18 Best American Restaurants in Waterbury

“I love it !“

“I’ve driven past Philly Grill in Waterbury many times and kind of second-guessed it, but it really surprised me. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak with fries and it was amazing—full of flavor, fresh ingredients, and the fries were perfectly cooked. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and my food was brought right to my table. Great service and even better food. Definitely coming back!

Update: I had to come back after how good my first visit was. This time I ordered the lamb and beef gyro with fries and it was absolutely delicious. The lamb and beef were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right, and the lettuce, tomato, and onions were fresh and crisp. Two visits in and they’ve been consistent with both quality and flavor. Can’t wait to try the wings next!“

“The best sausage egg & cheese EVER! I used TikTok to find this gem. Seems very family orientated , a lot of regulars. I observed the menu seems fair . I would love to come back to try some other stuff. I placed my order to go, only because I was the only person of color. But the main chef made sure my order was correct and I’m glad to have found this GEM❤️✨ Thank you“

“The best bondsman in the state, been in Buisness for 30 plus years and is always ready to help when ever your in need. The office is located across the street from Waterbury Police Station! They have agents in Litchfield county also! Call for questions, quotes, and for fast service. Definitely the most professional! Like, share, and comment. Call now for assistance with your legal troubles!!!“

“I ordered a filled bagel and a cupcake. The service was very friendly and warm, and quick though there was quite a queue. The bagel was excellent, great taste, with a small side salad. The cupcake was really moist and beautiful, the buttercream very creamy, and tasty all-in-all, though very sugary! I would recommend this place for the excellent bagels and kind service, and the cupcakes for the ones with a sweet tooth. Maybe an idea for the future to have some sweet products that don't pack quite as much sugar, but I'm definitely coming back for another bagel!“

“Quaint Waterbury tavern with the best owner in town. All the bartenders are pleasant, professional, and accommodating. The history if Wzterbury is embedded in the walls of this iconic bar. Must visit place if you are passing through Waterbury.“

“Alta Cucina Grill & Lounge offers a stylish and cozy atmosphere perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. The menu features a diverse selection of dishes, blending international flavors with a modern twist. Their grilled specialties are flavorful and well-prepared, while the lounge area provides a relaxed setting to enjoy cocktails or wine.“

“From the moment I stepped inside Bailey’s, I knew I was in for a treat. The delicious aroma wafting through the air immediately caught my attention. I couldn't wait to dive into their menu and try all the mouthwatering dishes they had to offer. And let me tell you, the food did not disappoint. Every bite was a burst of flavor, leaving me craving more. Plus, the portion sizes were extremely generous, guaranteeing that no one would leave Bailey’s hungry.

Their warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel like a valued guest. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to offer recommendations or answer any questions I had.“

“New favorite Dominican spot in Waterbury!! 🇩🇴 Better flavor than Via Al Paraiso. I used to go there all the time for Dominican food, however, this place has better flavor in my opinion (I tried their shrimp mofongo, pernil, and saltfish). Also, Via Al Paraiso is so stingy with their shrimp 🍤 with the shrimp mofongo...this place is NOT!! A much better portion for the money!!
Also,the woman at the counter was so nice!! She let me try some of the food while I was waiting on my mofongo!! 🥰“

“The owner was so kind and made us churros fresh and they are so crispy and delicious. It's a nice cozy break from the chaos of waterbury. Possibly my new favorite Mexican bakery, but I'll have to try more and see. The prices are good and I will definitely be coming back“

“The staff was great. I didn’t wait long at all for a drink . The music was awesome . Just all together a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.“

“Nice breakfast love it 👌🥓☕☕“
