“Literally just left after having the best lunch! My fiancé and I are new to CT and we’ve been desperately trying to find a cool spot with great food. We got the miso and lime mussels and poutine with our beers and it was SO GOOD! Simple but delicious. The portions were huge. The service was great and the beer was even better! So happy to finally find a great restaurant close to home!“

“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.“

“My niece gave it a 100 out of 10. She is a picky eater. She literally liked the plastic container after the banana pudding was done. We ordered wings, flounder, greens, mac and cheese, fried broccoli and lemonade. Everything was good. Don't walk run to one of the best restaurants I have been to. Amazing from friendly owner, fresh food, to tasty food. I will travel back from NY to partake in her amazing food. Thanks Surf and Turf!!!!!This place knows how to treat their customers!!!!Vegetarian options: Vegetables not cooked in meat.“

“I heard this place had a pool table, so I came with friends to check it out. They had a pretty standard beer selection in bottles. They actually do have a well serviced pool table! We played several games, and the locals cheered us on. Had a great time over all, would recommend for a dive.“

“It was our first experience at wayback burgers. It was my mother, my 10-year-old, my 2-year-old, my 10 year old's best friend, and IWe all got burgers and milkshakes and then we got a couple of fries to split between everybody.My milkshake, was a key lime pie milkshake, and that was the one thing I didn't really like too much. It was the aftertaste. I think they forgot to add graham crackers to it. The picture shows graham cracker crumbs but I really don't think they added it because I didn't see them at all. That's the only reason I give four stars and not 5.If you do go to wayback burgers, expect to have to wait for your food for 15 minutes or so. But you should be happy about that. That means you're getting everything dropped fresh specifically for your food. That's one thing I like about wayback burgers similar to five guys.I got one of those fancy burgers as did my son and my mom. My son's best friend got a regular cheeseburger and my two year old got the chicken tender kids meal with Powerade and fries. We split two fries between all of us besides my babies kids fry and there was even too much fries for the four of us lol.It was really good though. My son got a strawberry milkshake and it was absolutely amazing. I tried it. My two year old seemed to like my key lime pie shake but that's because he likes anything that's creamy and Ice cream like ??Thank you for the wonderful experience given the fact it was the first time any of us had eaten wayback burgers. And what a great experience it wasIf anybody is going to try to give you lower star ratings because they had to wait too long for their burger, then they are ignorant because they would also complain if you gave them a burger that was already cooked for the price that they have to pay for the burger.I'm not really sure what people expect, for five guys you also have to wait just like with wayback burgers. It's not a $2 burger from Wendy's or mcdonalds. It's a burger that is worth the price.Kid-friendliness: They have a kid's meal selection and they also have seats for toddlers. High chair seats.“

“I love their Cobb salad!! I ordered it and shrimp asparagus Alfredo, for to go. They both were amazing! But the pasta was like macaroni, was very different pasta from the picture on the menu. That was disappointing as it was pretty pricey but still was great!Inside of the restaurant looked beautiful. I visited this Hamden store first time but when I get on, no worker was there. Another customer who went inside at same time with me stopped at the small counter for a min and so did I. He started to walk inside, so I followed and finally found the main counter. Wish they have a sign on the door.After I ordered, I realized the host go check to kitchen for pickup if it's ready. She told me about 10 min, I asked her after 8 min, she went to check and it was ready. I was pretty rushing, so wish she could know when it's ready without going back to check physically.“
