Deb's Restaurant — Restaurant in Haddam

Wow! This place is a must go to! If you are anywhere in the area. This is one of the best breakfast places you will probably find in all of connecticut! The food is outstanding! The service is excellent! I have been there twice so far and have gotten excellent meals both times. I do look forward to going there again and bringing friends there. It seems like the consistency of the deliciousness at Deb's restaurant is something that you can count on. Take a ride through Durham to higganum or on the other side coming from the shoreline to higganum follow the directions on Google and put your route options onto avoid freeways. You will find this cute down home restaurant tucked away in the beautiful higganum countryside. You will find a comfortable clean atmosphere friendly staff plenty of parking outside seating counter seating nice music piped in and lots of people sitting around enjoying their breakfast! For sure this is the local hotspot for those who like to go out to breakfast. I have to tell you that the country fried steak is the absolute best country fried steak I've ever had, and I've had many. The biscuits are also very good! They have quite a variety on the menu so there is something for everyone! And you will have to make sure you say hi to the owner, Deb, because she is the hardest worker there and will give you the time to learn your name and greet you with a friendly smile! Honestly this is the closest thing to the South that you will find in Connecticut! I can't wait to try their grits. Below is the mail that I split; country fried steak with sausage gravy, scrambled eggs...

What's not to say about this magnificent gem. Hands down best breakfast spot in CT!! And that's not up for debate. The owner Deb is by far the friendliest owner of an establishment I have ever experienced in all my life. I know there are a lot of places where supervisors/owners swing by the table check in on you and as quick as they got there they are gone, not Deb. She takes the time to get to know everyone that comes in the door. It's a kid friendly environment with a lot of special things for them like Micky Mouse Pancakes etc. Do yourself a favor and give them a shot, I bet it will change your life, and I'm not even a breakfast person but I'll never turn down an opportunity...

I had the Irish Benny Mess. Was absolutely delicious--spicy potatoes, sweet cornbread, salty corned beef hash topped with two beautiful poached eggs and hollandaise sauce! My companion had the Sausage Gravy biscuit with scrambled eggs and potatoes. Said it was the best he's had! Endless drinks and friendly, fast and attentive service! So what else could you possibly ask for? A cleaning service! The decor was simple but there were accumulations of dust and cobwebs and although they cover the rugs with runners, it's filthy. Honestly, makes you wonder what the kitchen looks like. However, even with that said, I'd go back in a heartbeat, the food and service...
