Great Country Cookin’ at Reid’s Country Kitchen
Reid’s Country Kitchen 17 Elm St, New Canaan, CT
Reid’s Country Kitchen, is a little hard to find… because it’s hidden down an alley off of Elm Street… but when you do, you’ll be amazed at how good the food is. Before the new Reid’s Country Kitchen re-opened, the place was JP’s Country Cupboard… but before that it was the original Reid’s which had opened in 1988.
Reid’s is known for its baking — especially their muffins and biscuits. I had the Biscuit Bundle which is bacon, eggs, cheese and tomato on a HUGE fresh biscuit! It was scrumptuous!
I spoke with our servers Nora and Sharon (who even asked and answered her own question)…
Do I enjoy my job?
YES!!!!
Nora, also told me that “Kid’s love the Country Kitchen”
I know why… because not only do you get a great breakfast, they give all the kids Wikki Stix which are kind of like Benderoos — waxy sticks that you can make pictures, figures or just about anything with. They’re super cool. They even hang the best creations up on their bulletin board for all of the customers to look at.

The Makris Midtown Diner… Delicious Food On The Road To LEGO Kidsfest 2011!
Makris Midtown Diner, 1797 Berlin Turnpike, Wethersfield CT
Sorry, we couldn’t post last Sunday, but we were at the LEGO Kidsfest in Hartford. So, we decided to have breakfast on the way there. We looked on the internet to find a cool place that was near the Hartford Convention Center and were lucky to find the Makris Midtown Diner in Wethersfield, CT.
The Makris is a really cool old-style diner that was built by the Jerry O’Mahony Company, who some people believe was responsible for building “the first diner”. There’s a nameplate above the door that shows it’s a real “O’Mahony Diner”. It’s one of the few left in the country and has been serving great food since 1951.
The Makris has some very cool accessories — like jukeboxes in every booth! I’m not sure if they worked, but I’m sure they did at one point!
And the food tastes great!
I had Texas French Toast, which is big and much thicker than others, kind of like how Texas is bigger than most other states! I also had Scrambled Eggs and Polish Ham — which is a special type of ham from Poland — where my mom’s family is from!
In fact, the owner of the diner is from Poland too and for lunch and dinner on Sunday she cooks authentic Polish Food!
I asked the owner, Ewa Nowak, “What your favorite breakfast?”
She said, “I really like the wheat pancakes, which sounds healthy and not tasty, but they are really good!”
She also told me to definitely come back for lunch or dinner when she makes Pierogies!
The service was really good, and we got our food quick, which was important, because we had to hit the road for the LEGO Kidsfest!
