The Shack Restaurant in East Lyme, CT Serves Up a Delicious Breakfast

It's a good sign when you see a line of customers waiting for a table to enjoy their Sunday breakfast at 9:00.

Being a person who knows that some restaurants ruin a breakfast with soupy scrambled eggs, stale pancakes, spicy sausages, and bacon not properly cooked, I take great appreciation for restaurants who serve a delicious meal to start the day.

In southeastern Connecticut, such a meal can be experienced at The Shack Restaurant in East Lyme located at 324 Flanders Road (Route 161) right off Interstate 95 exit 74.

I went with my girlfriend and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast in a busy restaurant but one where there was plenty of room between the tables, the customer service was outstanding, and the food was really good.

I enjoyed a mushroom and Cheddar cheese omelet with fresh mushrooms that came with delicious home fries, a tasty English muffin and a bottomless cup of coffee for only $7.48 plus tax.

The menu stated that other items that can be put on an omelet included ham, sausage, Canadian bacon, spinach, tomatoes, and bacon as well as cheese that included American, Swiss, or Mozzarella.

My girlfriend ordered the "My Two" which consisted of two buttermilk pancakes with whipped butter and syrup, two scrambled eggs, and home fries.
While she found the home fries to be a little spicy, she loved the pancakes, eggs, and pink lemonade.

I tasted a little bit of her lemonade and agreed it was tasty especially on a day that already was 72 degrees and was projected to be a balmy 95 degrees.

Other breakfast choices on the menu consisted of French toast, eggs Benedict, fresh Belgian waffles, old fashioned girdle cakes, breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, and fresh fruit cups.

Breakfast side orders that can be added to any order include bacon, grilled ham, home fries, English muffins, bagels, grilled hard rolls, baked muffins, corn bread, Canadian style bacon, corned beef hash, sausage patties, "homey fries" (home fries topped with Cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sour cream, and scallions), and "Dixie fries" (home fries topped with Cheddar cheese and covered in sausage gravy).
