Excellent breakfast and service. Don’t remember what it was called, but 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, home fries & 2 pancakes definitely hit the spot

I was so mesmerized by the beautiful scenery that I forgot to take pictures of the food. It is a beautiful location overlooking this river. The service was excellent. It is well decorated. I had a roast beef sandwich and the beef was very moist with wonderful fries. My friend had a vegetarian sandwich and it looked delicious. This is a great lunch location..

A very good breakfast/lunch spot in Old Lyme, CT. Indoor and outdoor seating with a beautiful view of the Lieutenant River. While I've never had breakfast here I've been to lunch several times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended. It's right around the corner from another great Old Lyme attraction, the Florence Griswold Museum.

Highly recommend the Hangry Goose! We dropped in after a day at Rocky Neck Beach and were delighted by the fast, pleasant service and incredibly delicious food in a lovely setting while we dined outside. Their menu hits all the right spots for kids and foodies. I enjoyed the balsamic salmon and loved that they took seriously a child’s request to only “lightly” cook her green beans because she likes them crunchy — and the restaurant nailed it.

We randomly stopped here on the way home from the casino and honestly this food was hands down amazing! I had a delicious roast beef wrap and my husband got a burger and it was huge! I will definitely stop here again

Located on the Lieutenant River tidal waters nestled among the tall reeds a very quaint spot. Churri steak salad and cold beer on a warm summer day. Does not get much better than this!

Beautiful outdoor patio. Staff was wonderful and the Food was delicious!
A few of us were visiting from out of town as some of our other friends were running in the new London race. The runners having just run 13 miles wanted some protein and some eggs. Having a summer cottage in old Lyme, one of them suggested we go to the Hangry goose because they have outside seating. My friend having her support dog with her thought that was a great idea. Myself and another friend arrived at the establishment at 11:20. A few minutes later, we were inside at the register waiting to be seated. There was two small parties of 3 ahead of us. The hostess asks each of these parties if they are having “breakfast or lunch?” The sign on the door indicates that breakfast is discontinued at 12.
When it came our turn to be seated, I told the hostess that we would need both breakfast and lunch menus. She then proceeds to tell us that breakfast is no longer being served. This response had me quite perplexed since it was literally five seconds after she just asked the previous party if they were having “breakfast or lunch?” Huh??
Having driven over from New London myself and my other friend opted to just grab the table outside and wait for our other friends to arrive with the dog. Moments later they arrived and we informed them they were no longer serving breakfast. This was disappointing to my friends as they really wanted some eggs. Since one of them is a waitress, she figured she would ask the waitress if there was any exception that could be made. The waitress said there was nothing they could do because it was a Kitchen policy.
We all decided just to have lunch instead since we were already there and because we had already driven 20 minutes to eat. While perusing the lunch menu we noticed a few things. 1) it said NOWHERE the time that they stop serving breakfast 2) they serve a brunch burger with a fried EGG 3) a goose burger with BACON. So the kitchen was unwilling to put an egg or two, and a side of bacon on a plate because that is considered “breakfast” yet they can still cook said items for topping for burgers for lunch.
I was dumbfounded. Not only is this establishments breakfast time schedule extremely lax and unclear but the staff/kitchen/management apparently isn’t willing to make exceptions to their policies which as I stated before were already unclear and confusing. The food was ok. It wasn’t fantastic. But we repeatedly had to ask for things including drinks and dressing. The amount of French fries that came on the plate with the sandwiches and burgers you could fit in your eye and honestly the whole experience was now tarnished. And to add insult to injury our check was $122.00 for a lunch that we didn’t really want on food that was mediocre at best and. The view was nice.
Our waitress had zero personality and it was obvious to us all that she really wasn’t in the game. There were no pleasantries exchanged no friendly banter, just that breakfast couldn’t be served.
All in all this experience kinda sucked. I should have asked to talk to Teddy Kanaras the owner. I know he was onsite. In the end I believe they wouldn’t serve us breakfast; 1) they make more money on lunch 2) they knew we weren’t local or regular customers. But one thing I do know, my friends and I will never be returning to the “Hangry Goose” when we visit the Connecticut shoreline again because none of us should have left “Hangry.”
*******A REMINDER WE ENTERED AT 11:20AM. VERIFIABLE BY ANY SECURITY CAMERAS ON SITE….THE SIGNAGE ON YOUR DOOR STATES “BREAKFAST DISCONTINUED AT 12:00.”

The atmosphere is low key casual and relaxed with great views of marshland and the Lieutenant River. Our server, Christine, was attentive without being obtrusive. She seemed genuinely happy to be serving us food , and she was so pleased that we enjoyed it so much. My husband and I had a difficult day, starting with a funeral, and ending with a a visit to L and M hospital to check on a friend. As we drove back home, we wanted to stop for a quick bite to eat—maybe just some appetizers. My husband suggested Hangry Goose. We’d been there for breakfast (which is great), but never dinner. After Christine described the house specials, I decided to forego appetizers and ordered the seared scallops with fettuccine cream sauce. This was the best meal I’ve had in a long, long time. It was the ultimate comfort food with the fettuccine smothered in luscious cheese and cream. The flavors in the cream sauce were heavenly. The scallops were seared perfectly and incredibly tender. I almost didn’t want to post this review, as I don’t want this gem of a restaurant to be impossible to get into!

Plenty of parking, plenty of seating. Outdoor seating with a wonderful view. Serves breakfast till 11 and does it perfectly. Had an omelette and home fires with a bagel and cream cheese all cooked perfectly. Home fries crispy but not burnt. Bagel soft and fresh. Omlette stacked and cooked perfectly. Definitely stop in for breakfast or lunch
