The server, James, was very attentive and helpful. The food was delivered in a timely fashion and was wonderful! My scallops and shrimp were cooked to perfection and the Cajun seasoning was spot on. Keith's steak was cooked just as he requested. The portions were terrific! My cheesecake was smooth and yummy and Keith's chocolate dessert was a real treat. I wish I knew who gave us the gift card as I'd love to thank them!! I hope you'll consider patronizing Outback Steakhouse in Shelton!! We'll definitely be back!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼”

It was a clear piece of plastic and I almost ate it. I contemplated calling the restaurant but I was too upset. Instead, I let my friend who was with me at the restaurant know what happened and I saved a photo of the piece of plastic. It's just one of those experiences that I can't forget. The table service was very good. Everything else about the restaurant was fine. My friend and I will not return and I hope the restaurant does a thorough I investigation to figure out how this could have happened???”

Having just arrived from Los Angeles, where good Italian food is extremely difficult to find, it was a pleasure to immediately walk into the place and smell the aromas of authentic Italian food. A nice family owned restaurant that creates extremely wonderful food. Such a joy to experience. Hope to get back in a couple days that I am here”

“Yesterday was my first time. The coffee was delicious and the muffins are BIG and fresh. I'll be back soon!”

“Great breakfast and coffee”

“Randomly stumbled upon Gaetanos in Westport yesterday when looking for a place to get sandwiches before my son’s baseball game. Having grown up in Belmont Little Italy for the first 22 years of my life I was skeptical about the “Arthur Ave style..” claim on the sign. Well I can tell you they delivered and then some! Was warmly greeted, handled samples of delicious cheeses and more. They were too skeptical when I said I grew up on Arthur Ave but once we started chatting they knew I wasn’t BSing. Saw familiar faces and reminisced about life on Arthur Ave. The owners are warm and kind - the real deal keeping it true to the Arthur Ave spirit. Dare I say they might even do it better!! I can’t say enough about the excellent food and service. If I ever find myself in Westport again I will certainly make a visit! Aside from my son’s team’s win, this nostalgic experience truly made my day and made me feel like I was back home in the Bronx when life was more simple. And yes, everything we ordered and sampled was delicious! No skin on the eggplant and bread from Addeo - doesn’t get any better!”

“My friend brought me here last week the food is amazing the spice is just right and the food is well seasoned African food is some of the best food especially here at this restaurant”

“The only place I get cakes for my family! Chrissy is an incredibly talented artist, and the ice cream is the best! Wish I still lived in Shelton to make more stops for ice cream. But I will continue to always get cakes and stop in whenever we are in the area! Also- the Service is Always wonderful!”

“Always a great experience.”

“Bottom line.. favorite place to go..”

“Had great meal tonight at Thai Shelton Kitchen! Fresh food, great Thai teas, and great service!”

“Chops Taco food truck came to my workplace today so we decided to place an order. We ordered the mango habanero & pork carnitas tacos to share.. cannot mix the choices :( .. I wanted to try their crunchwrap but it wasn't available ...Also, the prices are standard for a taco truck ( 3 tacos for $12 ). These are not made like authenic mexican tacos ( cilantro & onion / green chile sauces / sides for decor ) but it was really good! Similar to how I make mine sometimes, toasted with cheese. I will definitely check it out at their location in Shelton one of these days or if they come back to my job ??”

“This is a very fun place with a great vibe. The menu is small but the food is outstanding. The bartenders are well-trained and the drinks show it.”

“Been looking for a good pizza since we moved here. definitely going to be our place for italian.”

“We ordered cupcakes last minute. They were able to accommodate us and they looked amazing and tasted amazing. We had a variety of flavors, vanilla, chocolate, funfetti, cookies and cream, lemon, and banana. Every flavor was amazing. Our guests were obsessed. My kids also loved the cake pops, and I loved the macaroons. So good!! They did not disappoint! We’ll be back ❤️”

“Amazing little spot in a cool factory turned small business marketplace. The owner is incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and loves what she does. Prices are really reasonable. If I lived in town would be my everyday stop.”

“Best experience I could have had in Connecticut! The bartender was awesome! Great people, and a seemingly authentic Connecticut dive bar experience. Had a great time, everytime”

“yes, ordered a pork chop at dinner , I thought it was 12 ounces and it was 22 oz. so big I ate it for 5 days. moving back to Shelton, I now go there all the time I love it. you should come to love it too. great hometown people”

“Friendly staff. Orders always on time.”

“Food was excellent. My friend ordered the sea bass and loved it. I ordered one of the salad/rice bowls and it was delicious. Suzanne was the best waitress ever! She was friendly, funny and gave good recommendations regarding the menu. Ended up having friends show up and none of us were without service when it was needed. She was always there with a smile! Highly recommend this restaurant.”

“The best food, and their staff really know their stuff.”

“Great for Individual Dinners or Hibachi! 😋”

“DJ’s Pizza never disappoints! It is always a fabulous experience, whether deliver or pick up. Their pizzas, entrees and catering are delicious and I highly recommend you giving them a call. Thank you to the DJ’s Pizza Team!!”

“We tried Riverdale Diner because we happened to be in the area and wanted a sit down breakfast. Even on a busy Saturday morning we were seated right away and our meal came out not long after. Delicious food and great service! (Try the California omelet, and get the potatoes!)”

“Absolutely delicious food, very friendly and wonderful staff, very accommodating we did not have a reservation. Definitely will be back😊😊”

“I recommend going to the bagel Bros & Co. for any bagel, specialty breakfast sandwich, pastry, good coffee and great people to start off your day. Everyone is so pleasant and take pride in their work to make your breakfast a one of a kind! Very special please up and coming, very popular with us locals and I don’t regret ever going there! Honestly my favorite place 👍🏻”

“Amazing local business , support your neighborhood..”

“We had the most wonderful experience at Caloroso Eatery & Bar. Unbeknownst to me, my family planned a surprise birthday party and had it at Caloroso’s in early December. Because the weather was still good, the party took place in the Sky Terrace…the space was very inviting and large enough to accommodate the 33 of us! Ashley and others of the Caloroso team made sure that no one went thirsty or hungry! The buffet of chicken parm, chicken marsala, pasta, salad, and more was totally delicious and plentiful! The large screen in the room made it possible for all to see the birthday trivia game through which I relived lots of happy memories and milestones! I had no idea what was waiting for me when I walked up the stairs and went through the doors into the Sky Terrace…and I’ll never forget the SURPRISE experience! Thank you, family, and thank you Caloroso team for helping to make the day a cherished lifelong memory!!”

“Tried this place earlier today. My daughter bought me back a pulled chicken Arepa with Rice, Queso and the Garlic Crema. Wow it was so good definitely will be going myself.”

“Our company has been using Cafe 4 catering for years, each month for lunch. Everything we have ever ordered is always fresh & delicious. Our all time favorite is the Malin salad with grilled chicken. The balsamic vinaigrette is to die for. Also they have the best chicken salad wraps & turkey club wrap with chipotle mayo. All their sandwiches are great! Do yourself a favor & stop in for lunch, you will not be disappointed!”

“Have been ordering from Antonio’s for years now and the food is always incredible. Had the chicken Scarpariello grinder and Penne alla panna today and both were delicious. Highly recommend”

“The Crab Rangoon is insane here. I love getting this as a app. Highly recommend little chopstick they are very friendly every time I go in and their food is always on point!”

“You owe yourself a December treat! Mine will be this week on Tuesday night. I’m ordering two petite dinners of the short ribs. They are to die for…uncork the wine and I’ll forget the stress of December!”

“I love this place. They make the best grinders in my opinion, anywhere! They never disappoint and their food is phenomenal. I order from here at least 2-3 times a week. They’re that great!!”

“I eat a lot of authentic Mexican food. This place is definitely very good. Haven’t had anything from here I didn’t enjoy. I order at least 3 times a week since I live up the road. My favorite being the Enchilada Cemita. I recommend El Gallo Dorado to everyone.”

“Great Staff and food.....”

“I want to preface this by saying I'm really really picky about deli meat. I NEVER eat it. However, after having surgery this week , this just sounded good so I tried it. I was actually blown away by how good this was. The meat was fresh, not slimy like most deli meat is and they were very very generous with toppings. The person working was super nice and patient and took his time making the sandwiches. I was impressed by how clean it was too. This was more of a good deli feel as opposed to a chain sandwich place. Thank you for making my horrible day so much better. ❤️”

“Cuppy's is a great neighborhood bar and their staff are very friendly.”

“Freshest seafood in Shelton, the guys working work their asses off and are very respectful and outgoing to the customers. Worth every penny. Support small local businesses like this place.”

“Hands down best pizza place in town, the pizza rolls are also amazing, highly recommend 👍”

“Shelton location. Slow, employees standing around, didn’t start cooking until after I requested a refund for my whole order.”

“Usually their salads are delicious. But today i came by, right when they opened up (prob a mistake) and ordered a crispy chicken salad … My salad was done in about 5 mins …. ( how can chicken be cooked that fast?) Anyway, i tried to eat the salad for dinner. My croutons were stale, the bread was stale and tomatoes along with the cucumbers tasted like theve been sitting out from the night before. I doubt chicken was freshly made. I’m so disappointed. Next time i know not to come right when they open up.”

“We've lived here for 2 yrs and have been pleased with the food we've ordered. However, we ordered dinner last Fri, and they were very busy. I was worried that perhaps the food would be rushed and not quality. We were blown away with the taste and quality! We ordered again for a family get together last night, which was a Wednesday. Again, the food was just amazing! Our daughter who lives closer to her usual Chinese takeout is going to switch to Chinatown.”

“Absolutely love this place. They have a great selection of polish style foods, and spices. Been here numerous times, and plan to go there again and again. Very courteous people and extremely helpful. The best part is the hot foods and sausages. For a small store they carry a large selection.”

“The best food, and their staff really know their stuff.”

“Absolutely friendly and welcoming place to be whether it’s happy hour or a late night out. Great team of Bartenders, Jess Bobby & Kyle all on top of their game.

“My heritage is Italian and for the majority of my life I lived in a Italian community in NY. When I moved ti Shelton Connecticut, I found myself in search of a good Italian Restaurant! My search ended when I found Matto’s Wine bar in Shelton. My waitress immediately tended to our every need. Her name was Chelsea and she took the time to explain to us how the items we were interested in were prepared. She gave us great recommendations and never rushed us to order. I love margaritas so my drink order was easy. My wife on the other hand likes sweet and unusual drinks. Chelsea recommended a drink with Italian ice in it and my wife was in Heaven! I can assure you that the food is delicious and definitely authentic Italian. The meatballs were phenomenal as was my veal cutlet and my wife’s pasta. Though they were extremely busy the manager, Mr. Ricky Rosario was out on the floor helping serve customers. If I even looked his wsy he came to our table to see if we needed anything. I honestly felt like royalty as they couldn’t do enough for us. I would definitely recommend this establishment as the good and service were outstanding. Ask for Chelsea as your waitress though they are all equally good.”

“I got tacos for my brother, my boyfriend, and I. I got carnitas which was pretty good I liked there wasn’t much fat in the taco! My boyfriend and my brother both got steak they enjoyed it. They did put some extra hour sauce at home but they enjoyed the tacos. They are a little on the blander side but I haven’t had pancheros in a while and wanted to try it out again.”

“I celebrated my bridal shower here yesterday, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience! From the moment we arrived everyone was so accommodating! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. And the food was so good!

A very special thank you to Linda, who went above and beyond to make the event feel truly special. She was attentive, kind, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire day and was always one step ahead and making sure every one had what they needed.

If you’re looking for a venue to host a special occasion or even just a great meal this is the place. Thank you again to the entire team for making such a meaningful day even more memorable!”

“Wendy's here in Shelton is decent the one thing I would recommend is fresher fries by making smaller batches more often instead of large batches less often.”
