restaurant in nearby Wallingford, a ~10 minute detour from here, mostly due its atmosphere. Dad's is a decent a deal as it is, but it feels more like the inside of an iHop with its many booths and as I recall, not nearly as charming originality to its decor. It may not be a Michelin star restaurant, but I would hate to eat breakfast at an establishment that was. Dressing up, gourmet food, gourmet prices, and a stale atmosphere works well for dinner service, less so for breakfast, in my honest opinion. It may be a "hole-in-the-wall" type of place, but the hole is large and the locals don't mind keeping it all to themselves. 5/5
