Espresso martini
Katie M.

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.

Kids Mac & cheese
Will D.

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
Sarah B.

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.

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.

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

Inside as you walk in
Willie W.

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.

Hot honey fried chicken cheeseburger
Steven B.

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 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!!

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.

Food was good. We avoided the spectacular dishes seen on Instagram. At 9am, their donuts had yet to be delivered from their other location. This location was more difficult to locate as the entrance isn't off the sidewalk out front. Avoid the internet inspired dishes and your meal will be reasonably priced. Bathrooms and dining area were clean. Service seemed slow (as place wasn't full.)

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.

I'm a big guy and when sat down, at least 3 people asked if I was ok and if I wanted to sit somewhere else. I was fine and we enjoyed the place. The entire is nice.

My son and his mom only ordered fries and they both could have eaten one order together because the servings were huge! You definitely get your money's worth! They then ordered one of their famous milkshakes and they didn't disappoint! They were loaded! We ate the ice cream and took the cakes and donuts home with us! I love this place and the next time we're in Stamford we will be back!

It was quite busy when we arrived on a late Sunday a.m. in January. Tables were filled and there was a line for ordering.

We stuck it out and the food was at our table in less than 20 mins. The sandwiches were ooey gooey toasted cheesiness and paired perfectly with the creamy tomato soup. It came with a lighty dressed arugula salad. I had a freshly brewed ice tea and my dining partner got a Dr. Brown's soda. The breakfast rush was soon over but people were still coming in to eat and grab take out while we enjoyed our meals. They also offer beers and wines and hot chocolate.

Michelle, our server, was excellent--personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. The food was outstanding from start to finish.

Amazing experience--we'll definitely be back!

ORIGIN: Chef/Owner Jeff Taibe initially opened Taproot in…read moresuburban Bethel with wife Steph Sweeney (Owner/Manager), but found a good percent of their innovation-seeking customers travel from Connecticut's shoreline to visit. After they became aware of the availability of a large space restaurant in the city of Norwalk, the restaurant migrated to its present spot. LOCATION: The restaurant is in a lively location, with a movie theater across the street and a convenient parking lot in the back. ATMOSPHERE: The space, which is divided by walls into three dining areas, has a "shabby chic" aesthetic and is lit by tall and wide paned industrial windows. EXPERIENCE: I've visited for brunch and Happy Hour with friends who live or work in Norwalk. Chef Taibe is creative and skillful, and I'm forever impressed by the dishes he serves. As a result, it comes as no surprise that the restaurant was recognized as best in Fairfield County during the Connecticut Restaurant Association's 2023 Crazies award ceremony. (Chef Taibe was finalist for best chef in all of the state the very same year.) The pimento cheese starter topped with Benton ham jam (happy hour/dinner) and smoked brisket hash (brunch) highlight how Chef Jeff Taibe transforms and elevates common menu items into ones that are memorable and crave-inducing. TIPS: Adding to the menu variety, specials are available between 5-9 pm as follows: Tuesdays: Burger plus Beer combo ($18); Wednesdays: Seafood discounts and specials; Thursdays: Smoked Prime Rib ($65); Fridays: Fossil Farm Game specials. It appears that walk ins are always seated in bar dining area, regardless of whether the central dining area appears free. If you rather not sit on a high top bench or stool, a reservation is recommended. The restaurant is also accessible via a back parking lot entrance.
