A good formula never fails. Serving great food ever since inception. Warm and welcoming ambiance; very college vibe/ Fairfield U. Reminds you of a place you go to after a late night cram for a midterm. Service is amazing as the humble nature of both owners shine through. Basically family in here. Enjoy your breakfast and see you tomorrow. read more

Good wholesome food. Service is family oriented. Always been our go to breakfast/ brunch. Ambiance is collegiate/ family friendly.

Tomato soup is delicious. Went there for my meatless Monday. Everything in the case looks good. Will have to go back. You stand in line to be served. Seems that people mostly do takeout, but there are a few booths allowing for quiet conversation with a friend. read more

I like the concept and ambiance of this place. It has a cool, casual vibe, with a variety of soups and premade sandwiches showcased behind glass displays. I so love that they have unsweetened fresh brewed iced tea! I ordered the grilled veggie sandwich: zucchini, squash, eggplant, pesto and mozzarella cheese served on an oatmeal type sliced sandwich bread. I requested it be warmed. I ate in. The sandwich was good, but this type of bread really is not the best pairing in my opinion. I would have chosen a French or Italian bread, or even a flatbread or foccia. I am bummed sandwiches cannot be made to order.The iced tea was great even without fresh lemon-they did not have any but kind staff asked if I wanted some lemon juice instead. Staff was friendly. The bathroom was very clean, but some of the tables and booths needed to be wiped down. There is a small parking lot and outside dining area. I may be back to grab an iced tea and may try the soups at some point, but think I will pass on the premade sandwiches. read more

Love that they post the ingredients right up front for you to see. Love that they offered to give me a taste. (Didn't need one - they are all great). Love the big picture of Jerry when you walk in. Soups are always delicious. Got all three to bring home. And one to enjoy while there. Had the Tuna sandwich once before. That too - was great. Don't miss this place. Great food. Great staff. Great vibe. read more

Good soups however if you have a favorite you may have to be patient they sellout or don't make some of their options in a regular basis Another watch-out for is some bathes are saltier than others so I recommend Saratoga before buying read more

This is not a bad 3 star rating. I am an avid food reviewer, and I, Dan Hanis, believe this restaurant even with a 3 star rating is a great place to eat at. The restaurant created a great atmosphere for its customers. Unfortunately, my experience is not one I would deem 4 or 5 star worthy. I ordered the Do it Like Dan Soup along with the Spicy Chicken Burrito. The Do it Like Dan Soup was a cheddar bisque which I thoroughly enjoyed. On the other hand, my Spicy Chicken Burrito wasn't spicy and was worse than your average Qdoba burrito. I know what you're thinking, "Dan, why would you get a burrito at a soup and sandwich restaurant"? To that I say... A RESTAURANT IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS WORST ITEM ON THE MENU! God Bless America and God Bless Food. That is all. -Dan Hanis read more

I only went for soup and let me tell you it was delicious -- some sort of coconut creamy curry. It was served the very fresh/soft focaccia. (you get a choice of that or crackers). My mindless self left my credit card here and days later I figured I'd call on the off chance that is where I lost it. Yep, they were holding it locked up for me. What honesty! Thanks Chef's Table! read more

Chef's Table has the best iced coffee in Connecticut. Their caramel flavoring is absolutely delicious with any milk. Although it's expensive, their chicken bacon ranch wrap is my go to sandwich when I'm in Fairfield. Their bacon egg and cheese is also great but you can unfortunately only order it before a certain time. Not only are their salads fresh, but they have a wide variety of toppings to choose from to create your own salad. The open garage door entrance is just as inviting as the employees and the eccentric decor makes adds to the welcoming environment. read more

Chefs table advertises fresh sandwiches, but in reality they are pre made and are definitely not fresh. I believe they recently switched from custom made to order over to pre made, which is a shame. I will not be coming back. read more

Food is consistent and good. Service is good most part. Need better system for ordering and paying for food. Decor is pretty cool.

In Fairfield, we waited in line to order, the people ahead of us had a salad made choosing from various toppings offered. I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap with a GF wrap, it was very good but quite spicy, also ordered a bacon and egg sandwich. A table came open while we were paying, so we were able to eat inside.while eating, decided to get a coffee, but the line was very long so we ordered online. It was a very casual atmosphere. There were wet-wipes on the tables, presumably so that customers can clean their own table. We enjoyed, will be back. read more

I've always wanted to try this place and randomly popped in today for lunch. The place was cool and felt clean and comfortable. I was taken back by the prepared foods but I ordered a spicy chicken burrito anyways. I thought the sandwiches would be made in front of me to order. After they heated the burrito up, I took it home and was impressed with the big portion and fresh taste. The burrito had every ingredient I wanted. I will definitely be back to try their other sandwiches. P.S. I don't usually get banana bread, but they had some slices on the checkout counter and I decide to give it a try. Delicious! read more

Haven't been to chef's table in a few years- pleased to know it's still around in a cozy location on Post Road! Though this location is cozy and a bit more intimate, I really liked that it still carried the same charm as the original location- cool art/music decor and still a great selection of fresh salad and cooked food. I ordered the egg white CrossFit omelette with wheat toast (have hash brown to my friend ) and small black iced coffee. The omelette was filling! Never had sweet potatoes in an omelette before. Can't wait to come back next time I pass through Fairfield! read more

Have lived in Fairfield for 2 years and never knew this place existed! In an unassuming building with garage door style store fronts... I was in between meetings and it popped up on my google search for "breakfast." I got the standard BEC with jalapeño and tomatoes on wheat sourdough... the bread was almost the best part - so light and delicious but crispy perfect crust. Jalapeños and tomatoes were fresh and crunchy and eggs were fried perfectly. Decaf oat milk latte was perfect! Place was packed at 9am on a Wednesday - I ordered ahead and it was ready a few min early so I got to check out the small, but very cool, space. I'm mad I didn't know about this place sooner but will definitely back for more breakfast and to try lunch! read more

Great upscale NYS deli. Best salads around! They have a nice seating area and fresh air with the open "garage door" breezeway. They have sandwiches and soups that I've never tried. Great grab and go food. read more

There were flies in the salad bar. Sandwiches were premade and when asked if I wanted it warmed I said yes It came out cold. Wouldn't recommend this place! read more

Look no further! Great location, freindly service, and the food is amazing. Rich has, hands down, the BEST bagles we have ever had. Chef's Table has a loyal following and they can add us to their growing numbers. You will not regret a visit! read more

Super cool set up inside and very friendly employees. Loved what we got for a quick and easy takeout meal!

I can't believe I'm writing a negative review but my recent sandwich there was so bad, I had to say something. I got a premade balsamic chicken wrap at 2pm. I took one bite and noticed brown lettuce. Took another bite. More brown lettuce. Opened the wrap up and it was all brown lettuce. Took one bite of the other half of wrap and bit into a bone? A piece of plastic? I couldn't figure it out but it was sharp and hurt my mouth. Tossed the rest into the trash. You guys are better than this. read more

Love this place. Today was a soup day and they have the best variety of soup to pick from. Best thing about it is they let you sample until you find the one you are looking for. My go to soup is the turkey chili. It is so hearty and flavorful. Not to mention they also have a variety of sandwiches ready to go as well. Definitely a neat place to have some lunch. The only drawback is the parking. Their parking area is not that big but definitely worth the walk if you have to park somewhere else. Two thumbs up! read more

The Pros: Great decor, lovely staff and a salad bar filled with variety, especially with the types of foods you'd often get as a side dish such as quinoa, roasted brussel sprouts, blanched green beans etc. They have wine and beer! Decent kinds and varieties and decent prices! Cons: Not all of the salad bar items were labeled. Not good for vegetarians or other folks with special diets. It's self-serve seating which I rather like, but it means you really need to clean your own table. The brussel sprouts were over-cooked the day I went (2-2-13). I believe people who don't like brussel sprouts are the ones who've only had ones which are over-cooked. This veg should never be over-cooked. Let it be known that there were children are running amok everywhere. I don't hate children, but I dislike loud unattended children. So I guess that's great for people who have kids and want to eat lunch out and pretend they don't have kids that my be annoying people. Other than that, it's a nice place to get lunch. read more

Don't come here if you are in a rush. From parking, to ordering, to waiting to pay. Every part will require waiting. Lines are not set up efficiently and the same person operating the cash register also makes the coffee. Expect delays. read more

It was not busy when we went so there was no waiting. It was off hours and we picked up some things to take home. Corn dog for my son, a cookie for everyone to share (they are huge), a baguette, and a bagel for my spouse. All were excellent and received rave reviews. read more

One of my go-to spots for lunch. They have something for whatever mood you are in. A cold winter day with snow falling? They have the perfect soup. Hot summer day? They have the ideal pre-made salads, or make your own! Plus live music, this is a must-try in Fairfield. A few of my favorite items: Chicken noodle soup, sausage and bean soup, sesame noodle salad, tortellini salad, and orzo w/veg salad. read more

Very good food, and lots of options including salad bar and soups. My breakfast platter had one piece of very nice bread, and sweet potato home fries, but a bit on the small side for $7. read more

Last week we went there for bagel and coffee. As soon as we enter we felt unwelcomed by a pregnant lady, she looked at us unhappy, crappy attitude like we bothered her.. We thought it is ok maybe she wasn't feeling well we all are human. We made our order and started to wait, after a while we saw a gentlemen moving a big open garbage bin and then he didn't change his gloves and started to cut the ham for our bagels. DIRTY! Disgusting! I couldn't wait any longer i told my husband i dont want to take a chance to get sick and we left the place. when we enter the car my husband also noticed, she charged EXTRA $$ for a salad we never ordered.. At your own risk! read more

I have eaten at this restaurant a few times, at all the locations that . Every time I go, it gets worse. The last time I was there, will be the last time I will eat there .The Egg White Omelette I had was drowned in butter. The Hash Browns were the same frozen kind, served at McDonald's. The only good part of the meal was the toast. The bread obviously came from a local bakery. No way was it baked there. It was a cold, rainy morning, and for some reason an employee opened up the garage door to let the wind and moisture in. As I was leaving, i had to use the men's room, Which doubled as a storage closet Crap everywhere in there. This place will be gone by end of 2017 read more

Love these guys! Always great service, bright and cheery open space, love the roll up doors AND the patio seating! *Reason I love these guys the most - you can get breakfast here later than anywhere else in town.* In the summer, it's til 1:30pm, and 3pm the rest of the year.* GOOD sized omelet is a great price, they have turkey bacon (& plant based milks), and a Nice selection of hot sauces, and organic coffees too. (They also have sammies, and wraps - check 'em out - they have a great spread!) *always a good idea to double check, just to be safe read more

My wife just called them after trying to order lunch through their web site. The web site was not updated so she called Chefs Table Fairfield and nicely told the woman on the phone what the issues were and to place the order. The woman's response? Well, don't know what to tell ya! Really? THIS is how you speak to your repeat customers? Customer Service is going down the toilet in this country. read more

Although this restaurant has been our "go to" for salads for quite some time now, we had an unfortunately painful experience with them today. Ordered through Uber Eats (was Ben paid the $1.50 extra to get it faster). The bag was indeed delivered before expected which was a nice surprise...until I opened the bag and it contained only 1 of the 2 salads we paid for. Bearing in mind the restaurant is 9 min away from our house, I called them to notify them of the error and see what options we had at that point. The girl who answered the phone checked with the manager and replied to me- we apologiZe, my manager says he will drop the food off himself. I said that would be amazing (thinking I would still be able to eat my lunch with my husband since it was being done as we spoke). To my dismay 1 hour 20 minutes passed, no salad, no phone call. Nothing. I again reached out to the restaurant. The young lady who answered the phone said-oh I apologize, our manager actually left and forgot to grab the food to deliver to me and went on about his business apparently. The young girl on the phone suggested I go back through Uber Eats to get the salad delivered (as if paying the fee and the delivery charge again was a totally acceptable idea. I proceeded to tell her that this is a horrible user experience. She then lied and said one of our works called you twice because we done have access to your information to even have your address. To which I promptly checked my phone for missed calls and unsurprisingly there were none. I encouraged her to give the feedback to the manager and have a talk with the worker who lied and they called me twice. She then replied "I just work here". Naturally I am frustrated and disappointed because we do really like the food but have a bad taste in our mouth now because of this ridiculous experience. The manager forgot he had committed to dropping off the food we paid for but didn't get and didn't seem to think going back and getting the food and dropping it off was worth his time. He just went about his plans. It is obvious the standard for their customer service is learned from the manager on down. Total bummer. read more

Cute place, great food! And if you're gluten free try the bagels! Best GF bagels I've ever had hands down!!!!

I agree with Mike C. Chef's table, or Groovy's, does try a bit too hard to be the hip spot in town, especially now that they sell booze. But don't get me wrong, this place is pretty damn unique. They have an insane amount of music memorabilia that is sweet to browse, lava lamps at every table, and even t-shirts for sale. Most nights they have a musician set up playing to entertain eaters, sometimes they're mediocre, and sometimes they are really impressive. My favorite thing about this place is actually their bathroom. It's awesome. Trust me on this one. As for the food, meh. It's definitely not bad, but not the best in town. However, they do have some delicious soups if you're looking to dish out more dollars than you're used to paying. And their salad bar is good too. read more

So me and my fiancée really like, sorry liked chefs table. She is gluten free and they make really good wraps that she enjoys, I always get a sandwich. Well today my fiancée goes in at 2. I just want to make a side note all the places I've ever worked lunch hour for like a break and most restaurants is typically 11-3. But as I was saying my fiancée stopped by at 2. They don't have gluten free wraps laying around they are made to order. My fiancée was told they don't make fresh food after 1:40. I'm sorry that sounds like a complete load. I really really hope the owner sees this review. So not only did my fiancée not get any food but a worker ended up telling her that it is a personal problem that she cannot have gluten in her food and he isn't going to make her a gluten free wrap. Do not ever go back to this place. I wouldn't be surprised to drive by and see a "whites only" sign outside their restaurant one of these days! read more

Great selection of soups and sandwiches . The food is fresh and the quality is excellent . If you want really good food this is the place . There is a small dining area but it's very comfortable with booths that seat 4 or 2 . Overall this is a great alternative to restaurants and fast food options read more
