OT: Best Omlettes in Northeast

[Brettloaf]

So I am going to be driving up from around NYC area up to Kennebunkport, Maine and am a HUGE diner guy. Was looking for any diner recommendations along the way.

The. Best.

O'Rourkes Diner - Home

Monroe Diner in Monroe, CT. This spot is relatively new, opened roughly 5 years ago. Ability to customize your omelet with basically any fresh ingredient you could think of. Best part is the large portion size.

FYI- if you're looking for a non omelet item, homemade cheese blintzes are a MUST

Maybe too close to your destination but Becky's Diner in Portland ME is awesome.

On the way, Traveler Restaurant just off of I-84 in Union CT is fun. That's the place with the big sign that says FOOD and BOOKS. It's filled with used books and you are encouraged to take one with you when you leave. Browsing for the right book helps pass the time before your meal comes. I consider this a diner because when I ever stop in I get the Open Faced Hot Turkey sandwich with mashed and gravy.

Cosmic Omlette in Manchester, CT is pretty damn good. It's always packed but has quick service and very reasonable prices.

Mitchell's in Cromwell. The. Best. Pancakes. On. Earth. Everything is good there, but holy crap the pancakes are good.

Vernon Diner just off I-84. It's in an old Howard Johnson's. Open 24 hours.

Check out Egg and I and the Omellete Factory in Ogunquit Maine. Those are my two favorite spots I know of in NE, quite the coincidence that you are going to that exact area.

Iron Town Diner, Saugus, MA. Near junction of I-95 and I-93, not too far out of your way.

Second this. Still one of my favorite spots of all time. Back when i was in my teens (mid 2000's) i went there with my folks and they had a dish on the breakfast menu that came with four different kinds of bacon. FOUR!

Honestly, it's hard to mess up an Omellete, but it's also really hard to make a 10/10 omelette so there its definitely a worthy hunt.

I'm not scrolling through this whole thread, but I'll assume Brettloaf's mom's house was already picked by several?

My house.

Next we're going to have the best peanut butter and jelly.

Canned corned beef hash. I like the Cromwell Diner off I-91 better. They make their own corned beef hash. Plus, it seems to be a pretty tight ship when I go. Your coffee stays full and the food comes out hot and in a timely manner.

O'Rourkes Diner in Middletown.

The White Barn in Kbport is the place for big dinner. Bring your wallet, and dinner jacket. They wouldn't sit Pres Bush )a local / resident) w/o a jacket.

Wow this is interesting. I no longer live in CT but my sole experience at Monroe Diner was nothing to write home about. Very average service and very average food IMO.

Now Chip's in Fairfield on the other hand is absolutely money. An absolute must stop, the eggs are great and you get a very good quantity. Also have to try the pancakes.

Hope this helps!

So, I always heard about Chip's and was excited when they opened one in Wethersfield. I was blown away by how mediocre it was.

Lots of sausage in Ogunquit! (...if that appeals to you)

 

[Rocktheworld]

Thread City Diner in Willimantic

Get a pancake too

The Maine Diner in Wells is near Kennebunkport and is very popular.

Thanks for the thread. From the Subject, I expected little & thinking, "Who can't make a better omelet at home?" and instead have gottem lots of good suggestions. Happy eating.

The Stamford Diner for anything breakfast, all good but the sausage and mushroom omelette I had once was terrific.
