Diner notes
5 out of 5
Very good tasting foods with good value. The servers are very nice and the overall time spent there was very relaxing. This time we each ordered omeletes (spinach, mushroom, Swiss cheese, variations). The cheese home fries were great. Breakfast is served untill about noon? We've ordercthe pasta dishes in the past they were great as well. Try, you'll love it. Whenever we're near there we make an effort to eat here.

Friends go here often and this time we joined them. Ordered a spinach empanada and garlic bread to start, but the bread and chimichurri that came to the table was sufficient (you can ask for more bread, which you may want to do to enjoy the excellent chimichurri!). Our party of seven (we were easily seated when we arrived on Ash Wednesday after church service) ordered the cannelloni di carne, pasta connection speciale, manicotti napoletano, polenta, di cappelletti al bordo, and a sandwich with onion rings (the onion rings are a favorite for one of the regulars in our group). Portions were filling with some having leftovers. Members of our party have had breakfast here previously but they do not serve their breakfast menu in the evening. Has indoor and outdoor seating. Small parking lot in back. Service was fine. Will definitely return but probably on a weekday to maximize chances of finding parking.

I’ve been coming here for breakfast for 30 years. Marie is usually our waitress and she is absolutely wonderful. The food is so good and people are very nice. There home fries are the best as you’ve ever had with scallions/mushrooms/cheese for no extra cost. Good coffee great service. What more could you ask for love this place. Always really busy on the weekend but now they have outdoor seating that makes it easier to get a spot.
Eaten at Toddle Inn?
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
