Carmela's on the Extension - Middletown, Connecticut

A few friends and I went for breakfast here. I ordered the breakfast BLT it was absolutely delicious. This item was on the specials list for the day. There was also a pancake that we ordered, but I can’t remember the name of it offhand, but we did order that and it was delicious. My friend was able to order her breakfast sandwich on gluten-free toast. The staff was friendly and they attended to us well.

Joined friends for a late breakfast. Everyone’s food was beyond delicious. I had the California eggs Benedict with big slices of avocado & my husband had 1 apple cinnamon pancake (see photo). Service was friendly & timely with never empty coffee cups. This will be our go to place for breakfast or lunch whenever we’re in town.

Last week, I was in the area and noticed this restaurant, so I called ahead and ordered a bacon egg & cheese on a hard roll to go.
It was ready when I arrived. The sandwich was hot and delicious. The staff/workers were friendly.
The restaurant itself looked nice.
It was fairly busy when I was there.

This little gem of a breakfast place offers an absolutely delicious breakfast. Homefries were the best we ever had! Service was friendly, attentive, and food was freshly prepared. While we didn’t order pancakes, the table next to us did and the presentation was lovely and the diners looked pleased. The place was exceptionally clean.

Great fresh food! I got the special blueberry lemon French toast and it was delicious. I would have wanted more blueberries on it, but I’ll ask for extra next time. The omelette tasted great, and potatoes were very well seasoned. I also want to mention how the fruit was fresh and not frozen. Overall great tasting food. Although I will say I hate the red, they need to paint the wall white.

I think this is a great Hometown restaurant. I spoke with the owner and she's great, made me feel right at home. I loved the lightly scrambled eggs w/ sausage gravy, the gravy was perfect and loaded with great chunks of Italian sausage, bursting with flavor. The Home fries were good, light spiced crispy enough. The wheat toast was thick and toasted/buttered nicely. The watermelon slice was a nice garnish and yummy to finish things off. Now on to the Homemade corned beef hash...., it was 50/50 corned beef to potatoes, it seemed to be the only item not seasoned well enough, although, it still, also, gets 5 stars, the Chalula hot sauce saved it and the 50/50 ingredients were better than most homemade corned beef hash I've had, and it was pure corned beef, not processed. I recommend big, I can't wait to go back for more eggs and sausage gravy and to try the pancakes, I'll want to try the the homemade corned beef hash again.

Stopped here with my wife after a doctor’s appointment without any knowledge of what to expect. It was about 11:30am so no big crowds but still several tables with customers with one table that had a large group of about seven older women just chatting together. We were greeted as soon as we entered and sat at a booth. We were given menus and asked if we wanted anything to drink. We both got coffee which was hot, strong and had a great taste (off to a good start - I love good coffee.) Breakfast was still being served so my wife ordered eggs over easy and home fries while I ordered the Extension platter that comes with eggs (I asked for them scrambled), 2 slices of bacon, 2 sausages, pancakes and home fries. Everything came out within 10-15 minutes of our ordering and cooked as ordered. It was all delicious!! Our server came by several times to see if everything was good and to refill our coffee cups (I had at least 3 cups - did I mention I love good coffee?) Highly recommend checking Carmela’s out if you’re in the area.
