Center Street Luncheonette: Reviews & Ratings
Had the best scrambled eggs and home fries at Center Street. The freshness and flavor of everything was so good and cooked perfectly. On my previous visit, the french toast was equally great. Add in the friendly service and this place is a true gem.
The food here is very good. Every time I come it never fails. The waitresses here are always on top of things never leaving you waiting for service. This time around I got the homemade corn beef hash delicious!!! No waiting long and food comes out fresh and hot mmmmmmm! This establishment is small but it feels like home. The atmosphere is like being at a family member's house. I will be a regular enjoy this place very much.
OMG! this place is the Bomb! I had the monster Bacon Veggie omelette with the bacon on the side! Friendly staff and a traditional cafe with counter and booth seating where you can watch the Maestro at work! Parking on street and behind the restaurant?
Delicious, healthy breakfast! Very nice and fast service! I would recommend highly this place!
Location great Food greater Servers greatest Favorite place to go for a consistent tasty breakfast!!
Such a cute little spot. The decor inside is very homey and classically American. Actually the whole establishment screams American breakfast nook and I love that. They were fairly busy when we went. We were seated promptly and served soon after. The portions are very good, and filling. The food was very good too! The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, the powdered sugar on top was great. The star of the show was definitely the home fries though. They were legit cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. My boyfriend had the corn beef hash and he quite enjoyed it! Could only split the bill 2 ways which I can see being a problem for bigger parties...but great spot, little pricy. Great great will come again.
The food, the service, the ambiance, I love it all here! I am always looking for good breakfast spots and this one is my Wallingford favorite. The staff is so welcoming and the food is always fresh and delicious. The only con is that they aren't open all day long. If you want to stop by, you might miss it and you will be missing out.
This is a great spot! Great little hole in the wall breakfast spot right in the center of town! Good food & coffee!! The menu was not extremely overwhelming but had just enough options for everyone! My husband had the hearty breakfast (2 thick slices of French toast, 2 slices of bacon , 2 eggs, and potatoes)with an extra side of bacon. He had his potatoes cooked a little well done due to his preferences, he got his eggs over medium and they were cooked to perfection. The French toast was thick and was very tasty only downside was that they did not provide fresh syrup they provided packets of syrup. I had the vanilla yogurt with fruit and granola. The fruit was very fresh and the yogurt was cold! I also had a side of scrambled eggs which were fluffy and cooked perfectly. The service was fast and professional. Our waitress was sweet and on top of everything. The restaurant is clean and appealing. There is just enough seating and even a bar style seating area. You can see your food being cooked right in front of you! Such a great place to go on a weekend with your significant other, family or on your own!
