Route 80 Cafe - East Haven

A small hidden gem. Warm atmosphere, attentive friendly staff and phenomenal food. Highly recommend going!

My first time here and it was amazing! Thanks to Kelly, Marge, Jim and Dan. They make you feel like you are family! The waitress was sweet as pie very accommodating. Shared my experience with a friend who didn?t make it to the game at the Sports Complex just down the street! Stop by whenever you want something different and a very personal touch!

I set a time and time again this place is quite nice as a smaller but a decent seating capacity. It is more a family run restaurant and everybody is friendly. I pretty much give breakfast and only chef salad because those are the things I like they have much other things on the menu. I've hurt my hip and it was unable to get out of my truck. Was no problem whatsoever for the woman to run out my meal to my truck and pay for it right there. I think the woman's name is Tammy but I'm not sure absolutely wonderful woman. And she assured me that if I needed to have my meals run out to the truck it was a okay by her. That was very nice of her

Greate place to eat,I go there twice mouth our more anything you wil order is fresh perfectes cook..

East Haven needed a diner, but this is not the one it needed. Let me explain briefly what I noticed in my experience there: Upon entering, I was not given any direction if I'd be seated or if I would be expected to seat myself, but it appeared that I could just sit down anywhere. As I walked in, I was stopped by a friendly person, who I'm unsure if he even worked there. He was wearing a generic shirt for Crooks an Castles. Not sure how or if I was supposed to know that he worked there, but when I told him I was looking to seat 6, he seemed genuinely puzzled. I offered to split up the table for 3 and 3, because my group did not want to make it difficult for anybody. After saying nothing, he left and got another chair and tried to add it to a 4 person booth. We squeezed in, trying not to be difficult and were ready to just accept that this was a new place. Luckily the neighboring table gave us a their table, which was slightly bigger and we were able to sit comfortably. After 20 minutes, we were finally acknowledged by a waitress who apologized and very kindly got us water before realizing that we weren't even given menus. After getting us menus, we waited another 15 minutes before even being asked for our orders The menu actually had several spelling errors which seems like it was never reviewed. It wasn't actually affecting the order, but it is not professional to publish all those menus with several problems. Because I selected a special, I was told that I could not have chocolate pancakes with my meal, even as an up-charge, which I was happy to pay, if offered. Once the food actually got to us, my wife noticed that she did not get her food as the menu described it. When asking the waitress, she told us that the item in question was made as expected and that there was nothing more for it. We got a hold of another menu and was able to tell her that the menu differed from what was given to us. The waitress then grabbed the dish, walked away, then walke
