“ I order shrimp and bacon omelette which not on the menu and they was able to make it. The food was hot and very delicious. Home fries was soft the way I like it. My root beer had the kick in it. Overall I will come back and try something out ”
“ Traveling north through Connecticut and Google maps sent me to Christy’s in Torrington. The diner is obviously adored by locals, and our waiter could not have been more charming. We were told the owners were Greek, so we ordered a Gyro and a Gyro platter. Food came fast and hot including delicious fries. We were in and out quickly as we needed to get back on the road. But highly recommend as an easy pull off of Route 8 and a fast delicious meal. ”
“ Food was pretty good, but the service was excellent. Very friendly staff. ”
“ My mom and I stopped in for lunch on Friday, pretty nice spot! My salad was huge and really good, my mom's sandwich and fries were good too. The meatball special was ok, the meatballs themselves were kind of dense and tasteless. Might be time to upgrade the recipe or maybe we got a bad batch! Overall good and will be back! ”
“ Big variety of food I got the BLT with Avacado , was the smallest amount of bacon I ever got anywhere but I love veggies so it still tastes good the French fries were good the turkey had a very strong taste and was quite dry from the patriot sandwich so if your ordering that I’d add lettuce or tomatoes for texture . This diner is very clean even in the bathrooms are clean the service is good and I’ll definitely go back cause if I order extra bacon and tell them chewy I’m sure it would be even better . Was 40$ for two sandwiches and only one came with fries the BLT didn’t which was odd . oH and the pickles are coleslaw are good which is huge for diners ..also my husband asked for extra turkey and you can see some turkey is more brown than other and he got a stomach ache after. Might have been more old . I’ll update when we try again update we love this diver the tzatziki sauce is so good and the grilled chicken I can just get plain and eat it like that that’s how delicious and juicy it is the baked potatoes are awesome. The clubs are awesome. ”
