Reviews for At The Dam Restaurant in Broad Brook, CT
We read an article in the current about this "hole in the wall" breakfast and lunch spot and decided on a whim to check it out.... Both hubby and I are super into diner food, and it's so close to our home in Somers. We got here around 11:30 am and realizedthey had switched to lunch food aside from breakfast sandwiches. We were a bit disappointed because we both wanted to try thecorned beef hash made from scratch in-house, supposedly a customer favorite, but it's our fault for not doing the researchbefore arriving. We settled on lunch instead. Hubby ordered a BLT and was able to upgrade it to a triple-decker. I got theblackened chicken wrap which had a Chipotle drizzle. Both were delicious and fresh, came with an ample amount of fries, and webarely had leftovers (we stuffed ourselves, regretfully ????). Our 2-year-old loved the chicken tenders and ate a good amount ofher plate which is honestly unlike her. Aside from the food, the atmosphere was very much a "hole in the wall" diner vibe, witha friendly and kind mother, son, and aunt team running the show. It was very family oriented which we loved. You can see thechef cooking as you wait, and the diner-style bar is perfect for sitting and chatting. The decor was fitting for the building,which is an old brick building rehabbed from the 1800s. The original tin ceilings were painted giving a modern twist to anantique feature. I also wanted to say as an avid coffee drinker, the coffee itself was delicious, not typical watered-downdiner coffee, and the mug it came in was big enough to not need a refill every 5 minutes! ???? Overall we had a pleasantexperience and it reminded us of our childhoods, when times were more simple, people seemed friendlier, and going out to eatwith a family of 3 was affordable! We can't wait to return to try the corned beef hash and other breakfast options! Thanks fora lovely meal! Read more
I grew up in this small town. I came back for a visit (from Alaska) with my son and two grandsons. We loved this restaurant so... much, we came back a second time. The food and service was amazing! The atmosphere was like visiting and eating with friends.It was obvious this is a favorite spot for many. Thank you Sue and "At The Dam" chef and others for creating a wonderful experience for my family. We will be back to visit next year! Read more
We love this place. The portions are appropriate and the prices fair. Their weekly specials ensure a variety often unseen at... other diners. I like to try different plates, but you can't go wrong with their corned beef hash. The waitresses are alwaysfriendly, attentive, and accommodating. The small serving area means the place fills up quickly; however, we've never had towait. We always have a great experience here. Read more
