    If you're ever in the Norwalk area I encourage you to try Dairy King, that's right not to be confused with Dairy Queen. This family owned business is amazing. It is a staple in the Norwalk community and has been servicing its residence for of 50 years. The food is consistent and the ice cream is a must have. Growing up in the Norwalk area this is not a secret and by now I have tried almost everything on the menu. On a hot day a ice cream cone or cup will satisfy your need and of you want something less messy you can go for a milkshake. One of my favorite things are the waffles fries as they are the same every time I've enjoyed them which Is crispy and fresh.

    Dairy King is my go to place for hot dogs. They have the best selection of topping and the buns are always soft and fresh. When I got there my lunch never makes it back to my office because I just can't wait.

    We used to come here when we were kids and now we bring the kids. The food is GREAT and the service is better, they treat everyone like family. Gyros and chicken sandwiches are our go-to. The kids LOVE the race car and claw games and of course the ice cream. AMAZING Sundaes and flurries, and even Spider-Man/Sponge-bob. Perfect place for bringing the kids to sit with a cone in summer.

    This place is awesome! The customer service from everyone inside is off the charts. They always greet you with a smile and super friendly, efficient service. We've only been there for the ice cream/shakes but everytime we leave super satisfied. We'll be back again and again. Keep up the great service and awesome ice cream treats!

    This review is an emotional outpouring…read more Stew Leonard's (SL) has been a part of my life for 55 years. I first came to this store soon after it opened, when it was much smaller and the only SL store. I now live a few hours away from any of the stores, but 2 SL shopping bags are among those my family uses regularly. I still go here and to other SLs when it's opportune, and the close relationship between SL and my family culminated when, upon his passing, SL SR. was placed a few strides away from my parents at Willowbrook Cemetery (rated 5). Over the years our family developed a close personal connection with the store. My mother became good friends with the head chef there (the prepared foods are excellent--I still always get the ambrosia salad when I'm there!). Sorry I don't recall his name. He was there from at least the mid 90s to the early 2000s. As my mother grew older we started having increasing numbers of SL items as side dishes at our holiday meals. In 2001 when she died we had SL provide the whole Thanksgiving dinner. I recall going in and speaking to the head chef, informing him of my mother's passing. He said he had wondered what had happened to her and missed her. The connection between our family and the store grew with my wife and kids. When we got engaged I got my wife's parents a SL gift basket, complete with Elsa the cheese cow. We would all visit this store and some of the others while traveling, enjoying the ice cream on site and bringing non-perishables back home, as well as apple cider in season--we'd bring the coolers for that. I don't know if my mother ever met either the Senior or Junior proprietor. I won't say I 'met' either of them, but I did encounter them both together once. There were no intros, and it was brief and terse. It was early summer 1979 or '80; like many college students, I thought SL would be a good summer 'gig'. I went to apply and found no parking spaces, but saw another parking lot across the street. I parked there and two men, one old one young, both dressed business formal, went walking past. The older one asked why I was parking there. I noticed the SL employee-only sign only then; I said I was going to apply for a job. He insisted there were none available. I started to say I would like to just leave an application, but he cut me off, saying again "there are no jobs!" [Please continue reading in the review space for the Stew Leonard's store in Danbury. There wasn't enough space here to complete my review. Thank you.]

I love this location and my daughter was fortunate enough to visit our family for the holidays. I'm so jealous. My cousin saw her staring at the metal mug and purchased it for. That's family for you. I really miss the unusual vibes I get from Stew Leonard's atmosphere. I remember visiting as a teenager when I came to Connecticut for the summers. I'm highly recommending!

    Harbor Lights is your choice for the more formal dining room approach to seafood in Norwalk. Good…read moreindoor or outdoor options although the sun and heat had us choose indoor more than once. The seafood is fresh, well presented and tasty. Definitely runs traditional but not in a tired way. The crab stuffed shrimp (see picture) had real connection with the spinach and beurre blanc and as a result the jasmine rice was not dry or incidental to the dish. Service was good although we may have benefited from being a welcome no drama reprieve for our waiter. Given this is Norwalk and next to the harbor, it is perhaps not a shock to learn that entitlement could be on display. It literally was the "a lobster for you, a lobster for you, a lobster for you" kind of approach to ordering at the next table. And then come on man, really? The lobster is served and then you decide you want a sandwich instead and send it back? Showing off for both your kid and for your friend? Perhaps it my Midwest background that makes this so cringe worthy, but let's just say there is a risk of running into more money than sense.

    I was very wary coming here due to the reviews. But the service was absolutely wonderful. People…read moreare more likely to write a bad review than a good review. My advice? Give it a try yourself and make your own judgement. The vibes in there were wonderful. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. Although next we will sit inside where the AC is haha. We were sweating and not too much shade outside. The food was delicious. I got the steak sandwich and it was so good. The horseradish sauce wasn't my favorite but I'm not a big horseradish fan so I would take that with a grain of salt. My friends got a crab cake sandwich and another got an angus burger. Both seemed well liked by them as well!! The crab cake sandwich came with a tartar sauce that was so flavorful. Regardless, loved the food. We wore dresses and was able to take some pretty pictures. I would recommend.

Don't mind the long lines, crowds of people, or the 500,000 vehicles eating, sleeping, and roaming these roads of East Norwalk. Trust me, this place is worth all the traffic! I've been coming here almost every summer since I found this place back in 2015. There's usually several people already in line by the time I arrive, but it's never a long wait. It gives me just enough time to decide what ice cream I want to try, what toppings I want, and how I want to pay for my ice cream. I've always been more of a sundae guy because that means I have a far less chance of my ice cream spilling, and so that's basically always what I get here. Today's sundae was a large Chocaholic with peanuts, cheesecake bites, whipped cream, hot fudge, and cherries. Yeah people, I am a chocolate lover. Don't like it? Deal with it! And as always, my ice cream was top-notch delicious! What truly makes these experiences magical is the location. Yes, I know it's not directly next to the water, but this leads into one of my favorite Connecticut summer pass times ever! To optimize my experience, I would carry my ice cream over to the Overton's dock, sit on a bench that's right at the end of the dock, face the water, and enjoy away on a nice summer day. I love to feel the sea breeze caress my skin as I look over the harbor, ice cream in hand. I love to imagine myself riding on a boat, or maybe sit at the edge of a pier, feet dangling just mere inches over the water as I enjoy my summer treat. It's always a soothing sensation, and I only need to walk a very short distance to make it happen. Mr. Frosty's, I love you so!
