Restaurants in West Haven

“I came here a few months ago with my boyfriend. We went on a Friday night and the wait wasn’t too long.

First, We received complimentary sides. My favorite was the kimchi. It was so good.

Then we ordered Korean Fried Chicken, Tteokbokki, and a pork dish (I don’t remember the name). Everything was so good!! We really liked the flavor of the Korean Fried Chicken. We’ve been to other Korean places and it seems like every place has their own unique flavor which we really like. I wish that the chicken had more meat on it, but the plating was aesthetically pleasing. The portions for everything were generous. Our meal also came with complimentary sushi. I don’t really care for sushi but it wasn’t bad at all. My boyfriend loved it.

The service was great. The staff was so kind to us and always made sure we had everything we needed.

Overall, we had a great experience and we would definitely come here again.”

“I ordered the white broccoli and sausage pizza! It was absolutely delicious!”

“We've had Oak Beach cater our parties/holidays quite a few times and are regulars there. We just did a fairly large event that they catered Saturday and the food was amazing as always! Everyone raved about it!! Definitely recommend!”

“This is one of my favorite restaurants when visitng the University of New Haven ! Great food and great service !”

“This is our favorite reataurant in Ct ..the pasta fagioli is the best anywhere just like eating in Italy..they have live music Fri and Saturday and we sit outside eat ? drink and ? ?..it is hard to get in make sure u reserve in advance

Parking: right by the restaurant or across the street plenty of parking”

“Small, cute diner a few minutes off the highway with many vegan options. Worth the stop if you are looking to stay on your vegan diet. Fast, friendly service. Good quality. The vegan burger was tasty, loaded with toppings, and filling. It’s worth the stop. Updated from previous review on 2025-05-24”

“I’ve been meaning to come here for awhile now. I went last week with a friend, and it was amazing! Great food, great drinks, great service. Went back today with my parents. I had a slight issue with my order and they not only rectified it immediately, but went so far as to make it better. My parents loved everything they had, and we’re all looking forward to going back. Bonus: they’re actually open for lunch!”

“Great service, great creative martinis!”

“I tried Papa Doughs today for the first time. They have a delicious and well seasoned pizza, the mango habanero wings and churro fried dough sticks were very good too.”

“My friend and I stopped in at Beef and Brew Pub. I had the salmon she had the steak. The food was delicious! Go here.”

“My family and I love this place. The steak and cheese is so delicious. The owners and staff are so friendly. Definitely recommend 5 stars ✨”

“I have never eaten Thai food before last night. This place is great, I will definitely be back.”

“In my opinion, this is the best Mexican in the west haven, orange, and Milford area. Why would anyone go to a chipotle? The burrito here is far superior. The quesadillas and burritos are big enough for 2 meals.”

“Best hot dogs in Ct”

“I got this delivered to my workplace and the service was so good. I could see on my watch that they were communicating with me about the delivery. I couldn't look until I was done working. But the food was super good and the company was super good about communication.”

“Always an amazing meal. Fresh. Hot. Delicious.”

“Thank you Tanya for the most exceptional service! My kids were starving after my son’s basketball game, and while waiting for our food Tanya kept the rolls coming and the drinks flowing. Beyond pleased with our service tonight from start to finish, even with my to go order I placed!”

“My fave Chinese takeout spot in West Haven! I've ordered from Lucky Kitchen several times, and the food is delicious every time. The prices are unbeatable- tons of lunch specials for under $10. The man at the counter is always super friendly, too. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great takeout place.

Parking: There's a free lot right by the sports bar, so you only have to walk less than a block to reach the restaurant.”

“Always great, very good sushi and atmosphere is always good for any family of children.”

“I have been to this place a couple of times. Their food is always fresh and authentic. It tastes as homemade food. Service is good and friendly. Only thing is that the location is not the best and they dont have parking spaces, so you need to park in the street.”

“The owner Shawn has been a staple to our family for 10yrs! The food is always consistent, most AMAZING eggplant parm subs!! My kids devour the pizza! There’s nothing I’ve had in 10yrs that’s been bad! And Casa Bianca pays it forward for our community every chance they get! Always extremely helpful and friendly, they make you feel like part of the family! They’re amazing!!!”

“Great service. Employees were friendly and inviting. The food is pretty decent for west haven grab and go. They have your every desire. Sometimes the employees are quiet and grumpy but that’s the retail game.”

“My order was taken promptly!! It was ready fast!! Coffee was made the way I liked it!! Very nice and friendly workers!!”

“WELCOME TO WESTIES!! WHAT AN INTRODUCTION! And a consistent one as well. I am big on the product and always willing to try new things however I am sure we can all agree it's kinda awesome when they remember your favorite drink! All around great atmosphere lastly support small business 👏.”

“I really liked the steak and cheese sandwich- It was hearty and full of flavor. The gentleman behind the counter was really nice and had a great sense of humor- he made me feel like family. If I lived here I’d definitely be a regular. Check this place out!”

“We dined in last night (10/12/23) we had a party of 5. Our server was top notch, our meals were extremely delicious and outstanding in their presentations. The photos do not do any justice. I had Shrimp Fra Diavolo, Pinot Grigio White and my wife and I shared the Carrot Cake.”

“I highly recommend this restaurant.The food and service quality was truly exceptional, I can't wait to come back
The ambiance and food at Sandbar were outstanding.♡”

“I’ve been dining in and taking out from here for years. This particular Dunkin always has the best staff. Workers move on and the new ones always seem to fit with the old. Super fast service even when problems arise. For the amount of foot traffic, the inside is always in order, stocked and clean. When I travel and visit other Dunkin’s, I always find myself wishing I was at this store. Thank you for consistently providing great service.”

“The staff @ 2 Boston Post Rd West Haven, CT are always nice and friendly.”

“The Best Baristas Ever !! Top notch service”

“This location has a wonderful atmosphere, everyone so friendly, respectful the owner rocks-very cordial, And does not mind getting his hands dirty if need to. Yesterday he was greeting, setting up tables everything- this is establishment gives you that cultural vibe and home feeling atmosphere”

“Very nice friendly service!! The only problem was having to wait for it!!”

“I have been getting takeout from Golden Island for many years now
I've ordered many items and the food has always been delicious and fresh
The chef is skilled and she is very nice
The only criticism I have is the interior of the restaurant needs to be freshened up
Otherwise the food and service is excellent”

“I love a nice Dunkin coffee. However this particular Dunkin doesn't perk their coffee long enough. I know it's because they are extremely busy, but what you get is a cup of hot water!! It's never good in the morning!! So I no longer go to this location first thing in the morning. But if you visit after noontime, the coffee is delicious!! Just don't go in the morning unless you want a cup of hot water!!

Parking: Lots of space to park”

“Love their ice cream 🍨 ,my granddaughter 💕 it 🥰🥰😂”

“Shannon at this location is amazing and so so pleasant! I don’t often leave reviews but had to share. I rarely have had a good experience here and visit often as it is the only one on the way to Yale where I am often. I’d avoided it for a while but was in a bind one day. Glad I gave it another shot! Hope Shannon sticks around!”

“Tacos were good… not the best I’ve ever had, but no gas station ever will be. Not quite the same as the Texas Laredo Taco Co, but a decent taste of home nonetheless.”

“9/29/19.National Coffee ☕ Day”

“I'M SO GREATFUL FOR THEM BEING OPEN UNTIL 12AM BECAUSE NONE OF THE OTHERS WITHIN MILES INCLUDING THE HIGHWAY REST STOPS GOING NORTH OR SOUTH ON I-95 ARE OPEN THIS LATE. THERE CLOSING AT 8PM SOMETIMES INSTEAD OF 10”

“Love it.. Food was fire 🔥..”

“The Impossible Whopper is good. It always seems to be overcooked every time I get one though. Not just from this burger King. Ive gotten them from different ones and the same thing with being slightly burnt. However, I'm just glad a fast food chain finally came up with a veggie burger version. Been a vegetarian my whole life so it's always been an 'I'll just get fries' kind of situation when going to places like that.”

“I recently ordered a Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla & wings from Zee's. If you like spicy, this Quesadilla is for you! It was more than worth the price; it had great flavor, & it was packed! That was one big Quesadilla! I shared it with someone, because it was too much for me. Oh by the way, the garlic parm wings, & mild wings were delicious too! Don't sleep on Zee's food. It's fantastic. Also of note, check out their specialty drinks. Always something new & delicious to try!”

“THE difference between me living a healthier life and not. Edibolic is delicious, interesting, and has great variety. There is not one week I dont see a couple of meals that are different from what I would normally eat, that I WANT to eat. Nutritious balanced meals that allow me not to have to worry about what fast food I'm going to wait in line only to regret eating later. The prices are better than fast food , while the food is obviously healthier. I really cant say enough good things and wish I had found this company earlier. I say this with allsincerity, let Edibolic Kitchen help you live a better, healthier life.”

“It was magical. I tried something they called “Jamison”. 10/10 definitely do it again.”

“great food good music pool table darts and cornhole fun times”

“Great music and good beer.. what more can you hope for?

“Only the Best is and will always be awesome. The owner is amazing and very hsrd working. Dealing with the public can be difficult at times. And when they dont get what they want they write a bad review. Shame on them Where can you go and order delicious food at a very reasonable price. For those who complained Please go some where else and pay more money and eat crab. If you havent worked in a restaurant you have no idea how hard it is!!! Again great job only the best. And thank you for all of your delicouis food.”

“Good atmosphere ,acceptable service Will be good if could get a liquor license and add lengua guisada in their menu Sure I will comeback .”

“Came to Jimmies on Christmas Eve. I have never had a bad meal ..Fried shrimp and clams are fresh and delicious. They give you plenty, enough for the next day. Thank you Lisa and staff for being open on a holiday.”

“Went there last Saturday, August 3rd at 12:30 pm and had the best time ever. I spoke to Riley prior to going asking about the chocolate martinis and she told me that Allisa made really good ones. When we got there to celebrate a girl's day out Riley was there, our waitress Shelly pointed her out so I could go over and introduce myself. Not only did EVERYONE treat us like we had been going there for years and were family, but Alissa made REALLY GREAT DRINKS and the FOOD WAS FANTASTIC. My sister had a couple cosmos, and my other friend and I had the chocolate martinis which were WONDERFUL!!! We had chicken tacos, fries and the Burbon pork belly bites were SOOOO GOOD you would want to slap anyone who tried to grab any. This was truly a good time and although it was busy, loud and was SOOOOOO MUCH FUN because everyone was fabulous. I will look forward to going back next time I'm in Connecticut.”

“I have never eaten Thai food before last night. This place is great, I will definitely be back.”

“The best pizza I have ever had. Whenever I get their pizza, everyone who eats it wants to know where I got it. The crust is crispy and just a delicious pizza.”

“Delicious and excellent quality”

“My friend and I stopped in at Beef and Brew Pub. I had the salmon she had the steak. The food was delicious! Go here.”

“I ordered the white broccoli and sausage pizza! It was absolutely delicious!”

“A wonderful family spot for dinner. Visited here many times with friends and family and we tried a wide variety of dishes and everything was among the best food I’ve ever had. I asked for spicy—but not overwhelming—and they nailed it perfectly. The staffs are incredibly professional and took the time to explain the dishes to me as a first-timer. I’ll definitely be returning—regularly.
While I spent a bit, the portions were generous and I had plenty of leftovers. In my opinion, the prices were very fair for the quality and quantity of food. Fair to recommend them.”
