Always worth the wait, their cinnamon French toast is off the charts and the butter they top it with is ridiculously good, it didn't need syrup,,I just want to shutdown my computer and head there right now 😀

I visited for the first time on Sunday morning. Timed it just right because we waited about 15 minutes. Jack's is located in a small shopping strip, a few doors down from the post office.Signage is kind of tricky because the sign has all of the other businesses on it, which makes it a lottle hard to see " Jack's".There is plenty of parking and is across the street from the hardware store.It is really cozy inside. The decor is that of Mel's diner or something late 70s to mid 80s.I did not mind the decor because the staff was great and can I tell you about the food?Ok, I will tell you about the food... The menu was abundant and accompanied by a special menu. The special menu included.... Orange Mimosa French Toast... WHAT??? Delicious is what.. I mean topped with sugar crystals and an orange garnished with the same and served with perfectly cooked chicken sausage. My heart smiled and my tummy fluttered when the waitress explained it.Three thumbs up Jack's!!! I guess there is a reason why this place is listed in the top 5 breakfast spots in CT.Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... they close at noon.Totally worth the trip and is DEFINITELY on the repeat list.

This was my first time here. I was looking for something with a little bit of a drive from my place and the reviews look good. The food was delicious. My friend and I both ordered the country restaurant scrambler. Hi then ordered one slice of the cinnamon French toast, which was so good. Our our waitress was super friendly and funny. We definitely will be going back there. There are several things on the menu I want to try. Their specials look good as well.

By far, the best breakfast place, not only locally, but in most of the CT! I come here quite often, I don't consider any other place. Staff is always friendly, food is always fresh, they use mostly local ingredients from farms in the area, especially during the season. I just wish they were open little longer, maybe until 2pm. But they will still serve you if you put your order in before 12pm. Do yourself a favor and give them a try, you want regretted!

Excellent breakfast! We sat outside on this beautiful Saturday morning and it was nice. My wife ordered eggs Benedict (her litmus test) and she said it was extremely tasty and one of the better and fresher ones she has had. I ordered the special which was a grilled cheese style breakfast sandwich with bacon and very fresh sliced tomato - it was DELICIOUS!! The coffee was great, and the home fries perfect! Some places under season and undercook home fries and they're lumpy and soft and gross. Not here - Jack's home fries were small cut, seasoned and crispy - absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back!

I’ve been going here for years, won’t be going anymore after the rude lady picked up the phone this morning, refused to let me say a word before she said they aren’t doing take out and hung up. I just wanted to know if there’s a wait. I’ll never come back.

Whenever I go out for breakfast, Jack's is the only place for me. The food is always excellent and comes to the table quickly by the friendly staff. My wife and daughter have Celiac disease, and Jack's has several gluten free options that they love. When it comes to a spot for breakfast, you can't do any better than Jack's

This is by far the best breakfast restaurant I have ever eaten at. When I go I get the French toast, eggs and bacon. My girlfriend gets the Eggs Benedict. She also feels that this is the best breakfast restaurant.

I've been going to Jack's for years. I watched it change hands. It is hard to take something that is already working well and established within a community; maintain that continuity of service, and increase the quality of the product. They have done that. Nicole and her team have continued to produce an establishment that serves quality products every time. Get there early, get at least one of the specials (they are worth it). If they are on the menu, the biscuits are a must-have, for they are some of the tastiest things to ever honor your body with and will keep you satisfied. Eggs— any style, are expertly prepared by any of the chefs on the line. The hollandaise sauce for the benedicts is otherworldly in its near perfection. The ingredients are fresh, and you can taste it. I've had the privilege to work in some really good restaurants with excellent crews. What they are doing at Jack's is unique and on a different level.

I stopped in here for some breakfast after hiking in the nearby parks and trails. I ordered two breakfast sandwiches for pickup and was excited to see how inexpensive they were! For $4 you can choose a meat and get two eggs and cheese on a Portuguese roll. The rolls were great and not too sweet, and they give you so much meat! While walking in to get the pickup order I saw folks sitting at the tables, and the hash browns look equally as good! Overall I'd recommend a stop in.
