Just Breakfast and Things

Just breakfast and things does the job right. The waitresses are very welcoming and quick. The homemade cinnamon raisin bread and corned beef hash are fantastic. I usually go for one of their omelettes however if you really want to treat yourself order up the stuffed french toast!

The diner has plenty of seating and the booths are small but cozy. It can get pretty busy here on a weekend mid morning so you may have to wait a few minutes but it's worth it

I ordered Togo upon entering the restaurant three employees were next the door they all looked at me not one person said hello. The blond with tattoos looked at me four times before she said anything, the fourth was working behind the counter l. My eggs were ordered over hard which is yellow and white cooked all the way through. My homefries were ordered burnt, the sausage was cooked on one side! An easy fix was to throw everything on the stove and cook it longer but the point in the principal is is when you walk into a restaurant it starts at your front door by greeting your customer and making them feel welcome to actually be in there!

Service was terrible. I went to eat with someone who is not white and the waitress acted like she was personally offended by us being there. The first time this happened we chalked it up to her having a bad day but when it happened again it was pretty obvious. I've gone there with other white people and the waitress was lovely so it's pretty clear what the problem was for her. Not to mention The food is mediocre breakfast food at best.

Service was awful. Lots of yelling and cursing. Out of a lot of items, slow and cold when finally arrived.

We've been staying in Griswold CT for at least 10 years when we come up to see concerts or shows at Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun. I can't believe we've never ventured down Route 12 South for breakfast, but we did today and now we will make this our go-to breakfast restaurant. We arrived around 10:40am on a Sunday and there was a line out the door! But we were told the wait wouldn't be more than 10 minutes. This is a small place and clearly a local favorite. Plenty of parking. We were greeted quickly and a full cup of coffee was served. Don't you hate when you only get half a cup of coffee? There were a few specials in addition to a full breakfast menu (they also serve lunch). Hubby and I both had eggs with homemade hash. I normally can't finish a full breakfast and usually pass on the home fries and toast but today hubby said he'd finish for me so I ordered the whole thing. Food arrived quickly and we were offered hot sauce options which I appreciated! The home fries were delicious...the potatoes and onions were diced and seasoned perfectly. I broke my own rule and ended up eating half of them myself. A generous amount of homemade hash was served on the side. It was crispy on the outside and just about the best hash I've had in quite a while. Very flavorful and nothing like hash that comes out of a can. I wish I took a picture of it! Overall I was very impressed with Just Breakfast & Things and will definitely come back and recommend them.

Decent little place. They do well. Staff is always friendly. Menu never changes and I have never seen specials.

Quintessential New England diner with great food and friendly service...highly recommend

Me and my girlfriend were looking for a quick place to get a quality, well priced, breakfast. I've heard good things about this place and was excited to try. It was close to my house and was easy to get to. Our waitress was phenomenal. She was new but so kind and helpful. She was quick and responsive and checked on us quite a bit. Our food was flavorful and came out quick. Prices were a good value and plates were piled high with food. I'm regretting not taking any pictures of my friends beautiful fruit filled crepes. Will definitely visit again really soon.

Absolutely love this diner! Frequently getting breakfast and lunch from here. Staff are super friendly and the food is amazing! Portions are big and the pricing is very fair. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great diner.

Best food in the area. Worth going. Nice little country dinner / breakfast place. Waitresses are always awesome
