32 Best American Restaurants in Norwalk

“We had a party for my husband’s birthday in one of the private rooms. The room was a perfect size for 25 people. The table was set beautifully! The room looked lovely and had a small walk out patio that opened the space. The staff could not have been nicer: very accommodating and respectful of all dietary needs. The food was excellent! The timing of the service was leisurely. We had an exceptionally good experience Nancy“

“Stopped by this quaint little bar before a show, and the bartender immediately recognized my Streetlight Manifesto hat. she even played one of their songs on the speakers, which was an awesome gesture. Staff were super friendly, and the burger and fries were excellent. Great vibe all around.“

“We came from Maine for the Soundside music festival and stayed in Norwalk. We ate here twice while in town for the weekend! We left our credit card on accident the first night and they held it for us! We’d forgotten coffee creamer for our air BnB so we asked the bar tender if we could buy a cup of cream. He gave it to us! Melissa was our waitress and she was great! Super friendly and great service. Over all AMAZING food and service!!! If we ever travel to Norwalk again we will definitely be back for some grub!“

“Party of four. Everything from apps to Coffee was delicious. Highly recommend.“

“Splendid pancakes and paninis! The bacon on the side was cooked to perfection, delicious fries with the right amount of salt. It felt like everything was put together with love but not sacrificing the speed in which food came out. Me and my boyfriend will absolutely be back when we visit Connecticut again!“

“Love the LA Fit wrap, of course on a habanero tortilla. Great soups, too. All around a great option for a quick lunch.“

“We approve #PGH412Natives“

“fantastic food hands down“

“We had a great lunch here. We brought my mother and brother to have lunch and they loved it. The spinach artichoke dip is awesome. Very flavorful and served with amazing seasoned hot pita bread. I love the tomato soup and the crab bisque was excellent. The French dip sandwich is more than enough to share. We don’t like the fish and chips but mainly because it had an unusual batter and the halibut was cut into stick forms. The Belgian waffle was very flavorful. The service was challenging at times but overall we had a very good dining experience.“

“Great… just like it’s been for going on 50 years!!“

“Mariscos saltados muy Ricos que delicias es“

“Great food, atmosphere and waitstaff❤️“

“Been coming here for 40 years. Delicious lunches and dinners that are ample. Great variety of items on menu feature salads with protein additions, soups, yummy desserts; dinner entrees well worth the prices. Consistently great quality and service. Atmosphere is intimate, with tightly arranged tables, with a few outside on sidewalk. Only downside (which has no room for improvement) is the cramped entryway and bathroom that is holdover from an era when ADA accessibility was not a consideration. The restaurant is historic in that regard, with painted tin ceilings; was one of the first “healthier food” restaurants. It keeps that standing even in Norwalk’s hot restaurant scene. Love The Lime.“

“Another beautiful Diner along our road trip, Pennys is an original diner from the 1950's everything outside the design all beautiful. The inside was even gorgeous. We both ordered breakfast and the food was delicious. The waitress mommy is such a peaceful soul, she's very kind and very professional. Had a wonderful time here and was full of good food when we left.“

“I’ll start to say that we didn’t order any of the wild dishes that they are more well known for. We ordered pretty standard food, but I will say the portion sizes were great and all the food was delicious. The staff was very nice and attentive. They brought us some of their house made donuts near the end of the meal on the house. I imagine they were maybe making a new batch and had leftovers (I saw them taking some donuts to another table too). Or maybe it was because we went with the small child and they thought it would be nice for her. Either way, it was very nice.

The decor and atmosphere is really nice. I really enjoyed the vibe. They definitely have some epic dishes on their menu that I think we will come back to try on a day when we don’t have a young kid in tow. It’s definitely meant more for adults than children, although kids aren’t out of place there.

We had the souvlaki platter, the grains and greens salad bowl, and the kids Mac and cheese. Everything was just really good. Very filling, very homey, and large portions at a good price point. The donuts were the cakey homemade ones with cinnamon sugar and they were perfect.

Overall, would definitely come back. Definitely want to try some of their more creative and bonkers menu items.“

“Fabian is absolutely amazing. Great service and the food is absolutely AMAZING! Visiting around town, took our company out to get burgers and wow. By far the best burger I have ever had. The team orders wings as well and all the food was so good! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food! Definitely coming back when I visit this area.“

“We had a delicious date night dinner out at The Spread. We sat in the covered, heated outdoor dining space and the lighting and fireplace made it very cozy and enjoyable. The food was delicious - we ordered smaller plates to share. The service was very attentive, almost to a fault. The bus staff was very on top of filling our waters the second we took a sip and taking plates the moment the last bite was taken. There were many staff members in the outdoor space that we felt that we were being watched as we ate, and they were ready to pounce and clear the table as soon as we finished something. We did feel rushed, which was the only downfall of the meal.“

“Liz uses the diner’s TikTok account to make nasty, hateful politically charged comments and personal attacks on people’s videos. She made it more than obvious she is a hateful, bigoted conservative and COVID denier. What a horrible person, and how irresponsible of this business to allow someone like that to run their social media. Liz… block me all you want. I can still see you! I’m guessing you drink a lot? You need help. I hope you get it.“

“It’s the place to be! Great food, drinks, and atmosphere!“
