You know you're a redneck when you go to a wedding reception at Waffle

Um...not a Waffle House, but Zip's Diner in Dayville, CT. :)

It was the son of the owner about 20 years ago.

He is a classic car nut and had the wedding drive-in movie style in
the parking lot with everybody attending in some sort of classic car.
The reception was held in the diner which is bigger than you might
expect for a roadside diner.

Ton of fun actually and the food was catered buffet style.

I am glad Zip's can never be accused of false advertising.

All they promise is "EAT". Waffle House has to provide "GFF"

Good Food Fast.

Zip's has a rather eclectic menu. You can get anything from breakfast
27/7/365 to an honest-to-pete real quality steak dinner and everything
in between. Zip's also does a fresh fish dinner during Lent that is
outstanding.

It used to be "the" place to go when Rt. 101 was the trucker short cut
from Hartford to Providence. It still attracts it's fair share of
truckers, but it's mostly short haul guys rather than the long haul
types they used to cater to. Once I-395 was installed with that loopy
exit ramp, their business shifted a little, but it's still busy there
morning, noon and evening.

However, you are right - GFF and cheap.
