Zip's Diner
Dayville, Connecticut

From their website:

A Family Business since 1954.
First things first: the name Zip was the nickname of retired Connecticut state trooper Henry Zehrer. Zip started in the diner business in 1946 in Danielson, CT. The original diner was located on Route 6 between the Powdrell &amp; Alexander Mill and what is today the Danielson post office. The diner operated until 1954 when Zehrer purchased a brand new O’Mahoney diner and had it shipped up north from Elizabeth, New Jersey. The new diner also had a new location, its current location. 

When the new diner opened in its new location in Dayville on Memorial Day weekend in 1954 it was run by a young Conrad and Olive Jodoin. The Jodoins purchased the diner from the Zehrers in 1960. Over the following years it became a true family business with help from their children. Tom, Nancy, James, and Robert all had a hand in running the business, and in 1980 the diner began its second generation of ownership under Tom Jodoin with brothers Robert and James running the kitchen. Today the diner is now on its third generation of family ownership. Kevin Cole (Nancy’s son, Tom’s nephew) purchased the diner from Tom in early 2010, with Robert still running the kitchen. 

The classic 50’s diner has a lot of history and has served customers from around the world. We’ve fed many famous customers as well as a few infamous customers. Among the celebrities to pass through Zip’s are Liberace, Alec Baldwin, Kim Basinger, Brian Dennehy, and Renee Zellweger. We’ve also seen our share of athletes. Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio would stop in on the way to see sculptor Armand Lamontagne . We’ve also served Carl Yazstremski and can count current boxing champ Peter Manfredo,Jr. as a regular customer.
