Ok, since I started the thread I should post a few:
Roscoe's Big Dog (Hartford) - fantastic hot dogs and fries, and their steamed burgers are very good.
Eagle's Deli (Brighton, MA) - not exactly a hidden gem, but while everyone knows them for their big cheeseburgers (including the 12 pounder), but the food isn't just plentiful, it tastes really good. Their breakfasts are artery-clogging goodness.
Abbott's in the Rough (Noank, CT) - essentially in Mystic, they serve outstanding lobster rolls, and the seating gives a nice view of the water. It's pretty cheap for good seafood, and a nice place to spend the day.
There are a bunch more I can think of, but I'll leave it at that for now...
