New American Restaurants near Bethany, CT

“We recently had the pleasure of getting a bite to eat at the Country Corner and it became more than just lunch. I was up in Bethany before COVID and had a wonderful meal then but upon walking in this time I was reminded that when you come here you will be welcomed like family. Between Cassie, Sandy and Moe they run a wonderful place. The place is beautiful and the food really does stand out. I had a Chef Salad which I was able to eat all of it. It was very big and very fresh. I truly enjoyed it. My wife ordered a Pistachio cake for dessert. ( I don't care for Pistachio) Well I ate half of hers. It was AMAZING! I was told it was made by Mom. She is so incredibly talented! You really could taste the love. I was told that Sam (dad) passed away a few years ago. You can clearly see and feel that his spirit lives on through their love and pride for this place. I look forward to returning and seeing especially what Mom has baked. ❤️??“

“This is a gem of a spot in Seymour!! Their food is top notch excellent and they have utterly delicious vegan options! Prices are incredibly reasonable and the portions are just right. My partner said it’s the best breakfast burrito he’s ever had in Ct. I got a vegan soyrizo sandwich and was also blown away. Can’t WAIT to go back and try more of their dishes - everything that came out of the kitchen looked bangin! The owners are friendly and outgoing. I’d just be aware the space is quite small so seating is limited - more of an issue if you’re wanting to bring a group on a weekend.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian but more importantly VEGAN options.“

“First time and the food was great. Good choices for apps, meals, in hand, and desserts. Specials too! Their beef brisket is nice and tender. So much to try next time we go. It filled up fast so might consider reservations. Recommend this place for the food, service and atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Dangle's is a black-owned business in well established downtown. The restaurant is nice and quaint giving you the feels of being connected to the owner and staff. The food was delicious - delivered hot and fresh. The staff were friendly and accommodating. It behooves anyone reading this to try this place out. You won't be disappointed.“

“Easily accessible and in walking distance of the New Haven green. Got brussels sprouts and a large pizza. The brussels sprouts were cut and fried in a unique way I had never seen before but it was quite delicious. The pizza was also quite good although a little too much garlic for my tastes (and i love garlic)“

“An oldie but a goodie! I first went to this place in 2013 and really liked it, and recently checked it out and still think it’s great. Love the ambiance, the food is fun and adventurous and the service is attentive. One of my favorite spots in downtown New Haven!“

“Literally just left after having the best lunch! My fiancé and I are new to CT and we’ve been desperately trying to find a cool spot with great food. We got the miso and lime mussels and poutine with our beers and it was SO GOOD! Simple but delicious. The portions were huge. The service was great and the beer was even better! So happy to finally find a great restaurant close to home!“

“This is one of the top three bars in New Haven. The owner takes pride in sourcing the most interesting and delicious wines. The ambience is mystical, intimate and charming, all at the same time and the music selection is always on point. Additionally, take a look at their menu as they have tons of tasty offerings on small plates. This is a must try!“

“2024) Even better service than when I first visited this diner. They serve all of the classic diner offerings. They have plenty of space for gatherings, meetings, etc. Plenty of parking spaces too.2017) I live nearby and I've wanted to try this place. It has easy access to I91. The food presentation and quality was great. The service was also good.“

“Such a fan of this restaurant! The food is always fresh and so far, everything we tasted has been delicious. The staff is friendly, courteous, and the atmosphere is very whimsical. Great for a date night or a night out with friends. They also have a trivia night on Wednesdays that I really enjoy.“

“Honestly can't beat how delicious the burgers are, and for such a fair price..! We used to order from Prime 16, but Christopher Martins does burgers better. They seem to have a better handle of how to actually cook them right, so we have switched!4/5 on atmosphere but only due to inside smelling strongly of beer (fair enough). Attaching a picture of the cajun fries – absolutely delicious. The onion rings are a little different (think "shoestring" onion rings) but very tasty“

“The food is always good, the staff is attentive without hovering, always pleasant and nice. Good menu with house specials, always perfectly cooked with great presentatio, not pretensious but not boring. The crowd has always been relaxed whenever I have been there. They have a nice patio. Plenty of parking. Prices are on par for what you would expect and the quality is always high.“

“A tiny take out only shop. There is no place to sit, no WC. The salad is very good though, fresh, ample size, great mix of vegetables and lettuce, flat bread, dressings. The drink menu is very good as well.The place is expensive, though. 12$ for a salad is a bit high. 6$ for a drink. But the food is healthy and tastes quite good.Service was fast, but a line forms faster. Expect to wait. Service was terse, not friendly, but that might be the pressure of the line.They is only street parking. The place is close to Yale, so there is lots of traffic. Order ahead if you can.“

“Party of 3. We shared 4 appetizers which were all exceptional. Calamari, octopus, crab cakes with Brussel sprouts and a salad. Followed by dessert. Presentation of food was terrific. The service was prompt and attentive. I'd definitely return.“

“I recently attended a private party there. The staff was extremely accommodating to my gluten intolerance issues and made me a separate gluten free meal which was very tasty and included gluten free bread and ice cream for dessert. I highly recommend them.“

“A friend recommended it and although it’s 35 minutes away, we tried it. Well, all I can say is tonight we were back there for the fourth time in seven weeks. The prices are absolutely fair, the Menu is very extensive plus specials we’ve had the Waitress (Melanie) Who is absolutely fantastic and is afraid to say stop don’t order that. It’s not that good tonight however, this is fantastic. And the food is excellent. Every time we’ve been there, we’ve taken food home for a second meal. Considering how many portions are under $24 with most of them under $20 that says a lot. How do you recommend a clam chowder, fantastic. So far I have had several pasta dishes of which both were so large. I took some home and I am a big eater. I also had a special sandwich tonight that came with aus jus similar to a French Dip but very very nice. My wife was upset because I ate it all. On Saturday evening, it can be a little bit noisy and we recommend sitting in the main dining room. However, we love sitting in the pub area in the table next to the electric fireplace, which is further away from the bar and it’s just very comfortable. The only negative we can come up with is because we like to eat leisurely and we tell Melanie to keep our food coming slowly we’re there for a while and the hard chairs make our butts sore. We wish we had pads on the chairs.If you’ve never been there, you have to try it.Parking: There are plenty of parking spaces with a good number of them for handicap and the in the four times we’ve been there, we have never had a problem. During golf season some golfers may park in the restaurant parking lot, which could be a problem but so far we’ve had none.Wheelchair accessibility: They have both stairs and easy wheelchair ramp with handrails on both sides“

“The bartender, Stefan, THE BEST. His personality is a vibrant concoction of charm and wit, infusing the bar with an infectious energy. With each pour, he serves not just drinks but a side of banter that keeps patrons engaged and entertained. A maestro behind the bar and a captivating host, his charisma turns every visit into a memorable experience. You'll find yourself not just savoring the wine he ever so carefully selected, but also savoring the delightful moments he effortlessly crafts throughout the evening. This place is a gem!“
