The overstuffed pop overs are incredible! Service was excellent and the owner even stopped by to say hello. Must visit if you are in the area!

3.5: A recurring spot for breakfast or lunch but we usually get takeout because it can get busy for tables. Known for their pop overs, there is a selection of breakfast-y options, pop over sandwiches, salad bowls, waffles/pancakes, etc. The food quality is fine but I must admit that I haven't really been wowed. We recently had the vegan breakfast sandwich (ok but the sourdough was a bit hard at the edges and there wasn't enough avocado; not really melt in your mouth), tuna melt (also ok), and a sweet potato, kale, veggie salad bowl. The pop overs are good but often feel too airy. Each individual pop over is $4 a "pop." The menu also has some seasonal items. The cost adds up here for the food and I cringe when I see that total! Typically when we've ordered out, the order takes longer than the estimated time and the folks at the front are slow as they're busy helping in-house customers. We still keep coming here however because of the location.

Sunday morning around 9:30, we drove by and my wife convinced me to get some grub. She's been here a couple times but it was a first for me. Stuffed popovers for breakfast is a concept I agreed to try. Staff were very friendly and they all seemed excited and happy about their jobs. We waited about 20 minutes which was fine. Service was prompt and friendly. My wife got a basic and huge popover with jam and flavored butter. I got the stuffed popover with scrambled eggs, real corned beef and potatoes. It was an Irish something dish. We also got crunchy fried potatoes as a side which actually was totally unnecessary but delicious. I only said unnecessary because we couldn't finish them and brought them home. My popover was literally stuffed and was an absolute beast of a meal. It was good, and I admit I couldn't finish it. There's a ton of other things on the menu which would motivate me to come back. They offer some breakfast sandwiches and meals without any popovers. Watching food items getting delivered around our table was interesting. They don't take reservations but you get on the list and can wait in the entrance area which can get a little packed along with people who get take out too. They text you when your table is ready so many people sat in their cars (I assume). Some also stayed outside which brings me to my ONLY and petty constructive criticism of this restaurant. We were there on a fairly enjoyable but yet cooler morning. The door swings open and closed copious amounts due to people picking up takeout orders, people wanting to sit inside, people who get their names on the list and then go sit in their cars, therefore there's always a cool breeze and soon to be a cold breeze within the restaurant when winter arrives. We sat towards the back of the restaurant near the kitchen and our food got cool quicker than we anticipated. So this winter, eat fast and bundle up because that door is always swinging open. It's not the end of the world for us, we will go back, and maybe during the winter they might turn some heat on but stop over for some awesome popovers. You won't regret it.

Pop Over Eatery is a breakfast/lunch spot and they have two locations, one in Mystic and one in Simsbury. I've read reviews for this place and was excited to try it out. It's located in the Simsburytown Shops; it's a busy parking lot with limited parking, but we were able to snag a spot. The place was busy at lunch on a Monday. We spoke to the hostess and she said about a 10-15 minute wait, which was correct and fine with us. They had high chairs which was a plus. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I enjoyed the bright and colorful decor. I started off with a butter latte which you guessed it, had butter in it; it was delicious, I ordered it hot since the waitress said it might not fully melt if it's iced, I appreciated the tip. Their menu was vast and had so many good and unique options to choose from. I decided to try out their French toast BLT; it had an egg, applewood bacon, lettuce, tomato, maple mayo, and cinnamon brioche French toast. This came with a side of syrup but I didn't need it. The sandwich was unique and pretty good; I just wished it came with a side like fries or hash browns. There were a few other menu items I wanted to try out as well. At the end, the receipt was dropped off; I liked that we can pay by scanning the QR code on the receipt.

This was my first time dining in even though I have had their food through catering. I didn't realize they served brunch all day so I'd definitely make the trip again since brunches are my favorite. We went at 9a on a Sunday and I called ahead to find out if there was any wait, which was none. It was steady through out our dining experience. The staff are really nice and I love the colors they have going on inside and outside. I learned the small little patio outside the front door, although more intimate is only for take out guests. There is outdoor seating with patio umbrellas on the side. The food is really good. That Skillet Shakshuka was worth it! I wish I had more bread though, that got gobbled up. The only thing to note was that my friend's classic Benny was brought out incomplete without the bearnaise sauce. She didn't actually notice it was lacking until it was brought over. At least that was rectified. I didn't partake in any lattes or coffee, though I was told it's really good. I suppose I will have to add that on my next visit!

I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this trip to Pop Overs, remembering my disappointment years ago. The place was filled with happy customers and everyone enjoyed their meals. The Simsbury Feast was a huge boost of protein with its 3 eggs, 2 turkey sausage patties, 2 strips of perfectly cooked bacon and hash browns! The salad bowl looked amazing and was also a large portion. I'm not sure what the scrambled eggs on top of a popover was called, but it too looked wonderful. The popovers are of course the stars of the meal. I highly recommend this place. They lost a star only because it took a very long time to get our order in, one meal was brought much later than the others, a coffee was never delivered & the one that was delivered was never offered a refill. Even still, those things didn't take much away from this enjoyed meal. We'll be back & Popovers will have another opportunity to earn that 5th star.

The Pop Over Eatery in Simsbury is so eye catchingly beautiful with its painted pumpkins all over the front door! I stepped inside and was immediately greeted by not one, but two of their staff members. I tried to select something of the menu posted on the wall, there was a lot of good stuff. The friendly young man brought me to a seat and gave me a print out of the menus. They have so many seasonal coffee drinks, as well as cocktails. I got the pumpkin spice cold brew. There are so, so many tasty breakfast and lunch options available! The waffles are endless and the French toast, yum! I went with the Funky Monkey Bowl. This is Greek yogurt with bananas, granola and peanut butter. I'm trying to watch my carb intake, this is why I went with this bowl. It came beautifully presented in a bowl, with swirls of peanut butter across. My coffee also arrived beautifully presented, in a mason jar mug, with cold pumpkin foam on top. I was seated next to the beautiful, colorful mural. They also have plenty of outdoor seating. This was such a tasty breakfast! The bananas are so fresh, and combined with the granola and the peanut butter... so good! There was plenty of Greek yogurt! This was a filling and nutritious breakfast. My pumpkin spice cold brew was also so tasty! I could taste the cinnamon and the pumpkin flavor. This was perfect for a warm fall, late morning. I had such a wonderful first experience at Pop Over Eatery! The space is beautiful, inside and out, their staff are super friendly and their menu will leave your mouth watering! I cannot wait to return!

How is it that I haven't reviewed this place yet?? This is my absolute favorite breakfast spot and probably the only place I'm willing to wait over 30min to be seated coz it's worth it. If (like me) you don't know what popovers are, it's a light roll made from an egg batter similar to a Yorkshire pudding, typically baked in dedicated popover pans. Don't be alarmed by the huge size it's almost all air or hollow inside and eggy on the walls. Drizzle that with warm clarified butter and maple syrup... voilà!! Yum!! There are so many variations of what you can top a popover with on the menu. I've had the veggie and Nutella versions of it.. both really good!! I love how innovative and creative they are with the food plus the menu offers a large variety of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options.
