Restaurants in Hamden

Wentworth Homemade Ice Cream

I would of given them a 5 star but if it wasn't for the flies around place looks very clean reminds me of nostalgic times. The ice cream is very very good . You can taste it's home made, I like the buttercream pecan one! So good. Service was very nice the team felt welcoming. I would deff go back.

Ashley's Ice Cream

Over the years, on and off, I have been to Ashley's. Always consistently good, no disappointments. Whether it be the ice cream or frozen yogurt. The flavors are nice and balanced and not overly sweet. Toppings are fresh and more upgraded. Recently in the Fall, I had the opportunity to try the seasonal Pumpkin Ice Cream. Wow!!! It was Outsanding. It was even better topped with some chocolate sauce. I have never had Pumpkin Ice Cream before, but words can't describe how good it really is. Ashley's is located on the corner section of Hamden Plaza near Shop Rite, Marshall's, and DSW. Through out the day, it is busy at lunch and dinner time. It seems to have a good reputation in this area. I highly recommend it.

The Soup Girl

My friend recommended I try the soup, not feeling well and really needed a bowl of soup,it took awhile for the Uber to deliver my order, but it was worth the wait. DELICIOUS ? ? ?.and the salted chocolate chip cookie. Great job The Soup Girl.

MiKro Depot

We found MiKro after dropping of our son at college. Was expecting a pub grub kind of place but the food so was so much better. Great beer selection and our server was knowledgeable and friendly. All in all a great experience. We'll be back next time through Hamden

Funcle's Café

Nice little breakfast/lunch place. Price are little more than I expected, but worth it. Had a bacon, egg (2) and cheese ($5.50) and loved it! The frozen coffee made with premium ice cream ($6-6.50) exceeded my expectations and was delicious! They have an interesting menu with plenty of offerings and the specials are very creative. They can get busy though, so leave a little extra time if you're in a hurry. I'll be back here often!Vegetarian options: They offer several optionsParking: When they are busy the lot can get fullWheelchair accessibility: No restrictions noticed.

Grab and Go Empanadas

If you want some of the best Empanadas in the tristate area, then you must make your way to Grab and Go in Hamden, Ct. This place is no frills and can be easily missed due to its small size but food has huge flavor and is very reasonably priced. THIS IS A MUST TRY.

Midori Hamden

Very nice restaurant with home-style cooking. The atmosphere is cozy with a small radio in the corner and what I imagine is the owner serving and cooking.She was very kind, offering many little extra sides and was very fun to chat with. It had all the good experiences I think of when it comes to Korean cooking. The dishes were all very good. Nothing too fancy, but good pricing, quantity, and taste..

Ray & Mike's Deli

Do yourself a favor and make your way over to this space. Whether for dinner, a picnic, a hungover Sunday, they have something for everyone. ALL THE SANDWICHES SLAP. Don’t sleep on Ray..or Mike. They have tons of creative combos, I won’t say what my favorite is but it involves pulled pork, bacon, and Mac & Cheese. LAWWWWD

FRESKOS

I've been to Freskos several times now and felt it's enough to post a review. The restaurant is spotless, the staff very friendly and welcoming. But the food is delicious! Everything I've had is super fresh and well prepared. Its a little tucked away but I highly recommend seeking it out.

Country Food Market

I must have an addiction to the sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich from this place. I get one every week. They have the best sandwiches and the friendliest service ever. Do yourself the favor and stop in and get a anything from the family owned deli. And the baked good are made in house and are extremely yummy, especially the peanut butter cookies.

Cumin India Restaurant

They hosted a huge group of us and were so happy to serve us, even though it was a lot of work. Food slapped, the naan wasn't my favorite, but other people loved it.

Sapori D'Italia

The food is great. I've ordered several different dishes and they all were very good. Everything is always fresh. The customer service is excellent!Parking: Side of the building, plenty of parking spaces

No Worries Brewing Company

waaaay better service, cleaner, cheaper & no mice unlike the Super 8 in West Haven ...front desk and cleaning staff friendly!!? I always use this place the Econolodge... I NEVER USE SUPER 8 CUZ ECONOLODGE IS GREAT! LOL!

The Playwright Irish Pub Restaurant &Banquet Facility

We had the best time here last night!! Friendly service, great Irish whiskey, the bangers and mash were authentic and AMAZING, and the fish fry was light and crispy! And loved the band, too! Will be back!

Hamden Town House

The food was good. It is typical diner food. Everything we ordered was good. We did need to add salt/pepper to some things, but not unexpected. Staff was friendly and place was clean. We would eat here again.

Yummy Poké Sushi Bubble Tea

Came in for lunch and got 3 rolls for 14.50 per their lunch special and they did not disappoint! This place has quality food at quality prices and will definitely visit again!

Jasa Asian Cuisine

A local restaurant trying to cover Asian )Japanese and Chinese. It does adequately in both but excellent in neither. But it's convenience, excellent take out an good parking are positive pluses.I really real like Chinese menu with some Japanese options like seaweed saladKid-friendliness: See families with children

Ibiza Restaurant Hamden

Cozy place, tasty food. I like sitting outside. Service was good, the guy tried his best, was polite, but his English wasn't very good. Make sure they understand exactly what you want. Love this place ❤️

Crab Town

Crab town is one of the few places you can close your eyes and feel like you’re in Maine. The food is fresh, the service comes with a smile, and the crabs fight back as you try to eat them, screaming for their worthless lives until the steak knife triumphs and extinguishes their life with a satisfying crunch. Some crabs will even beg for their lives, pleading that they have a wife and kids before succumbing to their buttery demise. 5/5 would crab again.

Thai Smile Restaurant

i dont know whats all the complaining is about from others. when i read the reviews seems like they were just picky poeple.this place had been great everytime i order.

Sonobana

Traditional Japanese. Very good!Love the bento boxes, so many options. Don't be shy, ask questions about the menu and substitutions, they are happy to accommodate you!Off Street parking behind the restaurant.

Whitney Garden

The food is just regular tasting. I ordered chickenl with broccoli, and the chicken had a slimy texture. Pork fried rice had a plain taste. Onion was the only vegetable included. Also ordered fried chicken wings, which still had feathers attached to them.The staff was very friendly.

Uncle Jimmy's 173 Surf & Turf

I’ve gone to this restaurant 3 times now and I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals. If I had to recommend anything it would be the chicken sandwich and fried shrimp. I encourage anyone looking for seafood spot to check this place out.

Pianca Pizza

I Stumbled upon this place kind of by accident waiting for an Uber and I'm so glad I did the service was amazing everyone was super friendly and willing to help/work the food was great As well it's your typical pizza place With a typical pizza place menu. The specials looked awesome but I went in a little too late to enjoy them .So I will definitely be stopping back in to check them out.

Paul & Eddy's Pizza

Again I am not a fan of Connecticut pizza so I am not going to be giving any pizza places here 5 stars but they are pretty good. Better than some others here. The real best kept secret is their "dough to go" $4 for " large dough that honestly was barely enough for two hungry adults but you can use it with your toppings and have it ready to go for dinner. This is awesome and I will be buying much more of this in the future. You really have almost nothing to do but you can convince friends and family that you are a pizza making superhero! Highly recommend this dough to go.

Legend Pizza

Very nice place to order from very clean and inside great customer service if you have a question about something they are willing to explain the prices of what two three items will cost you before you order it and it also have real good delicious food recommend anyone to give them a try.Parking: You can Basie park on the side street or you can basically Park alongside of the plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely have wheelchair access not a problem there are no steps

Gold Star Chinese Restaurant

Have been going here for Chinese food for many many years, the food is relatively consistent and always piping hot. Prices are high but they don't skimp on the amount of food you order. We've tried other places and they don't compare.

China Wok

Great food selection, price and quality! You can never go wrong with this place! I live in another town, but I’ll drive to hamden for this food any chance I get! Very accommodating on food specifications!

Blessings II Go

My family has been getting take out from here for years! Foods always great and the owner even gives us special Chinese treats or fruits during the holiday season

Superior Whitney Pizza

I’ve NEVER eaten here. But I was in desperate need of a restroom & quick, to avoid a puddle in my shoes. The young lady was very nice & the bathroom was clean. I’ve tinkled all over America & some places make you purchase something to use a restroom. Shameful! I’m always appreciative when an establishment is kind just because. I frequent the UPS next door. I’ll be sure to stop in for some food the next time I drop off pkgs.

Three Brothers Diner

The food was good everything made to order, our waiter was kind, patient and entertaining. The pricing was competitive in this harsh economy ?Parking: . The entire staff were very accommodating, and their hours tailored to satisfy your desire.

Acropolis Diner

Open 24/7Good eats, nice spot after a night of parading the bars or you have some time for breakfast before a long journey.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kid options and friendly staff.Parking: Large enough parking lot that wraps around the building.

McDonald's

This McDonald’s in Hamden is on their A- game, fast service, fresh food and staff move with a great sense of urgency. ???? 5/5 Highly recommend this location over North HavenKid-friendliness: They have the play palace here for kids

Orale Tacos Hamden

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in CT! The food is fresh and authentic, the service is spectacular, and every time I go back I notice something new - they’re always putting money and effort back into the restaurant. I drive almost an hour just to eat here!

Lynons Restaurant And Bar

Slowest service ever. Unless your gonna stay for a few hours i don't recommend ordering food. Though the food is good. Ive been here serveral times and always food took 30 minutes or longer to be served this is a big complaint among their customers. The servers weren't the nicest.. though once i weren't and there was a very ocomidatiting young lady gave her fat tip. For a really good time at Lynons i recomend you eat before you go there. Last time i went staff was under age i had to get up and get my parties n my drinks. The Bar staff are the best . Nice vibe entertainment is always on point. They have great parking off street. It's also hard to find even with GPS. It sits back in the cut and the sign is small so if your not familiar with its location slow down nd look hard.

Glenwood Drive-In

It is a smal informal place where one often comes for takeout. There is some seating. Basically the menu is hamburgers, hot dogs, buttery lobsrer rolls with french fries or onion rings and coleslaw., Soda. Paper products. Informal. Great for kids and families. Also college students from nearby schools.Kid-friendliness: Informal kid friendly

Side Street Bar & Grill

Great food experience! Haven't been here in years. I wasn't sure if COVID had changed things. Just the prices. My brother and I had burgers and beer. He ate dessert too. Burgers cooked as request. Pleasant and low key server. Perfect Saturday night supper. Not cheap eats anymore but moderately priced night out for two.

McDonald's

This McDonald's has been very generous with ingredients and fresh prep was great. Wish all McDonald's were like that all the time but that's not the case.

TGI Fridays

Honestly I am not much of a chain food eater, but we had a coupon so we tried it. Was pleasantly surprised with the food, the service was very good and I appreciated the always happy hour prices on some simple wines beers and drinks. I know this location has been open a long time, it was busy but not super busy when we were there, I hope they have enough business to keep going.

Common Grounds Hamden

Visiting from Texas and looking for a great cup of coffee. They had a rich dark Peruvian that made my morning! The cakes and the staff were also sweet and perfect!Skip the national chains and try this amazing coffee shop!

The Cellar on Treadwell

Came here for the show, we ate before we came. This place was great. Its a small venue, people were friendly, food smelled good, show was great. My wife had a great time. More importantly though, the bathroom.....THE BATHROOM was super clean, even at the end of the night. Definitely coming

Brown Stone House Restaurant

I've been going here for years and the food is always great. I enjoy their chicken tenders and fries meal when I want lunch and there are a ton of great breakfast options. Depending on the day, it can get pretty crowded here though. It's great on weekdays or off hours on weekends, but during peak brunch time, I would not go here with a large group.Parking: The parking lot is free and a very short walk from Brown Stone House, but during peak hours, you may not find a spot. There are other free parking lots nearby though and the nearby restaurants don't all have the same busy times as Brown Stone House, so that helps.

Fresh Greens & Proteins Hamden

They have excellent rice / salad bowls. My go to is the chicken salad over a bed of spinach. Surprisingly well made from a small healthy option place. Great options...Keto Bombs too !

Bread & Chocolate

Delicious coffee. Delicious scones. Amazing breakfast sandwiches. I loved the extra detail of adding a two once cup of fresh fruit complimentary to the sandwich. It's definitely worth the wait, even though it's always a short wait. The staff is super friendly, and the girl in the front seems to keep great composure under lots of pressure. Cudos to her. A great mom and pops styled shop in Hamden. A hidden gem for sure. Also very low prices for their high quality food!! So, make sure you tip your order takerr!!

DiSorbo's Italian Bakery

Ordered door dash: a lobster tail, sfogliatella, and mini chocolate lemon pies. Everything was good. The lobster tail was amazing, light and nice filling. The kids loved the lemon pies. And the sfogliatella was nice but could use a little more filling however it was still great. It was nice that it was able to be delivered (awesome to not have to drive into New Haven or anywhere else) AND that it was good too.

The Everyday Gourmet

The Everyday Gourmet is absolutely fabulous! We had them cater my grandmother’s 90th birthday party and they did a fantastic job.Pat was a huge help getting all the details sorted and made great suggestions for the menu. Good communication throughout the process.The food was delicious (people were talking all afternoon about how good it was), but what really blew us away was the service. Sue and Anthony were amazing. Efficient and professional and very friendly. They helped with everything from set up to clean up and did a great job of pacing the food throughout the party. They took especially good care of my grandmother, making sure she had anything she needed, taking the time to chat with her, and overall helping make sure her birthday was extra special.

Roishi

One of if not the best Japanese places in New Haven county. So lucky to live close by. The only thing keeping this place from being the perfect Japanese restaurant for me is they don't offer okonomiyaki. Of course if they did I'd probably be in here every week instead of every other week so maybe it's better for my wallet

Bomb Wings & Rice Bar

I loved everything I ordered. I'm picky about winhs. I LIVE for smoked wings from south, & juiciness of a good marinade, the Cola wings had both. They were quick to replace side dish that tasted off compared to how amazing other rice & vegetables were. Love a restaurant that stands by the quality of their food & when I got replacement was as good as others- The rice is so unique & tasty. Remind me of my favorite lunch break at Trader Joe's - Japanese Sticky Rice. Better tho. I can't waitbto try rest of flavors. They are take out only, but would be nice for a small table & chairs bar style like other take out spots for waiting.Vegetarian options: The Vegetables were perfectly done!! A Wing Spot to make the vegetable sides shine is rare. I ordered wings, but would go again when I want break from meat.

Sweet Seidner's Bake Shop

I live in an area where there's no Jewish bakery. Have ordered from a few places and was disappointed, but Sweet Seidner's is excellent. Highly recommended.

Venice Bakery

They make the best stuff breads around. They come in in aluminum bag, that you can bake them in. I had most of their breads and they ate all delicious. What I like about them they are full of filling from one edge to the other. You don't have to go to their bakery, instead you could pick them up in you local small market. I get mine fro T&J IGA on North High street, East Haven.

B & B Deli

First time trying this deli. Had the Turkey and Cheese on a roll. Added bacon, lettuce, tomato, salt, pepper, oil and vinegar. Roll was fresh and sandwich was made perfectly. Will definitely return again for lunch.

Sergio's Pizza Restaurant

Very much a local staple. The food here was delicious and the cookies were freshly baked. The staff here were very friendly, professional and welcoming. The pizza was a delicious New Haven style clam pizza which tasted wicked awesome. They had a wide variety of local soda available for purchase. The restrooms here were spacious and clean. Parking is convenient and easily accessible. I am looking forward to going back again soon!

Custom Cakes by Steve DiSorbo

Simply the most beautiful cake in all the land. Made with artistic precision. Delivery was impeccable. The service was over the moon with the strange requests I had. Steve made a once-in-a-lifetime event even more meaningful with his cake. I will be forever grateful for Steve and all he did.

The Corner Deli

Literally the best chicken cutlets I've had ever. Crispy, juicy, fresh. Sandwiches are PACKED. quick to order, spacious, lots of beverage options. Top 3 recommended delis from me

Ali Baba's Kitchen

I had the pleasure of dining at Ali Baba’s kitchen today and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The staff, in particular, was exceptional, and I was especially touched by the personal touch of the owner's immediate family member coming over to greet me.I decided to try the lemon chick and beef gyro combo and it was an absolute flavor explosion. The portion size was generous. The overall ambiance of the place was cozy and inviting, with a relaxed atmosphere and cleanliness of the restaurant added to the overall positive experience.Considering this was my first visit to this restaurant, I can confidently say that I will be returning again!

Wayback Burgers

Love Jake's. Burgers are the perfect size for my husband and the chicken tenders are much better than they used to be. It's almost as though they've learned how to perfect them over time. Everything was fresh and still hot. Driver very professional and cordial

Taco Bell

Had ordered vegetarian burritos, Mexican pizza and taco. All were well prepared and right stuffing. Taste good. Seating was available and clean. Ordered was ready without delay.

Dunkin'

I drive all the way across town just to come here because they always get my order Right. The other Dunkin's tell me 'our frozen coffee machine is down" I don't even worry about that when I come here cause they never say anything like this. They actually do their job. The night staff is definitely the best. They always make me feel welcome. Go out of there way to put a smile on your face. I go to order and they stop me and say hold up let me guess if I got it right "you want a..." I'm like exactly I don't even have to tell them they already know the order. Only complaint I have is that they used to be 24/7 but not anymore. They should change that.

KFC

I always use drive-thru ,but I never had a issue or complaint with the service or food. The employees are always friendly and have my order together quickly . The food is what you'd expect nothing over the top just chicken and sides . I am happy they started making bigger boxes ,because two pieces and one side never satisfies my hungry boys .

Dunkin'

ever since they remodeled, & hired new workers the customer service is amazing! very friendly staff & fast service i definitely recommend this store if you want to be in & out. they always make my coffee correct too! :)

Dunkin'

Never get the order wrong. I’m picky with my coffee but never had a bad order. The 3 women not sure all the names but they are spot on. I know Karina always got my order perfect. It’s nice when I go In they ask one or two I don’t even even have to order they just know it. I would recommend this Dunkin without hesitation. Most locations it’s hit or miss but not here. The staff should definitely get more recognition. They are very welcoming, perfect customer service, and multitask without an issue. Even when the line is packed they still keep a smile on their face and don’t let the pressure get to them. Definitely hard workers and give this location a great reputation. I don’t leave many reviews but have about 400,000 views on my reviews I do leave so I hope this brings you some business and make sure you give a special thank you to your employees!

Dunkin'

It's 12:30pm on a Sunday and both doors to the lobby are closed I watched about 6 customers drive away. Unbelievable. Lady looked at me and pointed to the drive thru even though I have no car at the moment so I have to stand in line embarrassed . A month ago I contacted customer service about the horrible experience I had which cost me 20 dollars. Worst drinks I ever purchased and was told the store would contact me with 48 hrs if not contact customer service back. So after 72 hours of waiting I contacted customer service and the never responded. I don't like to leave bad reviews especially to places I personally love. There reason was 3 people called out. Well unfortunately that's not my problem since I applied here myself 3 or 4 different occasions but got overlooked which I'll sfc I've never called out from a job so they had opportunity to hire employees that are hard working and dedicated but clearly see the ones who don't appreciate the value of a job. then the ones who would be better choice for the overall company. They need to evaluate whos responsible for hiring clearly over and over make the wrong choice and rather then train and promote them see if they even worthy of a demotion at the least my suggestion would be to terminate their employment seeing as they have cost the company thousands of dollars by paying staff who don't deserve it and the amount of customers they lost today alone speaks for it's self. Below is supposably a blueberry muffin even though it was something with oats and that below is supposed to be a frozen coffee. Sadly toilet water looks more convincing then that.This is an update which previously had a 5 star rating but little by little has pushed me to this directionUpdate.9/15The night shift. Got there game on point. Il gotta give it to them for making me change my opinion. I'll leave a more detailed opinion after work tonight

Burger King

The service was prompt! I don’t like lettuce & tomato and often I find that the Burger King people don’t follow this instruction although I customize my order. But this place was dfrnt & they followed my instruction properly! Loved that, but they don’t give ample ranch, or pepper. That’s why it’s a 4Star from me! Otherwise, burger was good taste wise, service was fast & atmosphere was good too!Kid-friendliness: Kids were enjoying the place so much!Parking: Parking lots are ample enough

Burger King

I stopped by at this location on Dixwell/Morse Street her with my niece and goddaughter around 745p-800p after ordering my god daughter accidentally knocked her drink over. The employee who assisted us was multitasking between the drive thru and the counter she was very helpful and nice both with taking the orders and assisted with cleaning the spill that was made kudos to Shay/Shae for providing good customer service. She did not have an attitude at all regarding the incident. I hope you are are treating her well because that's the kind of customer service employees you need in your establishment. Due to her great customer service you got 4 stars Shay/Shae keep up that sane energy wherever you go you never know who's watching

Moe's Southwest Grill

I usually prefer restaurants over chains! But we were shopping in Hamden, and decided to stop here for lunch. Bowl was tastier than I expected. Chips were freshly made and were on house. They had variety of salsas to choose from! Better than expectedVegetarian options: They have tofu!

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

They get four starts because they made every attempt to correct their wrongsThat is one thing I can say about the customers service team with Popeyes is they have a quick response system!

Dunkin'

Always get a mocha raspberry coffee either iced or hot. Just about every Dunkin , including this one, always gets it right. First time at this one and many years and everything was fine.

Best Video Film & Cultural Center

Coffee is always excellent, but they did away with the grill. The video section is outstanding. I understand they have live music during the summer, but I haven't been to that event.

Mazorca Mexican Cuisine LLC.

Delicious food, great service at affordable prices. The hibiscus agua fresca is highly recommended along wirh the chile relleno, tres leches. Everything tasted fresh.

Bread Basket

I've heard a lot about this bakery and its wonderful owner, so I made a special trip to it from East Rock (New Haven) today. I got there twenty minutes before closing. Getting to know this hospitable person, as well as pizza and bread, was my reward. Everything else was already sold out before me, unfortunately. A wonderful place, and I hope to get to know it better in the fall.

Thai Spice Restaurant

Stopped at tesla supercharger and had various lunch options. Thai Spice was great. I think they specialize in delivery since there are just a few tables but it was clean and the people were very friendly. I ordered a lunch special with green curry and side of dumplings. I also ordered a Tom Yum soup with shrimp. Everything was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend this place.

Richard's Corner Gourmet Deli

The food here is always so fresh. I know I can get an affordable meal full of veggies and protein. It’s also kid friendly. Come Thurs-Sat for their Korean specials. Love this place!

Barbara's Restaurant

Not the best place in the world to eat. It's doable sometimes. My wife had spoiled hash browns from this place s few months ago but I guess they cleaned up their act. Everything was ok this time.

Devin's Lounge

A awesome lounge to visit. See new and old friends. Have wonderful food, drinks and a great time. I think it awesome place to relax and enjoy yourself. I give it Thumbs up ?.

Tonino's Pizzeria

Amazing pizza. I always think about picking up a pie but then I remember that they don’t have a 18 inch pie. The difference between a 16 vs 18 inch is equivalent to an 8 inch pizza extra so it’s a big deal breaker. An 18 inch is a real large size and I think they should offer it even if they label it as “extra large”. If they did this I’m sure more people including myself would order more. Their next size up is a party size which is way too big. For 2-3 people, a 16 is too small and it’s way too costly to order a 16 inch and a 10 inch. For the meantime, I will stick to their slices. Amazing pizza. Very NY style pie.

Cuda's Seafood Restaurant

The service was really good. And the food came really quickly and it was so good.. Im definetly coming back when I'm in San francisco. Also the view is beautiful.

Subway

I am a superfan of the Subway Club --with roast beef, thank you VERY much-- and the Subways in Texas have discontinued carrying roast beef, thus I stopped eating at Subway. But count on Connecticut Subways continuing to carry RB and I'm glad to say the Subway Club is as good as it ever was! A great veggie fix with the protein & cheese like it was meant to be. ❤ it's good to be home again.

CFC Arena Bar & Grill

Subway

Went there last night to get something before my overnight shift. I met an employee named TJ. He was one of the nicest subway employees I've came in touch with at any subway. His customer service skills were way above his pay grade. I would like to bring attention to the management that I believe he deserves a raise or promotion. I felt very invited like I've know him forever and that level of customer service is why I'll be returning. So please give his performance an evaluation because I would hate to see you lose such an amazing employee sandwich was right on point. Service was on point and will be returning thanks to TJ. .

Dunkin'

The place was clean, the workers friendly. None of the workers were touching the food with dirty gloves. Will definitely go back when I'm working in Hamden.

Taco King

I’ve been eating from Taco King since I was kid. My favorite items on their menu would have to be the steak burrito and shrimp Mexican rice. Perfectly priced and tastes amazing. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Dunkin'

This location is by far my favorite location in the area. Today 5-08 they're were slammed busy in the morning, I felt bad for the three employees behind the counter buuuuuuut the two employees in the front which I believe were the manager and assistant manager (young blonde girl with glasses and spanish bearded gentleman) were ON FIRE making every order as it came in (I'm hoping they get paid for the super work they do!!!!), sandwich station was slow today but I understand because she looks "of age" but she was doing her best with the million orders that kept coming in. But 10/10 would always recommend this location!

Funcle's Café

Nice little breakfast/lunch place. Price are little more than I expected, but worth it. Had a bacon, egg (2) and cheese ($5.50) and loved it! The frozen coffee made with premium ice cream ($6-6.50) exceeded my expectations and was delicious! They have an interesting menu with plenty of offerings and the specials are very creative. They can get busy though, so leave a little extra time if you're in a hurry. I'll be back here often!Vegetarian options: They offer several optionsParking: When they are busy the lot can get fullWheelchair accessibility: No restrictions noticed.

Coffee is always excellent, but they did away with the grill. The video section is outstanding. I understand they have live music during the summer, but I haven't been to that event.

Starbucks

Standard Starbucks fare but every food item or drink I've gotten has tasted fine and come out at the correct temperature. Long wait a lot of the time but that's mostly due to the nature of the location and the limited space available. Great attitude from the staff most of the time. Even though the space is small it's still conveniently located.

I don’t leave many reviews but have about 400,000 views on my reviews I do leave so I hope this brings you some business and make sure you give a special thank you to your employees!

Dunkin'

It's 12:30pm on a Sunday and both doors to the lobby are closed I watched about 6 customers drive away. Unbelievable. Lady looked at me and pointed to the drive thru even though I have no car at the moment so I have to stand in line embarrassed . A month ago I contacted customer service about the horrible experience I had which cost me 20 dollars. Worst drinks I ever purchased and was told the store would contact me with 48 hrs if not contact customer service back. So after 72 hours of waiting I contacted customer service and the never responded. I don't like to leave bad reviews especially to places I personally love. There reason was 3 people called out. Well unfortunately that's not my problem since I applied here myself 3 or 4 different occasions but got overlooked which I'll sfc I've never called out from a job so they had opportunity to hire employees that are hard working and dedicated but clearly see the ones who don't appreciate the value of a job. then the ones who would be better choice for the overall company. They need to evaluate whos responsible for hiring clearly over and over make the wrong choice and rather then train and promote them see if they even worthy of a demotion at the least my suggestion would be to terminate their employment seeing as they have cost the company thousands of dollars by paying staff who don't deserve it and the amount of customers they lost today alone speaks for it's self. Below is supposably a blueberry muffin even though it was something with oats and that below is supposed to be a frozen coffee. Sadly toilet water looks more convincing then that.This is an update which previously had a 5 star rating but little by little has pushed me to this directionUpdate.9/15The night shift. Got there game on point. Il gotta give it to them for making me change my opinion. I'll leave a more detailed opinion after work tonight

Starbucks

Mad respect for the staff. A couple weeks ago we had a terrible snow storm. I've driven plenty in storms like this over the years on the ambulance and fire department. That day was one of the worse and i was driving a truck. The entrie staff not only came to work and opened, but they were so pleasant and unphased. We waited out the storm a little longer and canceled our drive.to vt because of weather. Thank you, because coffee is what runs 1st and 3rd shift!!

Dunkin'

Always get a mocha raspberry coffee either iced or hot. Just about every Dunkin , including this one, always gets it right. First time at this one and many years and everything was fine.

Brown Stone House Restaurant

I've been going here for years and the food is always great. I enjoy their chicken tenders and fries meal when I want lunch and there are a ton of great breakfast options. Depending on the day, it can get pretty crowded here though. It's great on weekdays or off hours on weekends, but during peak brunch time, I would not go here with a large group.Parking: The parking lot is free and a very short walk from Brown Stone House, but during peak hours, you may not find a spot. There are other free parking lots nearby though and the nearby restaurants don't all have the same busy times as Brown Stone House, so that helps.

Barbara's Restaurant

Not the best place in the world to eat. It's doable sometimes. My wife had spoiled hash browns from this place s few months ago but I guess they cleaned up their act. Everything was ok this time.

IHOP

Went with my church Anointed Tabernacle Ministries to have a Outreach meeting at the Hamden IHOP. The waitress was so nice and attentive to our table. Food came out hot and only had to send back some eggs that were not cooked the way it was ordered. Being a Chef, that will happen especially with eggs. There was 6 of us only 4 ate but the service was outstanding and our waitress was left a $40 tip for $64 in food! Nice experience
