You can truly never go wrong with a diner.

They are the perfect place to go when you don't know what you're craving, but you just want something. Their menus are always insanely large and there's a bit of food for everyone.

Connecticut has a lot of diners that are worth the hype. Some are basic, but some are insanely delicious. Blue Colony Diner in Newtown is one of my favorites and always worth the mention, and Olympia Diner was highlighted as being one of the best retro diners around the country.

While they are known around Connecticut, it looks like they are grabbing national attention as well. I'm happy to see more Connecticut places get national love. Even though our pizza is good, we are way more than just that.
