The Crock of Chili came out piping hot with melted cheddar, jalapeño, sour cream, and tortilla chips, rich and hearty from the first spoonful. The Breaded Popcorn Shrimp was crisp and well‑seasoned with a wasabi dipping sauce that added just the right kick. We ordered the Peremech Sandwich twice -- Tut's spiced ground beef wrapped in pastry with bouillon, sour cream, soy sauce, and sautéed onion -- unique, savory, and surprisingly filling. The soft‑shell crab sandwich was the standout, fresh and cooked perfectly. Overall, great staff, very good service, and large portions make Rory's a dependable spot for a solid lunch.

For a Sunday at 1pm, It was packed- 20 minute wait so we ended up at Rory's just down the road. My sister got the eggs Benedict, father and I both started with the French onion soup and we split a crab sandwich. The waitress was super kind and they even split the crab sandwich on two plates with fries which was nice as some places just give you the meal and an extra plate. I would definitely recommend going to Rory's if you feel like skipping the line at the diner and the diner-esque food. It wasn't packed, service was great, we didn't feel rushed and the food was very good.

This is for those people who like a small diner, with a hands-on touch. I was in the mood for a…read moregreat traditional breakfast, and that's what I got. I followed my instincts and ordered the homemade corned beef hash, with one scrambled egg and hash browns, and was very pleased with everything (except the bottled grapefruit juice, which was mostly corn syrup). As you can see from the photo, the chef had a generous hand! The service was friendly. A lot of workers came in to order breakfast sandwiches. I think there were nine small tables in the whole place. Parking was easy, but pulling out from the parking area to go home can't be done in a rush, as it's on the corner of Ledge Rd. and Noroton Ave. It was morning rush hour.

We absolutely loved everything about it. Might even go back again today! We were staying on a boat at Safe Harbor Yacht Haven and it was an easy walk. Here's what we tried: Clam Chowder - As thick as I've ever had and very good. Mussels - White wine broth and very good, but maybe a little sand in some of them. Goat Cheese Quesadilla - Excellent French Dip - Excellent Fish and Chips - Very good Service was as good as it gets, prices were reasonable. This place checks off every box for casual fun dining. Loved it!

Are you Sure? Girl trip! 1st stop!…read more They didnt open until noon on the day we went. So we had to wait 1hr 30mins ish. There was a event which is great but everyone seem preoccupied for the event. Perhaps they should have closed for the event. The patio was closed for event. This made us very sad...wish we could have just taken a pic. -French onion soup- was way too salty -Cali burger- small but delish. I think they use gauc and not just plain avocado. But it was excellent. -Steak sandwich...dry and flavorless and didnt look like what jungkook and jimin ate on the show. -Fries- wasnt hot and was mid. I feel like none of the food was hot though. Maybe just the soup. We could have stopped by again on our way to NYC but ...we didnt. There was a friendly doodle that was the highlight of this visit. Was so cute. Oh and prayers to Jen and her family

The staff was great- very friendly, especially Juan the bartender! They had a great array of food to choose from and what I enjoyed most is that they have cauliflower pizza that they make in house and didn't yeast! This was great for someone like me who has a yeast allergy. I would like to come back give more of the other menu options a try. They have great happy hour deals and they also have live music on Saturdays, always a plus!

There was a large party in the front room so I figured they would get attention. We got water right away and then we waited and waited.

Everything was good. The three stars are for the food - the missing stars is for service. It's the holidays so maybe that was the issue. We have been here a few times and the food brings us back.

From the moment we walked in, the hospitality from the staff,and chef made us feel right at home. We started drinks with a Strawberry Cosmo and a Paloma Spritz. Both refreshing and dangerously strong in the best way possible. For apps we came for the Crispy Duck on Sushi Rice, and as someone who usually scared to eat duck, this completely changed my mind. The duck was unbelievably crispy, similar to crispy prosciutto, and paired perfectly with their special sauce. We also had to do the Crab Cake was another standout, especially with the house-made Green Goddess dressing. The chef even came out to explain how he prepares the sauce, which made the experience feel much more special. For the entrees, we ordered the Linguine Fra Diavolo, loaded with perfectly cooked shrimp and the perfect amount of spice, alongside the Steak & Chips finished with a truffle vinaigrette. Somehow, every single dish just kept getting better. And because we clearly hadn't eaten enough, we had to try the Bacon Mac & Cheese Balls with smoked tomato sauce. I honestly could've eaten an entire plate of those. To end our meal, the chef surprised us with his Duck Egg Brownie, and it was one of the softest, fudgiest brownies I've ever had. A 2 hour train ride sounds crazy... but Flinders Lane made it absolutely worth the trip. I can't wait to come back to try the kangaroo!

We tried: - Korean pork bao buns - very one note, overwhelmingly sour from the sauce. Not much contrast at all in flavors which you usually expect from a bao (sweet, salty, savory is what I would expect). - Fried cauliflower - I thought it was fried well and the sauce was good. The cauliflower itself didn't taste seasoned though. - Sausage roll - this was pretty good. - Linguine fra diavolo - supposedly the "staff favorite" they were out of shrimp so they made it with chicken. This was really bad. Overcooked, limp linguini with a very spicy, watery sauce. Hardly any chicken. This was worse than something you could make at home. - Signature meat pie - this seemed like it could be good but overall the pie and fries seemed old, like they had been cooked hours before and then reheated. Overall, the food was quite expensive and just not very tasty. We wouldn't come back based on this.
