Colony Diner & Restaurant
611 North Colony Road, Wallingford
- I'm vegan and I was amazed at the extent of their vegan menu choices! Unusual to find at a non vegan restaurant. They have an entire page dedicated to people who choose plant-based meals. This makes The Colony Diner a place for us … More to feel welcomed & included to enjoy a meal with our non vegan family and friends. I ordered the chickpea salad sandwich. It was immense and delicious! It came with a generous side of perfectly crisp French fries and a dill pickle. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great plant based meal who is dining with people who are looking for something more typical in diner food. The rest of my family thoroughly enjoyed their non vegan meals as well.
- Great breakfast place! Had the corned beef has under a mound of scrambled eggs! Big portions and clean well cooked food! Highly recommend eating here if you’re looking for a good feed to start the day!
- First time at this 24-hour diner. I ordered a panini with sweet potato French fries. The portions were larger than I could've imagined for the price. It was bursting with flavor. I was able to eat half and take the rest home for another … More full meal.
My partner ordered a chicken scampi. It was also bursting with flavor and large portioned. We loved being able to sample one another's meals and still have leftovers.
Our waitress was a beautiful, unique individual. I loved her personality.
We will definitely be coming back here. - Quiet tonight. Huge menu and everything is done correctly. We had the Cuban panini, fries, onion rings and a chipotle burger. Since it’s Pi day, we also had blueberry. Cannoli and lemon pie. All really yummy. Great portion sizes, enough … More to share. Our waitress was super-duper. She even gave us a cup of whipped cream to take home to our dog since it’s his birthday!
- These guys did a great job, incredibly detailed menu- I don't know how they offer that degree of variety. But they did a wonderful job with our two meals. Very generous portions, very reasonable prices. The restaurant is lovely and … More well decorated. I would say it spotless but the floor is sticky everywhere. Nonetheless I intend to be a regular there.
- I did an Uber Eats order tonight for the baked sole dinner! I called before to confirm soups and options I could take. The lady on the phone was super helpful as I had just gotten my wisdom teeth out yesterday and couldn’t eat anything … More hard. I wrote a note regarding this and they gave me a whole container of mashed potatoes and the fish was perfectly cooked. The soup was also amazing. Finally a filling meal after surgery. Thanks so much guys!
- Literally the pinnacle of American diner cuisine. A lot of places that have larger menus tend to have lower quality dishes, but this place is not one of them. All of the food is served fresh, and tastes delicious. Come here for brunch and … More you will not be disappointed.

- It's hard to find good diners now that I won't get sick from, and this was one of them. Our waitress was so kind and the fries were absolutely delicious. We'll definitely stop by if we happen to be in the area again!

- Amazing! One of the best diners I have been to. Friendly staff and a great selection of food. I am vegan so I was able to get a great meal with a plethora of choices. It’s great to be able to order vegan while my partner can get regular … More eggs! Will be back! Thanks for being so inclusive!
- My husband and I love eating here. Hands down, the best diner we have eaten at since we moved to Connecticut almost 2 years ago and try to eat here often. We have never had a bad meal here and the food is always so fresh and so delicious. … More The staff is always so friendly and attentive but they don't hover, but are there when you need them. My only gripe (and it's not a bad thing) is that the portions are huge and are great to take home. Sometimes we can't take it home as we are running errands, etc and wish there were smaller portions to choose from sometimes. My favorite is the Chicken Scampi and my husband says you have to try their stuffed pepper soup and I agree, it is so flavorful! But anything we have ordered is so delicious!
