Every time I try to go here they close early. They close down 15+ minutes before their scheduled closing time.

Everytime I have ordered here, the service has been SLOW - food has been just overall okay. It’s also pricey. I have had their burgers, chicken sandwich & fries. The burgers were modest in size - similar to a McDonalds regular cheeseburger -
I found them to be flavorless. Possibly frozen patties? Unfortunately well done - staff did not ask me how I wanted it cooked. Their chicken breast on a brioche bun was def better - but mine had no LTOP on it which I thought was odd. So ensure you request EVERYTHING you want on your sandwiches including condiments. There wasn’t a condiment stand anywhere in sight & staff never mentioned it. The thin fries were okay but not freshly cooked. Staff are younger, & friendly. I have not had their ice cream, shakes or sundaes. Old Lyme is not a great area for food unfortunately but I have heard great things about The Hangry Goose, Papi’s, The Old Lyme inn & Sapore. This place is just okay. It’s not bad but the food, service & prices have repeatedly been underwhelming. Reviews are meant to communicate customer experiences. This was MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. While I understand having younger inexperienced staff, maybe the mgmt should consider spending more time hiring capable staff & training the inexperienced staff instead of spending time online criticizing & blaming customer’s for their mistakes. Most service industry professionals would have graciously suggested the customer return to try their restaurant again. The Mgmt clearly has no idea how to run a restaurant - particularly accepting accountability for mistakes and respectfully managing customer issues.

Came here for a bite while on a weekend vacation.The food and ice cream was excellent. There was a bit of mishap where my card was charged twice I made them aware and John was quick to make it right and refund the extra charge to my card. Place gets busy and it's easy to see why.

Fish sandwich was good on Brioche
Outdoor seating
They have one of those handheld cc machines and are asking to add 20% tip just for taking order?

This place is a gem! It has now become my fav family spot to eat after a day at the beach. I had the cod fish tacos, yum yum!! My son had the cheeseburger. If you are in the area, stop by, and you won't be disappointed. I was too full to get ice cream, lol, but I'll be back soon.
