    I was driving down the road coming back home from my job when I noticed this little breakfast and lunch shop on the corner of a light. I havent eaten since 5:30am so instead of going home to rummage through the fridge, I thought I'd give this place a try. They are a CASH only establishment. The inside is nice, small, and cozy. The woman who took my order was extremely nice and attentive. I got the Sara js burger which came with American (I think) cheese, bacon, grilled onions, spudtatoes on the burger. I actually didnt realize till now that she didnt ask me how i wanted my burger cooked, so hopefully its still juicy. So it just came out and it looks delicious. It looks juicy and the items on the burger look to be a great combination. And wow. This was delicious. The bread is great. Soft with a nice crunch on the outside. The burger was moist, the bacon was cooked to perfection. It was overall just great and a lovely surprise. I will definitely be coming back. And you should try this place out too.

    I love this place - always get the Fri-ta-ta. The people that work here are very nice and the prices are reasonable.

    In the mood for a cupcake or two !

    Plenty of parking and it's right next to the park . Small in size , buy big in flavor. I wanted to try something besides my normal breakfast, so I went with a pancake. This wasn't an ordinary one it was called "The Hubcap" it was giant (3.50) and it was crispy & fluffy just how I like it . They have a great breakfast/lunch menu and the Spud fries intrigued me to come back to try . They have plain, bbq, buffalo, bacon & cheese or chili cheese. The prices are good and the food all smells amazing when you walk in . They have two big windows with bar stools to have a view while you're eating. Donuts are usually ready by 11 a.m. and you could call and ask what the flavor of the day is . Can't wait to come back to update my review I only stopped in for a bit.

    Sara J's is such a quaint place! Today was my first visit here and I cannot wait to come back. The woman working was extremely friendly and accommodating to any special request. It felt as if my mom was cooking me breakfast in the kitchen :) The prices are incredible for the portion and taste! The homefries were REAL potatoes and the egg sandwich was freshly made. This place is a must try if you're anywhere near Wallingford

    Best $6 ever spent on breakfast!!!  What a cute place and nice people and great food!!!!!! Will definitely be back!

    I have driven by this place many many times and never stopped even though we have the same name!! It's cash only but it's really inexpensive which is awesome! For $6 I got a large omelet, homefries, toast, and a coffee! The food was delicious and the people so nice and kind. Will definitely be back!!!

    Awesome breakfast!

    I go here often. There ususlly quick with service. They have a great bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich. They make fantastic homefries. They also make them in a 'buffalo' flavor. Sara makes crazy flavored cupcakes which are just delishes. For lunch they cook a few good things like steamed cheesburgers.

    The Toastwich! French Toast, eggs, and sausage with syrup!  The best breakfast, I loved it.

    See all

I have to say 619 has become my FAVORITE RESTARAUNT to dine at. The chef provides a variety of dishes all as fabulous as the next. You are greeted and quickly seated and if there is a line (because they are so popular) they kindly inform you that they will work to seat you quickly!

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!

My friend and I started with a glass of wine, and the service in the beginning was good. However things quickly went downhill. This library proves you can't judge a book by its cover. We ordered the calamari appetizer. When it arrived, I opened my silverware from the napkin and discovered that my fork was filthy-- a giant glob of white, crusty food, the size of a dime, was still stuck between the prongs. I waited for my waitress to check in (she didn't deliver the food) but she never came. We tried to get the attention of another waitress and were ignored. After 10 minutes, with my calamari growing cold, I eventually walked to the bar to get a replacement. The bartended exclaimed, "Gross!" -- my sentiments exactly-- when I showed him the fork. By the time I actually sat down to eat, the calamari was cold. It was also super tough and chewy. There were hardly any peppers. We didn't eat much of it. I love French food, and I ordered the duck for dinner. I ordered it medium. When it arrived, it was cooked well done- perhaps in an oven rather than seared. I say this because the skin was not crispy and the fat had not rendered, so the skin/fat remained thick, chewy and inedible. Usually the crispy skin is the best part of duck, so I was disappointed. I had to cut off the skin and thick layer of fat to make it edible. It tasted quite gamey and there was no pink center. It came sliced into thirds, so they knew it was overcooked when they served it to me. I only ate a small portion. The rest of my dish (which came out looking stunning by the way) was also a big disappointment. Although it looked beautiful at first glance, I discovered the delicata squash still had the rough, inedible skin attached. The cherry sauce was heavy-handed and drowned my brussel sprouts, sweet potato purée and carrots to the point that all I could taste was the sauce (a thick, sugary glaze). I did my best to eat around it, because my waitress didn't check on us until much later. In fact we were basically done by the time I saw her again. I had given up at that point and left most of my food behind. There was also an issue with where we were seated. We had a small table in front of a window, but completely blocking a much larger table in a narrow corner. There was a family there when we arrived, and each time they got up to use the bathroom, I had someone's body pressed against my chair to squeeze by. A woman's behind actually grazed the back of my head at one point. When the family left, I could feel them brushing my coat off the back of my chair, resulting in them stepping on it. I can't blame them- it was a tight spot and a very awkward place for a table. I was annoyed that the waitstaff (I'm assuming) took the other chairs at my table, making a 4 seat table into a 2 seater, so I had no choice in where to sit. I didn't understand why they did this, because there was a lovely fireplace nearby and I had my back to it all night. Clearly, they weren't thinking about the dining experience from the customer's point of view. Maybe I could have switched tables but finding my waitress was like trying to find Waldo all evening, so it wasn't worth the hassle. Safe to say I won't be back. If you decide to try it out, be sure to get there early as parking is a pain to find at peak dinner hours.
