“One of the best meals I’ve had, cooked to perfection. The homemade pasta and sauce was delicious. So many other delicious dishes on the menu to try. Waitstaff were very pleasant and Sonia and family made us feel welcome. Atmosphere is warm and inviting. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Best hot dogs on the East Coast. The nostalgia of Rawley’s just makes the food that much better. I grew up in Fairfield but have not lived there since college. When my family and I go back, 4 or 5 times a year, this is our first stop off the highway! If you have not been, definitely go! If you have been, then you are as lucky as I am!”
“I drove 2 and a half hours down I-95 from Boston to check this place out. I was pretty apprehensive about the whole thing, but it ended up being worth it as the small pizza was almost as big as the large. The pizza plus the orange juice ended up costing $13 and the employee that greeted me when I walked in was so sweet I wanted to give her a hug, though I made her a little nervous doing this. The combination of the pizza and the orange juice was perfect for the pill I had to take as well! My waiter Chris came and took my order with a clipboard and even let me eat and told me to have a bite while he got my review. He even had a full camera crew filming me while I did it, meaning I was going to end up being on TV! I might have gotten a little too horny with my review though, as I might of came off as a dishonest dirty person to him lol. He was so nice though I even offered him a slice of my pizza, but he politely declined. After I ate, I got a police escort to get the full story as there were about 14 cops that saw my review and wanted to know if I was serious about it. I told them this pizza was so great, that if I ever got married, it would be at this place where I would also sign the contract. I didn't get to go back to this place for about 30 months afterwards (no reason behind it) but I never forgot how great the food and experience was! My friend Sonny Derek Porter will tell you how great it is too! Totally recommend it to y'all! This pizza is worth going to prison for!”
“Once again last night you did not disappoint me. Food was great, Service was great, Drinks, well, Espresso Martini, I can drink them all night. I don't have a unpleasant thing to say. Was there with some friends of mine and their daughter who's back from school for a long weekend. No pictures of food, you know what your food looks like. Probably 50% cheaper than some of the restaurants a little further down the Post Rd in Fairfield Center that I drove by. I never feel rushed at your place. Thanks again for making a special night even more special.”
“Absolutely love this place! Staff is genuinely some of the nicest people and their tonkotsu ramen is my favorite because of the sweet corn broth. Come up to Fairfield just for it! Pork baos are a good runner up too! Honestly have nothing to complain about. Awesome food and awesome service :)”

“I had the pleasure of dining at Esh Restaurant for the first time, and it was truly a delightful experience. The restaurant offers a wonderful Mediterranean menu in a beautifully decorated atmosphere. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly and received amazing service throughout our meal. The food was exceptional! Each dish was bursting with authentic flavors and made with fresh ingredients. I particulary loved the hummus & flatbread selections, branzino with sweet potatoes. The sparkling water & cocktails were delicious. The presentation was also impeccable, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. The ambiance of Esh is captivating, with intricate décor and cozy lighting that transports you to the Mediterranean feels. The attention to detail in every aspect of our visit, from the decor to the service, truly enhanced the dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend Esh Restaurant for anyone looking to savor delicious Mediterranean cuisine in a charming setting with top-notch service. I can't wait to return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“The people here, the food here. It doesn’t get more authentic. I gotta say it’s Fairfield’s hidden gem. Not your average fairfield restaurant, the care that the staff gives, the owner and family - is extraordinary. Real authentic Greek food. The pastisio, the chickpea beet salad and their octopus omg. But you can’t go wrong with any of the options in the limitless menu. And wait did I mention the cocktails?”
“Great Italian restaurant! The pizza is a nice, filling thin crust pizza - crunchy crust, but still slightly chewy. I liked the octopus, though it was served on a bed of puree and other vegetables. My dad loved the flavor of the vodka sauce pasta, but I liked the clam pasta slightly better (though it was a tad saltier than I like). Overall, delicious food, casual atmosphere for lunch, I will definitely be coming again, maybe for their happy hour”
“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much”
“Writing this review while I’m still sitting here because it was that good. My three friends and I decided to try somewhere new, and from the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with such warm, friendly energy.
We ordered five tapas along with our meals, and everything was honestly a 10/10. The ceviche and chicharrón tapas are a must, and the ropa vieja was hands down some of the most flavorful shredded meat I’ve ever had. The drinks were also top tier and perfectly made.
Even the music and wait staff were amazing and really added to the overall vibe of the place.
I would 1000% recommend this spot and will definitely be coming back.”

“This was a really cute and comfortable place for dinner; I'm really happy my friend suggested it. The staff was really nice and the food was delicious! If you do decide to get the nachos though, be prepared for the family style portion - it was no joke! Best part: it already came packaged in its own tray, so all you had to do was put the top back on and take it home. Very convenient, very efficient! :) Parking lot is small, but there's plenty of street parking to make up for it. I would definitely recommend!”

“This is a nice rest stop McDonald's. The only reason I didn't give five stars for atmosphere is because let's be real how much atmosphere can you get at a rest stop? Other than that the food was up to par the service was good and fast so high marks from me. We stop at this rest area fairly often on our trips up and down the East Coast.”
“I’m so happy this wonderful coffee house has come to our neighborhood. It was greatly needed and it is greatly appreciated. 😀”
“I brought my family here as a surprise. They LOVE sushi and I went to a revolving sushi place when I was younger in Florida.
They absolutely loved it. We were greeted with a welcoming smile. We were sat at the prime spot...at the beginning of the conveyor belt.
The food was fresh and delicious. You can also order off the menu if you don't see what you want on the belt.
Everyone here is super friendly and make you feel welcome.
This was the first time we were here and DEFINITELY won't be the last.
My wife wants to come all the time now. If we didn't live 30 minutes away we would come every week. We still might! It's THAT good!”
“First off, this is my favorite brewery and my family comes here all the time. The food is great, the drinks are awesome and the vibe is so fun. Now for the real reason for the review—- I had my 40th birthday party at Elicit recently, renting the full Biergarten for about 60 people. The whole event was lovely. Robin, the event manager, was easy to work with and super accommodating to all my requests. She worked with me to determine the best setup for the kind of event I was planning. I had an unexpected change at the last minute with my party (the main performer bowed out) and both Robin and the general manager Mary, sprang into action to help fix it. They made calls, kept following up, offered solutions and did whatever they could to ensure it would still be a great event. In the end, it was a spectacular day. Everything ran smoothly, food and drink were great, and the cost of the event was a good value. I would definitely recommend hosting an event at Elicit!”

“Had my future daughter in laws bridal shower this past weekend and had Layla cater the event. Layla went above and beyond for this event. The food was phenomenal! Everything was so fresh and absolutely delicious! Layla thank you so much for everything. Akram, you assisted me with total respect and kindness. I took some menus and everyone took one and complimented the food. They absolutely loved and really enjoyed all of it. Layla, can't wait for the wedding.”
“Visited SDW last week for lunch with a chef pal who has several restaurants overseas. When he is Stateside, he always searches for staple foods done right. Gary and the crew delivered on all fronts. My go-to is the New Englander, and it never disappoints. My buddy had the Chicagoan and loved it. We both got a burger as well, which was cooked perfectly and impressively juicy. We were both taken aback by the hand-cut fries with S&P. We commented on how hard it is to consistently turn out such high-quality, short-order potatoes, and Gary gave us a detailed rundown of their process. After a lengthy discussion, including the merits of whole-belly clams vs. strips, Gary even gave us an order of hand-battered onion rings to try, which were also stellar. Super Duper is the real deal, from the menu to the people!”

“Perfect spot for a quick lunch! Our meal today was a sausage and peppers calzone, 2 meatballs, and sweet chicken with macaroni salad. Nothing was left on our plates. The marinara sauce was savory, flavorful and I wish I could get a jar to take back to Texas! Thank you!!!”

“Good burgers at a reasonable price. And grey service too! Would highly recommend.”
“Incredible! Impeccable friendly service and outstanding food. If you don’t go to eat here you’re insane. Delicious menu, oversized plates and just the best ambiance. Go dressed up or down and you will be comfortable. We can’t wait to go back.”

“Today was my first time stopping in, and I enjoyed the Orange Power Smoothie which was refreshing and delicious! my friend enjoyed the Booster Smoothie. It was pretty hopping for a Saturday afternoon which was great, and it's important to support small local businesses and eateries these days. very thankful for the outdoor seating which worked out beautifully as today was a gorgeous day! I will be stopping in again sometime soon!🌞”

“As an African American gay woman, in a predominantly white town. I came into this diner expecting the worst. I was met with the complete opposite. The servers were super kind and talkative , the atmosphere was home like, the cook was quick and the food tasted amazing! We waited less than 5 mins for all our food ! We spend 53$-60$ with tip, which isnt bad for what we got ! The grilled cheese was so perfect , I got seconds !”
“I love this pizza! It's something between a New Haven style and New York style pizza - thin but not so thin, with a decent amount of crust on it. Becca d is dead wrong on her review, with respect to her. This pizza was perfectly cheesy, saucy, and delicious. Crust was solid, and it held its own. We got a large pepperoni and a small commuter pizza (which is a white pizza w/ chicken and sundried tomatoes). Boy, was that commuter pizza good! They are very efficient - had our pizzas hot and ready in twenty minutes. We will continue to order from Nauti.”
“Once again, the designer Marlene, did another excellent cake decoration. This is my second cake with Chaves Bakery, and once again I highly recommend them for anyone looking a beautiful and delicious cake. I thank you Marlene for your service, by the way the Red Velvet cake was delicious. Good Job once again.”
“Everything was delicious, and the hostess/server Jaime was fantastic, very knowledgeable. we will definitely back in our next visit to Fairfield.”
“Had an amazing time at this family owned restaurant! The food was amazing, the service was top notch, and staff were just so friendly. A unique intimate dining experience.”
“I went here for my birthday it was a great experience for the entire family and the pizza is amazing definitely recommend.”

“Absolutely amazing experience! The bone-in ribeye was hands down one of the best steaks I’ve had in a long time — perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. The fried calamari was delicious and crispy, cooked just right.
The atmosphere was great, the drinks were really good, and the customer service was top-tier. The staff was attentive and always ready to serve with a smile. You can tell they truly care about the experience.
Definitely coming back and highly recommend this place!”

“I recently hosted a surprise baby shower for my wife at the Indian Spice Club in Fairfield, and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect.
The food was incredibly tasty and authentic Indian cuisine. Our guests raved about every dish, and the fresh, hot naan served directly at the table was a definite highlight. The drinks were also excellent and complemented the meal beautifully.
Coordinating with Sharath made the whole process so easy. He was very accommodating, prompt, and quick to respond to every request and question I had, which was especially important while planning a surprise. He also gave us access to a private room in advance for decorations, which allowed us to set everything up beautifully for about 65 guests, including kids and family members.
The Spice Club Indian Kitchen provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and their attention to detail and service helped make the surprise a huge success. I highly recommend them for any special occasion, especially if you’re looking for delicious Indian food and an accommodating venue. Thank you, Indian Spice Club and Sharath, for making our baby shower so memorable!”

“Oggi Gelato is an absolute gem! The gelato is rich, creamy, and full of authentic flavor, with a variety of unique options to choose from. The interior is modern and inviting, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. A perfect spot for dessert lovers looking for quality and service!”
“My favorite place!! Delicious food, wonderful service and great atmosphere. Highly recommend trying the bacon, onion and fig pizza!! Great iced coffee!!”
“Haven hot chicken is THE place. PERIOD. Amazing food, amazing service. The employees care for you and are sweet, patient, kind and loving no matter the time of day. The food is always so fresh and good and my friends and I have been eating here for the last year and a half. We have probably gone to eat here 5+ times a month since then. Every single time … it’s a haven.”
“Just came to this place bc of the reviews — and wow does it live up to them. We got the Cashew Nuts & Swimming Rama (both with chicken) — so flavorful, with perfectly cooked chicken! Plus they generously shared their homemade coconut ice cream with us at the end. Yummmmmmm. Already looking forward to coming back.”

“The deli in the Old Post Market puts out some amazing sandwiches, that's what Guilfort Grimsly from the Radio City Bar there on Peabody road tells me every time I go there for a beer. He's always pumping up the place, so I asked him if he's getting a kickback from the place..he isn't but he smiled like he could have been. Well, I finally went to the Old Post Market, and got a couple of amazing sandwiches. 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆”
“Remember when all those people were talking about traffic increasing because of this place. Traffic was going to increase due to the jamming in of too many apartments. At least we can have a decent chicken sando now while we wait on traffic. Milkshakes are also quite good.”
“By far my favorite Indian restaurant anywhere around. Both the food and service are always excellent. Definitely recommend trying the chicken saag or butter chicken, and the presentation of the chicken medley is just amazing!”
