The Yard Goat
Naz Z.

Cute interior and friendly staff. The food was good (not much to write home about, but to be fair, we didn't order popovers which seems to be what they're known for), but the real star is the specialty coffees. SO DELICIOUS!!! I could have the strawberry shortcake one every day. This location is next to Starbucks, think about trying these coffees out instead!

Corn beef, eggs over easy, potatoes and sourdough toast.

Just went to Pop Over Eatery for breakfast after a walk along a trail nearby and absolutely loved it. Ambiance is somewhat old school diner. The server was friendly and helpful with our choices. My buddy and I both ordered the corn beef plate with sourdough toast. The corn beef was tender, juicy and flavorful. This was real corn beef, NOT out of a can! This dish made a lifetime fan out of me. Will be back soon!

I love this place for its great variety of breakfast options and fun coffee choices. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, and finding good baked goods can be challenging--so I was very happy to see gluten-free bread options and even waffles on the menu. I decided to try their gluten-free English muffin and was absolutely surprised by how good it was! I learned they source their English muffins from a local baker, and I only wish I knew who it was because I'd buy a bunch myself. The food was delicious and came out quickly. I also tried their gluten-free blueberry scone and--again--loved it! Even though I don't live in the area, I definitely plan to visit again.

The service was amazing and it's a cute little place. Maybe, that's why I was expecting some amazing homey food. But I wasn't too excited after tasting my food at all. Everything from the coffee to the food we got was all just meh! We had ordered their Veggie pop and Loaded breakfast bowl.

The popover with honey butter was perfect since I wasn't super hungry. It's a great deal for $4.50.

Such a cute bright place for breakfast or brunch! The servers were cheerful and friendly. We were both thrilled with our orders--chicken&waffles and a popover with honey butter.

A cozy spot for breakfast and brunch! Their hot chocolate and lattes are comforting and rich, and the pancakes are absolutely delicious--soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. A must-visit for anyone craving a hearty morning treat!

Pop Over Eatery is a breakfast/lunch spot and they have two locations, one in Mystic and one in Simsbury. I've read reviews for this place and was excited to try it out. It's located in the Simsburytown Shops; it's a busy parking lot with limited parking, but we were able to snag a spot. The place was busy at lunch on a Monday. We spoke to the hostess and she said about a 10-15 minute wait, which was correct and fine with us. They had high chairs which was a plus. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I enjoyed the bright and colorful decor. I started off with a butter latte which you guessed it, had butter in it; it was delicious, I ordered it hot since the waitress said it might not fully melt if it's iced, I appreciated the tip. Their menu was vast and had so many good and unique options to choose from. I decided to try out their French toast BLT; it had an egg, applewood bacon, lettuce, tomato, maple mayo, and cinnamon brioche French toast. This came with a side of syrup but I didn't need it. The sandwich was unique and pretty good; I just wished it came with a side like fries or hash browns. There were a few other menu items I wanted to try out as well. At the end, the receipt was dropped off; I liked that we can pay by scanning the QR code on the receipt.

Sunday morning around 9:30, we drove by and my wife convinced me to get some grub. She's been here a couple times but it was a first for me. Stuffed popovers for breakfast is a concept I agreed to try. Staff were very friendly and they all seemed excited and happy about their jobs. We waited about 20 minutes which was fine. Service was prompt and friendly. My wife got a basic and huge popover with jam and flavored butter. I got the stuffed popover with scrambled eggs, real corned beef and potatoes. It was an Irish something dish. We also got crunchy fried potatoes as a side which actually was totally unnecessary but delicious. I only said unnecessary because we couldn't finish them and brought them home. My popover was literally stuffed and was an absolute beast of a meal. It was good, and I admit I couldn't finish it. There's a ton of other things on the menu which would motivate me to come back. They offer some breakfast sandwiches and meals without any popovers. Watching food items getting delivered around our table was interesting. They don't take reservations but you get on the list and can wait in the entrance area which can get a little packed along with people who get take out too. They text you when your table is ready so many people sat in their cars (I assume). Some also stayed outside which brings me to my ONLY and petty constructive criticism of this restaurant. We were there on a fairly enjoyable but yet cooler morning. The door swings open and closed copious amounts due to people picking up takeout orders, people wanting to sit inside, people who get their names on the list and then go sit in their cars, therefore there's always a cool breeze and soon to be a cold breeze within the restaurant when winter arrives. We sat towards the back of the restaurant near the kitchen and our food got cool quicker than we anticipated. So this winter, eat fast and bundle up because that door is always swinging open. It's not the end of the world for us, we will go back, and maybe during the winter they might turn some heat on but stop over for some awesome popovers. You won't regret it.

Irish popover with fresh vegetables and corn beef

Was looking for a place that made pop over breakfast meals and I was extremely satisfied in finding this place The food was amazing and perfectly cooked the vegetables were fresh and the corn beef was amazing it was a good portion of food, filling, the popover I had on the side with their warm honey cinnamon brown sugar butter

This was my first time dining in even though I have had their food through catering. I didn't realize they served brunch all day so I'd definitely make the trip again since brunches are my favorite. We went at 9a on a Sunday and I called ahead to find out if there was any wait, which was none. It was steady through out our dining experience. The staff are really nice and I love the colors they have going on inside and outside. I learned the small little patio outside the front door, although more intimate is only for take out guests. There is outdoor seating with patio umbrellas on the side. The food is really good. That Skillet Shakshuka was worth it! I wish I had more bread though, that got gobbled up. The only thing to note was that my friend's classic Benny was brought out incomplete without the bearnaise sauce. She didn't actually notice it was lacking until it was brought over. At least that was rectified. I didn't partake in any lattes or coffee, though I was told it's really good. I suppose I will have to add that on my next visit!

How is it that I haven't reviewed this place yet?? This is my absolute favorite breakfast spot and probably the only place I'm willing to wait over 30min to be seated coz it's worth it. If (like me) you don't know what popovers are, it's a light roll made from an egg batter similar to a Yorkshire pudding, typically baked in dedicated popover pans. Don't be alarmed by the huge size it's almost all air or hollow inside and eggy on the walls. Drizzle that with warm clarified butter and maple syrup... voilà!! Yum!! There are so many variations of what you can top a popover with on the menu. I've had the veggie and Nutella versions of it.. both really good!! I love how innovative and creative they are with the food plus the menu offers a large variety of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options.

I went here for brunch with my mom and the food was good. I liked the French toast, I'm happy I added fresh fruit to it. My mom said the waffles were good, but the cheese on top of the waffles was not a good combo - felt like it was too much. Our server was nice and accommodated us when we asked to switch to outside seating. The outside was so cute and lovely!

The menu had lots of options and something for everyone . I ordered the iced tiramisu latte and the ricotta hotcakes with Nutella and bananas . Which was amazing , very light and delicious ( I normally don't eat all my food because of large portions .. but I was given 3 ricotta hotcakes and I ate everything!! It was sooo good , very light and filling , highly recommend ! My sister ordered the VEGAN kimichi bowl which was really good as well . My mom ordered the mango soufflé pancakes which i tried and def worth the drive to try . Very light and fluffy cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. !!

Again the fired chicken was still light ( and not to heavy ) Overall 10/10 great staff , great atmosphere and even better the food was delicious ( with lots of options and variety for everyone). Definitely worth the 40 min drive and I will definitely be back again !!!

Their summer menu feels so creative and unique. It made me want to return regularly to check out what else they have come up with. I ordered the rose latte and the scallion pancake breakfast sandwich. I have never had anything like it before! Whoever thought of it is brilliant. It's a scallion pancake and it is stuffed with sausage and eggs. It is so delicious and satisfying. It comes with a side of sweet potato fries, and of course my daughter loved that. Also I wanted to shout out the waiters, who are really nice and attentive! The only reason I'm not giving five stars is that they don't have pastries! I wonder why. It would really hit the spot in a cafe like this, especially with their coffee.

I received three empanadas for just over seven dollars, presented over some lettuce with an aïoli sauce type dip So let me tell you, these empanadas were egg, bacon, and cheese wrapped in a pillow Philo type dough. Lovingly made, these empanadas were out of bounds delicious.! The homemade aïoli type dipping sauce was perfect for these empanadas. After I finished the empanadas, I found taking lettuce and dragging it through the aïoli sauce fitting. I finished the whole serving, wanting more! Drago's I wanted more! To say this newer restaurant is an institution would be an understatement. This place was hopping, with customers coming in and out constantly as I waited a few minutes for my takeout. OK! Here's the drawback... I loved the heavy duty carryout bag, but Drago's you need to put your logo on the bag! It would be the frosting on the cake Thanks again, Drago's Kitchen!

The servers were friendly and quick, and the decor is very rustic and clean. Good sized tables and chairs. It took us maybe no more than 5 minutes to get seated, not a big deal. As for the food, I cannot recommend that chicken and biscuit sandwich more!! The chicken was so tender and crispy, and it paired perfectly with the biscuit, the sauce, and the egg. I will say, it said on the menu it would be an over easy egg but I think it was more medium, but honestly it was SO DELICIOUS it really didn't matter. We also tried a BYO omelet and that was good! I think the broccoli was cooked very well, nothing felt raw in the omelet. I might have liked a smidge more cheese to help it all hold together, but again, not a big deal!! It was a standard omelet, I probably wouldn't get that again but I would 100% get that chicken and biscuit sandwich!! Also their prices are very good!!

These days it's hard to find a cafe that isn't overpriced and better than just average. But Toasted Oat hits the high points of quality of cook on the food, even if the ingredients may not all be top notch. They have breakfast sandwiches, bowls and scrambles, as well as regular sandwiches, salads and burritos. We enjoyed the regular breakfast sandwich with spinach and cheese (subbed the meat but wish the spinach had been cooked in - $7) and the breakfast scramble which included 2 eggs, 3 veggies, cheese, protein all mixed/cut up together, as well as hash brown (didn't exactly look homemade?) and toast ($11). Everything was served in to-go containers so the looks weren't the best but makes sense given the place and that most people probably don't dine in. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. Everything takes time to come out so you know it's done to order. They also have some coffee and tea. They had a few coffee cake items in a glass display but didn't look homemade either. It feels like a cafe should have more selection of pastries but again bother me. Service was friendly and patient. The actual location isn't that great visually either. There is one longer table and a few smaller ones, but it's not a big place and not decorated to impress (fine by me!) It is located in a small nondescript plaza with an Indian market. Small parking lot. Wish this small business well!
