There is a place called Chip's in Rocky Hill area. They are a little on the pricier side, but the food was decent. Or we could go back to doing IHOP, whether in Wallingford, or on the Berlin tpke. Should we shoot for an 8am breakfast? Little on the earlier side, but less crowds. The Cromwell Diner is pretty good, and I think most people liked Mitchell's where we went last time. Trying to keep it pretty central as it sounds like Andy, and possibly Kyle may come.

I liked Mitchell's from last time. Have lots of things to spend money on with the move coming up, so trying to stay away from expensive places as much as possible.

Never had Chip's but I've seen the billboards on 95. IHOP's food is good but the service in my experience has always seemed lacking but that maybe because it always seems to get mobbed. I tend to have a lot of diner food so I'd vote for Mitchell's too.

I vote for Mitchells but maybe earlier to avoid the crowds.

Just not too early, it's a 45-minute drive for me.

They have one in Vernon, but I think we're talking about the one in Cromwell.

Yes, the one in Cromwell. It isn't far off rte 9 south. If going south on rte 9, it's the exit for 372, then left and down a few miles. Dead end and take a right. End of the block, on the corner. Parking is a large dirt lot. Rte 9 north on the other hand is a quick exit after Middletown, then about a mile down on the left. Should we go for a 7o'clock breakfast then? I can get there a little early and try to get a bigger table set up for us if I know who is coming.
