Egg Sandwiches
Perennial favorites are the Egg Sandwiches. Regulars love the Hacksaw, which features double egg, cheese, chili and hashbrowns! The Scarpelli features Egg, Scarpelli sausage patty and peppers. We love “The Weech,” which is double egg, bacon, chili, mac & cheese bites!

“When I was little, once in a Blue moon, we’d have breakfast for dinner,” Delfino said. “My mom used to make pancakes, omelettes or French toast and the five of us loved it. But I had an Italian mother, so she didn’t do it all the time.”

“Our omelettes are stuffed. All the fillings are folded in,” he continued, adding that the Denver Omelette, is very popular with ham, peppers, onion and cheddar.

A current special at Joey B’s are the Cauliflower Bites, which come with a choice of buffalo or plain dipping sauce. “It’s to die for,” Delfino said. “People are loving them.”

Joey B’s is also known for superlative chili, burgers, dogs and milk shakes.

“We make the chili fresh every day,” Delfino said. “We go through a lot of chili here. It’s spicy but also has a sweetness to it. There’s no beans – it’s all beef.”

Currently Joey B’s is offering a plant-based Beyond Burger.

“It’s not on the menu permanently. We’re trying it out,” he said. “The plant based diet is where it’s at.”

Delfino noted the restaurant is right off I-95 and people checking Yelp find good reviews and hop off the highway.

“My wife Lucretia has regulars for breakfast who come every day,” he said. “We really get to know people and they know us.”

Yelp is full of great reviews, many of which are from people coming off I-95 looking for a convenient, quick bite.

Love this place had their huevos ranchos eggs benedict for breakfast and it was very delicious and the waitress was very nice,” wrote Jaye M from Port Chester on Yelp.

Anthony from Havertown, PA wrote on Yelp, “This small place deserves a big 5-star rating. We stopped there for a quick lunch. I had the Cos Cob Burger  and it was arguably the best burger I’ve ever had! The Mac N’ Cheese bites were also delicious. Everyone there was also polite and friendly. Good Vibes Only! Easy 5-Star.”

Peter V from Stamford wrote, “I love this cool little diner! The food is great, it feels local, and it’s got all the quirks which make for an interesting experience. DJ and I went for breakfast an loved the egg sandwiches – cooked to perfection and loved sitting at the counter as well. Will Be Back!”
