The food is great and the service is friendly and great. Warning - the place is really small! Very limited seating, and it's tight. I went during the winter while it was still cold, and every time that door opened or closed, it was brutal! Now that it's warm, I'll have to return for a better experience. My friend and I shared an order of the strawberry and banana pancakes. They were fluffy and topped with sooo much fruit. I ordered the California Benedict. I loved it. She ordered an omelette. Both came with your choice of bread for toast and homefries. I really liked that the fries were not greasy at all! I heard that they have a patio during the warmer months, so that is nice to hear. If you enjoy typical diner food with a Mexican twist, I suggest you give this restaurant a try. read more

Rob's Kitchen offers a high-quality breakfast focused on scratch-made ingredients and extensive dietary accommodations. The house-made chorizo is a standout, featuring a well-calibrated spice profile that avoids overpowering the other components. Menu Highlights: Mexican Scramble: A balanced combination served with traditional refried beans, rice, and corn tortillas. Chorizo Omelette: Well-executed and paired with seasoned home fries. Gluten-Free Accessibility: The restaurant maintains a superior selection of GF options rarely found in standard breakfast diners, including pancakes, French toast, and bread. The service and atmosphere are notably personal, mimicking a residential dining experience rather than a commercial one. This is a reliable destination for those requiring strict gluten-free protocols without sacrificing variety. read more

Wonderful, cozy and delicious breakfast! The homemade chorizo has the right amount of heat, I had it in the Mexican scramble served with refried beans, rice and corn tortilla. Hubs had it in an omelette with home fries and gluten free toast. Thank you Yelp for helping us find this wonderful restaurant that has a plethora of gluten free options (including GF pancakes and French Toast). It felt like we were at someone's home the meals and service are so welcoming! read more

We met up with family and friends - six adults for an early Saturday brunch. Food: Very edible and fullfilling. Your standard Diner fare with a twist of Latin American dishes. Service: The servers worked hard to please, just a little green to the craft; not that I'm any less green, kudos to them. Ambiance: Inside little seating if any. When we visited it was outdoors, at picnic table set on a paved lot. Under shaded umbrellas a plus. Picnic tabletops - just don't eat anything from the sticky surface. read more

Today was the second time we visited ROB's kitchen! It was a beautiful morning, so we sat outside and enjoyed our wings and breakfast! The servers were very attentive and kept checking in with us. We always appreciate good service and we will definitely be back! read more

My mother and I drove up here for an event and decided to go local. We ran into this place and had an amazing time. My mother ordered from the "secret" menu while I had an omelette. The service was quick, we got seated. The food was just amazing!! It's a small quaint little restaurant. 9/10!! We couldn't find a bathroom is the only reason it's not a 10. read more

This place is just the best. The secret mexican menu is fire and the food is always good. Never a bad meal. The weekly specials and the empanadas you can't miss. Please get the breakfast total, you will not be disappointed. Service is pretty good too. read more

Rob’s Kitchen - Veggie omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Plainville, Connecticut

We traveled west across the Connecticut river to try Robs in Plainville for breakfast. It's a solid 4 and for locals, I'm sure a go to place for folks there. If you happen to be driving by- try it. To come a distance specifically for a meal there- not really worth the drive. Small, clean place. Server/workers there really nice & friendly. Good coffee ( that's important to me as I don't drink much coffee & when I have it, I want it to be good). Very reasonable prices. My husband had scrambled eggs (portion was 2 eggs I think). I had a cheese omelette (2 eggs too?) Both ok/good. They have a 'secret' menu featuring Mexican specialities. Glad we tried Robs, however we will leave it to the locals to go there going forward. read more

Really great diner food and helpful service with a secret Mexican menu. Best Patti melt in the area

Our breakfast today was amazing. The morning was cool but warm enough to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Our server, Maggie, came right over and greeted us. She was friendly and enthusiastic. More importantly, she was prompt and efficient. She timed her visits perfectly and took our drink orders and delivered them quickly. Our orders were taken and brought out amazingly fast. Everything we had on the table was excellent without exception. The three orders of crepes were stuffed, the fruit cups were fresh and overflowing. My omelet was perfect. The corned beef hash inside was done just right and the potatoes were crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside. My granddaughter summed it up after we left. She said, "We must come here again. Soon." We'll be back. Soon. read more

Do you like breakfast? Do you like Mexican food? Do you like the idea of combining those? Make the pilgrimage to Plainville/Southington and patronize this phenomenal restaurant. Have been several times, specials are amazing. "Secret" Mexican menu that they hand you when you sit down is what you want, but standard options are solid. But damnit get the Mexican options, standard breakfast options are a dime a dozen, this place is SPECIAL, keep it in business. I know where you live. read more

It was genuinely one of the best dining experiences I've had at a diner in my entire life. The authenticity of their Mexican cuisine and the classic American breakfast dishes were far superior to most places in town. The Route 10 burrito was simply the best I've had in a very long time. I've also tried the Oaxaca platter, which was equally delicious. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take pictures of all the amazing food I had. I devoured everything I ordered, and the hot chocolate was simply incredible. I can't wait to return and explore the entire menu. Every dish I tried was delicious. read more

First time stopping in and had an enjoyable breakfast. The environment was very comfortable and clean. The waitress was pleasant and very attentive. read more

Fresh! That's what I can say about Rob's Kitchen. We ordered two different omelets, some bacon and some homemade corned beef hash. Everything tasted really fresh and nothing was greasy at all. The omelets were both really good. Perfectly cooked and assembled. Again, fresh tasting and no grease at all. Eggs were fluffy and ingredients very tasty. The side of bacon was not fantastic. Mediocre bacon which was overcooked. Could have done better on the bacon. Lastly, the home fries were good. Fresh and tasty if not just a little bland. Nothing a little salt and pepper didn't take care of. Rob's hit the spot today and I also noticed that they do lunches too! Would like to try one of their burgers next time! Good job Rob's Kitchen! read more

Been here twice for brunch on Sunday after church. Great food, great prices, great service! Small cozy space, with good quality food.

Great little hole in the wall! Super small, friendly fast staff with excellent food! The seem to also do a lot of take! If you are looking for that mom and pop style breakfast joint look no further! read more

*They make their own chorizo -- let's open with that (I'll return later in the write up).. What a gem! Just discovered this place with a friend last week and had to bring my spouse there a few days later. I would have expected lines out the door and crazy wait times, but for my two visits, the place was full and people just kept moving. We had no trouble getting seated right away, even in the weekend. It was rainy for my first visit (on a weekend) so everyone was indoors, but the second visit allowed us to choose indoors or outdoors (great weather for second visit/weekday). It all starts with the people-- we were greeted with a huge smile and the server each time was helpful as we sought to navigate the many choices and specials. Visit #1 was simple-- I went for the early bird #3 which featured (for me) French toast, eggs, bacon, and coffee for 8:95 all in. Who could go wrong? We were served quickly and everything was as ordered. Classic breakfast. Visit number two was where the chorizo comes into play. Rob's Kitchen has multiple offerings that feature chorizo. For our visit, we went for the Route 10 Special -- and omelet starring the chorizo. Flavorful without being too spicy. The salsa did have a little kick to it, though. We are already looking forward to returning and exploring the menu even more. Great food and service at a reasonable price. A place you will want to return to over and over. read more

Great little breakfast spot. Tiny place with not a ton of seating so come early to avoid the wait!

Food was average at Best with small portions. A bit pricey for what you get for food. Toast was stale. Actually didn't have decaf coffee ready? Service was just ok, although I never got my water I had asked for when ordering. I may try one more time...issue is there are so many other places to eat at. read more

Stopped here after an appointment and it's a little small inside. 7 tables & 2 servers. Ok. Waited a little longer than a bit to take coffee order. No oatmilk or nondairy option. Then waited quite a bit to get coffee. Placed our order w the coffee order for obvious reasons. Didn't get the food yet.. I hope it's worth the wait. Ok. So food arrived. Not really unreasonably late, either. Food was good enough. Eggs maybe a little runny for over medium -but I'm knit picking now. Overall a solid breakfast choice. Service was just a little slow at the start. I'll try them again another day and hopefully up my stars:) read more

The burrito was unmemorable, and very bland. For a burrito with more than 5 ingredients, the only one you can taste is the chorizo. Home fries were great tho and seasoned. Service was fast and prompt. Inside is small, I can't imagine how it is during peak hours. read more

This was an interesting find for us. We decided as we need to go the plainville area for some errands to stop. My daughter wasn't feeling breakfast so she had the mozz sticks and bowl of chili. My wife had the garden Benedict and myself the Oaxaca omelette. Everything was delicious. The only think that I would say is once the colder weather sets in and the patio is closed down don't be surprised to wait for a table. There is an equal amount of indoor vs outdoor seating. read more

On our search for a new breakfast spot we stumbled upon Robs in Plainville. It's a small spot with some nice outdoor seating. I ordered the philly cheese steak omelette and my wife got eggs benny we also got a side of the house made corned beef hash. The food is outstanding it's not that greasy diner breakfast type. The homemade corned beef has is my favorite of all time and the home fries were perfect with a nice little crisp to them. Waitress said everything is made in house and to try there Mexican food for lunch. We are already planning a return trip for tacos!! What a hidden little gem of a restaurant. read more

Food was delicious and the staff super friendly. Cozy atmosphere and plenty of free parking. Great place!

The best omg so cute stopped in and didn't regret it the servers are so nice. And honestly the food killed it some of the best pancakes I've ever had and trust me I like pancakes. They didn't mess an order up once and the place started to get packed but for the most part it's a gem just because it's small doesn't mean it deserves to be forgotten. read more

This is a wonderful family owned diner that we stumbled upon this morning. People are all very nice, hard-working, and the food was incredibly flavorful.

We are definitely coming back! read more

I was recently in Bristol, CT and decided to go to Rob's Kitchen based on the reviews I saw. This place is great! It's a quaint diner in a nice location. I love the outside setup they have - tables & benches with umbrellas and beautiful flowers. The service was stellar! Our server was Maggie and she was just great! Quick with drinks.. and food was delicious! There was another gentleman helping and I pray his name was Antonio (I apologize to him if it isn't) but he was also amazing. One thing I always do in restaurants is address employees who speak Spanish in their language. I think it shows them care and compassion. He immediately lit up when I spoke to him in Spanish. He was very attentive and accommodating. I will definitely return if in the area. read more

My husband and I went there this morning to have breakfast. Food was average and a little pricey. We ordered some empanadas off the menu $11 for 2, and they we did not like them. We kindly told the waitress and she removed them from the table and handed us our bill minutes after. Bill came back and empanadas were added onto our total. Waitress said owner refused to take empanadas off the bill, she told us owner said it wasn't her problem that we did not like them. We paid the bill, but will not be coming back. Thought that was really messed up, especially because we barely touched them and notified waitress immediately. I would avoid this place at all costs, as owner clearly does not care about customer satisfaction read more

So I'm new to the area, and over the past couple weekends I've been looking for a new breakfast spot. I'm very happy that I picked Rob's this morning from my maps app while searching for breakfast. I saw the 5 star rating so even going in with that preconception I am still greatly impressed. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash Benedict and it was just perfect. Thanks Rob's Kitchen. read more
