BREAKFAST & LUNCH
Eat In, Take Out, & Catering
P. Weiss (5 Star Review) My husband and I recently visited Boston and Middletown, CT. We stayed in Cromwell, CT. We had excellent dinners at really wonderful restaurants in Boston, New Haven and Middletown, but the highlight of the trip was breakfast at Mitchell's on Main. We went there first on a Saturday. It was busy, packed with people, all of whom seemed to one another and were well known to the staff. I had the Italian Garbage Plate. With a name like that, how could I resist: fried potatoes with sausage, onions and red pepper, topped with melted cheese and a couple of poached eggs. My husband had Eggs Oscar - which is essentially Eggs Benedict with lobster and asparagus. The breakfast was so good, we went back the next day and that was when the most startling thing happened. The hostess showed us to our seat and said, "One regular coffee and one decaf, right?" After one visit, in a crowded restaurant, she remembered. I ordered poached eggs and the server asked, "On the toast or in a cup?" I have never been asked that before and have often had to fish the poached eggs out of a little pool of cooling water in a cup. My husband had a tuna melt (yes it is a pretty big menu) and said it was the best he ever had. Also, the street perpendicular to Main leads down to the river and a beautiful little park - a nice walk to work up your appetite. All in all a wonderful experience.

My brother had a medical emergency here yesterday, and the owner, serving staff and even patrons were so helpful, and treated us like family. It doesn’t get any better than this place.
P Doole (5 Star Review) I’ve been going to Mitchell’s On Main in Cromwell for many years now. It’s an intimate atmosphere because there are so many regulars there you could easily get in a conversation with one of them. The service is great because they have fast, efficient and friendly servers. I think the food is always top notch. I’m always pleased with my meal.The cooks never seem to get a moments rest, always on the move, making those orders to perfection. The owner Tom is busy serving meals or helping cook. And then there’s the dishwasher who makes a rare. appearance when he brings out the clean dishes, cups, and silverware. Thanks to all of you hard workers.Each of you is why those regulars are regulars and why a first time customer sometimes becomes a regular. My uncle Jim and I love eating there. Tom, you have a great team
