Restaurants in East Lyme

“We had a two delicious meals. The duck was crisp and not fatty. I had the special with roasted potatoes and spiraled veggies with a delicious sauce. My husband thought his paella was very good. This new restaurant’s staff and owners try very hard to please their customers. We will definitely be back!”

“Taza is easily one of my favorite spots in Connecticut. The food is always fresh and full of flavor and you can tell they put real care into what they serve. I had the mixed grill and hummus, and both were amazing. The place has a really comfortable vibe, and the staff make you feel right at home. It’s the kind of spot you walk into once and already know you’ll be coming back.”

“MOST DELICIOUS DONUTS for the literal best prices I’ve ever seen. The staff is lovely, the shop has a pleasant vibe, and my kids are always thrilled to have Flander’s donuts! It’s cash only (which I forget a lot, that’s why I’m mentioning it) but they have an ATM machine in the shop. So recommended!”

“04.08.25 - 'Big Al's Reel Reviews' Ep.79 Ft. Apathy 💎Flanders Fish Market & Restaurant💎 22 Chesterfield Rd Town of East Lyme, CT Yo listen, I absolutely LOVE Flanders Fish Market & Restaurant! My Brother Ap and I had an excellent experience at this amazing spot! When walking in for the first time I loved being greeted by all that fresh seafood on display! The atmosphere was dope. AP & I always find ourselves talking to everyone that walks by our table 😀 but it is fun. We had a Dope time. The service was very warm and inviting with the staff being very friendly and nice to everyone. Our server was named Jasmine and she was super cool and I liked how she always kept my water filled. Trust me, I drink a lot of water too!😁 Now let's get into the Amazing Seafood! Al ordered: 1. Lobster Roll W/truffle fries $32💣💣💣 2. Seafood platter with Pollock & Brussel Sprouts $38.00 💣 3. Hosmer Root Beer $2.99 🫣😁 AP ordered: 1. 1lb Steamers $20.00 💣 2. Baked Haddock $25.00 💣 3. Coke Zero $2.99 Flanders earned a 'Big Al's 💎 Gem Spot' for many reasons but I need to highlight that I ate the very best Lobster roll ever! Hands down!! I stand by that!!! I love the way that it is served to the table in a bowl of perfectly seasoned butter is something AMAZING! On top of it, they served me a very generous portion of Lobster and it came with French Fries and for ONLY $32.00! I also ordered the seafood Platter and every single thing that was served on that plate was AMAZING! The fried Pollock was Amazingly Dope too! ❤️ Note: They also serve the Bomb Fish & Chips and every Tuesday it's only $7.99! 💣 I can go on and on about how great Flanders Fish Market is but you really need to get your a** down there right away and check it out! It's dope and I can't wait to return! See you on the rebound, ✌🏾 peace out. ☝🏾❤️ -Big Al Mayo”

If you are a sushi lover definitely worth it they have different options and the options are really good!!

Kid-friendliness: Amazing atmosphere to bring your family.”

“Amazing food and a really great atmosphere. The chef puts so much care into what she does and she makes everything tasty”

“My daughter chooses East Lyme Pizza over many restaurants. My family has been coming here since it was Ganz’s pizza. Never any complaints.”

“I came in with my friends and we had the best time (and margs)! Food was excellent and there is a lot of good choices on the menu!”

“Whoa, talk about a sandwich you can drool over! This is the small sandwich shop you've been looking for. Hot dogs are grilled to perfection, thank you for that quick stop that counts.”

“Food was delicious, service was spectacular - the way the manager in the brown jacket spoke to the all-female front line staff was disgusting. Do yourself a favor ladies, record his cowardly intimidation talking and get him for hostile work environment. He should be ashamed of himself.”

“Great wait staff was friendly and the food was delicious! Loved the clam chowder and fully belly roll!”

“Smokey O'Grady's is a bar where the locals hang out, so you may feel like you're back in high school. If this is your first time here, don't expect the same service as a local. The food options are nice since they have a big menu. Drink options are endless here. Food and drink prices are reasonable. Our waiter was the bartender as well. This man deserves a good raise.”

“First time customer = was very pleased,food fresh and tasty.. Restaurant was very clean inside.”

“Highly recommend!! Best Italian food around! Waitstaff is amazing as well, which makes for an even better dining experience! You won’t be disappointed!!”

“I love this place! Thank you, Stephanie for all these years ❤️”

“I had the guacamole and chips and the pork belly tacos and carnitas tacos. The food was good I really enjoyed the pork belly. The chips were heavily seasoned if that’s your thing.”

“Our family loves going to celebrate after games, report cards, etc and our son usually picks The Plum Tomato, East Lyme. Great pizza by the slice - old school pizza shop with limited dine-in seating.

Kid-friendliness: Great place for kids! Small birthday party location too”

“Hibachi is always fantastic”
