24 Best American Restaurants in Wallingford

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

Boys loved the burgers. Pricier than your average fast food, but quality ingredients, handmade burgers, made to order. Great service, very nice owners! We'll be back for sure!“

“Best food and great service“

“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.“

“Great food, great service.“

“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.“

“It was great gathering place. Paul was great he got a little busy but he was super fun waiter“

“Westbrook Lobster is a great choice for a meal. We ordered the red lobster and pasta, and both were delicious. The lobster was fresh and flavorful, while the pasta was cooked perfectly and complemented the seafood well.

The service was quick, and the staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.

A wonderful spot for fresh seafood and definitely worth a visit if you’re passing through the area. 🦞“

“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!“
