5 Best American Restaurants near Yale

“In town to visit and pay respects to someone buried in the main cemetery in town. Went to CJ's bc of the good TripAdvisor rating. We were pleasantly surprised that the food, service, and atmosphere was far better than the good rating already suggested. Fried perch was excellent, burger was great, fries were yummy, French onion soup was done really well, Rubin sandwich was very tasty, and the grilled ham & cheese sandwich was a big winner. I would highly recommend CJ's if you're in town.“

“Me and my mom went here for the first time yesterday. I absolutely loved the staff supper friendly and inviting. Everyone in there was taking to everyone even tho no one knew each other. It really gives me that small town mom and pop diner vibes. I love all the things to look at on the walls I can’t wait to bring my boys here I just know they will love it! The food was amazing! Best chicken noodle soup! And hands down best coffee in town! We will definitely be back ❤️“

“Food, service and wine were all really good.“

“after having surgery recently i was in no condition to prepare our usual thanksgiving dinner. i saw that Rix rANCH WOULD BE "Open". Well that was a bit off but I called and spoke with the sweetest lady. She took my order even though she sounded more stressed than Mrs. Claus trying to get the Big Man off for his long nights flight, ha ha. We arrived, my SO went in tp collect our feast. He came out with armloads of food. I ordered for four so we could have leftovers. Oh my goodness!!!!! I do mean ARMLOADS!!!!!! He had to make two trips. Succulent turkey, both dark and light meat, creamy mashed potatoes seasoned to perfection,perfect sweet potatoes(I'd love her recipe for these), green bean casserole like my mom made, yummy gravy, stuffing with lots of celery and onions YES, cranberry sauce, and even pumpkin pie for dessert. what more could I have asked for, nothing. I was amazed at how much wonderful, FLAVORFUL and hot food we were provided by this tiny little RESTAURANT and bar. Id never been in here or even paid much attention to this place be fore. SHAME ON ME. that has changed forever. if they can roll this out on one of the most important "FOODIE" days of the year, I'd really love to see what they do on a regular day.“

“Our server Jennifer was incredible! Food was really good, a great job to the kitchen manager (she is beautiful, she made me a fresh burger) Did I mention how great Jennifer was? We came back a couple days later and once again it was GREAT! Tracy has a great team.“
