Orem's Diner - Wilton, CT

Breakfast at Orem's is served diner-fast and is diner-good: crusty hash browns to accompany eggs, big hot muffins, bowls of warm oatmeal, and plenty of refills for your coffee cup. For lunch and dinner, there are excellent soups; and like so many modern diners, the menu is vast and far-reaching, from a whole page of Italian specialties to Greek gyros and chicken souvlaki on pita bread with a killer garlic cream condiment to corned beef with cabbage, classic blue-plate meat loaf, and sandwiches of all kinds.

"Orems moved down the road in June, 2003, to this new building that is big and bright and very well air-conditioned!"
Michael Stern

"Orems has a huge, multi-page menu, with dishes from around the nation and the world. The one and only thing Jane ever eats is a hot turkey sandwich. The meat is moist and flavorful, the mashed potatoes are for real."
Michael Stern

"Soups are especially good at Orems. Different ones are available every day. This is split pea, with croutons, on the first full day Orems opened in its new facility, June 10, 2003."

"When Orem's opened in 1921, it was surrounded by open land and Route 7 was a country two-lane. Much of the road remains two lanes ... packed with traffic during rush hour!"
