This is one fast food restaurant must try!! I wish there was one near me! Sandwiches are spectacular!! They have some daily specials as well. Not only the meat, love their sandwich breads. It is like deli roll for their sandwiches. A little dense and makes a huge difference. I got a chili cheese burger. Yummm!! Plus the curly fries. Definitely will be back. read more

This was my first time going to this location of duchess.I feel like it's underrated, my family says the burgers are really good, but I don't eat them because I'm a vegetarian.I actually get the Mac and cheese bites and they are good.One time i had the veggie burger and it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be but for a veggie burger it was pretty good.

Tried this fast food yet quality restaurant when the Darien diner was closing early and enjoyed the meal. We had grilled cheese with a cup of chicken orzo soup. The menu is plentiful and it has a clean, comfortable, quiet vibe. It's also cheaper than the diner. Yes, it's fast food but feels healthier than your standard McDonalds or Taco Bell. The cashier wasn't remarkable but competent enough. A quick alternative to a sit down restaurant. read more

Nothing like getting ripped off at a Duchess. Went in asking for 2 of their 1/3 pound burger patties. As in, just the patties. I was charged $17.15, as if I was getting the entire 1/3 pound burger (bun, etc) After a ridiculously long wait, I was given 2 of what looked like is the small patty they use in a regular burger. No wonder the parking lot is always empty. I won't ever come back. read more

I've been coming to Duchess for a good chunk of my life. I've found the Duchess experience to be consistent from location to location. For breakfast you're going to want to go w/ the bacon, egg and cheese on a roll. I know that everyone in the world makes this sandwich, but Duchess does it well. I don't get too fancy or stray from my usual orders. Hot dog w/ the works, NO relish or the Big D Chili Cheeseburger. Both are exceptional. Duchess places bacon bits on the bottom on the hot dog bun. Then a nicely grilled frank w/ kraut and spicy mustard. CT has a handful of worth-the-trip hot dog spots (Super Duper Weenie, Rawleys, the late Swanky Franks) and I put a Duchess dog right up there. If you're not local, you might not "get" the whole experience, but I've loved this place for ages. read more

I'm not sure what happened or when, but both Duchess restaurants in Norwalk have gone down hill at a rapid pace. Coming to eat here for the first time in a year or so, we approached the counter to place our order. The person at the register was far from committing to any customer service. Just plain rude.

Ordered 2 combos on uber eats. Originally said 20 minutes. Showed up 55 mins later, completely cold and stale- we tracked the whole time on Uber. It wasn't the drivers fault- the restaurant cooked the food before the driver was confirmed. Why would they have it sitting out all that time just getting cold and then send someone stale food? Would have been pretty easy for them to just wait and cook it once the uber was on its way. Then we got our grilled cheese and it was gross- soggy and burnt. See pic of sandwich. It is literally 2 thin pieces of basic bread, a 5 year old could make a better one. Do not recommend ordering uber eats here as they haven't figured out timing. Gross, won't order or go here again. read more

"Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet sh*t! Usually, me and [Vincent] would be happy with some freeze-dried [McD's] right, but he springs this serious GOURMET sh*t on us! What flavor is this?" It is DUCHESS. Never heard of it? Me either, until a recent quiet weekend trip over to connecticut. The slogan - fast food served fresh. And fresh indeed - taking on the same strategy as Wendy's and In and Out (disclaimer: In and Out is still in a league of its own, it is the KING of fast food burgers). The burgers are grilled on the spot. A bit thin, but still pretty darn tasty and better than a plethora of fast food chains along the northeast. The bacon burger is fantastic, because they also fry up the bacon on the spot (instead of microwave it like other places). Fries are crispy and perfect like McD's. Chicken sandwich actually tastes like real grilled chicken, not rubber chicken like other fast food chains. Nice plump-cut tomatoes and crispy shredded lettuce on top. As far as the typical fast food chains go (not including In & Out), I rank Wendy's as #1, because of it's fresh-factor. In saying that, DUCHESS is one extra step above Wendy's for the same price!! read more

I recommends Duchess, but with some warnings. Do not go through the drive through. A) it takes a very long time B) they invariably get your order wrong. You then have to go in anyway to get what you wanted in the first place, or you go off disappointed. Some of the food is very good; grilled cheese, hot dogs, chicken parm and the salads, particularly a HUGE and inexpensive Cobb are all excellent. I would stay away from the sandwiches and wraps. The steak wrap is inedible. I wish the service was as good as the food. Some part of the order is wrong in 4 out of 5 visits, and they never apologize for errors. Maybe other locations are different. I hope so. If you are driving down 95, and value food over service, Duchess is worth the extra time. read more

Duchess is not the best food you will ever have in your life, but it's not the worst either. If you want to eat a semi quick lunch near NCC this is a good option for you. I would say average wait time for food is around 10 minutes, which is kind of slow for a quick service business. Even though it is a little on the slow side it is still pretty fast in regards to say a sit down/ table service option. It is usually pretty quiet in here so that is nice as well. Things i would NOT recommend you to get include: chicken nuggets, soup and sandwich combo, any salad. The salads are watery, the chicken nuggets are just breaded chicken clumps that are usually burned, and the the soup and sandwich combo i could make way better at my own house and you could too! Things you should try are their bacon egg and cheese, chicken wrap, bbq burger, or their hot dogs. (It's a lot harder to mess those things up ) read more

Best breaded chicken sandwich in the entire world.

Never have had a bad dish here and the food photos I included/presentation speak for itself. The visuals match the taste here. Cocktails are also strong and delicious. Servers are attentive and friendly. I did have one negative experience here but it's more representative of the community, not the restaurant. The experience here is so great they're bound to have regulars and that is who I had my bad encounter with. I was celebrating my birthday with a group of friends who had traveled from out-of-state to visit. We were laughing a lot as we were catching up when someone who claimed to be a regular at the restaurant approached our table to ask us if we could quiet down and basically said we were being too disruptive and that even the staff/manager agreed. One of my friends was mortified and we apologized to them but also explained the special occasion; the group seemed a bit more understanding after that. When our server came to check on us next, we apologized to him too - and he looked at us confusedly. He and the staff had no issues with our party. They had no idea that someone came to even talk to us! It was just the complaint of one entitled group of regulars who thought they had the right to speak for the establishment. We would've got dessert and at least another round of drinks after our meal before leaving but because of this group, we left abruptly and the restaurant themselves apologized profusely to us for that having happened. This experience as a whole made me like Olio even more though because they didn't just take the side of their regulars over our business, which I respected them for. Again, not a bad thing to say about Olio - best food and service in Stamford.

The Rioja we got was from a different vintage then on the list (this is common, I know), and nobody warned us (group of 6 people) that this was their only bottle... Anyway, the food was outstanding. Fresh bread with white bean sauce was flying off the table. Miso Soy Grilled Octopus was sublime - texture, seasoning, sauce. Fried burrata was excellent.

They are very consistent, I have been a customer for about 10 years. I was surprised to see less than stellar rating, so decided to write my review. If what you are looking for is coffee and nice setting you cannot do better.

"I'll go back to the diner I'll write another letter…read moreI hope you'll read it this time" (Billie Eilish) I kind of laughed when our server brought over our menus. They were in a heavy book (reminded me of a high school yearbook) with six pages of choices plus an insert of daily specials. Post Road is the kind of diner that diner lovers dream of. Their menu is an embarrassment of riches and would seamlessly fit in alongside anything you would find on the Sunrise Highway on Long Island or on Route 17 in New Jersey. Three of us walked in around 11:30am today, and our first order of business was deciding if we'd go for lunch or breakfast food. We all went for breakfast plates- pancakes ($9.99) with a side of scrambled eggs ($2.99), GF Pancakes ($12.98), and for me a "Protein Breakfast" ($13.99) and a coffee ($3.49). So, I'm sure you're asking, "what on earth is a protein breakfast?' Well, it was four egg whites, a few gorgeous tomato slices, and a nice piece of grilled chicken. It was pretty filling and everything tasted great. Our server was efficient and professional and swiftly brought over a "to go" box for the excess of those enormous pancakes. The dining room is awesome, a real throwback to the 1950's with plenty of old-time booths, art deco neon signs, checkerboard ceramic tile, and music\entertainment\pop culture images everywhere. We really enjoyed our visit !

I ordered Turkey & dressing w/ mashed potatoes and gravy on all of it. My appetizer choice was chicken noodle soup. I had iced tea and water, and finished w/ fantastic pecan pie alamode. My waiter was prompt to greet me, answer questions on the menu, and all the stuff a waiter should do. I really enjoyed my dinner at Post Road Diner. I would give it a 4.5 but not quite a 5.

Our server had the whole patio to himself and did a great job in a packed space. My only complaint is that it was quite loud, but I also typically prefer a more quiet experience for dinner. Definitely social and buzzy if that's what you're looking for.
