King's has been a community staple in Newtown for the past 15 years, with the father-son duo Nick and Daniel Pirraglia taking ownership of the restaurant in April 2012.

Located at 271 South Main Street, the diner has roughly 90 seats indoors and when weather permits the outdoor section comfortably sits about 60.

Inside the cozy, wood paneled building customers can enjoy a wide variety of breakfast and lunch foods at an affordable price.

Known for the large "king"-sized meal portions, the menu cover explains King's is "Where your family is treated like royalty."

Many of the servers, like Roberta Pettit and Debby Nehez, have built bonds with longtime customers and know their regulars on a first name basis.

"They are part of our family and our life here," said Ms Nehez.

"We have people that came here as children, and now they are bringing their kids," added Ms Pettit.

The relaxed, family-friendly environment has made a positive impact on many of their customers. On King's bulletin board there are heartfelt letters and drawings from children that the staff truly appreciate.

One handwritten paper from a child named Kaylee says, "Do you love great breakfast foods? Well if you do, try King's. I love King's because you can get Mickey and Minnie Mouse pancakes... I give it five stars."

Ms Nehez explained the comfortable atmosphere allows children to sometimes show up for breakfast in their pajamas.

Also, many young customers love to feed the fish that swim in the pond in front of King's. Kids line up to receive a cup of fish food, then go outside to see the beautiful orange fish swim up to get their treat.

King's owners and staff are very invested in their customers and care about the Newtown community. In an average day, King's will have a line of loyal customers eagerly waiting for their chance to enjoy a meal fit for a king.
