“absolutely friggin amazing pie 10/10“

“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“

“Beautiful indoors with great staff!“

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

“Cannot thank the staff, especially Debbie, Cheryl, and Christine for their amazing efforts in coordinating a dinner at Gaetano's following a funeral for our treasured family member. We could not have been more pleased with the accommodations, the food, and especially the service. We received many positive compliments from our family and friends. We could not have picked a better spot to gather. We are so grateful for the comfortable, supportive and positive experience we had during such a difficult time we were all going through.“

“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.“

“Best food and great service“

“Great food, great service.“

“Came from out of state for a concert and stopped by for something to eat before the show. The Texas toast burger and crinkle fries tasted amazing, milkshakes also were fantastic. It's on the pricier side if you're going to compare the prices to a fast food place, but for the quality you're getting it's definitely worth it, would absolutely stop by if I was in the area again!“

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

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

“My son and I went today for lunch. I have been wanting a pistachio martini since I saw it made from the happy bartender with the huge smile. I didn’t get her name but see her on the Christos fb videos. Did not disappoint was delicious. She is a great bartender and a wonderful waitress l. We sat in the bar area and it was enjoyable as it wasn’t loud and the table gave us plenty of room for our meal. Brussels Sprouts were delicious as always I had a Cajun wrap and my son had a huge salad loaded with chicken and avocado 🥑 I remember Christos when it was in the plaza and the food never disappoints. I also enjoy the daily family specials text to me. If you haven’t signed up to get the daily specials text to you do it. So many great meals to pick up and bring home. There’s two different specials. Every day lunch and dinner. Give Christos a try if you haven’t been you won’t be disappointed. I live in West Haven but my son is lucky enough to live in North Haven and pick up from Christos on his way home from Westport.“

“buen servicio, limpio y agradable“

“We had a party of 60 come in for breakfast after celebrating Eid, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. A special thank you to Ellie, the manager, and Justin, our server, who went above and beyond to accommodate our large group. They were incredibly organized, attentive, and made sure our request for a vegetarian-friendly section was handled seamlessly.

Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made our gathering feel special and stress-free. Thank you for helping make our Eid celebration such a wonderful breakfast experience. We truly appreciate everything you did and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“
