Connecticut (Eastern)
Aero Diner -
Windham - N41 44.275 W72 10.837. 361 Boston Post Road (Route 6) in
North Windham, in front of North Windham Airport. Most excellent
Reuben. This is a place worth going to. One of my favs. (NomadWillie)
B.T. Lanes BBQ -
Griswold - It has indoor and outdoor
seating. Today was an outside kinda day. I ordered the REBEL Sandwich.
A Pulled pork and cole slaw sandwich on that Chibatta square bread I
like. The sauce had, at least to me, a vinigar and maple syrup taste
to it. VERY good! The slaw had an onion taste to it that I don't care
for. Pam ordered up a Brisket sandwich with onins and monterey
jack that was very good! Portions were decent but not huge and the
platters included Fries and Slaw. Definitely a place I will return to.

and fries. And a killer chocolate milk shake! - (Dave)
Ted's
Restaurant - Meriden - 1044 Broad St. 203-237-6660. N41 32.809 W72
46.988 These guys steam their hamburgers and got some kind of
cheese on it. It is worth at least one visit for the experience. This
place is really small. (NomadWillie)

Belgique Pātisserie & Chocolatier - Kent - nice chocolate and
pastry near some great riding.
Bridgeport
Flyer Diner - 249 Bridgeport Avenue, Milford. (Hawkmoon)
Collins Diner - North Canaan - Routes 44 and 7. N42 01.619 W73
19.778. Great area to ride around. Lime Rock race track is out this
way. Nice classic diner. I had a BLT so to rate it based on this would
be wrong. Sassy waitress. (NomadWillie)
Nodine's
Smokehouse - Goshen - It's down a little driveway that makes you
think you're pulling into someone's private property. The weather
warmed up just enough to sit outside at the picnic tables, which is
their only seating accommodations. But the sandwiches were out of this
world, not to mention the fudge that Carl and Bob fought over for
dessert. (shortpam)
The Cook House
- New Milford - Right on rte 7. Great place for ribs! (Siggy2002)
Five Guys
Famous Burgers and Fries - Orange - 440
Boston Post Road. (Hawkmoon)
Rawley's Drive-In - Fairfield -
You can get a deep
fried hotdog smothered in bacon and sauerkraut ( I skipped the kraut
and got double bacon). Boy was it good! (OSJ)
Super Duper
Weenie - Fairfield - When Gary the owner is cooking, the dogs are
exceptional. I especially liked the Chicagoan dog although I don't
remember any sport peppers. It did taste very fresh. The New Englander
I was expecting, to taste like most other dogs from around here, but
the red spicy relish gave it a different flair. I was pleasantly
surprised. There is a slaw dog and another that don't remember. The
fries are skin on. They're best eaten hot. They also have a sausage
sandwich on a Portuguese roll called a Mighty Ity. Either hot or mild
sausage. He doesn't overcook the sausage so it is still juicy. All in
all. I have added it to my list of places to stop. I stop whenever I'm
in the area and have the time. (Frankman)
Toymakers Cafe - Falls Village - its
more than just a place to eat. When you walk into Greg and Ann
Bidou's little cafe you feel like your in house for a visit with
friends. Why, well because they are bikers, and they make great
food. Out back Greg will be more then willing to take you thru his
old collection of British iron, many bikes he is still in the process
of rebuilding :) (OSJ)
