Blue Colony Diner - Newtown, CT

Your wish is the Blue Colony kitchen's command: Anything possible to do with eggs for breakfast, they do it, with fine hash browns on the side. There are quite literally hundreds of hot meals, sandwiches, and salads. The dishes for which we return again and again are the chicken souvlaki plate, homemade split pea soup, and daily specials of stuffed mushrooms, corned beef with cabbage, and Yankee pot roast.

" The business card of the Blue Colony Diner says “E-Z ON, E-Z-OFF,” referring to its convenience at the end of the exit ramp from Interstate 84. But ease of access is not the only reason to stop at this diner by the side of the highway. One other good ..." [Read More].

"The Blue Colony recently underwent a major renovation, inside and out. It's almost complete, and we are happy to report that this modern oasis at the end of an exit ramp continues to offer a multi-page menu of blue-plate specials."
Michael Stern

"A cup of soup is part of each daily special. This day, one of the three choices was split pea -- heaped with delicious croutons."
Michael Stern

"The turkey is cut from a real roasted bird (not a "turkey roll"), and the mashed potatoes are real (not from powder). This is one superb hot sandwich!"
Michael Stern

"Blue Colony pastries are labeled "home-style," but we know of no home where the baked sweets are so immense."
Michael Stern

"This big heap of eggs is loaded with ham, bacon, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and lots of cheese. And those are some good hash browns on the side."
Michael Stern

"A triple decker cheeseburger club sandwich, with good French fries and a garlicky pickle"
Michael Stern

"Fork-tender corned beef comes heaped atop cabbage, sided by a soft boiled potato. With soup and a salad, this meal costs $5.20, plus beverage."
Michael Stern

"This is a SMALL Greek salad, piled with a very LARGE amount of good Feta cheese."
Michael Stern

"While gentle-textured, this bread doesn't have a compelling taste. It's great for mopping gravy off a plate or salad dressing from the bottom of a salad bowl."
