Best Brunch Spot In Connecticut: Daily Meal List Says

CONNECTICUT — There's so much to love about brunch — from ham, bacon and sausage, to chicken and waffles, or creative takes on eggs. It's all tasty. And let's not forget cocktails, bloody Marys, mimosas, and lemonade with a splash of bourbon.

For those looking to find their next favorite brunch spot, we've got some good news for you.

A new list from the Daily Meal named Engine Room, in Mystic, as the best brunch spot in Connecticut.

The food and dining website compiled the list showing the best brunch eatery in every state by doing a deep dive into review sites. It specifically looked for spots that don't just serve the best traditional food but also venture outside the box.

"These restaurants pay just as much attention to their brunch menu as their dinner menu, and they serve it all in a lively space with just the right amount of celebratory fanfare," authors of the Daily Meal list wrote. "If you live near any of these spectacular spots, set aside a leisurely Sunday afternoon and treat yourself."

Here’s more information about the top brunch spot in our state:

At Engine Room, the motto is "Beer, Burgers, and Bourbon," and that certainly sets the table for its crazy-popular "Proper Boozy Brunch," served every Sunday. The menu is heavy on house-smoked meats and is conveniently divided into breakfast and lunch sections. Breakfast standouts include slow-smoked brisket Benedict on cornbread with cilantro hollandaise, slow-roasted steak and eggs, house-made bagels and lox and an egg-topped burger. Lunch options include Nashville hot chicken wings, a veggie burger, slow-smoked pork ribs and a smoked brisket sandwich. There are also some creative brunch cocktails, including an impressive bloody mary with maple-habanero candied bacon, dill pickle, sharp cheddar cheese, celery and a chili-spiced rim.

Engine Room is located at 14 Holmes Street in Mystic.

The full list of brunch eateries is available on the Daily Meal website.
