I must say, this diner is growing on me. Each time I come, I try something new and I have never been disappointed. On this Valentine's weekend, they were much busier than usual. We were seated immediately and our order arrived piping hot. My grits could've been creamier but the taste was perfect - not too salty. My omelette was turned into a sandwich with my rye toast. We left satisfied but not stuffed. A perfect way to start the day. read more

Their veggie omelette doesn't come with cheese by default. I don't know what kind of decision making led to this, or how I failed to notice it and then it arrives at my house and its just a big ol' egg full of vegetables and no cheese. Did I do something to bring this upon myself? Is this karma for my decisions in a past life? Idk I've never been inside, I'm sure its just like every other diner you've been in. I should probably order another kind of food before I go popping off on Yelp, but the cheese-related trauma is real read more

Do not order the chicken and waffles. I tried to suggest to my husband that he chose something different as I just had a feeling. While the waffle was good, the chicken was commercial chicken tenders. Not understanding why fresh chicken is not used My omelette was good, can't really go too wrong here I was hoping for to order a specialty pancake dish, but nothing interesting on the menu read more

This is the first time I ever felt the need to review anything! Steer far away from this place. Absolutely disgusting. Fries were cold turkey burger smelt like dog food and my girlfriend's cake was sour. My burger was a hockey puck and cold. I called the owner and told him what happened and the response was don't order from hear again. Gee thanks I didn't need any convincing. read more

The interior looks nice. The service is great. THE FOOD IS THE BEST!!! Never leave on an empty stomach. Can always take some home. BLT deluxe with sweet potato fries is my favorite. Omelettes never disappoint. SUPER! read more

Food is always hot and delicious. The menu is amazing with a lot of options to choose from. The owners and staff are pleasant and helpful. Whether you're dining in, picking up or ordering from a delivery service, they stand behind the great food they serve. My favorite diner in the area by far. Competitive prices and generous portions . read more

Food is always delicious...wait staff very courteous and friendly. And the service is great

Good food, good service. Finding a 24hr diner with good food and good prices is hard to come by so Three Brothers Diner is a gem. The food is consistent and the pricing is good for the value. I usually order breakfast but the menu is extensive, several pages long and incorporates a little something for me everyone breakfast, lunch and dinner. Salads, meat, pasta options and much much more. I highly recommend Three Brothers Diner. read more

There was a bug aka flys in my sisters drink they had an attitude when we left and asked us if we were leaving so 1 star

Very good value for what you get. They have large portions and very reasonable prices. The service was very good.

I ordered an omelette and potato dish, and grits. It was probably the worst breakfast I've ever had.

Place is great, way better than acropolis and Hamden town house, delicious food and nice staff never s single complaint

This is the most customer-friendly restaurant I've ever encountered. They pay SO MUCH attention to special requests (extra cheese? Done. Extra sauce? Done. Hollandaise on the side of an omelet? Sure). Great prices for absolutely perfect diner food. So rare, so good! read more

We moved to the area six months ago and I always passed this place by in my search for sushi, up in Hamden. Today, I craved a BLT so decided after reading reviews here to go. The minute I walked in I felt welcomed. I sat at the lunch counter and was given my requested water. The waiter gave me a menu and told me to take my time. I looked at the menu just to see if something else would catch my eye. Then I ordered my BLT on whole wheat. It could not have been more than three minutes later, out comes my lunch with a pickle! I love sandwiches with pickles because it reminds me of lunch counters of yore. Many years ago, most people out for lunch or even at home ate a sandwich for lunch and maybe a piece of fruit. Today, everything comes with French fries. Why are we so fat today? I say it's the fries. The BLT was delicious with ripe tomatoes, crispy bacon and plentiful lettuce. Didn't mind the mayo either! For $4.50, it was a bargain. I left a $2 tip for the fine service. I shall return. read more

I have been a loyal customer of this establishment for probably 30 years but recently I have decided to no longer use this establishment because there's a young kid in there and he's very rude. I asked for no Styrofoam and he yelled at me about being too busy to worry about that shit. And since then every time I go in there I end up getting Styrofoam anyway... That may not be a big deal to other people but I'm a paying customer and I don't like to use Styrofoam because it's very bad for the environment. I tried to be patient but it's been more than three times now that I've gone in there and this kid has given me my purchase filled With Styrofoam and attitude. That tells me either he does not respect me as a customer or they just don't need my business...so I won't buy from there again read more

On a business conference trip, I looked around for a breakfast place near the hotel that I could sit and eat at before the 8:00am start. From the options presented, Three Brothers Diner seemed most ideal. After being dropped off by a Lyft driver, I went inside to be warmly greeted by the staff. It helped to see a couple of regulars at the bar, drinking their coffee and eating breakfast, to know that this is a locals' spot. I ordered the "Meat Lovers Omelette" and coffee. Certainly it was not the best omelette of my life. The coffee wasn't the best coffee in the world. What I did get, however, is warm and professional service - the kind you can only find in a local family restaurant like this one that can make you feel like you're one of the regulars even though you're from 3,000 miles away. The food was good. It wasn't great, and it wasn't horrible. The service was excellent. The recent remodel made the place look and feel clean. The news on the TV, regulars complaining away about their work, and the waitress talking about her grandsons filled my ambiance as I ate my breakfast. it was a pleasant experience. I liked it here. read more

Great fare selection! Wonderful and reliable delivery with food at the right temperature.

I purchased two sandwiches through their delivery service. At first the sandwich seemed to be a little tasty. But then it started to taste like the sandwich had mold in it. So I decided to throw it away along with the other food that I ordered. Definitely not worth the 25.00 I paid. Didn't expect to get moldy tasting food. read more

Delivery service is the best in town.. food was decent! If your in a hurry and want quality food place your order. Never got food so fast lol literally read more

This place has become pretty tried and true for me over the last year. Consistently good quality, always early or on time, always receive everything I've ordered. read more

Huge menu for a diner. Omelet was awesome with toast and french fries. Can upgrade to curly fries for an additional charge. Extremely fast and very inexpensive. Friendly waiter who never left our glasses empty. The menu was so big it was difficult choosing a selection. Tuna sandwich was ordered by accident, but was good, dark tuna meat, though. Would definitely go back if in the mood for good, cheap, and fast food, not mcd's fast though. Old, outdated atmosphere and building, but clean with good food. read more

Very quiet inside when I arrived. Nice grape leaves and a delicious gyro preparation. Polite service; basic service. Not fancy. Good food; value priced. read more

Normally pretty good, get delivery from them regularly. Ordered a Turkey dinner (mashed potatoes, veggies, and stuffing) with gravy on the side. They forgot my veggies, slathered the dish in gravy AND put gravy on the side, and substituted the stuffing for four pieces of soggy white bread. They offered to fix the order, but I was not interested. This is the second time they've made a similar mistake, and I will not be ordering from them again. read more

Three Brothers is usually good but I ordered a scrapple and egg sandwich and only got an egg sandwich it was delivered they refused to believe they didn't put the meat up there saying I received the sandwich they wouldn't refund me on their mistake NOT PUTTING THE MEAT ON THE SANDWICH MUST BE THEIR PRACTICE BECAUSE THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME. read more

Every morning my two roommates and I would wake up in dread and anticipation of yet another twelve-hour work day selling educational books door-to-door in Connecticut. None of us had any business being there: one of my roommates and I were students at Berkeley, and the third was from the University of Central Florida. We all embarked on this journey for what we felt would be the defining moment of our young lives. After all, what better way to have a memorable summer than turn down other jobs, fight with family and friends, and drive over three thousand miles to get to a place where life had existed in its set fashion before us, and exists undisturbed in the least after us. We would pile into David's Toyota Camry and drive down Whitney Avenue, make a left onto Putnam and then another left onto Dixwell. We would pull into the parking lot of the diner and see the same pick-up in the same spot, the Cadillac in the handicapped space--the usuals. My roommates and I had our rituals during breakfast. For instance, emulating the old-timers in the diner we would insist on sitting in the same booth every day. We would harmonize to the Alphabet song, and idiotically blurt out the opening to "2001: Space Odyssey" while waiting for our food. And the food was reassuringly predictable. I always had one egg sunny-side up, hash browns, and wheat toast. My roommate Rupert always had one egg over easy, hash browns, and wheat toast. David had the short stack drenched in syrup and mashed into little bits, and an egg sandwich. Monday to Saturday, for ten weeks straight. Once we went there in the evening for dinner, expecting more of the same gray weariness that pervaded the space in the mornings. But to our surprise, the restaurant was crowded with families, teenagers, and unfamiliar servers. We had our plain hamburgers (not deluxe--which would have given us lettuce, tomato, and pickles), drank our cokes, and hurriedly made our exits. read more

Solid place. Classic in every sense minus the old school jukebox. Staff is friendly. Service is prompt. Your coffee cup won't stay empty for long no matter what time of day it is. A neighborhood fixture. Expanded the menu some over the last year as well to give more options. read more

Just had the double bacon cheeseburger deluxe perfect ratio of meat to bread. Cooked perfectly. Juicy and intense beef flavor. The bun held up nicely throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend this product. read more

Three Brothers Diner - Waffles Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

I don't know if it was because it was a Saturday night, Easter, or what but the service was awful. As a server/bartender, I expect a lot from other servers no matter what because I know how I am as a server. I tip very well to great service and I tip bad to poor service and tonight was beyond poor. The manager on duty didn't even acknowledge me when I walked in the door. No server came over to me until 15 minutes later. The server that ended up taking my order never refilled my coffee and had me sitting for 20 minutes after I was done to give me my check. And the worst part of it is that it was completely dead in the diner. read more

Everything you could want in a diner--great food, friendly service, relaxed atmosphere. Our 4yo declared the grilled cheese to be the best she'd ever had (and she knows her way around a grilled cheese). The sweet potato fries are outstanding, as is the gyro quesadilla (!). We liked it so much we went two days in a row. Plus, they deliver!! read more

The food service is good just don't use your debit or credit card too much fraudulent crap going on there and it takes them forever for them to Correct it. So sad read more

Classic diner-- basic menu, some of the items we ordered were good (gyros, waffle), some not good at all (cream of broccoli soup, cake). read more

Fast service. Ordered banana pancakes. They were delicious and fluffy. Clean, classic diner vibe. Not fancy, but comfortable. Friendly staff. read more

I like this place but sometimes it's frustrating for instance tonight I ordered a turkey sandwich with Swiss, spicy brown mustard. But 2 dollars for only two small pieces of bacon?! While the majority of my sandwich is just turkey meat. If you're going to pile on meat you can do the same with bacon to even it out. read more

Gross. I was led astray by the previous reviewers. Granted, diners and diner food ain't fancy, but the food here was slop. Had the ham and eggs and got a slice as thin as you'd get with a meat slicer at a deli. Eggs were overdone, too. Do yourself a favor and pass this place by. read more

Used to come here years ago used to love this diner, ordered omelet fries and wheat toast, older lady waitrress brings my food to the table with her thumb in my eggs , yuck , she brings my toast the same way sunny thumbs in ,sorry to say fries were soggy and I ordered a plate of fries for grand, soggy as well , I cut all the parts where her thumb touched which was half of my toast and parts of omelet but in the back of my mind , im constantly thinking where else could those thumbs touched on my food , so between the thumbs and soggy fries i left disgusted and broke and will be hungry in 10 minutes never again, usually in events like this i talk shit and have food removed from the bill but bc the waitress was old I kept my mouth shut, my grandma always said if you have nothing nice to say , i never ever writw reviews , that how disgusted read more
