10/10 spot! Right on the main road and such a cute cozy location with a nice view of the water! Charlie's sea dog and lobster bisque was exceptional along with the fried chicken sandwich! Before leaving we were talked in the desserts made in house just like everything else, cornbread and chocolate chip cookies did not dissapoint! The staff is very friendly and chatted with us a bit, you can definitely tell they take pride in the food and business. Will be back and cannot wait :) read more

Edds has great food and great fast service. My friends and I loves their potatos. We sat on the water while we ate which was just a great experience. read more

This is for the shack at Safe Harbor Pilots Point South. Very nice young person sold me a decent sausage egg and cheese biscuit for about $10. It was fast and easy and good quality so it checked every box. I would visit the restaurant based on this experience. Very nice. read more

Had an early breakfast at Edd's Place with my best friend -- and it was the perfect way to spend a cold, rainy morning. Everything here is made from scratch -- you can taste the love in every bite. We had fresh coffee, a breakfast sandwich on a homemade biscuit, and even found a gluten-free Hostess-style cupcake that somehow made the rain feel like part of the charm. The ingredients were simple, real, and fresh -- the kind of food you don't rush through. I even brought home a piece of cheddar cheese cornbread for my love -- because some things are too good not to share. If you're ever looking for a place that feels like a warm hug by the water, this is it. read more

First time ever there since I've been coming to Westbrook for years. Now that I moved here I wanted to try this place and was amazed. A cute place overlooking the river...Ate inside the gazebo and it was very nice. My chicken sandwich and fries were great and its BYOB. I'm surprised more people don't know about this place. My only complaint, which is small is that when you order the coleslaw its in a very small container. Maybe two bites..Wish there was more but overall nice experience. I will be going back again. read more

I'm so happy the new owners have maintained the fabulousness that is Edd's Place. The fish is still fresh and delicious, the views are still peaceful, and the service is smooth! Things have changed, sure: playground is gone, fewer umbrellas, fewer plantings. But that's probably just the new owners' spin. I don't know if I'd take my out of town guests anymore as it doesn't feel quite as special as it used to, but for us it's still fine. The BYOB helps keep it affordable and given the water views and outside dining, that's pretty awesome. The fish tacos are some of the best I've had-they're simple and that's what makes them so good. Despite only one person being behind the counter and a large dinner rush, our food came out pretty quick. I was really surprised. read more

This was a sweet little spot right off the road on Rt 1 in CT. Had a nice enclosed area that we sat in as it was a little chilly the day we went. Looked like a great place to hang. Lots of outdoor seating right by a body of water. It's a 4-star for that. Food was a 3-I mean, it was fine but nothing that will blow your socks off. I should note that we were there for breakfast--had grits among other items and they were definitely meh. The service was lovely -- and bonus for us they sold baked goods which was a huge help as it was Easter Sunday and we were meant to bring a baked good to a dinner we're going to that evening. The pie----delicious!!! 4-stars there. This is definitely worth a stop if you are looking for a casual place with water views. I think it's BYOB. read more

Found this place online for a stop for lunch. We'll, I should say: the hot lobster roll was the best, no doubt. Very warm, buttery and not too salty. BUT!!! Be aware of the size of the roll! It is a 4-inch roll. So you get it: you'll probably need to order two rolls... At least, we were surprised when we first saw the rolls we ordered... I was okay, but my husband can definitely take another one! The chowder was not that good: not very thick but very salty... wouldn't try that again... The place was nice near the water, quiet. read more

Went here last night - food was great and our waiter also. I overheard a rude woman go off on some mistake he made-and this young man kept his cool and apologized repeatedly as she continued on a tirade. We will be back soon! read more

This place is so good. I had the fried chicken sandwich on the softest brioche bun with the freshest fry and fresh, sweet coleslaw with cabbage that was (still) crunchy. Fresh!! 10/10. Going back tomorrow. read more

Be prepared to wait forever for your food even when it's relatively not busy. Also they don't even bring all of the food for the table at the same time. The worst service you can imagine read more

Super cute place with outdoor seating on the water. I got lobster roll and fries and hubby got chicken sandwich and chili dog. Lobster roll had a nice buttered and toasted bun. Lobster was cooked perfectly and overflowed from bun. Good crispy fries. I wish they'd spring for Heinz ketchup but that's just a personal thing. Hubby said sandwich was delicious. He didn't care for the chili but the hot dog itself was delicious and again a buttery toasted roll which is essential. The coke slaw was a sneaky star! Crunchy and sliced thin and tossed w just enough dressing that you still got cabbage flavor. We got a cookie and stopped in on way out to grab it. There was a couple inside, him cooking, her serving and they were very friendly and chatted us up while he grabbed the cookie. We'd def come back read more

Fingers crossed as new management and staff take over! Same great setting but the familiar faces are gone and fresh new ones are doing their best. They are actively trying to increase staff so they can reduce wait times. The menu is pretty simple initially. We'll keep our fingers crossed that they keep it going and look forward to checking in for a meal now snd then to see how things improve. Good luck! read more

Edd's Place - Another great lobster roll at Edd's. Hot ones best - American Near Me - Westbrook, Connecticut

What a hidden gem! This is certainly a no-frills place, but we really enjoyed it. We went at sunset and enjoyed the beautiful view on the river. The food was all delicious and we found everyone there to be so personable. I liked how the shrimp and grits came out in a unique bowl and the cup of lobster bisque on a different place - it gave a nice homey vibe. Though it was counter service, they were kind enough to bring everything to our table on the patio. It's nice that they have a glass, heated indoor gazebo as well for chilly or rainy weather. It was much less crowded here too which I preferred to other places in the area. read more

"There is a place where I can go, When I feel low, when I feel blue" (Lennon & McCartney) We always try to kick off the warm weather season at some place with a celebratory lobster roll, and this year we did so at a new place.......namely Edd's Place! We found it on the busy Post Road, which is quite a contrast from the view behind it, where it's on the scenic banks of the Menunketesuk River as it makes its way into Long Island Sound. When you approach the place that is Edd's Place, you'll see a small building, a big gazebo, and a slew of picnic tables with bright red umbrellas right on the shore. If you are ordering or picking up a "to go" order, you go inside. If you're having your food there, just grab a seat, like we did in the gazabo. I started off with a terrific appetizer - a big portion of piping hot lobster bisque $6.95. Any hesitation I had about the price disappeared when I saw plenty of big chunks of lobster bobbing on the surface, and when I tasted my first silky spoonful of that delicious soup. It was stellar. Lobster rolls come in two sizes -something I really don't recall seeing anywhere else. We both went for the 4-ounce version ($17.50), and believe me - you get a big sandwich for that. The lobster rolls can be ordered CT Style (hot with butter) or MA style (cold with mayo) with a side of fries or slaw. The rolls are grilled and buttered, of course. The CT style lobster rolls were excellent, with plenty of sweet delicious lobster meat with neither a speck of shell nor a sliver of gristle in there ruining anything. The "small" version was plenty big, and with a side for $17.50 was a pretty good value. By the way, the fries were really, really good, as Yelper Jill E. noted. I concur. Our lunch for two, including one iced tea, ran $47.25 before tip. All in all, we found Edd's place to be an excellent place to have a very reasonably priced lobster roll and enjoy some very pretty scenery. read more

Typically lobster shack with excellent lobster rolls. Excellent quality and quantity. Very casual but perfect for a lunch by the River.

The shrimp tacos were very good and best on the shoreline. My son and husband both raved about their food! The gazebo was clean and they had wine glasses for our BYOB of wine! Glad to see they were open in the evening for the gorgeous sunset over the water view. The only suggestion is to spend a little time trimming grass and shrubs. Giving a little attention to cleaning/filling the condiment containers and brushing tree pollen off outside tables. Food is A+++ ! Prices are very reasonable. Better than the cash only guy next door. We don't need a live band and appreciate the cozy atmosphere. We will be back- as long as they are open in the evening!! read more

Edds Place is the definition of a hidden gem. The owner cooks up the freshest most amazing food at reasonable prices. The view of the water that runs behind the restaurant is a beautiful rarity , even along the CT shoreline. Pets are welcome on the patio (no inside seating available anyways ) and they even came out with a dog bowl of water and milkbone for my cavachon. I always opt for the fried chicken sandwich and crinkle cut fries. Soo fresh and good! read more

Edd's Place breakfast is outstanding! Happened upon this little gem while out doing errands with my husband & dog. I called to see if they were pet friendly. They said yes & we were in. This is one of those places that sits a little back off the road & you may not give it a thought if you drive by too quickly. My advice? Slow down, pull in & enjoy some really great food with a beautiful view! Husband had Benny & eggs & I had breakfast sandwich with home fries. Our dog was "treated" by them as well. Everything was delicious! Kudos & thank you to the cooks & staff who truly care about the quality of their food as well as their service! We'll definitely be back. read more

I was sitting across the table from Dean, staring down at a grilled-cheese sandwich that charged an extra $10 to add lobstah meat. The lobster at Edd's is good and the skeleton staff were universally attentive and lovely ... but I have to say, I think I was looking at no more than $5 worth of lobstah (OK, I'll stop now with the fake Maine accent) in my grilled cheese. The fries were crinkly cut; usually a sign that several freezer trucks between CT and ID were involved ... still, they were crisp and tasty. The view over the salt marsh was worth a million, of course. Keep coming, everyone. They ARE trying hard under new and devoted management (the original Edd's had quite the following). Be kind, too: in September 2021, almost every restaurant I've visited struggles to find good (or even "any") workers. read more

Don't care where you're heading, turn around and grab a bite at Edd's. Definitely a dive but that also makes it a hidden gem. My husband and I got the crispy chicken sandwich which had spicy Mayo, pickles and lettuce on it. There aren't enough good adjectives to describe it. It was absolutely delicious- perfectly crispy, real chicken and the Mayo was flavorful spice not unbearable. We're thinking of stopping again tomorrow before we head home. read more

Very welcoming environment. We had 3 kids and a dog with us which isn't easy at a restaurant and we were greeted so pleasantly right away. The kids could hula hoop and search for treasure while we waited for food. Our dog was brought a water dish and treat as well. The view of the water is very nice. We had a wonderful breakfast. read more

Stopped by on a recommendation for good lobster roll from a local they do both styles so all lobster roll aficionados will be satisfied! Plus they do give you fries with them and you can get a Mexican glass bottle coke, both big pluses to me. My wife and I ordered in the little shack, the friendly lady behind the counter handed us our soup and said we could have a seat and our rolls would be brought out. We started with a New England clam chowder since the day was starting to cool off and it warmed us right back up. We opted for 2 buttered lobster rolls and were very satisfied with several big claws included with all the picked meat. Seating is outside (or in a kind of greenhouse building) and we perfectly timed the sunset. Don't come too late because they close 8. read more
