My hamburger was way overcooked and dry. The hashbrowns were very good. The pie wasn't good at all. Maybe it was old but 2 bites and we were done. It started filling up as we left.

There are very few tables in this small restaurant, so we ended up waiting quite a bit and then had to push two tables together. It didn't matter much since we were still waiting for some of our other family members to arrive, but just know if you have a group larger than 3-4, you'll likely end up waiting at least 30 minutes. The food was overall satisfying. I got the cranberry, turkey, and Brie sandwich with the soup of the day, which happened to be bacon cheeseburger. Both were yummy! At the end, we got sold on the desserts in the window (me and my partner on the chocolate creme pie). They were all good as well! The only thing keeping this place from 5 stars was the service. From the time we entered, we felt like an inconvenience. A party of six shouldn't be too much to handle, but we were apparently too much. We didn't get much attention unless we flagged someone down. Overall, I liked the food and the feel of this place, but I wouldn't come back unless I was with only one other person!

So good, melty and cheesy and the bread was so good. Staff was very friendly. If you are in the New London-Spicer area check it out. And try the gorgeous desserts that were in the case. They also have coffee drinks, beer and wine.

Food was great. Price is reasonable. We both had omelettes. The cheese added a creamy layer.read more

He ordered very, very rare, and explained to the waitress that he wanted it even rarer than the photo shown as rare on the menu. When it arrived, it was well done. He sent it back, and the second steak was medium well done! He ate part of it, but when you order an expensive steak, you should get what you ordered. Many had there food arrive overdone, and COLD! My wife ordered onion rings - they arrived hot, but burned - even the onion inside was BLACK - the waitress offered to bring her new ones, but she declined. ( Who wants to get their food when everyone else is already finished eating?) Even people who got their food on grill platters had cold food, because the grill plates themselves were ice cold! I think the people that had ordered shrimp were content with their food, but most were not happy. Sorry, but I don't think our group will be visiting again any time soon. It's a shame, because the old Budger's restaurant was an awesome place to eat!
