Makris Diner — Restaurant in Wethersfield

I visited Makris Diner today for breakfast, and while I noticed the many awards displayed on the walls, my experience was quite the opposite of what I expected.

I ordered a soda with a cup of ice, an omelet, and a side of bacon. For the omelet, I specifically asked that the vegetables and meat be folded inside rather than mixed throughout. I also requested to substitute the two standard sides with just fruit, and I was told there would be an upcharge—which I was fine with.

The first odd moment came when the waitress apologized, saying they were out of ice. A short time later, someone else brought me a cup of ice after all. When my omelet arrived, it wasn’t prepared as requested—the vegetables and meat weren’t folded in, and the dish came with potatoes I had asked not to receive. On top of that, the vegetables inside the omelet were raw, as if they hadn’t been cooked at all.

Finally, when the bill arrived, it was handwritten and difficult to read, with no itemized prices. From the total, I could tell they charged me full price for the fruit substitution.

Hadn't been here in many years (used to go to Great American Skate back in the day) after skating we'd either go to The Olympia Diner or Makris.

The food was basic diner food, nothing outstanding. Fish and chips was just that, fish and chips with a little piece of lemon and tartar sauce and NO coleslaw. 3 perfectly formed pieces of frozen/fried mystery fish that tasted ok but.... every meal just seemed to be lacking "something" all in all it was a decent lunch but, definitely not worth the $45 we paid. I'm thinking that the prices are reflecting the lack of people in there at noon on a workday on the...

The service was A1... Walking in felt so welcoming the greeted us as soon as we came in as if they knew us. Before we were seated they asked us what we wanted to drink then proceeded to seat us . The prices were affordable and the amount of food was great ( it was a lot) we specifically went there for the grits ... They were great... But all the meats was by far the greatest ✨... The kielbasa ... The pastrami.. and the sausage was to die for just amazing... The hostess was kind and patient (it was our first time ) she explained everything to a T. It was such a great experience... And at the end we spoke to I believe to the manager on site and she was so bubbly and kind she asked about us and told us she hope to see us again and that it was a pleasure to have us. We are deff going to become regulars... Deff worth coming if you want to enjoy a piece of home ♥️ It deff...
