Down to earth, great food, nothing fancy, great service ( Cynthia ) constantly offering you more coffee. The place is small, not more than 9 tables, booth style. Stake and eggs, silver dollar pancakes, omelet, side of bacon, and the coffee are very good

The food here is always delicious and the atmosphere is very nostalgic of an old school brunch diner, which we love! They’re usually busy but the service is very quick and efficient so we don’t have to wait long for a table. Highly recommend this...Read More

Great diner. Awesome food whether you want breakfast lunch or dinner. Colonial is not a super big place, so if it's crowded, you're going to wait till a table becomes available. Portions of food are generous so bring that appetite with you. The staff friendly...Read More

The whole experience was delightful! My breakfast sandwich was awesome and their french fries are really good. My husband enjoyed his omelet. The employees were all in good spirits. We will definitely come here again the next time we're passing through.

I was driving home to Maryland from Long Island and stopped here to grab a bite. It's a small but quaint diner that serves breakfast and lunch items. I believe their sign said that they are now open until 3. The staff was super friendly....Read More
