Blue Highway Diner — Restaurant in Haddam

We passed this place for the better part of a year and just didn't make it in time for their hours. I decided to make a trip specially to try them out. We were not disappointed! The owner and our waitress were genuinely nice people. Not the kind of nice that you know isn't genuine, the kind that makes you feel like a regular even though it's your first visit! It's a small place that left a big mark for me! I will definitely be back to try lunch, as this visit was specifically to try breakfast. We had everything from pancakes, to a panwich (pancake breakfast sandwich) to a Dixie bowl! (Fried potatoes, sausage gravy topped with a beautiful little egg and cheese omelette). The coffee was also excellent and the half and half was cold and fresh in my own little pitcher. Loved everything! Thanks so much...

The Ruben sandwich was excellent. Pastrami had good flavor, perfectly grilled and in good proportions. The Higgy steak and cheese sandwich my husband ordered was tasty as well, but our west coast background did leave us craving some au jus. It would have been exceptional with an au jus.

The potato salad is a solid choice for your side dish. It is clearly homemade, and I will happily order it again.

Service was pleasant and attentive. Atmosphere feels like the place the locals all know to go for breakfast or morning coffee, where everyone acknowledges each other or says hello on the way in. The cooking is excellent. A restaurant worth making sure your trip...

Blue Highway was the perfect little spot! I had the west coast quesadilla. Let me tell you...if I could I'd give it ten stars. I love jalepeño but most dishes use too much and you can hardly taste the meal. That was not the case here, it was the perfect amount to go along with all the other tasty flavors! Very comfy, hometown setting. The staff was very nice and personable. The only reason I gave it four stars was because their selection is primarily meat based (as most hometown diners are) and I didn't care for their homefries. Good flavor, but I prefer less crunch. Absolutely stop...
