The BEST chicken noodle soup on the CT Shoreline. Made in-house with fresh cut vegetables! You can see and taste the difference.

Best egg sandwiches on the shoreline. Hard rolls shipped in fresh from New York each morning and every egg sandwich is made to order.

First time here today. Ordered clam chowder was okay, not hot. A little on the expensive side.

Good subs. Tuna salad is very good. Chicken cutlet is good as well. Definitely one of the better options for subs on the shoreline.

This place was recommended to us so we decided to stop by on an early Monday afternoon. It was…read morebusy, but the line moved quickly. The space is pleasant, typical local Italian. We were pleasantly surprised by the array of cooked choices. My husband loved the chicken meal. I had the chef's broccoli salad. Really yummy & innovative. The cutlets were crispy! We bought them to make sandwiches for our kids. I also got a pound of breaded eggplant cutlets. Amazing! All reasonably priced. The owner was personable & chatty. The ladies who served were fast! We'll be back!

First time visiting CT this past weekend and this spot really stood out among all the places I…read moretried! There's really no better place for a pre-beach meal. Their menu is HUGE and will have something for quite literally everybody, whether you're into pizza, wraps, panini, or salads. This made it super tough to decide what to get, however. After checking out their Yelp page I decided to go with "The Boss." SO good. It had penne alla vodka, chicken cutlet, and some very fresh mozz. My only complaint is that I wish I had some chili flakes to add a bit more of a kick. Everything meshed so well together and I totally see myself recreating this as my next hangover cure. Additionally, we tried the potato salad. I am SO picky about potato salad and was literally dancing when I took a bite (please tell me someone relates to the happy food shakes). The potatoes were cooked to perfection and I loved how it had red peppers in it! The staff was friendly and the place was clean and well-ran. I went at peak lunch hour and was still served within 15-20 minutes, super impressive! Will need to go again when back in the area.

Floppy, underdone pizza-impossible to eat like a "normal pizza."  All toppings slid right off.  See my review for more info.

Nothing beats it. I would take a picture of my sandwich I just had today to give a presentation but it's been devoured. If you haven't given this place a shot, do yourself a favor and check it out. Business doesn't get any more local than it does at Walt's. Bravo! P.S. every sandwich comes with a free pickle

I absolutely ADORE this local hometown independent grocer for 4 reasons:…read more 1) The QUALITY of ALL their items is TOP NOTCH. The meats, seafood, deli items including salads, sandwiches, soups, prepared lunches, dinners, as well as bakery items, produce, and prepared frozen items are ALL HOMEMADE & DELISH! They also stock a fantastic selection of well known dry, refrigerated and frozen groceries! 2) The prices are extremely reasonable. 3) The staff are genuine, kind, helpful & efficient. 4) ITS NOT a hoity-toity exorbitant boutique grocer. It's an authentic old school neighborhood establishment that provides reliable, consistent, excellent quality groceries. AN OLD SAYBROOK LOCAL INSTITUTION that has stood the test of time. I am completely HOOKED on this place! I have had their grinders which are fantastic. Their croissants, cookies, soups, prepared dinners which are also fabulous! The portions are generous & the prices are very reasonable! Walt's is TRULY is a GEM in the local COMMUNITY! We are INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE to have this fantastic independent grocer in the area! PLEASE always remember to SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES! They are the CORE of all Communities! Try it! You will NOT be disappointed! ENJOY!

The crab and corn chowder was delicious though lighter in crab than I would have liked. Could have been "the pour" I guess. The Asian Salmon was delicious and something about the basmati was just right. Others got the crab cakes dinner, and the chicken salad wrap w fries, and the cod dinner. everyone was pleased and all plates were empty at meals end. We did notice it was hard to hear at the height of the busy time but wonderful to talk as it cleared out. There is beautiful art decorating the walls. This added to the homey feel. A nice variety as well. I especially noticed the quilted and framed art which were delightful birds and nature scenes. Some appeared available for sale and at very reasonable prices.

The fireplace perfect on a cold winter evening. The food prepared with finesse. Even something as simple as the fries were above average-likely the oil used.

A great place to watch the sunset and they have what looks to be a nice deck when it's not mid winter. We will be back again.
