45 Best American Restaurants near Wolcott

“Back in December 2022 I had my baby shower at East Street Eatery, and it was amazing. The food, the service the atmosphere was absolutely perfect. So perfect I came back to have my daughter’s first birthday party in 2/2024, and once again it was amazing. The service was impeccable, we had Nancy running our room and she was phenomenal. Gina, the manager is so attentive and was there to answer all my questions throughout the whole planning process. The food was so good, all my guests talked about how good it was. The price is so reasonable, for what you get. And we actually left with leftovers! Highly recommend for any occasion!“

“My friend and I went here on a Sunday afternoon, hoping to watch a Patriots loss, which did indeed happen. This is basically a roadside dive pub. We started with the big pretzel, which was coated in too much butter. And the dipping sauces were standard movie theater nacho cheese sauce and a grainy honey dijon dressing. I just opted for the pretzel by itself. I had the namesake burger that was really good, with applewood smoked bacon, jalapeño, cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce and onion frizzles. Excellent combo of spicy, crunchy, salty. Great burger. Also a very good variety of draft beers to choose from and a jukebox with a good variety of music. It's a backwoodsy sort of joint in New England.“

“Since I work nearby, Rozzi’s is a solid option for my coworkers and I when we’re craving a good breakfast or lunch! On this last visit we really enjoyed the Asian salad special and the bbq chicken melt. Their decadent desserts are always fun to get for a treat too! A great hometown diner feel with friendly staff!“

“I've had many different plates at this spot but tonight.. OMG. I got the Mediterranean Salad with crispy chicken & it was sooo good. The dressing was delicious and although it was creamy, it was a light dressing. The fried chickpeas and feta made it!! My daughter had the kids chicken quesadilla w/ I'm assuming house made chips?! But our dishes looked EXACTLY like they presented in Facebook! *chefs kiss* also the guy working there was so nice!!“

“We went here for a family dinner and really liked it. The food was good and the service was great. The staff were very attentive. It was a little loud as they were very busy but not too bad. We had a reservation and were seated further away from the bar, which helped. The food portion was generous, and everyone was pleased with their order.“

“I won't let this take away from my rating, but there was a miscommunication that left me waiting twenty minutes to be served as a single diner, and there was an innocent little beetle on the table. Otherwise, the servers and owners were very sociable and friendly, and the food was great.“

“First time, but it won't be the last. The food was delicious, and the service was great. We showed up without reservations, and the staff was very accommodating. We sat at the bar where Dave and the rest of the staff were very friendly and entertaining, especially with their banter.“

“Had the privilege of eating here today. As a person who doesn’t eat out often, and loves to cook I was very impressed by this place! We went for lunch and I had the double burger with grilled veggies and my mom had the lamb gyro. They catered to my dietary needs and were very friendly. My mom said it was the best gyro she has ever had, and my burgers were so delish and cooked perfectly. I can’t wait to try their oxtail cabbage soup. I can’t recommend this place enough and hope to come back when I’m in the area.“

“The shredded hash browns were incredible!Vegetarian options: Avocados, hash browns, Toast, home fries, potatoesParking: Parking is within walking distance and free.Kid-friendliness: Booths to accommodate entire family.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible ramp that leads into diner,“

“This is my favorite restaurant in town. I’ve been here several times for both dine-in and takeout. The food is fresh and delicious. I love that they use local ingredients and I love that the takeout does not include plastic containers, plastic cutlery, or plastic bags. I also like that the menu changes up from time to time. Staff are always friendly and professional. Thank you for providing such a great dining option in Watertown.“

“I'm not one to post pictures of my food. I also don't usually post reviews. But as a small business owner myself, I felt compelled to because of the wonderful experience my wife and I had tonight. We have been to Nataz before in their previous location. And though those visits were amazing, the venue was a bit to tight for me. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy intimate settings. But it was just a bit to cramped. This new location. We'll let's just say, it's a hidden gem that I hope you all get a chance to visit. First and foremost, lets talk about the food. It was fantastic! Enough said. You can check out their menu online and see the offerings first hand. We tried a fish, and a beef dish. Both were generous portions, and delicious. Next, the ambience. Intimate, comfortable, and inviting. Definitely night and day to the former location, and more to my liking. Finally, the service. We were taken care of by Ashlyn and her level of attention to us was outstanding. Not to take away from the rest of the staff. They all were attentive and professional. To the point that everyone said good night as we left. Bravo Nataz! I highly recommend you give this restaurant a look if you haven't already. Their prices are reasonable. Their wine list is pleasantly satisfying at fair prices. But their fair and service is what will get you hopefully leaving a review as well.“

“This place is awesome, the friendly staff and people that come regularly to sporting events or just to watch a game or enjoy their nice patio in the back area is awesome too. I'm a new neighbor of the area and it's a clean atmosphere with wholesome people and great wings in wet and dry flavors, all the food is delicious and with good timing calling in or sit down.Parking: First come, first serve and fills quickly for happy hour time , game days but there is Street parking all around. Don't block driveways that's all or u will be towed.Kid-friendliness: Yes kid friendly insideWheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“Had the corned beef lunch special and was the best tasting meal of corned beef, made with tender cabbage, carrots and potatoes. The corned beef was delicious and tender with fat trimmed. Breakfast is always very good and Melissa and Carm are always friendly!“

“I have eaten at The Meating Place many times always so delicious from the steak sandwich,fish sandwich,fried dough,hot dogs, sweet potato, regular fries and onion rings and for the cold weather delicous soups and they even had beef stew! They have specials too!! Well worth stopping and grabbing a meal to take home and in nice weather they have picnic tables to sit at and relax and enjoy this delicious comforting food!“

“Wow! J Timothy's came highly recommended to us and they totally followed through. We just wanted to try the wings so we got the sweet chili dirty style and they were PHENOMENAL. Huge, juicy, saucy, crispy skin, couldn't ask for more! We had to try the tater tots smothered in cheese curds and gravy (of course). So delicious and a generous portion. We haven't tried the peanut butter pie that we got to go but it looks fantastic. We sat at the bar. Friendly, lively atmosphere for a Tuesday night. We will definitely be back to work our way through the menu while we are stationed here. Thank you for a great dining experience!“

“Listen hear I don’t even leave reviews but this spot right here I just went for the 1st time I spent 85$ and omg everything was great the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had on the East Coast? and the homemade blue raspberry and strawberry omg plus the banana pudding IM ON MY WAY SLEEP NOW LOL JUST HAD TO LEAVE THIS POST HERE!!!!!“

“Yo this place is the TRUTH. So much good food for the prices. The way Mexican should be served…just moved here and it’s right down the street from my new apartment…needless to say I will be frequenting this location much more…5/5 if you want Mexican takeout in Waterbury this is it…“

“I 100% recommend this is the best place for dinner I've ever went to and trust me. I've been to a lot of places their service was just amazing, and their food was just out of this world, especially what they give you at the end this Oreo purée it is just such a good choice for dessert, if you want to go to a nice restaurant with very hot food and very good service I hundred percent recommend this restaurant. I am a very satisfied customer.“

“Love the way they keep it old traditional style breakfast with amazing severs and fluffy pancakes and omelets! Never change, your restaurant is perfect just like it is. America is changing fast and I know I'm not the only one who appreciates and enjoys a bit of a homecooked meal from a genuine place.“

“While in the area, we were hungry for breakfast and decided to give Jimmy’s a try. Loved the no frills, hometown diner vibe right away. They had everything you could want for breakfast on the menu. They did a great job on the poached eggs, and the bacon was nice and crispy. Our one critique would be that the corned beef hash didn’t seem homemade. The food came out quickly and our waitress was attentive. I would definitely come back!“

“5 stars? I'm not sure because it's hard to judge by an egg sandwich but it was very good and my wife's breakfast was too. We didn't have time to sit so got it to go and decided that we have to make time to go back and eat there.We'll see you again soon!“

“Kens grill is a solid place to get breakfast/lunch for work. Love their burgers!Parking: Lot of spots. Park in the bridge community church and look for the truck with the food grill.Wheelchair accessibility: I'm not in a wheelchair so this is just speculating. Might be tough to get the food from the window of the food truck, but if ken/someone helps you it shouldn't be a problem. It's outdoor in a parking lot with lots of open space, you'll have an easy time navigating around.“

“Today was our first time dining here. Very clean and very friendly. We had breakfast. French toast, Omelet, Blueberry Pancakes. Home fries,Bacon. Everything was very well presented and very very delicious. We highly recommend this place and we will most definitely be back. Definitely getting 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This location is easy to get to and located near several other restaurants. If you like great landscaping with relatively easy golf holes, this is your place. They've put a lot of money into wood structures, waterways, and maintaining the gardens. There's even a section with herbs! Many times, you can see actual frogs in the pond (not just the nearby statue). They gave a section for kids afterwards where you can play on a wooden train or pirate ship. There's a gazebo with a round table inside it. There's at least a half dozen picnicking tables up on a knoll. On site food is 3 choices: beer (sometimes with pizza) for the adults, an ice cream section, and a grille. At the grille, seating was nice, prices were low, and wind attempted to blow away our napkins. We came here midday on a September Saturday and the crowds were steady but not overwhelming. Since it was the end of the season, there are a few minor repairs needed. Worn out wood borders were the most common interference (twice). One other downfall is that the mini golf ($9/adult on weekends and weekday evenings) is cash only. Food takes credit. Not sure why they'd rather have you use an onsite ATM than just pay for all by credit in one spot.“

“I have been to Philadelphia and back. I like to rate food sometimes. And by gosh this is one of the best steak and cheeses I’ve ever freaking had. So much steak great prices. Friendly, friendly owners, and staff highly highly recommend. Hidden gem. Hope you will read this :-) I also want to mention Ana… she should be running the place. Top freaking amazing service, so polite and so thoughtful.“

“We hosted a surprise birthday party at Lola’s and can’t say enough great things about the experience. From the early calls of getting our date booked, all the way to the end of the night, the staff was always willing to help with whatever we needed. We got there early to decorate and the room was already neatly set up. They provided the tablecloths, wine glasses, ice, etc. Our server was extremely attentive, helpful, and communicative throughout the night. She kept the bar stocked, brought out candles when we realized we forgot to bring some, and even stood on a chair to get the perfect group picture of all of us. She bagged up all the leftover food and cake and made sure everyone had what they needed throughout the night. The food was phenomenal as well. Highly recommend!!“

“This is my favorite place to get breakfast. The owner and family that run the business are amazing! The selection is vast, and everything I have tried has been delicious. The customer base is friendly, and I have run into people I know coming for a great meal. It is a cozy place. You can dine in or carry out. My favorite place, especially if you want a great bagel! It is a guilty pleasure that is worth it!“

“We stopped in here on a Sunday for dinner with our two kids. Ordered wings, some quesadillas and had a few beers. Everything was delicious and the service was wonderful and friendly. Beer selection was great too. I want to try a burger next time, they're probably great.“

“small local restaurant that serves delicious food, reasonably priced with a friendly waitstaff. Open for breakfast and lunch with take out options. ...This small local restaurant shouldn't be overlooked, stop in, you won't be disappointed!“

“Nice little breakfast place. Unfortunately, we sat near 2 older, opinionated men who used racial words in their discussion, loud enough for all to hear how they feel about other races. The food was real good and it was reasonably priced. We will return and hope for a better surrounding of “

“I hosted my aunts 90th birthday yesterday. The pre party planning was easy thanks to the expertise of John and Joe. The day of the event was spectacular. The service was second to none. The food was delicious and plentiful . I am so pleased we chose this venue for our special event!!“

“One of our favorite places to go hands down! Creative chef Red who keeps things interesting, menu changes for seasons and fantastic wait staff, educated on the food as to what to recommend, bartenders that make a perfect martini… wish we found out about this place years ago, since we didn’t, happy to support for many years to come!“

“Friends brought us frozen eggplant parm, chicken parm & baked ziti. I just had surgery and can’t cook. We cooked them all up & every single dish is delicious! Excellent food. I am an eggplant parm aficionado and it is excellent. We are just thrilled by the generosity of our friends and thoroughly are enjoying the food! We love Craving for their breakfast & lunch but now we will be stopping by for the frozen entrees as well. Keep up the good work Cravings!“

“My friend and I had such a nice night out here! Totally loved the vibe, and the menu had so many interesting choices. We loved everything that we tried! Highlights included the queso for 2, meatballs, cauliflower satay, and fig melt. I haven’t seen anything like the Frenchman’s burger before! Such a cool idea and perfect for French onion soup lovers. Every menu item was unique in some way, and they had a great list of seasonal cocktails. Since I don’t drink, the bartender was so nice and made a special mocktail with cranberry and rosemary! The staff was so friendly, and everything was delicious. I’ll definitely be visiting again!“

“I was definitely very surprised by JDT's on Main. From the outside, no offense, it looks plain and dated. There is plenty of parking though, so plus! But inside, it looks welcoming and so clean. There are wooden booths along the walls, with table and chairs in the center. The wall decor is homey and in sections, obviously done with fresh chalk. There's a lot of natural light from the big windows in front, and you get a nice view of the church and ... Well, traffic. The restrooms are single rooms, but also very clean and well attended. The food was delicious. My burger was cooked over medium, as requested, and juicy without being messy. The fries were crispy but in no way overcooked. Our waitress was also very kind - she checked in several times but was in no way overwhelming.“

“I wish I could explain how wonderful this food is but I just can't. I've been in my truck, 1000 miles from home just wanting a GOOD meal. A truck driver friend recommended this place and I did not get a good meal, I got a GREAT meal. Perfectly crispy fried Pickles, perfectly crispy and sauced chicken wings, perfectly chopped side salad, perfectly seasoned Poutine Tots, perfectly mixed homemade ranch. Perfectly friendly service and perfectly clean environment. This place absolutely not disappoint. I promise I will go out of my way to come back.“

“I love Latin Cravings. The food is so good, and the prices are reasonable. The chicharrón is amazing and the yuca is so tender. The arroz como gandules is worth every cent. Please come eat here if you want authentic Spanish food. I know the hours are nutty but it’s worth the drive and money when they are open.“

“It was very popular on a Friday evening. It was too crowded for us to stay as we had an event that we needed to get to. Would like to try again when we weren't on a schedule.Parking: Lot behind the restaurant. Spaces not clearly lined, so some drivers make their own spaces.“

“The food was amazing and incredibly filling, and the staff was super kind and helpful. The restraint can get a bit loud though. The bathroom was very clean too!I am vegan, and was able to order some rice and beans. I chose the small portion, which was pretty large. The food was incredibly tasty! Would come again!“

“G’s Burgers is an incredibly fine establishment. The food tastes excellent right after it comes out, and you can fall in love with some of their dishes. Although some meals are a tad overpriced, the experience is still worth every penny. The restaurant is a hot spot among many people in Watertown, therefore meaning you might run in to somebody you know. The menu also has a variety of options, from meals to dessert. The staff is always nice to their customers, and the aura of the place is relaxed. You feel at home with the delightful aroma of the restaurant, and you can never go wrong with G’s. I’ve met a lot of people, and all of their responses about this restaurant has been the same; G’s never fails to satisfy your hunger and your mood.“

“Aziago's is THE PLACE for catering, and they were able to accommodate my food order for Christmas Day relatively close to the holiday. Due to multi-house traveling, I didn't have the ability to cook my Christmas dinner for family when they came over to my house for Christmas. Aziago pricing was extremely reasonable for catering. Sometimes, during the holidays, restaurants will double they prices for catering on the same dishes they serve on a regular night (I know from calling around). This was not my experience with Aziago. They were fairly priced and had a wide range of options to choose from (another restriction many restaurants have for holidays). The food was DELICIOUS. I chose to order alot of the classic Italian dishes in catering sizes vs. the standard Christmas dinner fare. It's probably some of the best catering I've had from a local restaurant. I didn't get a chance to eat there but the inside of their restaurant is beautiful (especially during the holiday). I will not only use them for catering next year, but I will 100% be dining in to enjoy their in restaurant experience. They won me over in a time when I needed help the most. Repeat customer earned“

“Easily the best sandwich shop in the area. Staff are always mega friendly and do custom orders without any fuss and always with enthusiasm. If you want a sandwich (Subway... come on dude! Gross...) don't you dare go anywhere else? Prices are super reasonable too.My go to: chicken cutlet wrap with Swiss, pepperoni, jalapenos, onion (raw, though sauteed is always available), lettuce, mayo and their homemade chipotle sauce. Comes out perfect every time.“

“As I've said many times. I love a Hole in the Wall spot. Bailey's Cafe might take the Cake.If you are near or far definitely stop in for lunch! I indulged in a savory Chipotle Bacon ? Ranch Burger made to order, fresh thick sliced vegetables with steak fries. The Bourbon Wings made me Regret only ordering 6 should've taken 12 more home ???. Sweet potato fries for the win crispy to the order, fresh coleslaw..... The Bill came to $37 something I tipped $15. Compliments to the Chef. If you are reading this go get the Bourbon wings ??????Picture below disregard my hand I was getting ready to devour that burger ?Parking: Parking all over. The Bar holds 87 at maximum capacity.“

“Gayle's is a spot to go get breakfast classics. They do it well. If you want some fancy breakfast that is 3 times the price this is not your spot. Eggs benny is my rec. service is great and super fast. Great if you have young kids who don't like waiting.“

“We really enjoyed our lunch. It's a family run place, there was a constant flow of patrons in and out (which is reassuring, and the help us from the moment we walked in , until departure. If I'm in Waterbury again, I'll surely visit again“
