“1st visit. Ordered take out & grabbed a coffee during the brief wait. Service was efficient & friendly. Establishment was clean & welcoming. I deeply appreciate that they offer tofu. We ordered the “Vito” swapping chicken out for tofu & the “Cypress Garden” sandwiches… both were delicious. The prices were reasonable for the high quality of the ingredients. One was $10 the other $12 & this price even included choice of side: pasta salad, apple or chips. We chose the lemon basil pasta salad & it was just as delicious as the sandwich’s. Thank you…you’ve won this customer over for sure!”

We got the Scoopys Truck for our daughter’s birthday party as she loves their ice cream. It was a huge hit with everyone there and as always the service was great!! Highly recommend hiring them for your birthdays, corporate events etc! Thank you Scoopys!”

“OMG, a friend brought me here & if u r a Coffee lovers try it! U must b exact when ordering your coffee drink- more than Starbucks but we'll worth it. Also if using cash in drive thru tell the staff person asap. I made that mistake & it took longer to pay, but w/ a new place I get a little cautious but no need here. My friend goes daily ; never 1 issue. Coffee lovers dream spot!”

“A nice friendly place, great food and service. Hometown Wallingford at its best.”

“Me and my fiancé always pass here. Little did we know when stopping by this morning, we had done ourselves the greatest disservice by going anywhere else besides here😭 the food is soooo good like when your parents make you breakfast and you’re super hungry on a weekend morning. This is the only place I’ll ever go for a meal again. We are OBSESSED”

“Delicious food 😋 large portions. I'll be coming back for more!🥰”

“I order all four locations”

“First time there and we love the vibes. The folks that work there were so kind and welcoming.”

“The food was fantastic, the atmosphere sweet, and the service was even better. Great little place that could accommodate this foodie auntie, sister with a peanut allergy, and her 3 year old nephew (kids menu). The waitress even gave our nephew a cool lollipop/chocolate treat. Loved it. So charming.”

“Love the ciders every time I come here. And dog friendly too! Def my favorite ciders!!”

“The bees is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is the best and the food is always spot on. Highly recommend”

“First time going to this restaurant.. ABSOLUTELY Amazing! Owner Chris introduced himself and was very nice. The food was ready as soon as I got there. Our orders were more than expected, fresh, delicious and so fair on prices. We will be back ❤️”

“Espresso bean with crushed up Oreos on top delicious I’ve had their coffee ice cream get this instead so much more flavorful and my sister got the cheesecake. She says it’s better than real cheesecake.”

“My husband and I dine there today. We both enjoyed our wraps (Caesar Wrap and Mexican Wrap) . The wraps were flavorful and filling.”

“Amazing little place! Both the food and the sweet treats here absolutely amazing, and the owner is just the sweetest!”

“It was my first time and I found it very curious the way of cooking the hamburger is supposed to be much healthier when they are steamed. Its flavor is very good and fresh.”

“Good pizza, fast service and got a party of 21 in and out quickly with lots of kids.”

“Cheeks is easily one of the best chicken spots in the state—the chicken is always flavorful and cooked just right. I really enjoy the variety of sides they offer, and while I usually go for the tenders over the sandwiches, both are excellent. The chicken and waffles are especially delicious, and I’d recommend trying that first if you’re new to the place. My only complaint is the sauce situation: they used to give me two sauces with my tenders, but lately it’s been just one, and I was even charged for an extra last time. As a frequent customer, that’s a bit frustrating, though I do appreciate the wide selection of sauces they offer. Parking can also be a bit tricky—the lot is tight and drivers often back out without looking—so I suggest parking toward the far end to avoid any dents in bumpers. Overall, Cheeks delivers consistently great food, and aside from the sauce issue, it’s a top-tier spot I keep coming back to.”

“Breakfast was a delight .Perfectly prepared”

“Thai food at its BEST!!!!”

“Vegetable soup: The vegetable soup from Rosa’s Deli comes highly recommended by me. It has plenty of fresh vegetables, is not salty at all like many others are, (my feeling on salt is that you can always add more but cannot extract it), and comes with saltine crackers and a spoon (I did not need the spoon as this was my maiden voyage for my new soup spoon)!”

“Cora was exquisite and so hardworking managing the front and serving our drinks with a smile while the place was busy. They are lucky to have such a hardworking young woman represent the company! Good drinks too!”

“Best metal bar in all of CT.”

“Amazing the corn was so fresh and so cajun Annie and the place was very organized and cleaned felt very safe and the wings were very crispy. Amazing experience 10 out of 10 would recommend.”

“Excellent pizza. Thin crust, good red sauce, tasty toppings. Great central location too!”

“A cozy yet contemporary restaurant with delicious food and a relaxed friendly atmosphere. I really look forward to coming back here again and again.”

“Alyssa’s Cakery absolutely knocked it out of the park! They created the most incredible gluten and dairy-free wedding cake for us, and it truly exceeded every expectation we had. The flavor was unreal - rich, moist, and absolutely delicious. You would never know it was allergen-friendly. Every guest who tried it was blown away. The presentation was perfection. The cake was beyond anything we could have imagined for our wedding day… elegant, beautifully detailed, and crafted with so much care. It looked like something out of a magazine. From start to finish, Alyssa’s Cakery delivered quality, artistry, and heart. We couldn’t be more grateful and will be recommending them to everyone we know!”

“We purchased an ice cream cake for our daughter’s birthday and it was beautiful and delicious! They were extremely accommodating with my daughter’s picky taste! Highly recommend using them for your next cake 😊”

“Great food, good prices. The food is very fresh and the ladies are friendly.”

“good food. clean and good service”

“We stop there every weekend and have breakfast, the staff is very friendly and they know what we order as we sit”

“Prior reviews that said this is the best Mexican food on the East Coast aren't lying. Everything has so much flavor! We got the burritos de carnitas and al pastor and both were phenomenal. As were the homemade chips and salsa. And the guy at the counter was very kind. Definitely coming back here next time we're in the area!”

“We have been on a year long pizza tour. This place is awesome. Best crunch so far.. and the sauce is amazing. My son and I bought 3 large regular pies not knowing that we should've probably ordered the mozzarella..but we ate a pie and a half between us, and then I brought some home and we finished it all .. I could have run 10 miles after it. Very light and enjoyable. We are coming back for the mozzarella!”

“Great food. Excellent service. Our “go to” for pizza, subs and more! Great wine selection with a full bar!!”

“I drive here all the way from Southington. I really enjoyed the food. And the prices are reasonable, and the service is phenomenal. Tonight I enjoyed the shrimp scampi. I dined in tonight.”

“Hands down the best pizza place in Wallingford!!! Highly recommended. Hopefully @barstoolsports gives them a review one day! My score is a solid 8.6 👍🏻 Also a big thank you to the owner Fabi for always giving the best service”

“excelente servicio, mesera super atenta, un mojito deliciosioso y la comida a tiempo y riquisima una noche perfecta”

“Such great food especially for the price. Everytime we order we can not believe our portions and how amazing it all tastes! We try something new almost every order. This is a hidden gem in town and more people need to check it out!”

“can NEVER go wrong getting a Thursday nite sangwitch”

“Sooo freaking good! One of my favorite espresso martinis”

“Went today. Asked for a chick fil a sandwich with EXTRA pickles - this is what I got?!!”

“Food was incredible! I would highly recommend trying their cuisine. We will definitely be ordering from you again, thanks Jaya’s Kitchen!”

“Unforgettable BBQ Experience Thanks to Pig Rig! We had Pig Rig cater our daughter’s rehearsal dinner, and the experience was incredible! From the moment Dan arrived, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and precision. He set everything up beautifully, making sure the presentation matched the celebratory vibe of the evening. And the food—wow! The BBQ was out of this world. Tender brisket, juicy pulled pork, flavor packed kielbasa, delicious pulled chicken, and sides that had everyone going back for seconds (and thirds!). The guests were raving about the mac and cheese, cowboy beans, potato salad and cornbread. It was the perfect blend of comfort and flavor, and it made the night feel extra special. Dan didn’t just serve food—he helped create memories. If you’re looking for top-notch BBQ and service that goes above and beyond, look no further. Pig Rig is the real deal!”

“Great place. I’ll have to make it a point to work it into the calendar more. Beer was excellent. 24 different beers on tap I believe. Burger was great - big and delicious and my wife enjoyed her wrap. Bonus points for the King Diamond and Rob Halford photos on the wall. I didn’t get to check out all the prints. Cool spot. We’ll be back.”

“First time there and really liked it! I will be back 👍”

“I tried Vinnys for the 1st time ever today & hands down the best grilled chicken sandwich I've ever had & the nicest folks too. I'll definitely be back to try more! 5*”

“I had the opportunity to win a free lunch at my work place! It was as amazing as it looks in the pictures ! I picked the focaccia sandwiches- and caesar salad, and everything was delicious! I will be in to try your other dishes...❤ Thank you so much! Everyone enjoyed the lunch!”

“I love this place. The only attitude here is a good one. Safe and relaxed is the vibe. Friendly folks and lots of karaoke and open mic.”

“Excellent food… great service… friendly atmosphere…homey… the colors, decorations, beautiful ceiling …just lift my spirits.. and I love being there! Also, Bathroom is large enough for handicapped chairs and always very clean and comfortable. Kudos to the lady that spends a lot of her time decorating for all the holidays and seasons for our enjoyment!”

“Owner is very nice, protein cookies are the best I've ever had. Honestly, they'd be good for a regular cookie, you completely forget they're protein they're so good, and that means a lot because I've tried quest, foodies, my cookie dealer, and redcon brand protein cookies and they all pale in comparison in my opinion.”

“Tried this deli for the first time. It is right up the street from my home. Ordered a breakfast sandwich and it was one of the best bacon , egg and cheese sandwiches EVER. Very clean as well.”

“I have gone here a couple of times now just looking for somewhere laid back to shoot a few games of pool. They have a coin op table, Bartender (I think her name is Rachel?) is wonderful and makes great drinks. Locals/Regulars vibe for sure, but very welcoming.”

“Walked in with no expectations walked out wanting more!! ♥️my new spot😁♥️♥️”

“INCREDIBLE. Ordered off DoorDash, completely delicious 😋
HUGE forcascia bread and fresh ingredients. Sauces were tasty and the portions are worth every cent. Got a s’mores cookie as well and that was up to par”

“My favorite stomping ground. I love the home, family, Cheers feeling I get every time I walk in. It’s truly a place where you feel comfortable and everyone knows your name.”

“Delicious food and great atmosphere 😊”

“We've been going to this place for more than 10 years. When ever we want good pizza, this is the place. We always get the plain thin crust (its incredible!!!).
This time we ordered something more adventurous, and got Tri colore pizza. It was really good , but not for the people who dont like spinach. It had too much for my personal taste. Their stake and cheese sandwich is soo awesome.
Do try it once. I guarantee, you'll be back.”

“By far the juiciest, sloppiest and most amazing 2x burger ever !! All for just $7.50!”

“This bakery is a must try! I have celiac disease, and it's so hard to find any good gluten-free pastry, so when they said they had gluten-free cheesecake,I had to try it!.. it was so good 👍 😋 next time I'm in Wallingford Ct I will definitely stop!”

“😋Always love coming here. Big Menu. Delicious Pizza. 😋”

“Elizabeth's Bakery now has some GF items. Today I tried their GF blueberry muffin & brownie. The muffin is amazing! It didn't taste GF at all. Lots of blueberries, not overly sweet like some GF baked goods; great texture -not gummy at all; and a wonderfully big muffin like it's gluten containing counterpart. The brownie is soooo fudge! It is not gummy at all. Tastes just like a gluten containing brownie (well at least what I remember them tasting like). These are so much better than any GF brownie mix & better than any recipe I have made at home. It's been years since I have been able to purchase a great tasting GF item at a bakery. Thanks Elizabeth's Bakery for including a few GF items on your menu.”

“Cupcakes are very good. Not too much topping and cake is moist. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!”

“good food. clean and good service”

“I appreciated that the cashier reopened my take out bag to ensure there was an egg roll in there for me when I told them they didn't have too. I really appreciated that extra service to double check my order even though it was already correct. They truly care about their customer satisfaction. Thank you”

“very fresh very good flavor and more then enough food”

“Im going to stop ordering simply bc last few times its been food of their choice not what i order.Id complain but one of the guys seems to like yelling at me. Lol idk why bc he is really really nice to my friend who calls for me.I simply want no meat in my plain lo mein.I simply want white rice.Delivery guys are always so nice. Makes me not want to complain lol but before I become a karen I must go else where.”

“Incredibly friendly staff! Clean environment and VERY delicious 😋 Thanks for being so incredible guys!”

“Lisa, Kayla and the team were awesome creating 75 ice cream cupcakes for my grandsons 3rd Birthday party. They were decorated perfectly with the Disney Cars theme of Lightening McQueen. The adults were so impressed having something unique and the kids were excited having a Lightening McQueen treat… thank you for adding that special touch to our party.”

“Can’t even believe how Abe from this restaurant spoke to me! I ordered a pizza for my kids and it came without sauce and when I called to explain, it was nothing but RUDENESS! He had the audacity to tell me I had to apologize to him and his counter girl before he would replace. He told me he didn’t care if he lost a customer, I had no idea who he was. He hung up on me and when I called back and asked for the owner to explain he started yelling and had his employees in the background yelling he was the boss and I had no idea who I was talkin to and I should find out before talking to him and hung up on me again! I called the Milford location and asked who the owner was, his name is OZ and he sounded like this was certainly not the 1st time he had a complaint. He apologized over and over but honestly I cannot believe the things he said! SMH worst customer service EVER GHETTO!!!!!”

“My husband and I ordered a pizza to go from Carini’s for the first time under their new management. We ordered the Smog pizza. It had sausage, mushrooms, peppers and onions as toppings. The pizza was absolutely delicious! It had just the right amount of mozzarella. The sausage was so tasty and the mushrooms, onions, and peppers were fresh and cooked perfectly. Having grown up in New Haven, I loved that the crust was on the thinner side. I highly recommend Carini’s! We look forward to ordering more pizza or stopping in for dinner some night!”

“Warm and inviting atmosphere. There’s something for anyone and the bread is some of the best and most authentic I’ve had. Love the staff and they are always happy to answer any questions!”

“Every time I go to this Subway location, the people working have a smile on their faces. The store is nice and clean, the workers are friendly, the ingredients are always well stocked and the service is nice and fast. This is hands down the best Subway I’ve ever been to, no questions asked.”

“They make the best Coffee”

“No matter whether I’ve gone in person or ordered through door dash it has always been an enjoyable place to get food. I've gotten different protein bowls from them one I made myself and their special miso salmon. Both are so good and no matter who makes it, it is delicious and I enjoy getting it. After finishing my meal I am satisfied and the amount of rice mix with everything else is amazing. I also love going to the store and seeing the bowl made in front of me knowing the items are fresh and new everyday. I love this place and enjoy every bite of my bowls”

“Great food, great service.”

“Best food and great service”

“Scrumptious!!! And Lee is the man!!”

“The staff is very friendly. It’s a clean restaurant with a delicious menu ( lots of vegan options) . There’s gluten-free options and typical diner food too.”

“I love it there, but some of the recent changes I’m unhappy with. For example, no more lotto or Keno, no more being able to hang out with the awesome workers after their shift.”

“I ordered shrimp lol main and never did anything to the manager owner but he was a miserable person I would not ever go back he said take your money and leave. He should go back where he came from.”

“Service was great & my drink was absolutely PERFECT... and thank you for not being closed early with “summer hours” like all the other ones along my trip. You saved my sanity while I drove to MA today. Lol. ❤️”

“Haven’t been there since last year but it was my son’s birthday and he wanted to go…. I was glad to hear they were open.. we enjoyed the food and the service was good! We will definitely be returning to our spot 😋”
