24 Best American Restaurants in Wallingford

“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“

“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.“

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

“Phenomal roadside burger stand. Got the grizzly burger, wally monster burger, macdaddy burger, a vanilla shake, and a nutella shake. Everything was great, service was fast and friendly and the food came out very quick. If I'm ever coming through again on a roadtrip you can bet imma stop here for lunch, i do wish they kept the 2 guys and a grill sign (maybe 2 guys 1 grill?)“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Your menu description for the Santa Fe Chicken dish is not clear as it says the dish is served with rice and beans, but actually the rice and beans ARE the side dishes. They ask you to then choose 2 more side dishes on the which is very ambiguous!“

“I just had a fish sandwich and a cocktail both which were perfect. That’s not hard for a restaurant to accomplish
What was really outstanding with my server Alexandra who is a breath of fresh air. What a delightful person!“

“Fantastic meal, as always last night!!! My wife and I both had Penne Ala Vodka with chicken cutlets and my son had rigatoni with house red sauce. Enough food for two meals for each of us. Thank you guys for being such a great and friendly restaurant. See you soon!“
