    2 eggs, hash browns toast and one meat . I got the hash .
    Gus C.

    My 1st time here, out on a day trip and drove an hour before stopping for breakfast. I'm sad it's so far away , it's great . It would be my #1 breakfast joint . The service was quick and friendly , the meal was perfect and plentiful. My coffee was always full . My only advice would be if you want your hash browns or hash a little crunch , make sure you ask for well done . Good Job !

    2 scrambled eggs, home fries with onions, bacon an wheat toast. Coffee.

    One day my boyfriend and I decided we wanted to try a new breakfast spot so after some searching we went here! It's a cute little spot with great staff. They sat us quickly, even though it was pretty busy. The portions are amazing and so are the prices. We both ordered the big willie which offers: three eggs, home fries, a meat, and pancakes/French toast, toast, and drink. The food was cooked fast and was hot!!! We both added strawberries and whip cream for our French toast. My second time going I ordered the big willie again except getting a chocolate chip pancake instead of French toast and it was HUGE !! The portions are so big we never finish could share if we could. Will definitely keep coming back, anytime I think about breakfast this place comes to mind

    3 people & didn't leave a dent in the food!

    Yum! Yum! Ugh!! So much food, such a small stomach! We got 2 plates for 3 people & we needed 3 more people to finish it! Great value!

    How is it 2011 and Thread City Diner hasn't been reviewed on Yelp? Makes no sense... (oh, no wonder why I couldn't check in with my iPhone searching nearby places in Willimantic) First, the place is jam-packed. Second, the food was great (might explain why it was so busy). I'll get the one missing star out of the way - there's slow because you're busy, slow because you're better than a grille cook working at a diner and can't manage the demanding pace of a huge diner packed to the sidewalk with patrons, and then there's Friendly's (where's my F-bombin' food already?!) slow... When you're really hungry any kind of slow makes the corner of the table look appetizing. I have to put Thread City not quite in Friendly's class (that would be too mean). On the plus side - the western omelet with cheddar was the size of an average diner placemat and thickness approaching a quiche. Cooked to perfection, I liked the not too small, not too big sized cuts of ingredients. I had grilled sourdough toast. I was expecting something skimpy. I apparently got the center cut of the loaf - 2 HUGE pieces - DEElish! Homefries were that perfect crispy-not-too-crispy outside. My girlfriend's side of bacon was heartstopping yummy massive slices. Everything at this place is massive. Well, my Diet Coke wasn't massive, but the service on the refill was good and our waitress was courteous about the delay with our food. Overall, a great diner outing in the end. 6' 3" and I probably packed on 5 lbs. before I left and I couldn't clear the plate. That's a winner! Can't wait to go back.

The waitress wasn't obviously rude but she was disinterested, seemed annoyed, and just radiated malcontent. It made the visit uncomfortable. Now to the BIGGEST problem. The food. The servings were unacceptably small for the price. If it was a Michelin rated restaurant expect high prices but not at a diner. I could get twice what we were served for the same price else where and it would be about the same quality if not slightly better. The fish was really good. The absolute worst part was my mother's meal. It looked like slop and was stone cold. The potatoes were so runny it was more potato soup than mashed potatoes. She had me try it and it was obviously out if the fridge and not properly prepared. After waving down the waitress she with attitude, like the busperson was more helpful, "can't have that". The plate was gone maybe 2 minutes. They put FRIED CHICKEN in the microwave. With the prices they charge this is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE. We decided to leave before we finished as we were now uncomfortable and wildly disappointed. We will be finding a different diner in the future.

Service was acceptable, but lacking in level of personality or engagement. For me, these characteristics are memorable and would help inspire me to come back. The food was as described on the menu, but equally lacking in pizazz. My Mexican Bowl was lukewarm and my friends' burgers were both well-done, despite only one of them asking for it being this way, and the fries were overcooked. I like crispy, but not to the over-the-top degree to which they were done. Bottom line: Eat here if you are hungry and your needs will be met, but this place could use a lift in sparkle and quality.

During my last visit it was relatively quiet, so I took a seat and went through the menu. My server was very friendly and professional. I took her recommendations and got the churro crepes and peppermint latte. Latte came out quick, same with the crepe. The latte was very sweet, lots of sugar and mint. Coffee flavor was obliterated, and was a bit much for me. Informed my server, offered a drip coffee as a replacement but I opted against. The crepe was going to be a lot of sugar too, so just sent it back. She communicated with her team to watch the syrup pours for future drinks, which is a good proactive move. The churro crepes. Conceptually is a good idea. The cheesecake filling was tasty and a reprieve from the avalanche of caramel syrup and sugar. The churros were warmed up but the server was very honest that they were not made on the spot. Outside of the churro was crunchy and inside was stuffed. The crepe was not warm, so I don't think it was made fresh to order either. When I asked the server, she insisted it was made to order. The price was 21 for the latte and crepe. The price of the crepe was high for the quantity and quality. The latte was reasonable for price, but might want to ask to go light on the syrup. Given the location, it's one of the few breakfast spots around that area. It's not bad, but they do price accordingly for the lack of competition. It's not a trek place, but it's one of the few options around without driving 15 minutes. If you need breakfast in that area, then it works.
