Cute, clean place with terrific servers and nice noise level…read more Unfortunately I wasn't thrilled with my omelette. Yes I'm kind of picky, but it was overcooked and dry (one side looked brown like a pancake that they had folded the ingredients into). I did tell the server. She felt badly but didn't offer a break or a new one. Hubby's meat lover type omelette was slightly better perhaps due to the melted American cheese inside. We both upgraded from home fries to fruit cups, and that too was disappointing. Were the exception of grapes, you couldn't tell which fruit you were eating. I'll grant you it's early in the season but pre-cut fruit sitting in watery liquid is bound to lose flavor and texture. I'm glad so many people like it, and don't want to yuck their yumm, but we won't return.

I really can't say enough good things about this place. We were meeting family here, driving up…read morefrom Connecticut, got caught in horrendous traffic, and wound up arriving an hour late, 50 minutes before closing, expecting to get the stink eye since there was only one other table that was just finishing up. Instead we got great service, friendly and very efficient, almost like their mission was to--surprise!--make sure we had a great dining experience. We are traveling musicians and often wind up coming to restaurants within their last hour, and believe me this type of customer service is, sadly, not the norm. On to the food. The food! I started with the blood orange martini, very tasty and refreshing after our long drive. Nice basket of warm chewy bread arrived at the table almost immediately, yum! I had the Aracini (risotto balls) appetizer which was delicious and fairly authentic, done to perfect crispness with an accompanying red pepper cream sauce. The forks came out all around and everyone agreed that this app was first rate. My partner had the special salmon entree with dijon sauce, highly highly recommended if this item is on the menu. I had the ginger soy tuna dish with noodles, quite good. But for me, the standout dish was the pot roast ordered by my friend, wow!! I'm not normally a fan of pot roast but the meat was super tender and the sauce completely delectable. I was only going to take a taste, but wound up taking three, and had to restrain myself from taking more, it was so good. My partner can't finish a meal without dessert and coffee, and even though we knew they were probably trying to close up, they brewed some coffee for him and comp'ed us a creme brulee (perfectly done) for the table. Just straight up great service. We've eaten at the Common Man in Claremont and I think somewhere else, and they're always great. I think the Nantucket pie is a standard on the menus and it is a winner--scallops, shrimp, haddock AND lobster baked in a creamy lobster sauce topped with Ritz cracker crumbs in classic New England fashiom. It looks like they have several restaurants and a couple of diners up and down I-93 and Route 3 in New Hampshire under different names, would like to try them all. But it would be hard to resist coming back to this location for another great meal. My tastes tend to run to funky ethnic joints but I would come back to this place any time. Thanks to the staff at CM for making us feel so very welcomed after that long drive.

The New England pot roast was also good, but I feel like the flavor of the gravy could use some improvement, it didn't taste like beef, just like overcooked carrots.

First time at this spot and enjoyed dinner with friends. All of us were happy with our meals…read moreoverall, although there could be room for improvement. Service was good, pleasant and food came from the kitchen promptly. Note that they do not have a full liquor license. We started with the shepherds pie egg rolls, which were quite good. Generous portion and tasty, and an unusual twist on egg roll filling. I had the burger and ordered one with candied bacon which was delicious. I've had better and worse burgers. While the meat patty and toppings were good, the bun was unusual, firm almost hard and frankly not enjoyable. I ate the burger sans bun. Also the fries seemed like they were sitting for a while, a pet peeve of mine. They really need to be fried to order or I won't eat them. If you are going to splurge and eat fries, they have to be good, and sadly these were not. Again, overall we were happy. With a little more attention to detail, this could be a great dining spot.

It seems like a lot of opinions about this place range from the heights of "excellent" to "worst…read moredining experience ever". It's a fascinatingly intriguing tale, to say the least. I guess, depending on who you are, you could land on either side of the spectrum. At the risk of stating so in presumed ambivalence, my assessment of this newfound breakfast diner ranges somewhere in the middle. This is mostly due to service being pretty stellar, whilst the food was....alright. We gotta get into it. Upfront, it's worth mentioning that after placing our food orders, the meals were out in less than 10 minutes. I was honestly surprised! And whilst this is most certainly a win, it couldn't make up for some of the faux pas in execution. So, I get the hash n' eggs (like I do in most places), along with some homefries and an English muffin. The hash was delicious (and canned, if that matters to anyone) and the eggs were fresh and tasty. The English muffin was actually grilled, which is interesting...since they never really asked me whether I wanted it toasted or grilled. Doesn't matter much to me though. I'll take it either way. The homefries, believe it or not, are what bring this dish down a bit. In fact, it seems both of their breakfast potato sides have problems. I'll try to explain.. The homefries somehow came out in multiple forms of "doneness", depending on which pieces I attempted to eat. This basically meant that they ranged from decently tender on the inside with a seared outside, to slightly overcooked, to cooked to f*@k. Some pieces even resembled that of charcoal. Wifey got hashbrowns with her quiche of the day (which was apparently under seasoned) and those were totally undercooked. In short, one side was overcooked whilst the other was undercooked. Perhaps the cooks operate on the BPD scale of quality assurance. Perennial plant problems aside, I mostly enjoyed my meal. My other two guests thought their quiches could have been better seasoned. The coffee was decent. At least it wasn't a light breakfast blend. Couple other things that bugged me about this place were the dining area being so cramp, walking to the restroom is like a mouse running through the maze for cheese; not to mention the parking situation outside. It's....IMHO, pretty stupid. Okay. Picture this. You got two entrances. Either of these could be the "front" one, depending on your perspective. There's also two entrance points to the parking lot. Only....no. Turns out...the one closest to the true front entrance of the diner has a "DO NOT ENTER" sign on it. Which means if you enter the parking lot the way you're supposed to, you end up pulling up to the side entrance - which you can't use anyway. And then there's the annoying practice of folks being allowed to parallel park in front of the diner, inevitably creating a bottle neck effect for any cars deciding to pass through there. The only other parking options available are along that side entrance I mentioned earlier, or behind the building which....feels wrong to me somehow. I can't quite explain why though. Overall, they weren't bad. But I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to return. Which kinda sucks, considering they aren't very far from where I live. At least their prices aren't too bad. I'm giving The DW Diner 3 savory plates of hash n' eggs out of 5.

What I remember from my adolescence was the homey and friendly essence of Charlie's, the food? I was a kid... I don't remember. Since coming back home from college and through my holiday breaks, Charlie's has been my go-to breakfast/brunch spot, thanks to my mother (she's the regular holding the mimosa). I can go with friends, family, or by myself and still have the best time and food. Cannot say enough good things about the staff, this is a small business with REALLY hard workers. Every day I come in, they are always working hard and making friends. I crave the food when I am not near and cannot say enough good things about the pancakes, crispy bacon, kielbasa, and potato pancakes. Food comes before you're even ready!

** Patty Melt review **…read more Roadside eatery in a tiny strip plaza. Outside, it looks nothing like the classic New England train car style or New Jersey stainless steel style diners, but inside are countertop with stools, booths around the outskirts, and the hustle and bustle giving it a strong diner vibe. Like my visits to many diners, I was here on my patty melt quest. -- Patty Melt: First, the composition is faithful to the prototype, with a quarter pound patty (no smashburger nonsense), rye bread (no sourdough decoy), buttered (not merely toasted), and with the classic Swiss cheese, sautéed onions and thousand Island dressing. No fusion, no reinvention, no omissions, no hipster jive. Good crispness and butteriness on the bread, great melt on the cheese, and noticeable softness to the onions. Most importantly, the beef could be ordered medium rare, and they executed. More softness, with gushing juices and a really pleasing bite. I suspect nothing special to start with, but they cooked it to near perfection. Only quibble would be not much crust to the patty, but not as critical on a patty melt. -- Fries: I could have had tots or a few other options, but fries were fine. Almost certainly frozen, but the skin-on variety and not the dreaded coated kind. Nothing special, but good enough. Service was adequate. It seemed like everyone was prepping to get everything gathered and cleaned for closing about 90 minutes earlier than necessary, but that didn't detract. If anything, it shows initiative and hustle. Not much data to go on, but an easy 4 for me.
