For more than 50 years, Connecticut's home-grown quick-service chain Duchess has been delivering quality food with convenient service and reasonable prices. Nothing is pre-cooked at Duchess, where all of the traditional American dishes (bacon and eggs, pancakes, cheeseburgers, Cobb salads) are made to order. Comfort food (crispy chicken sandwiches, Texas French toast, liver and onion sandwiches) coexists with lighter dishes (Asian chicken salad, veggie burgers). The drive-thru is a bonus for those in a hurry.
