    Big, delicious salad
    Loretta M.

    Couldn't help it, came for and ordered my favorite, Jersey Dogs. They were delicious.

    This is our go to spot for breakfast after working out at the gym. A little reward for treating our bodies good. We always get service with a smile and steaming hot meals. This best combo ever.

    The New Yorker
    Cory P.

    Food was good, I had the pastrami eggs benedict, "The New Yorker". It was delicious and I would definitely would eat it again. Service was great, very attentive, only got to drink a quarter of my hot coffee before it was filled to the brim again. Ambiance was good. Would strongly recommend. I would absolutely come again.

    A great spot for excellent service and very good food! Parking is a little tight but don't let that discourage you. We had a few minute wait but not a problem! I ordered the 2 eggs over medium, rye toast, bacon and hash browns. So, so good!! The eggs were cooked perfectly, the rye toast was seeded which is more flavorful than seedless! The bacon was crispy, just the way I like it and the potatoes were seasoned exceptionally well- like you would at home! Zero complaints!!

    SHRIMP & GRITS
    Jasmeet M.

    I love coming here and finding a seat at the counter. Forewarning, they always have amazing specials and it's always difficult to decide what to order because everything sounds delicious! Briana was my server at the counter, she was able to help me make a decision and narrow down what to order and she did not steer me wrong! I order the shrimp and grits and got three eggs over easy instead of the scrambled. The grits were perfectly cheesy, the shrimp has a nice kick as well! It's always packed for good reason but the service is always too notch which a very family cozy feel!

    Great place. With best friend. Hopalong Casualty.
    Rich B.

    When best friend, Hopalong Casualty, and I get together, it's usually memorable. Such was the case on this day. He Amtraked up from NYC; I drove down from Windsor Locks. We arrived at SSC during breakfast, and luckily snagged the last open table. Michelle greeted us and kept us well caffeinated. Eclectic menu. Hopalong opted for a short stack of banana nut pancakes (w/o nuts, haha). I had the Mighty Green omelet with a side of grits. My omelet contained spinach, avocado, asparagus and broccoli, and was perfectly prepared. For me, the star of the show was (were?) the grits. Smoothest I ever inhaled. Hopalong raved about his pancakes as well as the accoutrements of the men's room where a visit (or three) is mandatory. Michelle checked on us numerous times. Everything about SSC was excellent. When we left, the waiting area was full. 5 yummy stars

    CARROT CAKE PANCAKES , and 2 X 2 X 2 .
    Schein P.

    Because of a local acquaintance's recommendations, we stopped by for breakfast. He ordered the 2 x 2 x 2 (2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 pieces of French toast and home fries). Everything was excellent but he insisted the home fries needed peppers. Meanwhile, I was deep diving into a stack of carrot cake pancakes. Yum!! The coffee was flowing and refills at the ready.

    CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES

    Tastyyy!! The staff was friendly, the place is good size to comfortably sit in and eat. Stopped there on my way back to New York from Springfield.

    Mango chicken wrap

    This place is so freaking good! I'm a little bit obsessed with it. Every time I have been there, it is very crowded. Give yourself time to wait to be seated. Or just grab seats at the counter, there is usually room and that's first come first serve. The well done home fries from this place are literally heaven sent!. I was not a fan of my scrambled eggs because I like my scrambles lumpy. These were more like an omelette with no bits in the middle. The cinnamon roll pancake was out of this world! Definitely order that! Despite how crazy busy this place is, it does not feel chaotic. The facility is clean and well loved. The staff is friendly and hustles to keep pace with the demand. The parking can get a little busy, but there is a large lot in the back.

    2 Eggs, ham, sourdough, home fries

    We havn't been in a few years, but the place hasn't changed a bit. Cute diner with super quick service. Our waitress was so nice. The wraps we got were delicious, especially the buffalo chicken one. I would recommend their lunch as much as their breakfast!

    Martin G.

    Really good breakfast food. At first, our server was a little standoffish, but seemed to warm up eventually. Despite the long line, we only waited about 10 mins to get in. Great neighborhood spot.

    We love this place! Great breakfast dishes and creatively delicious specials. Customer service is great! Food is delicious!

    Specialty Menu
    Gabriela C.

    Beware of hidden fees... We ordered one entree and two drinks and were charged $50. There's no prices on the menus and I ended up unhappy with my entree. I was told since there's nothing wrong with it that they can't take it back. Tread with caution a side will run you about $9 and always ask the price when ordering. Don't recommend. I was waiting up front for someone to seat us for about 20 minutes and there was a line with no one attending the host station. Messy, disorganized and lack of courtesy. Try any other diner down the street.

    Do they serve breakfast all day?

    They are only open til 2p and yes they are strictly a brunch spot.

    Is this place good for a group of about 10?

    They have a room in back that has tables that can be pushed together, but I would definitely call ahead for a party that big.

    We were staying in Hamden for the weekend and since we don't know the area, did a quick search and…read morefound a couple of options. Brian stone was closer but I skipped over it based on the rating and the pictures of the decor. We drove a little farther to State street Cafe and it was too busy, so we drove to Brown Stone. Stepping in reminded me of "The Pantry" in LA. A little run down, stuck in time with the decor, but a recognized local favorite and food go to for those that know. Brown Stone had the same vibe and feel as soon as we went In. I loved seeing the locals and the staff immediately greeted us and attended to us, bringing some coffee. Breakfast items are relatively simple, nothing fancy here, nor were we looking for it. I just wanted a good meal. I ordered the avocado and ham omelette special and my wife the egg and Belgian waffle. Breakfast came out quick, hot, and good! I was pleasantly surprised, and should not have been so judgy. Like the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. Looking forward to going back tomorrow morning. I'll take some photos to add to this later.

    This is an A1 place for breakfast/brunch. Eggs are incredibly fresh. I have had scrambled, over…read moreeasy and eggs Benedict which was among the best I've had. Also a good selection of lunch items. The staff is friendly and efficient. Because the decor seems old and untouched sjnce the 50's. 'one is pleasantly surprised by the products that appear on your plate. Parking lot free and close. Check out menu online.
