First time customer, convinced a friend to try it also. I was embarrassed that I invited them . Why 4-5 $ more if we sit in the restaurant rather than take out? At least inform us of this when you had us the menu. The hamburger was mediocre especially for the price. I bought two take out items which quite frankly I believe were left over from catering jobs or just simply OLD as one item was "sour" in two days after purchase.I bought the lasagna which was the worst I have had in a long time. Pasta was way way over cooked ( reheated after a catering event?) And the rest was gooey and mushy without being able to discern the separate ingredients , All one taste. I apologized to my friend who was not impressed with her lunch as well and the item she brought home for her brother was the worst he had ever had. I know this sounds made up with so many complaints, but it is not. Never will return . Really quite angry about the waste of money.

The Everyday Gourmet is absolutely fabulous! We had them cater my grandmother’s 90th birthday party and they did a fantastic job.Pat was a huge help getting all the details sorted and made great suggestions for the menu. Good communication throughout the process.The food was delicious (people were talking all afternoon about how good it was), but what really blew us away was the service. Sue and Anthony were amazing. Efficient and professional and very friendly. They helped with everything from set up to clean up and did a great job of pacing the food throughout the party. They took especially good care of my grandmother, making sure she had anything she needed, taking the time to chat with her, and overall helping make sure her birthday was extra special.

Had a delicious lunch here with my brother. Everything is homemade served by a lovely couple. My salad was exchanged to get the small because the large is a good size. My brother loved his turkey sandwich. We have also ordered catered food for a friend once and they loved it!

Hi Folks. I finally made it into here. It is a smallish place with about six tables that does lunch and dinner both eat-in and take out. The menu is good with specials that change roughly daily. I had their take on Black Bean Soup which was genuinely great. I also had their luncheon special which was a big Gourmet Hamburger. It was good but a little underdone. I ordered Medium and it was barely Medium Rare. This is a nice place to take an informal date. I've seen enough of them to know that they may want to expand. Parking is easy and 3000 Whitney Av is easy to find. Regards, OldeBear

Met a friend for lunch and she chose this restaurant based on her sister's input. What a fantastic find! Small, quaint restaurant, with exceptionally good food. Paul, our waiter extraordinaire, couldn't have been more pleasant and engaging.The fresh bread was fantastic. I had the Irish beef soup and was amazed. It was perfect and I grew up having a lot of that from an Irish Grandmother who was an exceptional cook. I thought i might need more so I ordered the chicken pot pie. That was scrumptious but half came home with me.My friend got the buffalo chicken salad. Fresh vegetables with a nicely flavored chicken.We split one of the carrot cupcake with is delightful cream cheese frosting. We were pleasantly surprised when the halves were served on two plates, well just see the pictures below .If you are in the Hamden area, I strongly suggest you stop in for a bite and/ or order your dinner to go! If you're lucky, Paul will be your wait staff!

Love this place! Whether it’s soup, a sandwich, or a salad— OR one of Pat’s special entrees, the food here is consistently exceptional! Everyone who works there is also very nice. A great place!
I want to give a huge shoutout to the Everyday Gourmet! I am very fortunate to have just starting working across the street from such a wonderful establishment! Not only is the food amazing but the staff is so kind! I was unable to pickup my food order this afternoon due to an overlap in clients and they brought it over to me ❤️ which was above and beyond! I will of course be back often and recommend them highly to anyone who’s looking for a great lunch! Thanks again!

$14 for a wedge with 1 chicken cutlet on it and 2 slices of tomatoes... crazy expensive. Wasn’t bad, wasn’t amazing. Just a sandwich...
