20 Best American Restaurants in Waterbury

“I love it !“

“I stopped down here the other day after reading about the place on some reddits for having good cheesesteaks.

Boy was I not disappointed. This is easily one of the best cheesesteaks CT has to offer and I have tried many.

The fries were hot and crispy, the onions were not overbearing chopped up nicely, the meat was seasoned beautifully and everything was made fresh and hot. No bad bits or chewy bits in the steak and great flavor.

Staff was super friendly, place was clean. As soon as someone gets up they clean it.

Very affordable. Really nothing to gripe about. This place is awesome! Cant wait to go back for more.“

“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!“

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.“

“The BEST breakfast I have had in this area. My husband and I like to dine at the “mom & pop”, where the locals eat restaurants when we travel. I flew here to bring my grandson back home after his spring break. I was looking for some real breakfast and Monteiro’s hit the spot. Even the coffee tasted great. The atmosphere made you feel at home. I met the owner/cook and enjoyed hearing about the history of the restaurant. The waitress was very attentive and we had great conversation, also.“

“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!! 🥰“

“Now this is Mexican food, excellent service, very nice gentleman, but I got a chicken mushroom onion quesadilla, it’s the best I’ve ever had the whole well, absolutely amazing. This is a hidden gem this place, I’ll be back.

“9.2.23 we got married at our hometown fair grounds and had Frankie’s cater! It was PERFECTION!! Everyone was blown away when they found out that’s what we were having for food, so fun, and who doesn’t love hot dog and burgers (especially FRANKIE’s)?! There was only a couple cooks/servers and MAN OH MAN did they crank it all out! We had around 160 people and they had a line as soon as the food was out, serving up all the goods in such a timely manor. They cooked and served for about 3 hours.. it worked out SO well, many had 2nds and 3rds, plus we had left overs 😍. Everyone was RAVING! we couldn’t have had it any better, Thank you guys SO much!“

“Great mix of foods. Nachos were good and Philly cheese steak too.“

“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.“
