Blue Colony Diner - Classic Diner Fare with Generous Portions and Friendly Service in Newtown, CT

We stopped on our way through to PA for lunch. Plenty of parking! We were seated immediately. The waitress, Kelly, was pleasant and professional. I don’t think she knew quite how to react to my jovial side, but that’s fine. We were seated right next to the baked goods - and there were lots of them! My hubby got a slice of cheesecake after his meal. The menu was extensive & it was helpful that the foods were divided by meals (breakfast, lunch, & dinner.) We ordered our meals and they were served quickly. The food was good. It’s a great place for a meal right off of exit 10 off of I84!

Place is a great value and good quality food. Service is good in a classic diner environment. We were too full to try desserts but they all looked good.

Been a couple years since I came here and brought my family this time to try it. The food was still pretty good and depending on what you ordered the portion was very generous too. Price went up but it has been a couple years. Our first waitress seemed in a bit of a hurry but we had a wonderful little Spanish lady that helped us after, she was great. We brought some desserts home, the strawberry short cake unfortunately was not a hit, but the cheesecake was amazing. A very strong cheese flavor that made it not need any topping. Put off my partner but the rest of us loved it. Would come again and bring new people.

Wonderful!! What a treat! Awesome place with great food and really nice people serving us there. The salad was very good and the Clam Chowder was fantastic! The Pot Roast with pancake potatoes were as good as grandma used to make. My serving was easily a two portion meal. Huge menu selections.

Found this diner while traveling through Connecticut. Service and atmosphere was great. Being from the south, I get sweet tea all the time. However, up here in the north, they serve unsweetened tea. My server said that he could make it for me. He put in just the right amount of sugar in the tea to make it good. The bacon cheeseburger was very good. The sweet potato fries and regular fries were great and plentiful. My only disappointment was the lack of taste in the meat of the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. I ate half of it with the bread and ate the other half without the bread. When eating it without the bread, that is when I noticed that the meat was tasteless. Mixing it with the bread, peppers, onions, and cheese, I really didn't notice it. So, that is my only complaint (season the meat).

Amazing and delicious. Dinos like this used to be all over connecticut, southern connecticut.That is, but after fake covid, closing everything down.Now, these darners aren't open twenty four hours.Except this one!!!! The pastries are huge and amazing.They have great challah bread huge loaves and delicious. Everything i've ever had there has been wonderful, and the owners are very kind.And truly want their customers to be happy.I suggest if you're on eighty four in or around newtown, connecticut stop at exit ten.I believe route six newtown and check it out.It's amazingEspecially if you're traveling at night!!!! I apologize about the photos and the food being partly eaten before I took them, but I was so excited when I saw the food and by the way, that's duck, half of a duck plus a salad plus potato plus vegetables plus bread, which is the challah bread by the way and the matza ball soup, the best matzaball soup.I've ever had for eighteen dollars, and something cents. And the grilled cheese was perfect.My wife had that.The gyro was deliciousSaid the friend that sat across from me, who, when I said, there's a diner in such and such place, he said, why would I go anywhere else?I have the blue colony diner.He lives in a town right near there.And it's true!!!

Very neat place, found as we were traveling East and hopped off the highway to have breakfast. Farmers Market Omelet filled with ham, veggies, Swiss cheese. Served with a side of potatoes and toast. Also corned beef hash, eggs over easy, potatoes and toast. Really good but nothing over the top. What I would say is over the top, their multiple display cases of desserts and pastries. Wish we had been there later in the day so we could have tried dessert.
