33 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“

“So my teenage daughter and her friends found this place and she's been hooked for their tacos. She brought me and it was amazing spot. Chips and beans was amazing, no salsa is hits different. Food presentation was perfect and great amount of meet.“

“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!“

“My go to place for breakfast every time. Cute convenient spot with great omelettes and piping hot dinner coffee served in a thick white mug just as god intended.

Parking: Pull right to the back and park. In the summer time you can grab a cold Greek frappe coffee and walk to the back dock to the boats and crew practicing.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“I love burgers & tots w chilis 🥰“

“First time at this restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish that there was a rating between Very Good (4 stars) and Exceptional (5) as that might better capture my positive feelings. We were looking for an outside dining experience and this fit the bill. Food was really good as was the wine. On the main (but quaint) drag in Rowayton, this place is charming, especially if you are looking for a seaside (sound-side?) location and can't get a reservation at Rowayton Seafood. We'll be going back here.“

“Friendly atmosphere and great food“

“Great food options for vegans. The area is a little intimidating and I felt the need to have my boyfriend protect our car while I waited for takeout. Owner is very sweet. Interior is adorable, quaint and the AC is working great on this 90 hot day!!“

“Great feel at home place. Staff is awesome and professional. Food is awesome at a great price range. Just a cozy place to watch sports and get a great meal.“

“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.“

“Food: Burger was delicious, cooked perfectly, juicy and filling! Waffle fries are a must have side. Definitely felt like money well spent.

Service: My food was served fast and the employee’s and owner we’re very kind and polite.

Atmosphere: Restaurant was nice and simple, very quiet and clean. Offered seating inside and out.

Definitely my favorite Burger spot in Norwalk, I’ll be back!“

“I took my father for his breakfast brunch. We have been to the one in Stamford once before so I kind of knew what we were in for, but this experience was on a completely different level. We only ordered entrees and received complimentary donuts- amazing! The waiter was so attentive and amicable. The food was delicious and the presentation immaculate. The atmosphere was fun, casual, and a great place to enjoy good food and have a nice conversation.“

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

“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.“
