“Amazing food and great staff!!!!!“

“I really enjoyed the Yellowstone pizza! Flavor was on point and crust was 👌 👌!

I also had ordered from DoorDash and I was craving crispy chicken instead of grilled but there was no option to substitute. I called the store directly and asked them if they could accommodate me, and they did! I know it was probably a pain in the butt, so I was thankful they accommodated my picky request. Next time I will order and pick up in person to thank them directly.“

“live in mass but spend 6 months in ct. we stay very close to Clyde's who has good slushy but u beat their donuts hands down. yours are light on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside, the cinnamon sugar sticks better. theirs are heavy and too dence. now we drive the distance to u for a much better selection of hard ciders as well. well worth the trip!“

“I had bunny chow and my best friend had Jollof rice and egusi soup. We didn´t have anything to say besides that the food was amazing!!!!!? Also the staff was PERFECT MOSTLY THE OWNERS KID JULLIAN MATEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“A culinary delight! I took my family to Oyster Club on a Saturday evening after some shopping in Mystic and had a wonderful experience. The oyster happy hour was fantastic. As a raw oyster enthusiast, I was elated at the quality and price. I had a dozen oysters myself and had to stop myself from getting more- they were SO GOOD! The blackfish I had for dinner was excellent. The ramp hummus was a real highlight. For dessert, we had the maple ice cream which was the most delicious ice cream I have ever had. It was a real treat to come here. You can tell that the food is made with heart and served with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. I’ll definitely be back soon.“

“We had a baby shower for my daughter and son-in-law at the Dog Watch Mystic, and I could not be happier with them. The tent and grounds were perfectly appointed, the food was fantastic, and the entire staff was wonderful. Thank you, Dog Watch!“

“Food was great and atmosphere was wonderful!“

“Got an ultimate green smoothie. It was so good. Was not super sweet which I loved but if you like yours sweet make sure to add some sort of sweetener. The price was reasonable for the quality you get. Everyone was very nice as well. Definitely going back!“

“Great food and great service! Bartenders make a great sangria 🙌🏻“

“The food was very good! My husband and I shared the Lobster roll it wasn’t overly buttered , you can taste the lobster. The atmosphere eas nice and service was good.“

“We’ve been to the old location (several times) and the new one and it’s still one of our top 3 breweries to go to! Great beers, great staff and great pizza! Tox is definitely a must when traveling in or through CT and RI.“

“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!“

“I loved the ice cream. It was Hershey's, and the staff was super nice. The only objection that I might have is that they're dark chocolate. Ice cream had raspberry swirl. It would be nice to have just a dark chocolate. Ice cream for my wife. I had the cookies and cream with rainbow shots. Yum.“

“Best Ice Cream. Chocolate was delicious. Husband had Rum Raisin, loved it“

“The Early Riser breakfast sandwich-💯“

“We just took my daughter for her 17th birthday, she originally wanted sushi. She looked at the menu and immediately changed her mind and chose to try her first seafood boil! She absolutely LOVED IT! The servers are fast and friendly and the food is GREAT! She chose snow crab legs and black mussels, my boyfriend had a crab cluster combo and I had a sausage boil combo. Everything was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. We will 100% be coming back!!!! Highly recommend!“

“I ordered my wedding cake from Li's Bakeshop in December of 2023. It was for 60 people and was a two tier chocolate cake with oreo filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. I was able to show the baker a picture of the design I was thinking about in the frosting and asked for a little bit of gold on it as well. The result was even better than me or my husband could've imagined! It was the absolute perfect, sweet ending to our amazing day!! All of our guests couldn't stop telling us it was the best cake they've ever had. We were able to save two slices and they're in the freezer awaiting our first anniversary. We've been long time customers and wouldn't have trusted anyone else to make our cake for us.“

“The food here is wonderful! Nice atmosphere and a beautiful setting. We go every summer with a group of friends for their outdoor YARN concerts. Highly recommend. 5 stars.“

“Tasty coffee! Highly recommend!“

“Our server, Sher P was wonderful. The resturant was very busy but she was extremely intentional to make sure we were comfortable. Her customer service was outstanding. The food was very good as well. We both wanted salads (cobb salad and strawberry salad) and they were more than we could eat. Thank you Sher for such a great customer service experiance.“

“Best cold pressed juices! I’m a new Weekly “stopper”. I place an order on line generally 24hours prior to pick up. (So easy to order) pick up being just as quick and easy. Staff is always so kind and accommodating!! To be 💯 honest, these are THE FRESHEST juices around! I have tried many other cold pressed juices and these are not comparable!!! Karma uses fresh ingredients and the difference is in every sip! Literally Karma Kitchen juices WELL SURPASS ALL OTHER JUICES I’ve tried! No turning back!! I’m so grateful I found this place! 🥕🥒“

“Flan is phenomenal! Pernil is perfect, to stones delicious 😋, and the beans are out of this world!!! The owner is always gracious and sweet to me, very personable. They throw in a piece of skin in with the pulled pork. One of my my monthly stops❤️ potatoe balls are also great!“

“Everything I've had at Nanas has been excellent! my favs are the drinks, risotto balls, pizza and hot donuts! The staff is the best!“

“Stopped here after a girls day out book shopping, this place is awesome! Friendly, happy staff with healthy, delicious food!“

“i just wanted to shoutout Jake's Diner for their above and beyond customer service. i placed an order on door dash because I had knee surgery and its a rainy day. The door dash driver delivered me someone else order from a whole different place and then tried to blame it on the restaurant. when I called the restaurant they made me a whole new fresh order and even delivered it to me and they dont even deliver. That type of service is rare now a days. I will continue to support our local businesses. Thank you so much!“

“Its a binary option; take it or drive around the long way …DUH. The RV ticketing contrast between Cross Sound and Cape May/Lewes is night and day. On Cross Sound, rigs that are 23’ or longer you can only phone order your ticket (and pay double the price). No rhyme or reason why; operator takes the same information and enters it instead of you doing it online. Office hours are yours to guess…not listed. Just remember no guns and shut off your propan.“

“The service was great, drinks were delicious and the pork chop….perfection!“

“I work in the same plaza; my coworkers and I tried them for the first time today… Amazing! Be sure to stop in for a lunch menu. Their sandwiches are phenomenal. I had the shrimp one and my boss had the steak. Another person had the pork stew and the other had something from the dinner menu (not sure what). We all raved about the portions and deliciousness. A must try!!“

“Super delicious, fast service, cool decor/venue and prices are great! Highly recommend!“

“We have been coming to David's place for a long time - usually very good. This time (7/23) was not the greatest. Ordered sea food salad roll toasted. It was not toasted and they have changed the sea food salad since last month. It was really good before - now it's more "Stop and Shop" type salad with big chunks. Before it was chopped up small and had a delicious taste. Also the chips were obviously the "bottom of the bag" ones. Sorry - just disappointed. We drove quite a few miles to eat there.“

“Food was amazing!!!!!!!!!!“

“Had a nice birthday lunch there and tried the excellent Scallops with mushroom risotto. Soups and desserts all made in house. I enjoyed my meal looking out at the water. The restaurant has been remodeled and is beautifully decorated.“

“We had a reservation for dinner on a Saturday night at 6 so no wait time to be seated. No issues finding parking, they have a small parking lot in front and in the back that is reserved for their customers and other shops in that building. Menu is upscale American overall everything was good. I was disappointed they were out of the mussels I was looking forward to trying those. Deviled were beautifully presented, hush puppies were delicious and the pan seared scallops were cooked perfectly.“

“love karaoke night, love the bartenders and service“

“MUST COME BACK! I have been many times, and it just never disappoints. There are no bad seats. Super social environment. Amazing rotating tap list. The food...! THE FOOOOOD! Never a dull moment at the Jealous Monk.“

“BEST CLAM FRITTERS. I am a local guy and have lived here most of my life. Every summer I conduct my version of the great fritter chase. SEAVIEW SNACK BAR, is the 2023, UNDISPUTED winner. Best quality and Quantity of clams, best taste, best of all the cheapest. CONGRATULATIONS SEAVIEW, they got fritters right.“

“Have been here several times and always enjoyed a great meal. Surprised by the recent lower rating but decided to go back and try the food anyway.
We enjoyed our soup and entrees. Service was good and staff helpful. Even prepared Prik Nam Pla for us when requested. Will go back again.“

“We ate 4:30PM June 26th 2025 enjoyed the food service was great and friendly we will be back soon Anne and Jack“

“A great spot to hang and try new craft beer. Sean goes out of his way to integrate everyone who's at the bar even if it is a slow night by doing various types of trivia and/or jackbox. People look forward to bad movie nights on Wednesday night at 8:00 where we make fun of terrible movies. And many live performances from DJ's to bands.“

“I went here with my family and let me tell you, it is the definition of FEEL GOOD PLACE! It is a cozy little cafe with 80’s or maybe earlier, handheld games spread throughout the cafe. While we waited we enjoyed playing many games I hadn’t played in years! While we were just chit chatting, all the sudden marshmallow come flying at us! My daughter thought it was so cool, we looked over to see one of the ladies shooting them from behind the counter. She came over a little while later to squirt ketchup and mustard at us, it was a prank but very funny! It was really just a string. To top it off, she brings a small claw machine so my daughter could play it and win some prizes. We found out that they feed squirrels that come up to the window, so we inquired and one of the women tried to get the squirrel to come so we could see it. Unfortunately it did not happen but honestly, just left feeling like my soul was warmed. The food was amazing! The coffee was hot and all the women working there were truly a delight! I wish I lived closer, I’d definitely become a regular. Best part- aside from taking some photos for memories, no one was on their phone. Just really enjoying the cafe and experience.“

“Good wings and burgers. And the service was excellent“

“Came in for 2 orders of crazy bread during lunch time. One employee was working very hard to help everyone, prepare orders and check them out. The location is very small as there were 4 customers in the store and it was a tight fit. However, the employee kept it moving and I didn’t wait longer than 5 minutes to receive my order and it was PERFECT! She was happy and knowledgeable and everything I could hope for in a visit! I will be returning to this location for more crazy bread! Keep up the good work! :)“

“Absolutely love this place!! We go every Sunday and have never been disappointed! The staff is amazing and always make us feel welcome! I have nothing bad to say at all. Thank you Skippers for making our family time great!“

“Food was fantastic and flavorful.“

“This is a street side shack, no ambiance but the food was delicious, fish, calamari, clam bites, shrimp, onion rings and fresh made delicious Cole slaw. Caitlin was super nice, made suggestions and we were delighted. Although I didn’t love the New England clam chowder or lobster bisque, my husband did!“

“such amazing care staff! never a wrong order! love this starbucks!!“

“Was pleasantly surprised to see Freds Shanty open for a quick bite to eat! And even more so when Ozzie came out to say hello and that he just recently bought and opened the place! Scallop roll was yummy! And reasonably priced. I treated myself since I’ve been home all winter lol!“

“I liked this place. It’s solidly good. Everything is made to order with fresh ingredients. Their salsas could use some refining - not a lot of flavor & depth to them. but I liked everything else.
The chips are just standard thick corn fried tortillas chips so nothing great about them. I ordered the fried avocado soft taco which was fine except that the avocado was underripe so not ideal. The creamy chipotle sauce was very good but I think the avocado taco needs a savory salsa to offset the creamy avocado. I also had a pulled pork taco which was good - the salsa verse was good but not great. I will stop in again & try some other items.“
