    It was just okay overall. There were plenty of tables and no wait at all on a Saturday at 1pm. The appetizer sampler was good, especially the onion rings and egg rolls, which were the best part. The Caesar crunchwrap tasted good but felt a bit heavy. The kids breakfast was perfect, though. The milkshakes were definitely over the top but in a fun way and big enough for all 7 of us to share. The place was clean and staff were fine.

    My friends and I wanted to see what the fuss was about, so we went here for lunch. Wow am I glad we did. Ambience wasn't anything special but the waitstaff were enthusiastic and they know how to have fun (two of them randomly broke out into song behind the bar). Food was spectacular. I started with the gnocchi alla vodka. The gnocchi was the perfect texture; pillowy with a bit of bite. The vodka sauce was creamy, cheesy and savory. Since this restaurant is all about over the top meals, they dropped a Parmesan encrusted fried burrata on top, which was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I loved this immensely. Then I got something off the viral section of the menu;: the fried chicken Mac n cheese monster burrito. The Mac n cheese tasted very average, but the fried chicken had an excellent flavor and the "special sauce" is definitely worthy of being called special. Smoky, creamy and wonderfully seasoned. Thankfully they give you a syringe filled with it when they bring it to you; I made sure to use it ALL. It also comes with waffle fries which were seasoned as if they were curly fries; they were crispy and very delicious. Believe the hype!! This place is fantastic and I highly recommend it!!

    We saw a reel on fb and had to try it. We booked a room and made the 4hr drive the next night. It was 100% worth it. We sat near the kitchen so we got to see all the amazing concoction coming out. The serving sizes were huge and delicious. Were trying to figure out if we have time to grab breakfast before we hit the road to drive home. We've already told a bunch of people at home they need to take the trip w us next time. Im kind of glad its a 4hr drive away other wise I wouldnt fit through the door. They said the specials are always changing and I would want to try them all all. Update... We came for breakfast. We were super bummed at first to find out one of the things from the reel was a special not currently on the menu but they made it happen! They went above and beyond took the pic to the chef and he made it. Not only is the food delicious and photo worthy where else would they actually make something for you got on the menu. We will definitely make the ride again.

    Very solid diner, it's just pricey, even for the regular, non-crazy food. We ordered the crispy chicken wrap, which had avocado and bacon in it among other things, and a kids mac and cheese. The wrap came out to $22 with curly fries, which felt a bit steep. The ambiance is fun and modern inside, but the booths aren't that comfortable. Someone behind me kept bumping me from behind. Great servers and had a nice time. I'd probably come back for some of the outrageous eats with family or friends but not for a normal meal.

    Donuts

    I'll start to say that we didn't order any of the wild dishes that they are more well known for. We ordered pretty standard food, but I will say the portion sizes were great and all the food was delicious. The staff was very nice and attentive. They brought us some of their house made donuts near the end of the meal on the house. I imagine they were maybe making a new batch and had leftovers (I saw them taking some donuts to another table too). Or maybe it was because we went with the small child and they thought it would be nice for her. Either way, it was very nice. The decor and atmosphere is really nice. I really enjoyed the vibe. They definitely have some epic dishes on their menu that I think we will come back to try on a day when we don't have a young kid in tow. It's definitely meant more for adults than children, although kids aren't out of place there. We had the souvlaki platter, the grains and greens salad bowl, and the kids Mac and cheese. Everything was just really good. Very filling, very homey, and large portions at a good price point. The donuts were the cakey homemade ones with cinnamon sugar and they were perfect. Overall, would definitely come back. Definitely want to try some of their more creative and bonkers menu items.

    The milkshakes is water down not as thick as i expected, guess they didn't add icecream. It's like drinking sugar water with artificial strawberries flavor. ............Tried the one at Sherwood diner which is so much better. We ordered two Steak & egg , both steaks came out well done when asked for medium rare, the home fries don't taste good at all. Our sever doesn't seems to care, idk just the feeling... after we mentioned the steak was not done right, we didn't get any reaction back.. oh well... The curly fries is way too salty......so, conclusion it's bad quality and overpriced for this level. I tried blueberry waffle (didn't bother to take any picture anymore, waffle is too mushy, no flavor, only ate a quarter of it. I brought my family over to try because of all the nice reviews, walking out disappointed.

    Have been to the sister location before and decided to try this location out. It's located in a plaza that's pretty set back and you will miss it If you are not careful. Staff was super attentive Good came out fast but was pretty highly priced 6 wings came out to 15.00 while the wings were good and had great flavor that price is steep. The French toast was a huge portion and packed with yummy goodness The corned beef was ok it didn't taste homemade though (the menu you said homemade that's why I chose it) They take credit card and tip minimum option is 18 percent and then goes up from there (what happened to 15 percent) you can customize your own tip amt too Parking is street or garage Stamford location in our opinion is better

    We decided to try this restaurant as it's new and close to our home. As we walked in on a Sunday afternoon we were surprisingly seated quickly. Ordered an appetizer and two entrees. My wife's food was very good, mine was ok - (the lamb was a bit too salty on the gyro and too crispy for my taste). However their onion rings were amazing. The portion size was off the charts. They even also brought us two 'on the house' donuts which were delicious. The restaurant isn't huge but had a nice open layout with good space between tables. Thanks to Miguel our waiter who made sure we had what we needed at our table. Would we go back, yes we would recommend however I would try something different.

    Cool, relaxed atmosphere. The staff had energy and made a good espresso martini. The chicken cheeseburger was a piled high, delicious nap starter. There is a bunch of crazy menu items that I will need to come back and try.

    My family and I were able to snag a table ahead of the lunch rush. The menu is certainly quite innovative, and the pics on Yelp helped us narrow down our best options. The Brunch Crunch Wrap was definitely the most interesting and really tasty. Definitely use the dipping sauce. My breakfast burger was pretty average but large. Service was a bit on the slower side, but the fun bustle of an upscale diner kept our conversation going.

    Lunchtime!

    Today, I decided to do a daring order on UberEats and finally get around to trying out Elm Street Diner. I've been meaning to give this place a try ever since I first learned about their Stamford location on DevourPowerTV's YouTube shorts, and especially after I learned they were opening up a location here in Norwalk! I actually almost went on their first Friday night, but I didn't want to be walking into a crowded space with a big backpack full of stuff. If I had gone that night, my review of this place would have been posted right there and then. So I had ordered up the Chicken Mozzarella Vodka Melt with Waffle Fries, and I was also supposed to get a Chocolate Shake to go along with it. That being said, I understand how stacked those milkshakes get, so I will not be holding anyone responsible for not getting the drink. I work 7 miles away in Wilton, so I get it is a big ask to deliver one of these to the next town over. I still want to try one in the future though. Now onto the food I got. I took these photos at work, but don't let the fact you have an aluminum bowl for this bowl fool you! These portions sizes are generous and will certainly hit the spot! The waffle fries are crack they are so addictive! The way they are seasoned is worth getting these alone. They go even better if you're out having a picnic and decided to bring this for lunch. As for the sandwich itself, they put in a chicken cutlet, a few mozzarella sticks, a healthy amount of vodka sauce, and of course I added bacon. Seriously, you'll love this sandwich! Oh, and I love how on my bag it says "Have a Great Day!" The fact they handwritten this tells me that customer service is at least something Elm Street Diner cares about. It's cute and very much appreciated, especially in times like these. Really, I only give this 4 stars and not 5 because I want to be able to give this restaurant a proper visit and try more of their items. If food keeps being this good and I get good in-person service, I'll gladly bump this up to a 5! That said, I will definitely order from here again!

    I've been to the Stamford location a few times but this was my first time at this location. This location had a beautiful entrance with flowers and a fountain. The restaurant has the same spectacular comfort foods that are totally instagrammable and delicious. The staff is efficient and patient which is helpful because their menu can be very overwhelming.

The chicken was the highlight, crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and really well seasoned. You can tell it was freshly made. The cornbread was also really good, soft, warm, slightly sweet, and even better with the sorghum honey butter. The mac & cheese was great. it was rich, creamy, and felt homemade in the best way. I'm not usually a fan of cole slaw, and this one was a bit watery, I should have asked if I could swap it out. The desserts were a highlight too, the peach empanada was nice and warm, buttery, paired perfectly with the ice cream and icing, and the banana pudding was smooth, classic, and comforting with the nilla wafer crumble and fresh banana. Even my starter arugula lemon vinaigrette salad was delicious. Service was excellent and attentive, and the ambiance is definitely upscale and stylish. Overall, it's on the pricier side, but that feels expected for the quality and setting.

(Visited 3/11) Ambiance [4/5]: Minimalist style design, it's nice, Theres also pretty lighting and a good amount of seating with an open bar as well. Food: Trix latte w/ whole milk (seasonal): [4/5] Tastes like a bowl of cereal from a cup. Topped with whipped cream it's really delicious! Tastes like a cup of childhood. Theres a good anount of cereal in the cup alongside the ice so it feels like you get a good amount of sips before the drink is done. Other than that it's still pretty good nonetheless. Sin-A-Bun: [5/5] This is very delicious, it's a perfect mix of sweet and savory. The smokiness from the bacon surprisingly compliments the cinnamon roll buns. Good concept and executed perfectly. If there were an option i'd choose that over having it on the side. Surprisingly I didn't notice it on the side on the sandwich until I was half way through. Still delicious though. Challah french toast [5/5] Tasty and sweet. You can't go wrong with french toast. I added strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and Nutella drizzle (each topping is $3 extra). It was worth the price it was delicious. It came with a side of butter which compliments the sweetness of the toast and some syrup. I didn't use much of the syrup but it was still delicious when I did decide to use it! I wouldn't order this because for delivery because its one of those things that taste so much better fresh in front of you rather than waiting to he dropped off. Service: [5/5] Fast and efficient service! The restaurant works as a team. One man sat me, The middle eastern girl with the long sleeve black shirt took my order and checked on me, and the white boy with the arm tattoos and pen between his ear checked on me at times, and cleaned my table while the girl was busy. It's great to see everyone helping each other and not letting anyone suffer. I Loved it! Overall Cafe social, is a great restaurant to stop by if you plan on going to the mall. Not only is it a 8 minute walk but you're also given a great meal and overall greater experience. I see myself coming back here if I'm ever in norwalk looking for a quick bite!
