At The Dam Restaurant

Family owned with great service & delicious food! They serve breakfast & lunch. We love it here!!!

My husband and I visited At the Dam Restaurant and had an amazing breakfast experience! We tried a few breakfast items, and they were all absolutely delicious. The French toast was especially fantastic – don’t skip it, it's the best we've had! Everything is made fresh by the chef, which really shines through in the quality of the food. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Highly recommend checking this place out!

We read an article in the current about this "hole in the wall" breakfast and lunch spot and decided on a whim to check it out. Both hubby and I are super into diner food, and it's so close to our home in Somers.We got here around 11:30 am and realized they had switched to lunch food aside from breakfast sandwiches. We were a bit disappointed because we both wanted to try the corned beef hash made from scratch in-house, supposedly a customer favorite, but it's our fault for not doing the research before arriving. We settled on lunch instead.Hubby ordered a BLT and was able to upgrade it to a triple-decker. I got the blackened chicken wrap which had a Chipotle drizzle. Both were delicious and fresh, came with an ample amount of fries, and we barely had leftovers (we stuffed ourselves, regretfully ). Our 2-year-old loved the chicken tenders and ate a good amount of her plate which is honestly unlike her.Aside from the food, the atmosphere was very much a "hole in the wall" diner vibe, with a friendly and kind mother, son, and aunt team running the show. It was very family oriented which we loved. You can see the chef cooking as you wait, and the diner-style bar is perfect for sitting and chatting. The decor was fitting for the building, which is an old brick building rehabbed from the 1800s. The original tin ceilings were painted giving a modern twist to an antique feature.I also wanted to say as an avid coffee drinker, the coffee itself was delicious, not typical watered-down diner coffee, and the mug it came in was big enough to not need a refill every 5 minutes! Overall we had a pleasant experience and it reminded us of our childhoods, when times were more simple, people seemed friendlier, and going out to eat with a family of 3 was affordable! We can't wait to return to try the corned beef hash and other breakfast options!Thanks for a lovely meal!

Yesterday I took my grandma over here for breakfast for the first time. We both really enjoyed the place and will be back. You definitely get the feeling of a hometown restaurant. The place is in a historic building and the place oozes with charm. I got the omlette of the day and she got the western sandwich. No complaints on flavor here! I must mention the homefiries, they were delicious. Most places these days seem to be afraid of flavor and these were perfectly seasoned. I can't believe I haven't been here before but will be back. Do yourself a favor and give it a try!

Yet another Foodie alert.!!! This is a great Breakfast/Lunch spot.. classic diner food. I had a simple breakfast that was full of flavor. The service was prompt and friendly.

So if your looking to support a local Mom and Son diner that serves great food.. you gtta try this place out.. well done "At the Dam".. looking forward to more visits..

At The Dam is a local gem that is definitely worth a try. Nestled in a small town with historic charm next to a quaint, scenic waterway, its a perfect New England pit-stop. The atmosphere is welcoming, clean and friendly. As it states on its sign; "Where friends meet." Chef Paul dishes out consistently fresh and delicious breakfast/lunch options that are sure to satisfy. The selection includes classic options,as well as perfectly plated daily specials and even hand battered Fish Fry Fridays. The homemade cornbeef hash is a customer favorite! The wait staff is attentive, social and accommodating and you can expect a positive dining experience and feel like a regular on your first time stopping by. Do your self a favor and check em out!

My cousin and I visited CT last week. We came here for breakfast on our first morning in and we were so impressed! I had the corned beef hash and it was amazing. Our flight got cancled going home and we decided to come back before leaving town. Valerie was our waitress both days and she was an absolute sweetheart. Very attentive and extremely welcoming. This will be my breakfast spot every time I visit CT!! Thank you to the staff for such a great experience and delicious food!

Located opposite the Broad Brook Millpond and Opera House, this rustic and charming restaurant has much to offer! We stopped in looking for a tasty lunch and that’s exactly what we found! The BLT with thick cut bacon and the Turkey Melt (on very flavorful marbled rye) were scrumptious! The crinkle cut fries were also outstanding with the perfect mouth feel - crisp on the outside, tender inside and not greasy! Service was friendly and you have to enjoy a local dining establishment where the staff knows people by name or by voice on the phone! Make a point to stop here - you won’t be sorry!
