This place has that cozy warm feeling when you walk in like you're walking into family's house. You're greeted right away from the matriarch of the family who could bus every table by herself if she wanted to. This women greeted everybody & gave them all the warm goodbye. I watched as she set napkin and utensils on every clean table ,all while still greeting the customers around her making sure everybody was okay. The staff here is very friendly and they have one heck of a team leader. Now onto the food..... I haven't tried any lunch yet I'm always in here for breakfast they have a lot to choose from on the menu. For breakfast you could get anything from homemade hash to omelettes, the home fries are great, the bacon is phenomenal and they make some good pancakes. Today I had to eat pretty light,so I asked for an omelet with cheddar cheese and spinach. It was stuffed with spinach just how I like it. The home fries were great nice and crunchy on the outside soft on the inside.The egg wasn't thick rather on the thin side ,so I didn't like that ,but it was good. I saw somebody with pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream on top I think I'm going to get that next time. More...

My boyfriend and I went here for the first time over the weekend. I had the bacon scramble with home fries and fruit. It was all very good. I asked for fruit instead of toast and the only disappointment was that they served a variety of fruit in a bowl as small as a dish for dips. The waitress was nice enough to give me the fruit instead of toast though because she says they usually don't do that...As for my boyfriend, he had the omelette filled with meats. He liked it because it was big chunks of meat. What he didn't like was that the omelette was just eggs and inside all the meat, it wasn't mixed in together. We also shared chocolate chip pancakes that were very delicious!!! One other thing...the prices are a little high. For the two of us with our meal it came to $40 before tip. More...

we moved to Wallingford just over 10 years ago. Since then Dad's has been a bit a family tradition. Every year on each of my kids birthday we go to Dad's for breakfast, it's something that we all look forward to! Thank you for helping build a family tradition! More...

This place has a line on weekends because it's a great breakfast, small in size but worth any wait. Blueberry Pancakes were so good and a very large portion. Bacon was perfect and coffee was good. Wait staff is friendly, hardworking and fast. My head was spinning at how fast they all move. More...

The first thing you notice about Dad's is the owners affection for Bon Jovi. There are posters and pictures scattered on the walls. Please, Bon Jovi, if you're reading this: please go visit this establishment.The food was excellent but the real star of the show is their waitress Doreen. The sweetest, cutest, little gem in all the land. I would go back again and again just to be served by this lady. The rest is the wait staff are just as kind. Highly recommend. Just please make sure you close the front door. They hate it open. More...

Hands down the best breakfast spot in Wallingford. I wish the seating was just a tad bit more spacious, but it seems that breakfast joints and tight seating are synonymous. I'm a big fan of the egg whites, corned beef hash & rye toast. Wish we had started going more frequently sooner. More...

Excellent breakfast. Everything fresh and delicious. Corned beef hash is very tasty. Pancakes are great and they even have an option to buy real maple syrup which being from Vermont who can eat that stuff they call maple syrup down here. Staff are very friendly and they have some flavored coffee also. More...
