I used to love coming here when it was Pine Acres and haven't been since it changed to Blondie's. The food is still great, the service is superb and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. I can't recommend the Elvis French Toast enough! Such a delicious, indulgent treat!

I love the food at these restaurants there perfectly made whatever choice you make. Any time of day you end up going you’ll end up full and happy. The coffee is made with love just like the food and the service is the best around. The employees are always smiling and happy the atmosphere is comfortable to be around. You have to put blondies on your list to go eat at you will be fully satisfied.

A few years ago, I owned a small business that often took me down Route 32, where I always noticed the sign for Blondie’s Diner. I never got the chance to stop in before selling the business, but after a 6-mile walk with my godfather, he suggested we try a new restaurant that had transformed during COVID. To my surprise, it turned out to be the sister location to Blondie’s! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit wherever we liked on the left side of the building. The diner has two large dining rooms, making it a great spot for groups, though I can see it getting busy on weekends. Fortunately, we arrived on a Wednesday around 11:30 AM and had no wait. Their menu is extensive, with breakfast served all day—always a plus. I ordered the Country Benny, which came with two southern biscuits, turkey sausage, poached eggs, and a rich, flavorful meat gravy. I also had a side of hashbrowns and a black coffee. Everything was delicious! The eggs were perfectly runny, the biscuits were light and fluffy, and the flavors blended beautifully. The coffee was great, and our server was quick with refills. One of the highlights was reading the history inside the menu, detailing how Blondie started her first location in Willimantic and grew it into multiple locations. It’s clear that the woman behind these restaurants is doing something special. If you’re in the area, this is a place you definitely need to check out!

We are so thrilled that this place is so close to us! We went there for the first time last week and went back a second time with friends the next day! It is so cute inside and has many sizes of tables to accommodate us and & our toddler then later with a large group of friends. Our waitress Erica was wonderful, food was out quickly and the portions were perfect. The waffles were delicious & the omelets were filling. We will certainly be back, time & time again!

Great breakfast place, perfect and friendly service. Egg plates, waffles, pancakes, and mocha latte are all to recommend. I didn’t manage to get any food photos, but I did get one of the COLOSSAL water we got served (orange juice for scale).
