The Continental Westhampton

Fun atmosphere. Happy hour actually starts at 2pm M-F. My club sandwich was huge. Fries were tasty. My friend got the smoky BLT and garlicky green beans. She definitely scored with the green beans. Delicious. The server was attentive. Parking was a challenge, but it's a congested area so it was to be expected. I'll definitely go back.

The nachos were delicious, as was my lamb sandwich. We went Friday night before Labor Day 2024, and it was a busy night for the restaurant. It was our first time eating at the restaurant too. My only comment is that our service professional was so slammed that night that we waited what felt like long periods in between her visits to check on our table. She was incredibly nice, though, and we could see she was being pulled in many, many directions at once, including kitchen questions from perhaps new staff maybe just learning the ropes.

That being said, we enjoyed the food and restaurant and will probably return again.

The food is excellent and the service was very good as well. I got the gruyere mushroom benedict for my meal and chip and salsa for the appetizer. The portions size was good. They also have a good drink menu with signature cocktails.

There is seating indoors, along the sidewalk, and on a shaded patio by the entrance. I sat outside and the street traffic was not too loud and the foot traffic was minimal so it wasn’t distracting.

I love the continental! It is my go to spot in the entire city! I love the location and the staff is lovely! Inside has a fun feeling to it and there is so much space on the patios for outdoor dinning!

The drinks are so good! This time I got an aperol spritz, but you can’t go wrong with any of there drinks! My go to meal is either the turkey dip or the three Chopt, which is their spin on the cob salad! Servings are monstrous! I always take half my meal home!

Had an amazing lunch here yesterday. We ordered the ham and cheese sticks, the BLT, and a French dip. The ham and cheese sticks could had the potential to be comically terrible (so many places deep fry random things that shouldn’t be deep fried), but this was delicious and well done. The BLT tomatoes and lettuce seemed farm fresh. The bacon was crispy (as I prefer on a BLT) and the pickle was perfect. The French dip bread seemed homemade (or at least local). The meat could have been a bit more seasoned on its own, but with the jus, it held up so well. Highly recommend.

Also, the vibe is so chill. May not be what all love, but I sure do. Service was laid back, but also attentive. Brought drink refills without asking. Will definitely be back.

The location is excellent, nestled among a row of restaurants on Grove. However, parking can be a challenge--there's no dedicated lot, so it's first come, first served on the street, and there's paid parking available in the back.

Service was prompt, but the burger I ordered was quite thick and messy, overflowing with sauce. The flavor was decent, but overall, it was nothing particularly memorable.

I really like this place. It's an old school West End classic. Great draft beer specials during happy hour. The wings are delicious.

So many menu choices. The blackened salmon special was excellent. Try the Brussels sprouts or broccolini.

One fixable negative: the draft beer was served in plastic glasses. Gotta go glass

Had a nice afternoon snack there this pass week. The loaded chips with bacon and cheese were excellent. Sat at the bar and the bartender Devin was a cool cat! The Orange crush hit the spot and was refreshing.

I placed an order with Uber eats. About a hour later, I received a notification that my order was cancelled due to issue with restaurant. It appears that the driver was at the restaurant but my food was not ready.

Neat retro diner experience. Fantastic sweet potato fries. Everyone enjoyed the food. Service was right there. Place was busy and had a good local vibe with many people chatting as if they met an old friend. Priced for a reasonable value. Recommended.

Vegetarian options: Felafel wrap was good

Parking: Street parking in a popular shopping area. Pay parking at $5/hr behind the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Good kid food selection
