    Ham and Cheese
    Rajeev L.

    I really like this little place! It's almost always crowded, but that's because the food is so good! The staff is very friendly and helpful. They really care that you are satisfied and take time to chat with regulars. I tried the ham and cheese this visit along with a side of fries. The sandwich is enormous, so you really don't need the side but go for them anyway. I really liked the cabbage slaw and mustard sauce in the sandwich. They made the dish with a tangy and creamy flavor.

    My wife and I have been coming to The Dilly Duck Shop since they opened, and it's become one of our absolute favorite spots in Norwalk. Phyllis is always so warm and gracious in her greetings, she makes the place feel like a true neighborhood gem. The atmosphere is a perfect mix of modern simplicity and cozy, cabin-like comfort. But honestly, even if it weren't such a welcoming space, we'd still be here constantly because the food is INCREDIBLE. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but I do have my go-tos. For breakfast, it's the Yogurt Agave Bowl when I'm being calorie-conscious and the Double Classical when I'm not. Next time I'm ready to indulge, I've already got my eyes on the Bravas Fries. For lunch, nothing beats the Rotisserie Roasted Beef Sandwich with 24-hour onions...I'm practically salivating just thinking about it. To drink, I'm partial to the Fizzy Palmer, and their coffee is consistently top notch, the highest quality you'll find. We love this place and hope it's around for many, many years to come. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and check out this Norwalk gem.

    This place is truly amazing. It's a breakfast and lunch spot that's owned by a son and his mother. The food here is fresh, flavorful and it's absolutely delicious. I came in with a friend today. I had the Pork Stack and it was truly phenomenal. The rotisserie pork was a 10 out of 10. It came with two sunny side eggs, bacon and potatoes that were served over a bed of arugula.My friend had the Classical breakfast sandwich and loved it! The mom works the front of the house and she's absolutely lovely. Do yourself a favor and come and visit.

    Delisous and freshly made, the menu has a great selection of food and beverages. Great spot for a quick lunch. The staff was sweet and welcoming. I will visit again to enjoy this cozy little gem.

    Dilly Duck Shop ("DDS") has a 5 Star rating with over 200 reviews. It was #4 on the '22 CT Yelp Top 25 Places to Eat List. I could go through our food order (the breakfast Bravas Fries, the Lemon Fizz, the Special Corn Muffin with honey cream, my son's Bacon, Egg and Cheese) in detail and explain why it was all very good. But with all the prior praise, I don't need to do that. Instead, I'll highlight DDS's next level service. I met Phyllis, who modestly referred to herself as, "the chef's mother". I'll refer to Phyllis as one of the best front of house people in CT. She takes orders at the counter, and then acts as a service concierge for the rest of your visit. Phyllis was more than friendly. She cared. My 10 y.o. son wanted a Bacon Egg & Cheese sandwich, but he only likes American Cheese. He and I discussed away from the counter whether DDS has American Cheese. I suspect, in all her multi-tasking, Phyllis instinctively knew to keep a helpful ear open. I ordered and asked whether they have American. She whispered, "No, but our cheddar is very mild. He'll think it's American." Phyllis instantly got it. If she hadn't whispered, my son would have heard. Since she communicated just with me, she allowed me to pull one over on my son. Which is what the situation called for. There may be one or two other people in the whole state, who (1) would know to reassure me that their Cheddar Cheese could pass for American, and (2) would say it quietly so my son wouldn't know. You know what else? Even though DDS was fairly busy, Phyllis came over and talked to my son, and made him feel special, thereby distracting him from potentially noticing the cheese WAS NOT American. She made me feel special too. And her son, Chef Russ, also came out and made us feel special. Top Notch Service. This will sound made up, but I swear it's true. Towards the end of our meal, my son said "do you think we could come here on my birthday?" We live an hour away, but I'm in. Five Stars

    I had a classical BEG and it was perfect. The egg was just a bit runny (the way god intended) and the bun was heavenly. The woman at the counter is so friendly. I think she makes you feel at home. The decode is light colored pine. Such a nice atmosphere.

From the moment you walk in, you're treated like a regular even if it's your first time. The ingredients are always fresh, the portions are massive, and you can tell they actually care about the food they're serving. So far, I have not been disappointed with any of my orders. I always try to get something different but its so hard to choose because everything is just so good!!! Ive had: The Big Brown Burrito 10/10 The Oh Charlie 9.5/10 The OMG Plate 9.5/10 Hometown Breakfast Burrito 10/10 Tuna Melt 10/10 Grilled Chicken Sub 9/10 (rosemary is a bit strong on it but still delicious) Steak egg and cheese with home fries 12/10 my personal favorite!!

    I was at work and craving a breakfast sandwich, so I checked Yelp and found Dave and Charlie's…read moreHometown Deli. I decided to give it a shot, and I got greeted as soon as I walked in. The staff was super friendly, and I ordered a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese. It was made on a Brioche roll with a fried egg. Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of the egg or the sandwich overall. It was okay, probably a three-star kind of thing. Next time I went back, I tried the Calise sandwich, which has chicken cutlet, broccoli rabe, roasted peppers, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and balsamic glaze. I asked for the broccoli rabe on the side because I know everyone makes it differently. I get that it can be bitter, but some places make it taste amazing without the bitterness, so I wanted it on the side. The sandwich was really good, so I'd give it four stars, especially since the breakfast one was just three in my book. Sometimes you gotta visit a place a couple of times to really get a feel for their food. I wasn't really a fan of the broccoli rabe--it was a bit too bitter for me. But the sandwich itself was tasty, with well-seasoned chicken and really fresh mozzarella. Not sure if they make the mozzarella in-house, but it's delicious. It tasted just like you'd expect from an authentic Italian deli. Very good. Third time I went, I tried the Mother Clucker, which has a chicken cutlet, Russian dressing, cheddar cheese, and bacon. I wanted to try it because I'd seen it being made during my last visit and it looked awesome. It took about ten minutes to get ready. When I opened it up, I realized it had melted cheddar, not sliced like I thought, but it was all good. The sandwich was tasty, but a bit over the top with the bacon and melted cheddar--almost too much. I think using sliced cheddar would bring everything together better. The melted cheese kinda takes away from it, in my opinion. The bacon was crispy even with the cheesy sauce on top, and the chicken was nicely seasoned. I definitely plan to come back and try the Chopped Italian Combo. The staff's always friendly and welcoming, and it's a solid spot if you're looking for breakfast, with plenty of breakfast platters and other menu items that might catch your eye.

    I completely forgot to leave a review, but this was truly one of the best restaurants I've visited…read morerecently what a place! I would give it a solid 5/5. As a Middle Eastern food lover, I was blown away by their shawarma platter, salads, and everything else on the menu it was all top-notch. I visited New York a month ago and then headed to Connecticut. While there, I searched for the best restaurants and found this fast-food spot. I absolutely loved it! The way they received customers and the level of hospitality was outstanding. The people there were amazing. For me great customer service makes the whole experience and they nailed it. Now, let's talk about the food it tasted incredible. They told me they also serve biryani and haleem and as a huge haleem fan, I had to try it. I'll never forget that taste! I even asked to meet the chef and they introduced me to Chef Bala. He made an unforgettable haleem that truly tasted like the original Hyderabadi Nizami haleem. I asked him how he made it and he told me he's from Hyderabad and does this work with passion not just for money. You could really feel that in the food. The prices were surprisingly affordable but the food was high-end. The quality, the people, the taste everything was superb. Honestly, this was one of my best experiences in years. I'm definitely coming back again, at least for the haleem! Their biryani was also incredibly flavorful it felt like I was eating back home in Hyderabad, India. You guys are number one! Please maintain the same quality and standards you're well on your way to being the best in North America. I was in Norwalk, Connecticut for three days and I wholeheartedly enjoyed your food. The gyros, salads with egg, chicken sandwiches, wings, falafel you name it, you gave 100%! I love the food and service. They also have lamb and beef gyros, though I didn't try the beef since I don't eat it. Thank you for an unforgettable experience keep doing what you're doing!

I asked for hot peppers because I was gonna put them on the slice that was mine I opened the box and I noticed that the person placed the slices on top of one another??? since when do you place a hot slice of pizza on top of a hot slice of pizza. The cheese is going to come off of the bottom slice of pizza and it's ruined (it's pizza bread). I then asked the person for foil or something so I could separate and salvage what was left of the slice? A persons with excellent customer service would have apologized and given me another slice or better yet never done it. The person already had such an attitude about giving me something to separate the slices since the box wasn't large enough, I didn't know that the box wasn't large enough to fit the two slices until I opened it to put crushed red peppers on one of the slices. Nevertheless, he ended up giving me another box and told me I should've told him that they both weren't for me. I was flabbergasted. Why should I have told him that he shouldn't have put two slices of pizza on top of one another. That should've been common sense. I've been ordering slices of pizza for many many years and this is the first time that someone has ever done something so stupid and blame the customer. And didn't apologize for the fact that you handed me an item that wasn't going to be in the form in which I ordered it. Because I recognized it before I left the establishment. Yes the food is typically good, but when the service is horrible, then the food becomes becomes less Desirable and you spread the word and I will spread the word about the horrible service .!!!!!
