10/10 Go here now!…read more We had an awesome experience at Farm Belly. We got the pancakes with blackberry and lemon zest compote, the potato and mushroom omelette, and the biscuits and gravy. Everything came out quickly, hot, and prepared with love and respect for the ingredients. The team was fantastic. Super friendly, welcoming, and clearly proud of what they are doing. I also loved the huge sign on the back wall showing all the farms they partner with. It really makes you feel connected to where the food is coming from. I got to chat with the owner, Meg, for a bit too and we ended up finding a shared connection to Queens, NY, which was a fun surprise. Great coffee, great breakfast and brunch, great people, and plenty of treats to grab on the way out. We will definitely be back.

My friends will tell you. I almost never use the phrase "Hidden Gem"to describe a restaurant. Most…read moreplaces aren't hidden enough, or gem-y enough. But I'm calling a New Haven Cafe a Hidden Gem -- The Farm Belly. The Farm Belly ("FB") is a farm-to-table cafe in the Fair Haven neighborhood of New Haven. I was recently researching New Haven breakfast spots, and FB came up with a 4.6 Star rating in Yelp, and a 4.8 Star rating on Google. Strong ratings! My sausage, egg and cheese biscuit was delicious. FB posts its Farm Partners right on the wall. My eggs were from @thefarmerscow and the chives were from @beckettfarm . The space is cute and the atmosphere is inviting. FB is adjacent to the Quinnipiac River and some tables have river views. Service was terrific. I spoke with the owners. Love them. For all these reasons, I'm calling The Farm Belly a gem. Since I spend a lot of time on the New Haven restaurant scene, I was surprised the FB name didn't ring a bell at first. There are two primary reasons for that. One, this section of Fair Haven is tucked away in one of the more quiet areas of New Haven, and out-of-towners are more focused on other busier areas of NH. Two, FB's signs don't stand out as you drive by. FB is located in a historical building called "King's Block", and that name still appears out front. There are a couple of small "Farm Belly" signs, but you might miss them if you're driving. Since "King's Block" has served as a hotel, church, fish store, etc. since it was constructed in 1816, you might not even notice that it's a cafe. For these reasons, I think "Hidden" applies as well. The Farm Belly is a Hidden Gem in my book. It's open for breakfast, lunch, coffee and treats 6 days a week.

There was a long line and people were very excited and told me great stories about the food. I like that this two hours spacious on the inside and had great snacks and I do love the prices of the food which was comparable. However I was anticipating this sandwich and I was ready to sing the praises along with the community. I got my sandwich and it felt thin I ordered a steak and cheese sub. Previously, I heard that the people made a nice big thick sandwiches so I know this would just feel me up for lunch. I open my sandwich and it was a very thin layer of meat. Heart drop the disappointment! OK they didn't pass the first test so I took a bite and it was an average sandwich but I couldn't find the cheese just the mayonnaise. I was a bit disappointed in fact upset, because I was expecting this great sandwich that everyone has raved so much about. I didn't get a big fat juicy sandwich like the rest of the community? They were no comparison to the best deli Food store at 339 Ella T Grasso Boulevard. I gave this for free no one is paying me to say this I just love good food. Tried it again and it's only getting worse! The more you asked for on the sandwich the smaller the sandwich becomes. Do not request for fries so you will get the kid size.

The Tacos were three for twelve dollars which wasn't a bad price. I don't know what the fourth Taco was that was given to me but all the Tacos were delicious. My favorite Taco was the Mango Habanero Taco. The first bite was spicy but the flavor in the chicken was dynamite. The Steak Taco was nicely seasoned, moist, and tender. They were just all around delicious Tacos and the customer service is great.

Stopped here for lunch, we got 4 tacos and we could also not leave without trying their Crunchwrap. They have a wide variety of flavors of protein to choose from, each come with two dipping sauces. Options include mango habanero chicken, ground beef, chorizo and a host of others. We got a chorizo, birria and a sweet chili chicken taco. All outstanding! The tortillas were super crispy and have a brown cheesy coating on the outside, that's what makes it stand out from the rest. We also got the Mango Habanero Chicken Crunchwrap, outstanding as well. Service was quick and friendly, they are passionate about what they do. Hours are limited and they only have one table for outdoor dining, best bet is to take this to a park somewhere, that's what we did!! We will absolutely come here again, amazing food.

Mac N' Out is a comfort food eatery that opened in Darien, Connecticut in June 2013. It was founded…read moreby Kate Voll. Growing up in a home with three sisters, Voll had several years experience of working in the kitchen as well as her parents' food establishments. After graduating with a degree in finance, Voll came up with an idea to open her own eatery. After some experimentation with her sisters in their parents' kitchen, it was decided that Voll's comfort food eatery would be exclusively dedicated to macaroni & cheese: a dish that most people have grown up with. The first Mac N' Out opened up at the Interstate 95 Northbound service center in Darien, with a standalone location opening in Milford the following month. The menu features at least 20 varieties of macaroni & cheese (from traditional to Mediterranean to Mexican) as well as "mac munchies", "mac wraps" and "Mac salads". Following the success of the first two locations, a take-out only location opened in Bridgeport in 2015. As of 2026, only the Milford location is still operating. I recently visited Mac N' Out with my younger son while we were in the area. It just so happens that my younger son's favorite food is Mac & cheese, so he was delighted to have lunch at an eatery that exclusively serves the classic comfort dish. We were so overwhelmed by all of the different toppings and flavor varieties. My son ordered the kid's portion of "Grandma's Mac" (white cheddar & American cheese), which came with apple slices and juice. I ended up ordering the "Fourth of July Mac" (Hummel Beef Franks, applewood bacon & cheddar cheese). This combo was very nostalgic for me, as my mother frequently made Mac & cheese with cut up Hummel hot dogs for me when I was a little boy. Both dishes were served to us still simmering in miniature cast iron skillets. The mac & cheese is very hot when it comes to you, but it's so delicious! I paired up my dish with a bottle of Foxon Park White Birch Beer. My son and I had a great experience at Mac N' Out and we would love to return to the future. There are so many more combos that we need to try!

Second visit here because I was extremely disappointed a month or two back from my first visit…read more Walked in about noon on a Saturday, the place was steady with takeout with no other guests dining in I was greeted warmly by the young lady working the front. Trying to stay safe and basic, ordered the plain macaroni and cheese, so I can get a baseline. I also ordered a fountain drink. With the tip it was $15 and change. I took a seat after filling up my fountain drink, and waited about 10 minutes for the mac & cheese As I'm waiting for my order, a Scooby Doo cartoon is playing on the not needed television in my left ear. From my right ear, I'm listening to the staff worker in the kitchen singing to what sounds like Italian music. Could've been Spanish music. A little bit disturbing, as the music and the worker were both quite loud Within 10 minutes, my order arrives. The cast-iron pan with the macaroni and cheese in it, a couple of napkins, and a fork. Now I may be old school, or maybe I'm missing something. Why can't this restaurant serve the food with a plate and a spoon for serving out of the cast-iron pan? I'm getting older. I'm not in college or high school anymore eating food out of a cast-iron pan. I actually like to sit down and enjoy a plated meal, whether at home or out paying good money. The only exception I could see would be grinders. But I want a plate here! And if you're gonna serve it in a cast-iron pan, I want a spoon. I was expecting a flashback to the awful mac & cheese I had last time I was here. Instead, I got a very creamy cheesy sauce and an almost al dente elbow macaroni. The serving was generous in the small cast-iron pan. I did find myself using salt and pepper, as I didn't taste any seasoning at all other than the breadcrumbs on top that I mixed in, with this order So I'm gonna stand with four stars, even though I almost want to give it another three. Thank you to the gracious server, without you, it would've been back to three stars. In closing, I drove an hour and almost 20 minutes down to retry this place. I went out of my way..... For future reference, for in door dining guests, it really would be nice to serve plates with the mac & cheese, and the cast-iron pan and maybe over a pot holder. A serving spoon is a must if you're gonna share this dish with somebody. Anybody older than college age will appreciate the plate or bowl to enjoy this meal from... trust me
