“Slowest service ever. Unless your gonna stay for a few hours i don't recommend ordering food. Though the food is good. Ive been here serveral times and always food took 30 minutes or longer to be served this is a big complaint among their customers. The servers weren't the nicest.. though once i weren't and there was a very ocomidatiting young lady gave her fat tip. For a really good time at Lynons i recomend you eat before you go there. Last time i went staff was under age i had to get up and get my parties n my drinks. The Bar staff are the best . Nice vibe entertainment is always on point. They have great parking off street. It's also hard to find even with GPS. It sits back in the cut and the sign is small so if your not familiar with its location slow down nd look hard.”

“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!”

“I was my first time there. When you enter your greated at the door by a friendly staff, promptly your seated and given some home made nachos with salsa and bean dip, they arrive warm and really crispy, the atmosphere is quite pleasant the staff is always on point asking weather you need anything and how is your service experience. I got into a small conversation with one of the waiters and mentioned i was there for my birthday only to be surprised by a big sombrero and a staff singing to me. I was in shock but very happy they served me a complimentary dessert as well as complimentary ceviche made of tilapia fish. I must warn you if you go here please go hungry because the portions are ridiculously huge. I didnt give 5 stars because i plan on visiting again then i will edit my review accordingly”

“I'm a self-proclaimed pizza snob, and I personally think this is the best pizza in Hamden, as far as I've had. They've recently renovated after a fire, and the new updates are beautiful. They have all kinds of delicious looking Italian and other pastries, yummy cookies the size of your face, and other Italian grocery items and specialties. This is a "can't miss" restaurant, you won't be sorry.”

“Use to order here a long time ago, and ordered recently not knowing it was under new management. Felt for a slice of pizza, but since they didn't have slices, I brought a small pizza. The second time I requested it a certain way and he delivered. I ate the entire box, you would think I was eating for 2, guest my appetite is back. The sauce did not burn my chest at all and I ate it late at night. I would recommend ordering from here.”

“Crab town is one of the few places you can close your eyes and feel like you’re in Maine. The food is fresh, the service comes with a smile, and the crabs fight back as you try to eat them, screaming for their worthless lives until the steak knife triumphs and extinguishes their life with a satisfying crunch. Some crabs will even beg for their lives, pleading that they have a wife and kids before succumbing to their buttery demise. 5/5 would crab again.”

“I go every day to get coffee from my faves, Shelia and Camille! The Chai is my go-to, but I sometimes get a Caramel Macchiato from them if I need some more caffeine. Only issue is they always run out of bagels and pastries by around 11am and I'm lucky if I can get anything like that later on. Probably the best dining hall station on campus, but go early if you wanna get something to eat. They need to get more food inventory.”
