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.

Sea dog with lettuce and American cheese. Their tartar sauce is amazing.

Sea dog ie amazing, and the cold lobster roll was overflowing. They have a wide array of menu options. Obviously the lobster rolls are the star. Don't sleep on the sea dog.

Fish tacos

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.

The atmosphere was astonishing, it really represents all that is the tiny town of Westbrook. Our server Pam, greeted us with kindness and enthusiasm. Best cold lobster roll on the shoreline without a doubt!

The Cole slaw! Sooo good. And an up close pic of that delicious lobster roll

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

Another great lobster roll at Edd's.  Hot ones best
dean p.

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!

Chowder

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.

Lobster bisque
Allison C.

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.

"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.

Shrim tacos BYOP Harkin Chardonnay

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!!

The outdoor dining area.

Great dining. Great service. Great venue. Make sure to order a lobster roll and try the brussels sprouts!

One of the final days of the year for using the old hot rod, I venture down to the shore, leaf…read morepeeping, and wanting to go to the Log Cabin. Located in Clinton Connecticut, this mainstay restaurant came highly recommended by many of my friends. I pulled in and parking was a breeze, even though it was busy. This parking lot was big. Lots of handicapped spaces also. My friend and I went in and we were greeted warmly, and promptly seated Knowing portions were big, but not realizing how big they would be we passed on appetizer. This is where it gets good! My friend ordered lasagna, and I ordered the eggplant Parmesan. We also ordered water, Immediately out came the salads that were included with the meals. These salads were medium sized, and we're probably good enough for just a lunch! Tomatoes, cucumbers, chopped lettuce, and a very nice house dressing, consisting of a creamy garlic, which was delicious. After salad was done our fantastic waitress brought us a big bowl of pasta and sauce. I could've made a meal out of this! This wasn't just any run of the mill, this was delicious pasta and sauce. Oversized entrées were next on the Bill and I ate probably 1/5 of the eggplant Parmesan. It was huge. I think three or four people could've split this. My friend ate probably about the same of the lasagna. For dessert, we split a Reesie's chocolate pie that was very, very sweet creamy, and hit the spot with the chocolate sauce and whip, whipped cream around the plate Bag probably weighed at least 7 pounds. We brought home the pasta, the lasagna, and the eggplant Parmesan. I loved the eggplant Parmesan. I make a pretty mean Parmesan, but this eggplant Parmesan was on point. It just exploded with great Italian flavors My friend liked the lasagna, as she said it was very, very nice I'm still raving about the big bowl of pasta that came with the meal. Dinner with the tip which included the two big meals which I think were 24.95 each along with the dessert and the big bowl of pasta was roughly $80 and change. This was a deal of deals. There will be meals during the coming week. If you're at the shore and you need takeout, this will be good for the week. I love this I am now a big fan and I look forward to returning in the spring when the weather gets nice All in all, I wonder what took me so long to come to The Log Cabin!

Back to Bistro to celebrate my wife's birthday. We made a reservation Saturday night. Upon…read morearriving, we were seated promptly, even though we arrived early. We were waited upon shortly after being seated. The dining room is spacious, nicely lit, and the seating at tables is comfortable. We decided to go with all tapas to share. We started with a nicely dressed house salad. Then we ordered and shared grilled shrimp a la plancha, empanadas, chorizo, and lamb-beef-pork skewers. All were nicely plated and delicious. We each ordered a Spanish rose which was a perfect accompaniment to the tapas. We celebrated my wife's birthday with a scrumptious order of chocolate lava cake served with a scoop of ice cream. Service was friendly and professional. Sadly, however, the dining room was noticeably not busy. We wondered why- could it have been that people were worried about the upcoming blizzard and just decided to stay home? What a shame. This is a really fine restaurant. If in the mood for Spanish-influenced cooking, then you really must give Bistro Mediterranean Grill and Tapas Bar a try.

We arrived around 4:15 to catch the Happy Hour. When we arrived, we noticed the slight musty smell…read moreright at the entryway...not a good impression. We asked the bartender if we could enjoy the Happy Hour at one of the tables, he said, No. Only at the bar. Something that was not spelled out on the menu nor the website. We sat at the bar. The menu listed the house gin at $5. I asked which Gin did they use as House Gin. The bartender said, I can give you Tanqueray but the price is not $5 like the menu says, it's $7. He said that menu was from Milford, not Westbrook. Weird...so I get a glass of wine, which did ring at $6 like the menu said. We ordered a few "tapas". Out of the four that we tried, the best one was the turnover (empanada), then the meatballs (tiny meatballs), then the fried calamari (which tasted and looked out of a frozen wholesale fried calamari bag) and last the pork medallion (not tasty at all). When the bill came, two of the tapas had the wrong price (higher than what the menu said)....I had to ask the bartender to rectify, which he did.....Poor people the ones that do not check their bills....they can easily be overcharged here....Big time..... Not recommended....not coming back.
