Restaurants in Old Saybrook

“Great food. We were 4 and ordered: Penne ala Vodka GREAT Carbonara GREAT Special Burger GREAT Meat Lovers Pizza PERFECT CRUST”

“What a cool place! Attention to detail here and authenticity is top notch. Not only do they have brunch service, pastry counter, and coffees, they have a lot of specialty grocery items that are nicely curated and add to the vibe while you’re eating. Our waitresses were very attentive and knowledgeable. Boursin omelette was amazing, and we will definitely be back for more pastries!!!”

“Hands down, the BEST whole belly clams around! I asked for lightly fried and my order was cooked to perfection. Give this place a try...you won't be disappointed!❤️”

“Best penne alla vodka I’ve ever had. Gluten free option too! Great service as well. ❤️”

“Such great service but even more so, the chefs are incredible with their creativity and delivery of unique and delicious food. Liv's is an oasis away from home....they do so much to make dinner special every time. Thank you all.”

“While traveling from New York to Rhode Island, we stopped at The Curry Queen for a quick lunch—and what an incredible find! The restaurant has ample parking and a charming, decorative interior that adds to the experience. We ordered Chicken Korma and ghee-topped wheat chapatis. The chapatis were soft and perfectly made, while the Chicken Korma was bursting with flavor. We asked for medium spice, and it was just right—rich, aromatic, and satisfying. A delightful stopover that we’ll definitely remember!”

“Love it so very much. Food is excellent”

“Myrcene is a hidden gem within Old Saybrook! We recently hosted a graduation party here with about 50 guests and it was the PERFECT spot to host a party. The owners are incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating. They kept all of their delicious beers, wines, ciders and seltzers flowing for our guests and allowed us to bring in our own food and desserts (this was a game changer for us when looking for a spot to host a party locally). From the time we set up to the time we cleaned up the owners offered to help and were always there to see if we needed anything. The inside space is perfect for a gathering, plus they have a wonderful outside space too for guests to sit and relax and play lawn games. I can’t recommend them enough for your next party or just for a local meet up with friends and family for a delicious drink!”

“My wife & I have been enjoying MANY weekday meals at TJ'S for more than several years. And I can honestly say that we have, not only enjoyed the food we ordered, but, more importantly, the caring and attentive staff that we have dealt with over those years. We could more highly recommend this restaurant as a place for you to enjoy a good meal!!”

“Excellent meal , perfect flavor and presentation, and generous portions”

“Sip Wine Bar stands out as a unique and memorable spot in Old Saybrook. What makes it truly special is Derrik, a certified Sommelier who brings a rare level of passion and expertise to the table. He doesn’t just recommend wine—he creates a tailored journey based on your palate and interests. The opportunity to taste reserve wines is a standout feature and adds a level of exclusivity that’s hard to come by. Derrik’s skill in pairing wines with meats and cheeses is impressive and turns a simple tasting into a full sensory experience. The menu is clear, inviting, and easy to navigate, making it approachable for all levels of wine knowledge. Whether you're dropping in for a casual glass or diving deep into the world of wine, Sip delivers something far beyond the ordinary. A fantastic addition to the Old Saybrook scene—Sip isn’t just a place to drink wine; it’s a place to enjoy it with intention.”

“I’ve always had a great experience at Himalaya Cafe. You can tell that all the staff takes a lot of pride in their craft. The food is by far the best around and is reasonably priced. The ambiance is clean, warm and relaxing and the service is always very friendly. One of my favorite restaurants around!”

“absolutely the Best in this area”

“I'll start by saying I love Indian food and I have been to a lot of Indian restaurants, so when I say this place is the best, I mean it! This restaurant is a small, mom and pop type place and the owner is one of the nicest people I've ever met. She even offered to make us a vegan dessert on the house! She does everything herself, including taking orders and cooking. Everything is made to order, from scratch, and she takes great pride in that! As a result, everything is absolutely delicious! This restaurant is exclusively vegetarian, but the owner is very knowledgeable about veganism and most dishes can be easily made vegan. I ordered the onion pakoras as an appetizer and they were deliciously flavourful and crispy, but not greasy at all. For my main dish I ordered the chole puri. This might be my favorite meal ever! It is essentially chana masala, but comes with puri (puffed flatbreads), which are so tender and delicious and perfect for scooping the curry! We also got aloo paratha (flatbread stuffed with spiced potatoes) on the side and it was equally tender and delicious. The owner made sure to inform me that it was all vegan and even told me what specific substitutions she made to make it vegan, like using almond milk in the curry instead of cream. This place is almost an hour from my house, but I will make a special trip to come back here for the amazing food and service from this incredibly kind and accommodating woman who takes so much pride in what she does.”

“a Nurse at Uconn health Nicu recommended here. service and food is out of this world definitely will be back.”

“I had the bison burger with sweet potato fries. The dipping sauce for the fries was amazing. My server Jackie was great about never letting our glasses become empty and making sure to help out with my daughter’s allergies!”

“Very BEST Dairy Queen in the whole world!!!! ❤️🍦❤️”

“This is a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ restaurant for sure from the Food which was mouth watering to the service and atmosphere a fantastic place to eat! You won't find a better steak around. I can't say enough about how pleased I was tonight with everything . Hats off to Jack and Nancy I highly recommend it”

“Fantastic food and great service!!! It is a great place to grab something quick and an even better place to sit with the whole family. One of my go too pizza place on the shoreline.”

“I love all the food it's so yummy!”

“Outstanding experience! Very clean, renovated room with gas fireplace, four poster bead, comfortable seating, and spacious bathroom! Terrific location near center of Old Saybrook. Easy walk through the town. Really appreciated daily gift certificate to Mirsina's for breakfast.”

“Had the special - Chicken Cordon bleu… didn’t expect anything amazing but it was amazing. Surprisingly, but beautifully, crispy on the outside with a slight sweet flavor. Chicken was perfectly cooked, not dry, with appropriate proportions of cheese/ham. Service was extraordinarily friendly. Topped it off with a nice Port wine and they had a decent selection available. Will be back.”

“Please look at dates of comments. delivery is available at all open hours ( but you have to order that online through Facebook or kennyspizzaos.com) Same owner, remodeled in 2022. Same great food. Give them a try!”

“A little pricey , but you get what you pay for. The food is absolutely excellent!”

“Always loved this place. Food and service amazing! Always stop here on my way through town.”

“Amazing! Can’t wait to go back ☕️”

“33 Years in the same place, same staff, they must be doing something right, Great prices on excellent food. I've read the reviews from people that have given it 1 star. These must be people that can only accept 5 star service, and everything else is 1 star. I understand some of the things you complained about, and maybe you did have a valid point, but 1 star, and to imply that the waitress was suffering from dementia, come on, grow up. If you made reasonable criticisms, and rated fairly, people would take you seriously, but you just make yourselves look mean and vindictive. All over an undercooked omelette, etc.”

“Delicious beautiful place”

“The best dessert I could have asked for on my wedding day. They baked a simple cake for us as well as macarons that were enjoyed by everyone!”

“great beer selection and bar food is unique and creative”

“Delicious FRESH food made to order and always friendly service!”

“My husband and I went to Aspen the other night for our wedding anniversary. We had our rehearsal dinner there 4 years ago and were blown away by the food.. well, once again, they nailed it! It was delicious!! Not only was the food good, but our waiter, Joe M (funny, same name as my husband 😅), was wonderful! We will definitely be back again!!”

“The drink prices were very reasonable. There's karaoke 🎤 which is always fun to watch/listen to even if don't participate. First time visit and had a great time. Will definitely visit again when in area.”

“I love the Old Saybrook team! I spend multiple hours here each week working remotely and am always so impressed by their professionalism and efficiency. In a busy location, with a less than ideal store layout, Christine and her crew do a wonderful job. Everyone is welcoming, kind and they never fail to greet a customer as soon as they walk in. Keeping lines moving (even on the busiest of days!) and doing it with a smile is what makes this Starbucks one of my favorites.”

“What a find! Authentic delicious home cooked Vietnamese food at reasonable prices. Lovely husband and wife owners, hubby cooks. They live upstairs from the restaurant — cute place — nice vibe.”

“The only Dunkin I will go to 1635 Boston post rd old saybrook. There is a girl who works there goes by the name of Katie/kate/Kaitlyn she has great customer skills. Always greets us with a smile. She makes us laugh. She is very nice. Always makes sure our order is right. Whatever you do give this girl a raise. It is so hard to find someone who has that much friendly customer service”

“One of my favorite places to go. First time in my life have I ever had an employee go out of their way to do something nice for me. Chelsea is absolutely the kindest human in the world. Much love. Super happy with everything.”

“Wonderful customer service, loved the sundae and small ice cream even bought a shirt and the lady at the register took the time to find my size in the back.”

“I’m here at least 3 days a week for dinner items and it’s great every time.”

“The food is always delicious and the staff is friendly. Our family loves eating here.”

“great beer selection and bar food is unique and creative”

“Great fresh food with a lot of options. Plan ahead on weekends, you should expect hour plus wait times once you are seated for your food. We come here frequently for breakfast - it’s faster to order takeout for sure.”

“Randy had clam fritters that he said were delicious and I had clam strips that were lightly breaded. The breading was thin and fluffy and tasted great. The restaurant is so clean and bright with seating outside too. We will return.”

“everything was good except the Rhode Island clam chowder , they need to put real clams in instead of ground up tiny specs very disappointed yesterday in the chowder all we got was broth and potatoes with tiny bits of clam”

“Our experience was great! The staff was terrific. We had a drink at the outdoor bar area and the bartender and staff were great! The host who sat us was very professional and our server April at the indoor restaurant was very helpful and so nice! The food was the best!”

“Great food; relax atmosphere”

“Whenever I visit my parents in CT, it’s my go to place for lunch. Great food and margaritas. Best salsa!!!”
